Aeonic 2023: Real-Gen Subnautica
Aeonic2021 quickly became Subnautica's #1 preset, in both trending and downloads! However, after becoming GAMERTWEAK's #1 mod for Subnautica, I decided to improve it further... Real-Gen.
You can also visit my Twitter to track anything I may be working on.
INSTALLATION > Download and install ReShade (https://reshade.me/) and then paste the preset into your Subnautica directory.
Main file - ReShade with photorealistic lighting, tones and crisp detail.
Other versions: An older alternative to the aforementioned, very aggressive. See other screenshots.
ADDITIONAL INFO
Settings: 1080p @Max setting.
The shaders folder contains custom shaders used in this ReShade, it is crucial that you overwrite everything with what I've provided!
