NaturalVision Enhanced marks 13 years of GTA V

On the day the original Grand Theft Auto V turns 13, mod author Razed has shipped a new build of NaturalVision Enhanced. The pack is Enhanced-only, and it is aimed at the picture, not at online rules.

The list includes denser ray-traced light: more bounces, a ray-traced sky, revised car materials and lighting, contact shadows and SSAO. Water and underwater scenes gain depth, rain ripple and subsurface scattering. Road signs become retroreflective, the moon gets phases and a real share of the night light, and emergency lights now cast shadows and catch on gloss.

Further down are a softer bloom with a switch between a fast mode and a full-quality mode, character lighting, parallax on asphalt and ground, volumetric clouds that show up in reflections, and heat haze over Blaine County roads and Los Santos buildings in the middle of the day. Street lighting moves to a more physical model with a smooth falloff, and distant LOD lights are refreshed across the map. HDR support is included.
