XV2 Smooth Shaders - Release (Free)

Current version: 3.1.0

A new Shader overhaul pack! This one aims to add a nice smooth shaded look to the game.

This mod comes with 5 Rimlight versions to choose from: Full, Half, Vanilla+ Full, Vanilla+ Half, and Disabled.
This pack also comes with brand new custom made shaders to allow for more unique characters mods.
These include things like Tri and Quad color materials, animated scrolling decals, and applying normal maps!

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.
