Sphiratrioth's - It's Breathtaking 2024 - GITS 3.X Reshades

DEPRECATED: Use those updated Reshade presets instead:

Sphiratrioth's - It's Breathtaking 2025 - Nova-Edge-GITS at Cyberpunk 2077 Nexus - Mods and community

Introduction

First of all - those are presets you're gonna love or hate. Just like with all of my Reshades in all the games. I have a taste for such colors, my monitors are set-up for me, not for everyone - so I cannot guess if you have as much fun with those presets or not. Sorry for that - I'm just sharing presets that some of you folks may like but I am making them mostly for myself. If you do not like my Reshades - it's fine, I completely respect that :-)

This time - the problem with photorealistic presets seems to be that the highly detailed cars in close captions look super-great while lightning looks good only under a cloudy/sunny weather and the whole city keeps its stubborn, game-like easthetics. It stops pleasing under different light conditions, at night etc. Promo pics do not usually show that, haha! Because of this issue with most of Reshades, I'm not publishing 1000 beautiful shots with cars only - like in many other presets I downloaded myself and then realized they're not so great for the city caps nor playing in general. Instead, you can see how my Reshades actually look like at day and and at night, in dry and wet weather, in close caps and far distance shots.

However - still captions do not show as much as video on YouTube - I made it to present transitions between my favourite version of the preset and standard GITS 3. X + Nova (so not entirely vanilla but vanillish in comparison with a Reshade). Video available in full 1440p/60 FPS, makes GITS even more GITS'y. Motoko would be proud. Looks even better in 4k.

Installation

1. Of course, you need the amazing GITS 3. X (LEGACY) mod first. Just grab GITS 3. X (LEGACY) AIO version, then a hotfix - it's actually still needed. Unpack all into your game folder.

2. If you want - use a Nova (Pure) LUT from equally great Nova LUT (AgX Colorspace - HDR). This is optional - presets work good without it but what you see in the video stands on Nova LUT (Pure) mixed with GITS 3. X (Legacy) lighting/modifications. Feel free to experiment with other LUTs of your choice.

3. Remove all the weather effect mods. Weathermancer stays (or download it) as it does not come with any ENV effects, it's exclusively a tool for changing weather. Remove mods such as Enhanced Weather V5, New Weather Effects etc. Sad but worth it. There's no other way around. LUTs are compatible with weather effect mods, ENVs are not - and GITS comes with its own ENV + more lighting tweaks. Alternatively, use GITS 3. X LUT only or NOVA LUT only - then you are
