RealGrade – Realistic ReShade Preset for BeamNG.drive

Note: ReShade looks much better in-game than in screenshots!

Make BeamNG.drive look closer to real life. RealGrade is a lightweight ReShade preset focused on natural colors, believable lighting and a subtle cinematic finish, without washing out the game or killing your FPS.

 Features:

• Natural, balanced color grading
• Improved dynamic range and contrast
• Subtle bloom and soft highlight roll-off
• Better shadow, midtone and highlight control
• Local contrast for more detail in asphalt, bodywork and buildings
• Light film grain and vignette for a camera-like look
• Gentle chromatic aberration
• Performance-friendly: no ray tracing, no heavy depth effects

Installation:

1. Download and install ReShade from reshade.me (select BeamNG.drive.x64.exe, DirectX 11). 

2. Install the standard shader packages when asked (including "Standard effects" and optional community packs). 

3. Download RealGrade and copy `RealGrade_v0_1_Reshade_ByKubixDev.ini` into the BeamNG.drive game folder (next to the .exe). 

4. Launch the game, press Home to open the ReShade menu, and select the preset from the list.
