Shader I made for Witcher 3. This shader handles contrast, brightness, saturation and sharpening which distorts it.

Content introduction:

This is a shader for Witcher 3. I started by trying to restore the sharpening the game had during the demo. I wasn't happy with how the blanket was sharpening everything, so I made it sharpen the center of the screen, like an inverted vignette.

It's similar to how Adobe does it in Photoshop, with extensions similar to SweetFX's LumaSharpen. I actually used some LumaSharpen texture extraction methods to sharpen mine, I will also add the Gaussian sharpening I used in Unreal later.

The nice thing about the way I applied sharpening is that it misses most of the game's main UI, so it's not intrusive.

Shaders can also implement contrast, brightness and saturation. The shader should have some knowledge of the resource and I noticed nothing causing issues during profiling.

Install:

  • Download the compressed package
  • Unzip the file
  • Copy the files to the MODS folder
  • Run the game

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
