📋 About This Mod
Hello there,
this is ReShade preset for Dark Souls 3 Champion's Ashes mod, that changes lightning by it's own.
This ReShade contains:
- smooth bloom effect and stronger shadows
- blur to make textues and effect look a bit less oversharpen
- sharpen and fake antialiasing to make textures look much better than they actually do
- fake depth field to make it a bit more realistic
- saturation and clarity
I recomend using this ReShade with Champion's Ashes mod, but it looks good even in normal game.
You can also turn off real antialiasing and depth field, for it already contains those :)
