Dark Souls 2 Scholar Of The First Sin InfiniDetail

Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin - InfiniDetail

This mod does the following:

• []Reduce/eliminate texture LOD (Level of Detail)

  []Increase draw distances, less pop-in of mappieces and objects

  []Draw some mappieces that were inside the level files but never rendered ingame

  []Improved lightshaft quality

  []Improved Depth of Field (DoF) quality, now has a bokeh-like effect

  []Increased shadowmap resolution (ModEngine1 required, supplied with the mod)

  []Increased light draw distance

  This mod takes a conservative and disciplined approach. It does not seek to alter

  the game's look, it does not add additional lighting, it does not remove spot lights or

  remove baked shadows. In other words, it tries to look authentic to the original game,

  and yet a still noticeable visual upgrade.

  NOTE: Mappieces that have shadow source/target disabled have not been altered.

  There will be a second version of the mod in the future that will enable shadow

  source for certain mappieces. Enabling it for all mappieces at once did not turn

  out to be a good idea, so it has to be done judiciously.

  Altered objects meanwhile do have shadow sources enabled
