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 4 Rimlight versions to choose from: Increased, Normal, Reduced, and Disabled. 5 Outline shader edits are also included: Normal, Outer Only, Thicker, Thick outer, and Disabled.
What this isn't: A Reshade preset or a texture pack that edits character colors (DYTs).
What this is: 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 guarantee 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.

This mod is sweet. I personally prefer the Normal rim lighting and Normal outlines, but even just that and the new smoother shading makes everything look so much nicer. The high quality of the models really pops, but it’s also not such a dramatic style shift that things look weird to me.
I especially love how it makes everything look more consistent with the Super Hero and Daima Goku models looking a bit different from the rest of the cast with default lighting. This fixes that!

Open the application for the x2m again (the same thing you used to install). Then just click to uninstall when it asks you to reinstall or uninstall

All the characters are walking flashbangs, update required.

It works totally fine for me. Not sure what the issue is on your end. Did you select a specific setting that makes things look weird? Are you using any others mods that might conflict with this one? There has to be something on your end

Gotta update again, characters are walking flash bangs with how bright they are

Any Chance you could add a download option for the previous version too? The current version doesn’t work with Revamp, characters are just black silhouettes.
