Modder Essenthy has released a new version for his amazing lighting mod for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Super Turbo Lighting Mod. This mod increases view distance, changes the lighting in major zones (these changes have been made via the game’s modding tools and not via a SweetFX/Reshade), tweaks water reflection and reduces fog.
Here are the key features of this mod:
- tweaked IGNI particles and colors ( you have to invest points in igni talents for this work )
- lighting change for every major zone
- increased view distance
- streamlined lighting between cut scenes and normal global lighting
- streamlined lighting between in-door/caves and normal global lighting
- fog reduction
- high quality AO for normal exploration lighting
- tweaked some FX particles
- tweaked water reflection
Those interested can download it from here.
Enjoy!

compared to frostbite engine lighting this looks like n64
Still salty about your 680 not being able to handle this game on max. Get over it pal.
But… but it’s a MONSTER PC 4 GTA:V, best game evar!
LMAO
it can but if the devs are to lazy to optimized…idk pirate witcher 3 ftw (console ports)
Guess what game is GOTY 2015?
Bloodborne
Pillars of Eternity? Oh, no wait, it’s The Age of Decadence! Or maybe UnderRail? It will come out within a week.
Everyone has its own GOTY, pal.
Like some of their opinions matter, especially the ones who liked Undertail.
Opinions of critics who gave Derpout 4 / Curvak 3 10/10 doesn’t matter to me either.
>Undertail
?_?
News flash: Everyone has a different opinion on what the GOTY was. Yes, even thought it won GOTY at a crap awards show it wasn’t GOTY for many
Battlefield 4
I still don’t see it. Anyone can get that kind of feel and vibrance with color profiles from Asus and Dell.
unrealistic burned colors
Do something like this yourself or STFU, try to respect people who put time and effort in modding and that is without any cost.
Doesn’t look better than the original to me. Especially the daytime setting seems to make characters look like plastic.
Mods like these are useless to me without some comparison shots.
This might be the one time those jokes about Capcom’s run-on naming for the Street Fighter series might actually be appropriate without being tired.
Side by side comparisos/screenshot comparisons or GTFO.
MAN! All these W3 light mods always comes without a proper comparison… F that!
This is the only light mod for TW3. The others are just sweetFX or reshade bullshit.
I don’t think so…
Tree and leaves mod retexture announced…just waiting for it…!

I started a new game with it and…it certainly looks different than vanilla. Weathers have a pink tint to them and lighting is more intense in general. It also cause neck seams issues.
Just looks like he tweaked the intensity of the color.

oh man! and i thought the ign board were fill with a bunch of negative ninnies. hey guess what!?! its just a mod! done by somebody who isn’t charging people money to use it, or is in cahoots with CDPR to screw you out of some great experience just cause you all have the console version. the mod is like what? 256kb!?! why don’t you upgrade your 14.4 modems and download it to see for yourselves, don’t like it? still madz u got screwed over by 2014 E3 vertical slice, go seek professional help. i guess its like the old says goes ‘haters gonna hate, trollers gonna troll!’ IMO, mod is not that much different than its previous version while using reshade/sweetfx with it, but its still miles better than vanilla and at least somebody is out there trying to do something about it, god damn!
the water is messed up dude what have you done???? the original was better
also why make fog reduction ? LMAO
Wow. Sometimes it looks really good, sometimes not.
well…its a shame so…i wante tree and bushes retexture…lets hope someone wanting to mod those!
