CAELUM - The Ultimate Visual Portfolio

Caelum is a visual portfolio that uses graphics tools like Nvidia AI Game Filters and Personal Reshade to bring better visuals to Elden's Ring, bringing it as close as possible to the graphical fidelity and aesthetics of Demon's Souls PS5 and other next-gen games.

CAELUM - The Ultimate Visual Portfolio

If you're like me and want to play Elden's Circle in a more realistic visual aesthetic, with more immersive graphics, and have a good device that can handle these enhancement mods, then this graphics preset I created will satisfy your needs.

What is CAELUM?

Caelum is a Reshade preset that has been developed and tested for nearly a year and is designed to achieve the closest look to other next-gen games like Demon's Souls PS5 without having to use very resource-intensive options like ray tracing. The goal is to provide the best balance between visuals and performance.

Not only that, but I also created this preset to work with my Nvidia AI filter settings through the Nvidia app. The final combination of tools (Reshade and Nvidia app) provides very pleasing visual effects!

Default version

There are three versions of my Caelum preset:

🔹 Low configuration version

• No ambient occlusion, depth of field or additional object clarity and lighting effects
• Performance impact: 5-8 frames

🔹 Medium version

• Includes ambient occlusion, but no depth of field, object clarity and other lighting effects
• Performance impact: 8-10 frames

🔹 High-end version

• Contains all effects, is the most beautiful preset, and is also the most expensive in terms of performance
• Performance impact: 10-14 frames
• 💥** Performance consumption is large but the effect is excellent! **

Visual enhancements

🎨 Color tone adjustment

No more special tints, making color gradients and contrasts more natural.

**Hue On**

**Hue Off**

🌙 Darker Night

The nights in Elden's Circle don't seem dark enough, possibly due to the golden tree or the game engine itself. Nights are now appropriately dark and more immersive, giving you greater use for your torch or personal lamp and creating a spookier atmosphere for dungeons and caves.

💡 Lighting improvements

Adjustments have been made to lights, flames, overall glow, exposure, and the colors of campfires and candles to bring them closer to a cinematic look.

🌳 More ambient occlusion

• Ask: "How much do you want to add?"

A: "All!"

• But not too exaggerated

While not a requirement for my presets to work, using *nullfractal*'s "Neutral Color Grading" mod is highly recommended so that the final look will be exactly the same as the previously shown image.
