Preset description:
~========================~ ~Fantasy~ For those of you who love fantasy-like graphics, this preset does its best to add a colorful immersion to the Fantasy world of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. =--------= videos - v3.0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qnJ_MTwBHc - v1.0 https://youtu.be/C91RhJQcQKc =--------= UPDATES Ver 1.2 - balanced colors, colors now appear more natural than blue. - fixed known cloud issue, clouds no longer appear "tinted" - added some slight changes to lighting - colors no longer strain your eyes after long play sessions. (Although this was only a problem for some who have sensitive eyes.) - added bloom effect. Ver 2.0 - recreated everything from scratch - better lighting - improved bloom - no performance impact - reworked color palette. Used more colors from the original vanilla palette. v3.0 - added new color palette - increased saturation - tweaked colors - darkened shadows v3.2 - toned down the saturation (just a bit) - brightened shadows a little more - balanced the new color palette v3.3 - Removed Lift Gamma Gain effect which caused eye strain in bright areas - Removed blue tint (This was already added in the updated 3.2) - Very slight change to colors - Lowered overall intensity of brightness ~========================~ HOW TO INSTALL 1.

Hey sushi, I decided to start the game over from the beginning and loving your 3.3 preset. However, I am noticing that the caves are way too dark compared to vanilla or your 3.0 preset. Is there any way to keep your 3.3 exactly the same (color, and feel) and lower the darkness inside the cave?

Awesome Preset :) Thank you ;) Look insane with cutscene lighting. Made a vidéo here :

Hey Sushi; I used some predefined attributes of your preset, and i would like your permission to do so and release it?

the preset for now: https://sfx.thelazy.net/games/preset/4252/

Not sure what you did Sushi, but I am loving the new preset from June 30. It feels a lot like the original 3.0 but with better color and a lot less blue tint. Kudos on your hard work.

Thanks shafat77 for the quick reply! Remember to go into your tonemap settings, and locate these values:
#define FogColor float3(2.00, 2.00, 0.85)

Increase the 3rd value to something like 1.00, 1.50 may be a good balance for you. Increasing this value blends the colors to look more like vanilla, while still keeping the new color palette.

Hope this helps, thanks for your support!

Gave 3.2 a try. Loving the colors and shadows. However, the good 'ole blue tint is back (could be my monitor though). So right now I am deciding between either turning tonemap off or go back to 3.0 which to me had the perfect blend of colors. Kudos on your hardwork mate. I hope you make a preset for gta 5 someday......

Thanks shafat77 :)

Just released v3.2, you should give it a try.

I think "ultimate" is an understatement for the 3.0 version. This is the best and the most beautiful preset for this game, bar none. Kudos to sushi for the hard work. This preset keeps the overall feeling (color, tone) of the game while enhances it for a vibrant new look. A must have for ppl who wants to fully enjoy this masterpiece of a game.

@gto all previous versions are located on the nexusmods site. Please go there if you want to use v1.2

Somebody have the v1.2 version ?

Sorry for the late reply, yes just turn off tonemap and you're good to go :)

Thank you.

Yet another amazing release for this amazing game by sushi. I was hoping you would redo it on sweetfx and here we are. Looks and feels amazing with the added saturation. However, since I already mentioned I have a new led tv which is blue to begin with. How would I lower the blue tint (turn off tonemap? Thats what you suggested for 1.3). Thanks for you hard work.

Turning of Bordlerless Windowed mode did fix the screen tearing. Thanks!

@CooliSushi I put up v1.3 a few days back in case ya missed it on my mega comparison thread. Thanks! http://www.reddit.com/r/witcher/comments/37en5x/sweetfx_preset_comparisons_part_2/

best one I've found now. This look is awesome. I wish it was a bit bleaker for a darker feel as well as the gloomy bloom feeling your preset gives. great job!! :)

CooliSushi
29 May 23:36 CEST

Thank you shafat77. You can disable that blue tint if you go into your SweetFX_settings.txt and set the "#Define_Tonemap 1" to "0"

This will make the blue go away if your tv already does it.

Hey sushi, loving this preset brother. Excellent job. Kudos! One thing, however. I play this game on a brand new LED tv which already has a blue tint on the white. So using your preset, it makes the image a lot blue that what it actually is. Could you please tell me how I can raise the red value (kinda like the vanilla version)? Thanks in advance

CooliSushi

That is really strange! Maybe that's why there is a weird performance drops for you (combining two mods together = more performance loss)

Again I am using an updated reshade with my mod that doesn't require an install. Using Kputts installation is probably causing issues for you. I didn't know that could happen either, strange.

negru08
29 May 02:26 CEST

Ha interesting, so apparently I have been using your preset but with Kputts Sweetfx files and exes and dlls. It actually made for a pretty great looking image.

These sweetfx things are interesting. If I use Kputts sweetfx preset but keep all the files and take a screenshhot then just load your preset without changing the files and taking a screenshot the two are different. Further interesting is if I completely remove everything(aka fresh install) and use only your files from the download it looks different then vanilla but different then your preset threw kputes files.

SO then those files in the folders are unique to everyone sweetfx preset. I did not know that.

negru08
29 May 01:49 CEST

Ah then yes cause I used Kputts sweetfx befores yours and I followed the instruction guide for it which called to use the exe. So what do I do now? I dont know where the exe would of put any extra files.

negru08
29 May 01:48 CEST

I also notice that when it does seem like it judders or whatever my fps is between 58-59. Maybe its just my eyes catching that slight shift in fps?

CooliSushi
29 May 01:47 CEST

@negru08 did you install the Reshade Setup? It creates files that are not suppose to be in the directory. There is probably a file there messing with it

negru08
29 May 01:43 CEST

How do you remove sweet fx? Like I removed every file I moved to that folder that I could possibly think of. Deleted SweetFX folder, D3D11.dll, D3D11.log, Reshade setup.exe. Reshade32.dll. Sweet.fx but when I start my game I still get that screen message its still active just no presets are present. What file am I missing?

CooliSushi
28 May 23:25 CEST

Also thank you @cvax. Can't wait to see v1.3 featured there.

CooliSushi
28 May 23:24 CEST

@negru08 it could be the bloom I enabled, or it could be the other enabled settings. If you can, would you mind going into the SweetFX_settings.txt file and change #Define_Bloom value to "0"? If that doesn't work, Try deleting the SweetFX_Settings.txt alltogether. I want to know what could be causing it.

negru08

I cant play in boarderless. No matter if triple buffering or Vsync is on I get this terrible screen tear. I always play fullscreen mode. It doesnt bother me so much just I can tell when it hickups. Brief second or two just would like to know what causes it .

CooliSushi
28 May 21:03 CEST

@negru08 and @div-ide this could be an issue with ReShade, it updated a few days ago and I have been using the updated version of Reshade to go with the this preset (this could be the problem)

One thing you should know is, if you're playing in borderless mode, you will get that slow fps problem. I get it as well, but only in borderless mode. Try playing in fullscreen and see if that helps!

negru08
28 May 20:43 CEST

@Div-ide: Is that true? I have noticed here latly that it just doesnt feel smooth to me. Like RTSS shows my fps at 60 and my GPU only utlized 60% but I get very slight bumps where it looks like its not smooth. IS sweetfx causing this? I thought it was the new patch that was causing this.

If you are wondering how this preset looks compared to other presets, see my mega comparisons post here.

http://www.reddit.com/r/witcher/comments/37en5x/sweetfx_preset_comparisons_part_2/

Over 400 screenshots comparing all the major presets in identical scenarios so you can finally get a real apples to apples comparison.

I will add v1.3 to the list soon.

Hey CooliSushi, love the mod -- to me, it looks better than the vanilla game. Thing is, I can't use it.

The mod doesn't play nice with RivaTuner. I use RivaTuner to keep my frametimes steady. Without it, even if Fraps says i'm getting a constant 65 fps, the gameplay isn't smooth. With RT, the the game stays at a perfectly smooth, not-choppy 60fps.

(see: http://www.pcgamer.com/durantes-witcher-3-analysis-the-alchemy-of-smoothness/)

When I enable this mod, it seems to override RivaTuner and even though RT remains activated, my framerate (and more importantly, my frametimes) are jump up and down.

Do you have any idea why this might be the case? Is this unavoidable, or is there a way for me to use this mod and RT together?

Thanks.

Oops just realized this when I updated to version 1.3, I corrected it. Thanks for letting me know. it says 1.1 but its 1.2.

negru08

I downloaded the rar and downloaded the preset but when I view them they both say version 1.1 in the text document?

TheLastWarden do not run the exe file, place it in the folder and enjoy your game.

One final question, for Reshade do I need to actually run the .exe file, or just place it inside my folder. Thanks again for the help.

CooliSushi
27 May 04:02 CEST

Thank you hodi I love the video!! I will add it to both of my preset pages, I appreciate your work, this video truly looks awesome. :)

TheLastWarden, if you already have Reshade installed all you will need is my updated SweetFX txt file. Thanks man!

Love your preset CooliSushi. I've used about 5 from this site, and found yours to be my favorite by far.

Do I need to redownload everything after each update, or just the SweetFX text file?

CooliSushi
25 May 01:10 CEST

Thank you the kind post. I will add an updated tweak that tones down the lighting, while still keeping the colors vibrant if this default is too much for your eyes. It will be posted on the page as a separate download once I finish tweaking it!
