About this mod

A atmopheric and dark preset to fit the tone of the Witcher 3 without sacrificing the fantasy eye candy of vanilla.

Permissions and credits

Made for WLM

A dark and atmospheric preset designed to perfectly fit the tone of The Witcher 3.
Prepare for a beautiful Witcher 3.




The Witcher 3 is a dark fantasy game. I made the graphics reflect that.

Introducing

- Removes the yellow-ish tint present in the vanilla game.
- Fixes the original flat look by restoring the correct white points.
- No more banding in the sky with the Deband shader.
- New anti-aliasing to fix all the those jagged edges.
- Using new sharpen shader not found in the normal shader package to enhance the image without oversharpening.
- No clipping.
Balanced for use in all regions.
New Diffuseglow shader to brighten up the sky during the day.
Colorfull and fantasy like without oversaturating the colors.
It just looks good.
