📋 About This Mod
Really fancied making a tooned-up Reshade for Dark Souls. It's came out really well, so if you feel like a change, and like animation, then give it a try.
Just unzip then add everything in the 50 Cell-shades of Dark Souls folder to the Dark Souls III game folder, where the .exe is.
Thanks, and hope y'all enjoy it as much as I do.
Latest version 1. 1 improves the cell-shaded visuals including that of buildings and makes it easier to see enemies. Also it slightly increases performance.
Latest version 1. 2 has improved visibility in darker sections, and improved overall brightness and contrast. Also a few visual tweaks here and there to compensate. Performance should remain the same.
Latest version 1. 3 is up. This is the best looking of all by a mile, and definitely the closest to what I originally had in mind to begin with. Cel-shaded visuals are now crisp and the water colour painting style has been cleaned up. Enjoy! (SSAO issue has been fixed).
Added another version which cuts back on the cel-shade look of version 1. 3. Text is easier to read.
Latest version is up, actually V 1. 07, a minor update which addresses both the jaggies and the slight oversaturation of certain colours, although this is in no way an overhaul as such.
A compact visual preset that gives Dark Souls a cartoony, cell-shaded look. With 301 endorsements and over 8,000 downloads, it's a niche but appreciated cosmetic option for players wanting a stylized aesthetic. Last updated in 2016, so compatibility with current game versions is unverified.
