This is a subscene for a lighting rig to simulate caustic lighting, generally for use in underwater environments. Should be pretty simple to use, but there are some caveats. Simply add the CausticLighting subscene to your scene and it should start working out of the box. The trouble starts...

Greetings VAM Community, I've been sitting on these for quite a while now since my last release, but I'm finally getting around to releasing them. These are based on ReShade version 6.6.0, which is the most recent as of posting these, but the last version may also work. Due to Halloween coming...

Hello VAM Community, I hope you have all been doing well since my last release. These are probably some of the most lightweight presets I have made to date, excluding the RT shaders which are totally optional on these unless you want to achieve the look from the pictures. They are all very...

Neon Re-shade Preset I had a little fun making a re-shade preset and thought that I would share it.

As many know the colortone assetbundle can break certain effects in vam and as a work around I've made a lut that attempts to get close to the same effects and then combined that with my favorite existing luts from @BooMoon , @ICannotDie , and @ptrxxx . I'll probably add to this as I make more...

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...

An initial attempt at importing SEGI global illumination into VAM. All credits go to SonicEther. https://github.com/sonicether/SEGI This project hasn't been updated in ages, so I doubt I'll get it to perform better than it currently does. The upside is that it runs on VAM's ancient version of...
