new version of my DS2 Graphics Downgrade Reversal Mod which features many more models edited to enable specular maps, fully dynamic lighting with dynamic shadows for the whole world in majula, fofg, heides tower, and things betwixt. absolutely maxing out DS2s engine www.nexusmods.com/darksouls2/m...

a lot of the work is opening the models in flver editor and staring at text like this. gotta edit the xml for almost every ID here while abiding by the syntax, then making countless new specular maps, packing them in DS2's texture files (more xml editing yay), on and on

since i'm busy working on DeS and after that DS1 PTDE (backporting benefits from DSR, a dream mod), I've decided to release my Second Sin pathtracing preset for DS2LightingEngine PT. It covers the base game (minus memories) and the Shulva DLC. The rest is the default preset

The Nexus has been updated for my PC remaster mod of DeS! Lots of surfaces now have a normal map and specular map where before they either were albedo only, or just albedo/normal, or albedo/specular. I expand the albedo/normal/spec supremacy onto more surfaces. www.nexusmods.com/demonssouls/...

recorded a 1 hour video showing how i'm remastering demon's souls OG with tweaks to the pointlights as you can see below (now affects whole environment, not just objects), armor rendering upgrades, many new normal maps used, specular maps, and more. I'm so excited to work on it!

new beta of my Second Sin PT preset (powered by DS2LightingEngine Pathtracing) is live for my patrons, who get early access to it as I tinker away on it. They can give feedback if they want, but some just want to goof around with it. Covers most of base game and shulva now

i always get the random itch to boot up og demon's souls up and make a new reshade preset for it. includes TAA, amd's CAS, lumenite large scale RT ambient occlusion, small levels edit, tiny tonemap which defogs the color blue just a smidge. game is gorgeous regardless tho

another wip huntsman's copse pic from my second sin preset reboot. i placed a billion trees to replace the billboard ones that were static, so these ones sway in the wind. Plus i'm going for a pretty contrast heavy look and anchored by the beautiful green portion of the skybox

My goal this year is to get my monthly patreon earnings up to $1000 per month. I've been blessed with the support I've gotten so far, but I plan to finish out the year strong with a higher quality bar for my mods (easy, i know) and more benefits for my patrons!

Morrowind in 2026 is kinda crazy looking. This is running OpenMW + a tiny reshade that adds large scale raytraced ambient occlusion. that's it. OpenMW is doing the heavy lifting & replaces Morrowind's rendering engine with a highly efficient OpenGL one made specifically for it.

dark souls 2 now has pathtracing thanks to DS2LightingEngine's new pathtracing version! I made a video showing how to install it, and also a quick look at the pathtracing version of my Second Sin mod/preset, as well youtu.be/J5oax-iNgOY

put out my reshade for the mass effect trilogy, which includes stochastic screenspace reflections via the lumenite shader (and configured by me), some large scale RTAO, and a tiny tonemap. Main thing is the SSSR. Looks SO good in Mass Effect. www.nexusmods.com/masseffectle...

i've been helping test the editor features for the private beta pathtracing version of @dslightingengine.bsky.social so what you see here is 4 WIP pics from the PT version of my Second Sin mod. PT allows me to fulfill the dream of a fully dynamically-lit Drangleic with no compromises at all

Finally got my Bloodborne PC Remaster to version 1.0. No mod is ever perfect but i'm really happy with this one. As a refresher, it brings dynamic shadows for everything, higher res textures, parallax occlusion mapping, better AA, DoF, SSAO, edits lightmaps, www.nexusmods.com/bloodborne/m...

put out a new a brand spankin new version of my pc remaster mod of bloodborne. restores all the original reflectance maps (i modified all of them ages ago, and it's a whole thing, don't worry about it), reduced the SSAO for each map (I had it set too high) www.nexusmods.com/bloodborne/m...

just put out patch 0.99.6 of my Bloodborne PC Remaster mod and this update focuses on improving the anti aliasing (swapped to unused AA method), SSAO (less noisy), and DoF (higher quality blur). tweaks to dynamic shadows, too. bug fixes, more material work, etc www.nexusmods.com/bloodborne/m...

fromsoftserve @fromsoftserve.bsky.social · 12/03/2026

released a new patch for my Bloodborne PC remaster mod that re-enables the built-in anti aliasing and improving it. Plus, re-enables the built in Depth of Field. So, reshade is no longer needed by default, since AA can be disabled via the shadps4 patch menu now www.nexusmods.com/bloodborne/m...
