_CP_ Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 (edited) VisualIV is a graphic overhaul modification for Grand Theft Auto IV, bringing you a completely redone time cycle and improved color correction to add some life to Liberty City as well as a fixed rendering code, so your playing experience will be more smooth. There are a lot of other tweaks included, like bigger density of cars and pedestrians on roads, removed depth of field etc. Screens: Implemented percentage-closer soft shadows (PCSS) Fixed z-fighting making depth buffer logarithmic, requires FusionFix ASI script (kudos to Parallellines) Fixed the issue when improper shadow was drawn on water surface or some textures at particular camera angles (kudos to Parallellines) Added soft particles Improved transparency for 2D shadow texture under bikes/cars/helis Removed artificial lights dimming when dynamic shadows are casted Sharpened dynamic shadows Slightly increased shadows draw distance Dimmed shadow texture under vehicles for some artificial lights Increased amount of lighting at very acute angles Restored volumetric light shafts (kudos to Vaani) Fixed disconnected directional shadows (kudos to Parallellines) Fixed shadow offset on water surface Other various shader fixes. 1.9 - https://github.com/robi29/VisualIV/releases/tag/v.1.9_hotfix Older, deprecated versions are available here - http://www.gtagarage.com/mods/show.php?id=7008 Edited September 29, 2023 by _CP_ MythAlex, dualshxk, xNCx and 39 others 40 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flazt3x Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Omg this is too epic!! Thank you so much, i don't know how but this actually increased my fps by almost 10 Also, it looks sooooooooo incredible, now while driving on the highway you can actually reflect the buildings and stuff, so sweet! I hope that you perhaps could coop this mod up with kriller2 when he's releasing his v4 of realistic envirorments. Perhaps ask him in PM or something before he works further on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fischkopf Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I like the new lighting and car reflections but the motion blur is too much^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zybba Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 (edited) Im not sure which mod is my favorite, Enviroment or Visual... I think the best thing in your mod are the car reflections. Also I liked some weather types, especially the foggy... On the other way there were too shiny moments in my opinion. Is it possible to use the Enviroment Mod and your car reflections or is this a big thing which cant be seperated? If it is, which lines in which file I have to change? I know, my english isnt the best. ;-) Edited June 28, 2009 by Zybba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
