Overview
Preset Generator builds a complete Studio graphics look for you in a single click. Pick one of sixteen style templates spanning times of day, weather, and cinematic moods, dial in the tonemapper, intensity, contrast, color tint, effects, and fog, then hit Generate for a fresh randomized look you can keep re-rolling until one lands. A second Variations tab loads any saved preset and gently nudges only the layers you choose, giving you subtle alternatives of a look you already like. It changes the live scene through the Graphics plugin's own grading pipeline, so you save the result through the Graphics window whenever you are happy with it.

Features
- Sixteen style templatesChoose from curated looks covering times of day, weather, and cinematic moods, each one seeding a full set of post-processing values.
- One-click Generate and Re-rollGenerate rolls a fresh randomized look inside the chosen style, and Re-roll keeps rolling new variations until one feels right.
- Tonemapper modeSwitch the target grading pipeline between AgX (the Studio default), HDR, or LDR so the preset bakes into whichever mode you work in.
- Intensity controlFour levels from Subtle to Extreme set how far the generator pushes values away from each style's neutral center.
- Contrast and look selectorOverride a style's contrast with Soft, Punchy, Hard, or Mono for full greyscale, or leave it on Auto to follow the style.
- Color tint overrideLock the overall mood color to one of seven hues, pushed strong enough to show even on desaturated styles, or leave it Auto.
- Effect and fog togglesTurn chromatic aberration and vignette on or off, and set atmospheric fog from Off through Light, Normal, Heavy, or Extreme.
- Variations tabLoad any saved preset and nudge only the layers you tick, such as white balance, tone, bloom, vignette, grain, or auto exposure, for a slightly different take.
- Advanced per-setting varyingExpand each layer into individual sliders to control exactly how much every single value drifts, or switch specific values off entirely.
- Diagnose buttonA one-press diagnostics button logs the current post-processing state to the console to help track down missing or misbehaving layers.
Configuration
| Setting | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| UI Scale | 1.0 | Overall size of the wizard window, adjustable from 1.0 to 3.0 for high-DPI and 4K displays; it is also cycled by the size button in the window's title bar. |
| Verbose logging | false | Logs every value that Generate and Variations change, and any they skip, to the BepInEx console; leave off unless you are troubleshooting. |
Requirements
- Modding API (KKAPI). Hard dependency that the plugin loads against; without it Preset Generator will not start.
- Honey Select 2 Studio. The wizard only runs inside Studio, where the graphics and post-processing layers it edits live.
- Graphics Settings by keelhauled. Soft dependency reached through reflection; it provides the AgX color grading, the contrast look presets, fog, and the save/load system. Generate still applies standard effects without it, but AgX looks, saving, and the entire Variations tab need it installed.
Tips
- The wizard only changes the live look, it does not save on its own, so save through the Graphics window (F5) once you are happy with a result.
- The Variations tab loads whatever preset you select, so it works on any saved preset, not just ones the wizard made.
- Set Contrast to Mono for an instant black-and-white greyscale look.
- Use the size button in the title bar to enlarge the window on 4K displays.
