Hello VaM Community,

I am back once again to share with you all my latest preset. I always think I'm done and I can't do anymore but I always find something I can change. I went back to the drawing board and used the foundation of my Cellshade preset I included in my original guide which it still shares some similarities with. Like that preset, this one originally had more chromatic effects, but I toned them down in the later build. If you don't like the slight outlines around characters, you should be able to remove the comic and shading shaders without messing up the other shaders.

Performance is pretty good compared to my other presets since this one doesn't rely on any heavy rtgi. There are still quite a few shaders so it's still not as clean as vanilla. I have also included the Lut and fake GI shaders as I don't believe they are included in the recent ReShade versions by default and are pretty important for this preset as without them the colors don't match base VaM as well. I have tuned the shaders to keep the colors as close as possible to base VaM but some skin tones aren't perfect unfortunately, especially darker ones.

I have saved certain numpad keys to different shaders that I sometimes turn off based on the scene so you can play around with those. I was trying to add a Sketch mode to this preset, which you can activate with numpad 6, but keep in mind it is experimental so I might be able to improve it in the future.
