📋 About This Mod
Fixes for NextGen version are out. Big thanks to Lars for preparing initial NextGen update.
It's made to by used mainly with dx11. Works with dx12 but it's not fully compatible nor completely tested
Immersive Lighting is culmination of my work on lighting system for Witcher 3. It's prepared as complete overhaul of lighting in base game and two DLCs. Project purpose was to deliver enjoyable product, give fantasy vibe at day and realistic vibe during nights, eliminate ugly lights put into cutscenes, extend weather system in all regions. It introduces many things not present in vanilla as volumetric clouds in Skellige, eliminated environmental light probes in all regions and many other things I forgot to mention here.
Version 2. 0 can be used with Disable Fake Lights in All Quest by Ramzesovich, which improves cutscenes a lot, but it's no longer a must have mod. Version 1. 0 was been built around it and it's needed there.
