CONTENTS COMPLETE HANDBOOK
Read in order or jump to the problem.
The first two chapters establish a stable setup. The rest can be used as individual working references.
Installation
Install the ASI, ReShade, connector and folders, then complete a short proof render.
Rendering
Choose FPS, shutter, samples, capture mode and output settings with a reason behind each choice.
Depth of field
Use the new physical aperture export mode with deliberate focus, bokeh quality and realistic expectations.
Camera paths
Build deliberate paths using smooth markers, pacing profiles, field of view and attached shots.
Camera shake
Create believable operator movement without turning every shot into constant wobble.
Scene controls
Relight a recorded clip with time, weather and wetness while protecting the grade.
Troubleshooting
Move from a visible symptom to the setting, file or requirement most likely responsible.
Know the key. Find the answer.
Search every setting from Render.ini and RockstarEditorPlus.ini in one reference.
Setting behaviour and dependencies are verified against the RE+ project and source material.
Shot recipes and cinematic recommendations are guidance, not official defaults.
