Dark Souls 2 with ONLY Dynamic Shadows

[@DravenxEyeless]

"I live my life based on DYNAMIC SHADOWS" should be on a t-shirt

[@DravenxEyeless]

I'm also loving this. I wish there was a quicker way to "select" pieces of the geometry, like holding left click and selecting big portions of stuff

[@XDarkGreyX]

I have a shadow, therefore I am dynamic.

[@Funkx2g]

I would probably buy that ngl. I mean, IF fromsoftserve signs them, I'm buying !!

[@mesamesamesa1277]

"I paused my game just to be here" type shit

[@adammack9744]

your dedication to cracking open DS2 is incredible, impressive work as always

[@harmonygarcia333]

i love that ur working on ds2 so much, i feel like there is so much potential for it

[@Suhrvivor]

Hey I'm on the middle of platinuming vanilla DS2 and your remastered mod makes the journey a much better experience. Thanks for sharing your amazing work!

[@milobanilo]

this pleases the brain

[@Funkx2g]

My eyes and ears also

[@Kestila]

the process of adding shadows in LE looks therapeutic

[@zaidlacksalastname4905]

Wonder how dark areas like no man's wharf or the castle would work

[@KDZen]

Got a big forehead kiss for you if you drop this

[@Contoons]

Keep it up man, I really appreciate you bringing light to all the work you and other creators do to the Souls community. Praise the sun!

[@TheNovaWollf]

Yes please more ds2 modding

[@fronatomy6280]

Goddamn, Tower of Heide looking like a gorgeous screensaver wtf.

Majula Oblongata 🧠

[@slameno-JR]

I love getting fromsoftserved😩

7:44 "Frustum." Only one R.

[@Perkustin]

I'm glad your recent DS2 vids have come on my recommended, thanks. I would love to know what it is about Dark Souls 2 that looks so fucking C R I S P. Majula is still the best looking thing Fromsoft have ever created, let alone environment. If only they had more time to polish the rest of the environments, so many are just so obviously unfinished, i'd say only Heides is 100% finished, aside from Majula.

[@tomschlaiss5735]

Nice work, looks great, cheers from Germany

[@limpa756]

Mclovins been busy

i play dark souls 2 on a crt on the playstation 3 using composite cables from the ps2, seeing the game like this is craaaazy lol

[@8wrath8child8]

Now if only you can make greatswords not float above the characters shoulders and it’ll be 10/10

[@phil3extranumbers]

I've always wanted to like DS2LE, and I do some of the changes like volumetrics are just great, but some of the artistic changes always just irked me a bit too much, especially areas like dragons aerie and things betwixt. I tried trying to vanilla-ify things betwixt on my own since its a fairly small area and well I'm not a modder so I went kinda insane near the end. Something like this that just goes through the entire game adding in dynamic shadows and sticking with the original look of the game whilst being enhanced with all the LE goodness is really just great to look at. Always great seeing what you do next.

[@VERsingthegamez]

How would you use your ds2 preset for LE and BOTC together? I tried getting rid of the filter folder in the mod and tweaking around the settings, but it still doesn't look nearly as good as the botc filter.

[@TheSyntheticSnake]

I imagine there needs to be a custom preset at this point to fully integrate the two

[@lotion5238]

I think part of what made the Demon Souls remake look so much more premium was the nice lighting. Cool to see dynamic shadows in DS2, it was probably the most lacking part of the game as I always felt everything else was fine except the lighting (animations and textures) Is there prebaked AO also? I feel like it might cut off a lot of the overhead power requirements.

[@Пэтру]

Textures look flat and plasticy, is there reflection maps or specular on rocks or walls ?

[@MLWJ1993]

There is, although apparently there's a bunch of models that lack some of the materials (which is not exclusive to just DS2).

[@PYRO.1]

why enemies don't have shadows?

[@676ida3]

Because they're enemies , they don't deserve the shadows

[@fromsoftserve]

Oh I think I had the built in dynamic shadows disabled by accident lol. Oops!

[@greenscreenfx3117]

is there a way to add dynamic shadows to a bunch of stuff without the tedium of doing it manually?

[@Insanabiliter_In_Linea]

Is it possible to just hold Ctrl and click on multiple objects so they're all selected and you can just enable shadows on a batch of models at a time? I haven't messed with this version of DSLE so I figure there's like a 50/50 chance it'll either let you do that or it won't because they all have different settings applied, but in a lot of similar programs it does work like that and just applies the settings you've changed to all the selected objects. Looks awesome as usual though!

[@Decadent_Descent]

Can you add dynamic shadows to the enemy AI? They're severely lacking.

[@caputninho]

nice bro hey When you are going to make a mod to have all the maps at night ? It would be very cool

[@yl1045]

So these dynamic shadows changes will be added to the mod in future and in which mod bearer of the curse or lightning engine itself ?

[@fromsoftserve]

So this would be it’s own mod that should be largely compatible with BotC but might miss some extra map pieces it adds

[@bunchacolors1501]

So, you did all this in DS Maps, right? Just for clarity, I think you might have mentioned something about the DS Maps there

[@MakenziAtlantis]

Is this original ds2 or scholar of the first sin

[@fromsoftserve]

Scholar!

[@chaoticgoodest]

I've not had the urge to replay DS2 in damn near a decade but if I could play it with full dynamic shadows, I would immediately reinstall it. Would be amazing if we could get the whole game to look like the pre-release version of the game. Too bad we don't have any details about all the lighting-related gameplay mechanics that were supposedly taken out of the game. Though those might have been scrapped before they could even be implemented.
