📋 About This Mod
/!\This mod is no longer maintened!
You can still use it but I recommend you to disable Ambiant Occlusion and use this mod instead.
Volumetric Fog and Ambiant Occlusion
I'm trying to keep the lighting as realistic as possible, no "artistic" filters. This reshade is FPS friendly.
I wanted to keep the vanilla atmosphere which is almost perfect in my opinion.

[ HOW TO INSTALL ]

Sometimes, Volumetric FOG can drop few FPS (it depends on the weather). You can disable it (e_VolumetricFog = 0) in your user.cfg.
After that the lighting will be the same as Vanilla, but still with better contrast, shadows and colors.

Better light, more natural grass colors.
This update costs 0 FPS.
UPDATE 1.3 - REALISTIC LIGHTING RESHADE is a Reshade preset for Kingdom Come: Deliverance that aims for realistic lighting without artistic filters, preserving the vanilla atmosphere.
