Visual Paradise V23/02/23

Information:

This mod restores various graphics elements from the original release of the game on PS3 and X360.

Main changes:

– Weathers.
– Lens flare, lightning, light pollution, clouds and other miscellaneous visual settings.
– Textures of bokeh, damage effect, flares (animorphic, artefact, chromatic, corona) and water foam.
– Snapmatic filters.
– Clouds (cloudy and stormy).

Optionals:

– Additional Rockstar Editor Filters: this optional adds the Snapmatic filters to the “Effects” submenu of the Rockstar Editor.
– Alternative Lens Flare: this optional changes the color of two flare animorphics from yellow to blue.
– No Fog Volumes: this optional removes the fog volumes placed around the map. Note: this optional is unnecessary if the “Shader quality” setting is set to normal or high.
– No HUD Blur: this optional removes the DoF/screen blur from the character, radio and weapon wheels.
– No Lens Artefacts: this optional disables the blue lens artefacts that are rendered with the PostFX quality set to Very High/Ultra.
