Description

UPDATE JULY 2023: This mod is old, Nyoko and algernon made a new mod which includes Relight's features and more called Lumina: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2983036781

---



Rebalanced and customizable lighting and tonemapping.
Also includes 7 different LUTs.

Adjustments: brightness, gamma, contrast, overall temperature/tint, sun temperature/tint, sky temperature/tint, moon temperature/tint, moon light, twilight tint, sky tonemapping(side effect: reduced fog).


UPDATE (Apr 30, 2018)
Includes (failed) fix for shadow acne - dynamic shadow bias. (Thanks to saki7)
(Side effect - sometimes shadows look detached.)
updated again to add "force low shadow bias" setting which will fix the detached shadows but again introduce acne, really tired of fighting this game but you have to make a choice between detached shadows or shadow acne...

Added disable shadow smoothing toggle. (Thanks to TPB)



Hotkey: Shift + Alt + L





Balanced for global light 5.0 and ambient light 1.0 settings in ultimate eyecandy. (exactly middle of sliders)
Default can look dark, so just turn it up lol why do I need to explain that like 100 times.

Note that the map theme can affect the look of the lighting because it contains sky tint and rayleigh scattering.


Shadows must be set to max using Shadow Strength Adjuster otherwise it will look like the sun is leaking through objects. If you want to reduce shadow strength, use ultimate eyecandy to reduce global light intensity and increase ambient light intensity, this is the proper way to make shadows less visible.

Definite conflict: (DISABLE/UNSUBSCRIBE)
Softer Shadows

Potential problems: (CHECK SETTINGS)
Daylight Classic (classic sunlight color/intensity and classic fog color must be disabled)
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=530871278

LUTs setting is useless because who would use vanilla LUTs anyway.
Color is useless as it will be overridden by Relight.
Intensity and position is useless because you can set that using Eyecandy.
Classic fog effect is for cubemap replacer. (may need older daylight classic version)
Classic fog color does some weird stuff idk.


Thank you to:
Simon Royer for the UI / saving and preset system, help with raycasting for shadow bias formula
saki7 (sksk) for showing how to change shadow bias
TPB for showing how to disable shadow smoothing

Relight could be OK, but its dependencies are a bit obsolete

There is no option that can influence buildings shadow like what mod Softer Shadows does. This mod sadly is not a replacement for the combo that @darcula2000 mentioned.

Daylight Classic + Softer Shadows + Dynamic Resolution + Real Neutral LUT,Thank you, these four mods are still valid until December 2024.

I respect and thank every mod creator, but I have to admit that after 9 years, the simplest and most effective mods in terms of light and shadow effects are still those from 8 years ago.

this 4 mods combination still cannot be replaced, such as' Render It! ',' Lumina ', and' Relight '. Although these complex mods are more flexible and free, they require patience to adjust the values. Most players just want to achieve a simple and beautiful light and shadow effect.

What I most want to adjust is the part of the building that faces away from the light. The latest Mod [Natural Lighting] can replace [Daylight Classic], but still cannot fully replace [Softer Shadows]

I don't understand where the keyboard shortcut is, it's not the one indicated in the information, or it doesn't work for me...:steamsad:

Works fine alongside Daylight Classic and Fog Controller.
