Ultra foggy steam smoke and bloom... Better and more immersive cyberpunk

Ultra Fog is designed to work with alternative weather visualizations, but you can also use these mods separately.

This mod is WIP. There will be problems, but people keep asking me about it, so he's back 😊.

The goal of this fashion is to make CP more holistic and realistic (in my opinion) by correcting too bright fog, vapor, cigarettes, cigars, vapor/smoke machines, grenades and other particle effects by ray tracing and path tracing. I adjusted it to make it behave more like a real mist. Namely:

The fog has become less dense (50% opacity). It may still become very foggy, but now it is not "always very foggy or clear" with a small gap between them.

Increased cloud scattering. This makes the sky much more influential on the overall scene during the day and in certain weather conditions. I love the way it looks in Cyberpunk

Reducing the brightness of many effects of steam, smoke, cigarettes, exhaust gases, etc. to intermediate to better match the scene, but it depends on the situation. For example, in the car with Dex (the prick), the smoke is cinematic, so I left it strong (but adjusted). But the steam from food, air conditioning and cars is no longer incredibly strong... But liquid nitrogen cooling is still strong. I've reached out to a lot of IRL scenes to try and get them right.

Corrected the bloom so it wasn't so crazy. I understand that bloom is a mood, but many lighting / LUT modes that we use now, do not look very well with a huge bloom (again, imo... I get a certain feeling.)

Decreases the brightness of vehicle exhaust

Cigarette smoke diminished

Drugs and inhalers dimmed

Reduced the brightness of grenades and the effects of toxic gases

Increased some spark effects

Increased number of particles in some effects and improved variability of particle effects

Make the dust from some destructible objects less bright

Some types of distance fog are dimmed.

There are a lot of files to edit, so write in messages if you notice a strange pair (until touched by black smoke, but, again, write if you find something that needs to be fixed). As always, please let me know about any feedback in 😊 messages.

How to install

Use the mod manager or copy the archive file to /archive/pc/mod (there is only one version now, as CP 2.1 no longer uses rays)

Ultra Fog must be loaded first to get the full effect, so it starts with "!!!".

Play! 😊

Compatibility

Ultra Fog modifies env files and is designed to overlap other major ENV mods, however, if you don't like it, rename it so that it starts with ZZ to load after them, and it will still apply smoke/steam/etc changes.
