📋 About This Mod
VGX Burning Village Cutscene NGThis mod tries to recreate the famous village cutscene shown during the vgx trailer. I swapped around the fire FX for others that IMO look better and I also have now assigned the cutscene a completely custom env instead of the old one I was using in the old gen version, so I can tweak it safely without worrying about affecting other areas. While the env is custom, if you use a lighting mod that tweaks bloom specifically (in the world file .w2w), it will probably mess up the overall look of the mod, possibly making it look overblown or completely flat.
I suggest using Ray tracing if your PC can handle it, it gives the mod quite a boost. If not, non RT lighting is fine aswell. I posted both RT and non RT screenshots.
I also removed all the old reshade shots I had made when I created this mod. I agree that was confusing, since the reshade was boosting the pictures quite a bit. All the new screenshots of version 1. 1 are pure vanilla games. The only mods installed are this one and the Eredin armor + mask combo. No Reshade or lighting mod whatsoever.
I also cut down the normal and bright version with just one, that I think looks balanced enough.
Thanks to AKBLT for this great video comparison!
