Modder Razed has released an Early Access version of NaturalVision Evolved for Grand Theft Auto 5. In order to showcase this Early Access version, the modder has also released a in-game video that you can find below.
NaturalVision Evolved is a work-in-progress visual overhaul mod that features numerous changes. This mod aims to improve the environmental weathers, lighting system, ambient colors, and tonemapping. It will also enhance world textures, building models and more.
Now what’s really interesting here is that the mod introduces screen-space ray traced global illumination. Or at least that’s what the modder claims. Furthermore, it will have improved screen-space reflections, better building reflections and new emissive lights.
To be honest, NaturalVision Evolved looks great. However, this Early Access version is behind a Patreon wall. As such, we strongly suggest waiting until the final/public version comes out.
Enjoy!

I have to say, 99% of the time these graphics mods (especially for GTA games) look like utter trash. But I guess this is the exception, looks truly gorgeous.
This guy has a long history of making GTA mods, he was responsible for the best lighting mods and ENBs pretty much.
He’s working full time on this.
This is a real modification of the game/engine, no Reshade involved.
the quality of the video edition is way avobe any major publishers, really impresed.
And the mod look great!
These guys know how to trailer.
Modders: see how nice the grass reflects the environment?
We: but natural grass doesn’t reflec…
Modders: GRASS. REFLECTING. THE. ENVIRONMENT.
Modders are worse than developers when it comes to BULLSHOTS! I don’t know who they think they are fooling.
You need to go outside and see how reality works man… LOL.
Looks impressive.
damn that was a really well made trailer. well done!
I could never get in to GTA V. This makes it worth another go.
Even if you don’t like the gameplay or story, which I could understand, at least, you can still have fun just wandering around in beautiful environments.
It’s like a walking/driving/flying simulator. ?
I remember back in 2002, sometimes I was just playing GTA3 to drive aimlessly around the city while listening to the radios.?
The trailer is perfectly edited
0/10 not enough reflections
If its screen spaced it’s not really Ray Traced , John.
Its ray-marched to be more accurate…its based on the lights in screen space.
Looks awesome!
How about a round of applause for that trailer, EXCELLENT EDITING and choice of shots! That requires certain talent and experience that AAA companies lack!
Super professional trailer.
ya but that trailer right???
