📋 About This Mod
Version with more depth now available... Just needed to increase the mask opacity... I may have increased a bit much, though... Kinda just looks like vanilla again (still a bit clearer, though)...
"Tweener" version also available... More depth (and less clarity) than main version... Less depth (and more clarity) than "More Depth" version... I think this is my preferred version...
"Invisible Tubes" version now available... As requested... Note that the screenshot for this uses higher in-game settings than the others (it doesn't affect performance at all... It's still rendering the tubes, they're just invisible)... The scene does lose a lot of light, as seen, though... Those tubes basically act as giant lightbulbs...
"Cyber Tubes" version now available... Swaps the mask texture to the circuit board texture that is used on the FF:06:B5 statues... Glass itself is near invisible (though not entirely)...
Appears to slightly boost performance around the tubes...
