DB’s Smooth Shaders
A new Shader overhaul pack! This one aims to add a nice smooth shaded look to the game.
This mod comes with 3 Rimlight versions to choose from, 100% Rimlight, 50% rimlight, and 0% rimlight, each with a version that gives characters thicker outlines. Just choose the version you want based on the screenshots above.
What this isn't:Â A Reshade preset or a reshading texture pack that edits DYTs.
What this is:Â A mod that edits and replaces the actual pixel shaders used by the game.
This mod doesn't edit any character files or textures at all, but the shaders used by the game instead! Because I edited the very pixel shaders the game uses to render characters, this mod should work fine on almost every character and clothing mod made for xv2! (I can't guarentee it'll look nice on mods that use shading that strays away from the vanilla game's style though..)
Another nice thing about editing the shaders directly is unlike a reshade preset there isn't any kind of performance impact at all! Your game will run the same as it did before.
Open the Installer exe and follow the instructions.

1.1 - Fixed glowing/glare materials not working, such as supervillain eyes.

Using both Revamp 5.0 and the newest version of this mod and it just doesn’t work, smooth shaders causes my game to insta-crash at the opening menu and I have to reinstall revamp
Report
nvm
Report
what did u do to fix? im having the same problem
Report
you ever figure out a fix yourself?
Report
Revamp and smooth shaders just works together with no extra setup. Usually people who crash have an outdated version. Try redownloading
Report
I’m not even joking I have the same exact issue, even if I uninstall the smooth shaders mod it still insta-crashes.
Report
Alittle less thick outlines would be perfect
Report
Beautiful thank you the new functionality is incredible plus revamp is even better
Report
I don’t see any of the new Outline options. Did you upload the wrong file on accident?
Report
yeah i dont see them either, mustve uploaded wrong file
Report
I did, I’ve since fixed it
Report
Yeah my bad, I fixed it.
Report
works great with revamp! any chance you’ll update cel shaders 1 and 2?
Report
sad that this mod doesnt work with the newest version of revamp
Report
it works fine on revamp. you probably have an old version. download the new version
Report
yah thats on me fs
Report
Hi, would it be possible to add a no outline version in this installer?
Whenever I install the outline remover, it breaks the Ultra Supervillain characters model.
Would be nice if you can include that as well whenever you have time.
Report
hey there, sorry to bother, just here to ask if is there someone who can relate to the mod installing for good but then not being any visible differences on the models, I’ve tried to get other mods out of the way but even when being the only mod installed it doesn’t work for me, any idea? the same issue happens with “Character Ouline Removal” (https://videogamemods.com/xenoverse/mods/character-outline-removal/) too
Report
Nevermind, in some way, I managed to make it work for me, therefore here I state, freakin’ cool shader mate, cheers!
Report
How did you fix that bug? I have a issue similar to it where the Ultra Super Villainous characters (SSR Goku Black and SSG Vegeta specifically) have basically this issue where the rig and animations are there but outline is bugged same for the faces and hair, along with the model being white and t-posing through the ground
Report
If its the same issue I had then turn off enhanced graphics
Report
Understood I will give it a shot
Report
Will this be updated eventually? Or are there any alternatives where you dont have to download reshade like this one
Report
breaks the ultra supervillain characters, rip
Report
can i use revamp with this mod ?
Report
can i use https://videogamemods.com/xenoverse/mods/revamp-xenoverse-2-project-complete-edition-compatibility-update/ with this mod?
Report
nvm it does SICK!! i love the way it looks thank you for making this awesome mod
Report
Can you please make a picture comparing the 2 Cel-Shader types?
Report
The villainous characters crash the game with this. Uninstalling prevents the crashing. Any chance for a fix?
Report
edit: crashes with AbyssWalkers Revamp auras
Report
what is this “+outline” from the x2m file?
Report
Can you do the samething but with tech noirs like this https://videogamemods.com/xenoverse/mods/tech-noirs-cel-shade-overhaul-x2m/
Report
just use the cel shading type 1 rimlight off
Report
i like how this reminds of Raging Blast 2 graphics, but i even prefer this one more
Report
it works with all mods like revamp?
Report
As it clearly states in the description: Yes.
Report
Could you do another Cell Shading type mod as changes all mods regardless of how well Revamp, Fighter Z, Kakarot, H graphics, anime-style to Base game’s Vanilla please?
Report
This shader is absolutely beautiful !
Report
Can you remove the golden glow that appears on Beerus and Champa when they teleport?
Report
Dude this works perfect like H-Graphics all over the roster and all mods, i like it.
Can you do a Kakarot shader style with this method too?
