Main Description
_____________________________________________________________

The Skyrim file of the Month of July 2013 is now available for Shadowrun Returns!

The Ultimate Lighting Overhaul (ULO) is a labor of love that will enhance the lighting of Shadowrun while respecting the original aesthetic. ULO is a carefully crafted config for SweetFX that adds lighting and postprocessing effects to Shadowrun in a way that will not destroy your framerate and enhances color, shadows, brightness, light sources and enhanced SMAA while respecting the original aesthetic.


There are 3 quality pre-sets for ULO. Lite, High, Ultra. The difference is as follows:

Lite: Tonemap, Vibrance, Curves
High: SMAA High Quality, Sharpening, Tonemap or Sepia, Vibrance, Curves
ultra: SMAA Ultra Quality, Sharpening, Tonemap or Sepia, Vibrance, Curves, HDR

Performance usage difference on a GTX 580:

Lite: 2% GPU
High: 6% GPU
Ultra: 11% GPU

There are also 3 Aesthetic Styles to choose from. Enhanced. Fantasy and Grim.

Enhanced works to improve everything about Skyrim without making any truly dramatic changes.
Shadows will be a little darker, lights will be a little brighter and colors will be slightly more colorful.

Fantasy offers the improvements of Enhanced while making the world far more colorful.

Grim offers the improvements of Enhanced while making the world far more dark and less colorful.
