Wow this looks phenomenal, it maintains the colour palette and theme of the game so well, I can't wait to start my playthrough with this now that multiplayer is back online!
Absolutely beautiful! I always thought DS3 had the potential to look so much more beautiful but ended up just looking dull and grey. I get they were trying a _dead and dying world_ kinda esthetic but the execution made them game look dull and boring. This lighting mod really shows the true potential DS3 has. And keeps the same theme and colour pallet too!
@@goenyamin8468 looking good doesn't necessarily mean needing more processing power. DS2 looks amazing and yet runs on the Xbox 360 and PS3 with little issue. Also, I don't think DS3 was on PS3, it came out in 2016 it was made for PS4, Xbox One, and windows.
I've been hesitant on installing reshade for a while because I could never find a solid answer on whether or not it would trigger a ban if I tried to play online with it. This preset is making me really consider taking the risk.
@@MrKitty707 but with a new acc. I‘ve once tried a „hack“ to just be able to spawn items (swords, armors etc.) and I got soft banned for that for about a week, after that week I was again able to play online
I apologise for the 1080p quality, youtube takes forever to process 1440p so that should be available by tomorrow. The mod will be available for download as soon as Nexus Mods is back online.
@@graham4385 Not really. DS1 had terrible keyboard and mouse support but that's not true for the other games. Using a KB+mouse in DS3 pvp comes with the advantage of being able to hard swap in the middle of a fight more easily and playing withou lock-on is also easier.
It looked different for me. Did you have in game brightness all the way up? I could barely see anything and it didn't look as good. Maybe I did something wrong or it doesn't work too well with the current reshade update.
If you mean the dark areas, that's completely intentional. Areas massive areas lit by 5 candles are supposed to be dark. I also wanted to make the torch useful as a source of light in the indoor areas with little to no light sources. You are not supposed to be able to see shit when you are indoors with no or very small and few light sources.
the tonemap is not very good imo, that sort of messes up all the rest of the mod, its too high contrast, its like when amateurs work on hdr3 footage and just crush the shit out of it
That's in the editing software. Record footage with reshade off, then with reshade on, and finally just make it transition between them with the slide transition. This is not something you can do in reshade itself.
@@nicolasapocryphos6696 There is enough contrast. What you're calling "contrast" is just the black and white levels. I wanted areas which are not lit directly by a light source to actually be dark because it makes 0 sense for huge areas lit only by a couple of candles to have so much light in them. This basically makes the torch useful as a source of light in some areas.
@@doompenguin7453 This effect is made for practicality as a hub shouldn't require a torch to find npcs, besides, it's made with actual lighting. Now, you've made areas lit by sunlight have very hard shadows everywhere, shadows that should otherwise be in indirect sunlight and subtle, on top of that colors are overly saturated, which does not help
@@nicolasapocryphos6696 Are you sure you installed the preset correctly? I don't see any "harsh shadows" or a lot of saturation anywhere. The difference in saturation between vanilla and my preset is minimal. I have been told that this preset doesn't really work well with the latest ReShade, so try running it with ReShade 4.9.1, which is the version I used to make it. You also don't need a torch to find NPCs in the hub area. It's darker than the vanilla game, but everything is still clearly visible.
I have a 3070ti, and this mod really reeeeally looks like ass. Too dark, too blurry and deaph of field is broken. Maybe I'm missing some important settings, but following the tutorial, as it is, it looks terrible.
make sure all the shaders are enabled and the LUT is active. Most of preset is the LUT, so if it is not active, the mod will look bad. Go the the LUT tools effect and make sure the path to the LUT is correct.
@@doompenguin7453 yes, it was, just as instructed, both HDR On/Off the problem precist, worst with hdr on as everything gets glared. I think the issue is how 'dark' every shadow is, is not so much a shadow, but a área in which everythink is covered in darkness, is very overwhelming and weird to look at. Also the deaph of field is terrible. Something I noticed when you look somewhere further, is there is a very sharp 'half way fog of deaph, like if in the middle it tried to do the same was suppose to happen in the farthest point. I already unisntalled it as I'm trying different stuff. If you want me to intensively test it I can do a list of things I think needs tweeking for a more natural look.
@@CookieMonster-gg1ks No need, I already have a preset I'm happy with. If you don't like it or it doesn't work properly for you, then it is what it is.

1. There is no vignette effect in this preset and I only use black and white levels so that areas where there are no light sources are actually dark and not lit by some mysterious invisible light sources. 2. The image has more contrast than vanilla, not more saturation. Go to the eye doctor and check your eyes if you think this is oversaturated. 3. I never posted this on Reddit.

The way the light diffuses reminds me so much of walking through undead burg for the first time
Lighting is enough to make a game look beautiful 👌
对比度的加深解决了原本画面偏灰的问题，同时细节也更好的得到了保留，非常棒！！
I always like me some graphic enhancing mods.
Great job man. The colour pallet is too good

I have 400 hours in the game with reshade and I'm not banned so I'm pretty sure it's safe.
@@doompenguin7453 I see. Well I guess I can give it a try, and if I get banned at least Elden Ring is around the corner.
@@Trilasent if you get banned just make a new steam account and family share it with your main, then you can play ds3 again online

This looks very very good i'll give it a try when i will replay DS3 :)
No more soft and smooth, this is rough Souls now
Finally another DOOMTuber posting SoulsBorne content lol
Looks good, I prefer just amping the monitor to 85 saturation and upping the gamma lol. Same effect without losing fps
awesome content!!
very beautifullllll. also what's the name of the bgm?
Well done. I'm going to game on Linux soon
this makes me want to get ds3 even more. do you play it with a controller or keyboard?
Controller.
Dark Souls is pretty much required to be played with a controller!
@@graham4385 yep that's the only reason I haven't bought it yet

Better with mouse+keyboard. Easy to control wild DS3 camera
It looked different for me. Did you have in game brightness all the way up? I could barely see anything and it didn't look as good. Maybe I did something wrong or it doesn't work too well with the current reshade update.
I had my brightness set to 8.
Not being able to see shit is not necessarily a graphic enhancement for me.

How can I do to see all the necessary adjustments to make it look like in the video
What setting(s) did u use to make things in the distance look a bit blurry?
I just use one of the DOF effects.
the tonemap is not very good imo, that sort of messes up all the rest of the mod, its too high contrast, its like when amateurs work on hdr3 footage and just crush the shit out of it
Make a video installing it
is there a framedrop??
is there a tutorial???
My game menu is now dark and illegible too. Is that normal?
No, the menu should not look like that.
@@doompenguin7453 mine is black too, doesnt work
@@Jackson-sr4fk Use ReShade 4.9
What settings are these?
I also use re-shade. When turning on and off effects, how do you make that slide thing happen I can't find how to do it
That's in the editing software. Record footage with reshade off, then with reshade on, and finally just make it transition between them with the slide transition. This is not something you can do in reshade itself.
increasing contrast isn't a graphical mod
Sure, open reshade and increase the contrast, see if you get the same result.
@@doompenguin7453 Yea you added bloom, depth of field and so forth. Point is, there's way too much contrast

is it safe playing online with it ?
