NEON GENESIS Atacama - semi-stylized lighting mod for 2.0 and Phantom Liberty

NEON GENESIS is a mod of lighting created after version 2.0 (with support for Phantom Liberty) and focused on general vibration and style - a more kitschy vision, if you like. Includes physically accurate bloom, perfect exposure (simulated light measurement), higher precision and color range, stylized atmosphere and more!

Like any other mod I like, download all the screenshots and videos you want! I don't need to look through them, and I would appreciate it if you could post something (anything!) that you found cool, made with NEON GENESIS!

DISCLAIMER: NEON GENESIS is designed for calibrated gamma settings. Without this (gamma 1.0) you can get a blurry and low contrast look. Screenshots were taken at gamma 1.1. The in-game calibration texture is not optimal. It is best to find a dark place with a nearby light source to compare with it and adjust the contrast to your taste, but do not overdo it. The recommended interval is 0.9 to 1.15. Any low/high contrast messages are likely to be accompanied by a suggestion to change the gamma settings, so be careful!

NOTE About HDR.: NEON GENESIS supports it in part. I don't have an HDR. monitor for testing, and my HDR. TV is pretty bad and gives out only 200 nits. Contrast can be a problem if it is, please open the report and let me know your in-game HDR. settings, and try the HDR. settings below.

Recommended HDR. Settings

Maximum brightness: 1000 nits

Midpoint: 1.0

Extended color range, especially in red shades, thanks to LUT replacement. Also applies to Dogtown if Phantom Liberty is installed.

The atmosphere of the original game is preserved, so do not worry that it will change the overall feeling of the game.

More atmospheric fog system and redesigned long-range glow (light poles).

Remastered clouds and weather probabilities for cloudy weather (NEW!)

Hyper's atmospheric, you have to play with it. It is also shown in screenshots.

Precise Sky Color

Deep, blue dawn and natural early morning, sunrise, sunset and twilight.

Extended chromatic aberration, more like barrel dystorsia (NEW!)

It doesn't come in pictures, you have to play with it.

Higher quality, less noisy film grit, simulating negative film Kodak VISION3 250D (NEW!)

There's no more strange noise on everything, it's very thin.

Higher saturation and more poignant/saturated raster light.

Redesigned global lighting and ambient occlusion (NEW!)

A realistic system of glare and vignettes, both greatly softened.

You can read more about the glare on the lens in the corresponding article.
