Love the refreshing very desert-y color grading you are sporting in your shots, just great! Is this NV Reloaded, or which ENB/reshade, weather mod and dusty distance do you use?
Cheers! I'm using a slightly edited Rudy ENB (without the ESP or SMAA) alongside Desert Natural Weathers and my own Reshade preset. The Reshade is mostly for antialiasing and sharpening, but also has some effects to enhance the contrast and make the colours pop a bit more.
For the distant views, I use Dusty Distance Redone with the random settings option, which I definitely recommend for diversity's sake. I actually do run NVR as well, but only the screenshot and water features so my computer doesn't explode.
Thanks for the extense answer! Back in 2019 I made a similar approach with Rudy and 47 ENB Weather and some of your shots remind me of my results. Don't want to encourage you to look, but I have some screenshots in my profile that have similarities to yours, though at that time there were no DNW and Dusty Distance Redone, and I was wondering of what your shots reminded me, ha ha. Anyways, love the style of your pictures. Maybe you release your reshade with a description of your setup one day?
Your screenies look amazing, man! The colour scheme seems far more realistic, and you somehow managed to make the distant LoD look good even without Dusty Distance. Your desert looks scorched, not baked like mine (if that makes sense), which is how it probably should be for an immersive graphical overhaul of New Vegas. Love the contrast, too.
I was pretty lucky with mine because Desert Natural Weathers works wonders for dehazing the game's colour gamut and the distant views are mostly obscured by DDR. All in all, I was able to get a look I was happy with without too much tweaking of the base mods. I'll certainly consider releasing the Reshade preset at some point, but I spent 2-3 months building this modded game and probably lost track of all the other things I've changed, so there may be some other crucial tweaks I've forgotten about that affect the overall look. More than happy to send it privately, though :)
sorry for the delay - real life obligations were calling. Thanks for your offer regaarding the reshade, I would like to try it. If you don't mind, drop me an email with a ZIP to --- [email protected] ---. I know about the "other crucial tweaks", lol, they often make up for a difference in looks and people wonder why a mod doesn't look as "advertised" when they run it in their own setup. No matter what, I'd like to try your reshade.
Scorched is the right wording for some of my shots, yes. The contrast was part of the looks as well as Rudy's color grading, which is excellent, back then, and while the setup looked amazing I never released it due to fog/horizon inconsistencies in 47 ENB Weathers sadly - each of Hit's/Marcurios's weathers had different intensities one was simply not able to cope with with what ENB offered parameter-wise.
