Poppy - A Photographic Reshade

Poppy:

A Photographic Reshade

This reshade preset has been created for the sake of photographic quality and modularity. It has been inspired by many artists, but most notably, the classic work of Midhras, Zilverborn, and Casablanca L, as well as my own work for Vanilla TW3. I believe it is fair to say that none of the authors listed above is afraid of making the colours pop. However, since much what is needed for a mesmerizing shot is conditional, many of the most beautiful photoshotting reshades are overwhelming for day-to-day player experience. Poppy remedies that issue in its own way.

The game should look excellent, whether as a motion picture or as a photograph.

I sketch on top of Phoenix Lighting Mod's various iterations. The recommended versions include (but are not limited to) V, VII. 1, II, and 8+ (Original and RedUx until 10. 1; Emerald for PLM13). Also works very well with WLM and other lighting mods, such as Atmospheric Lighting Mod (ALM). PLM has changed a lot, and has a remarkable amount of variability within each of its releases. Milos' work has inspired me enough to make a reshade that is able to adapt across PLM versions: between the dreariness of the witcher world, the stunning sunsets & sunrises, and the various natural settings.

Greens are lusher, blues bite, red sings, shadows follow - if you wish!

Except for the preset's core pillars, which are activated at the start, the filmic effects, which make the hours preceding a sunset or sunrise special, are toggleable - which means a smaller fps hit overall. Most importantly, it gives you a bigger choice! You can switch up from the realistic hues when roaming the countryside to a stylised, richer look on a whim - just switch off a few shaders in favour of others. Check out the ReadMes for that!

Overall hit is in the range of 5-14fps, depending on the number of effects in use.

I have really enjoyed working on this reshade and hope it brings something special to the table for each of you!
