Volumetric Shading is a Vintage Story mod by miclo. Volumetric Shading enhances Vintage Story visuals with volumetric lighting, screen-space reflections, and other rendering tweaks.
Why this mod is worth installing
This mod is for players who want more atmospheric lighting and reflective surfaces without changing the core gameplay. It is especially useful for visual-focused worlds and screenshots.
What Volumetric Shading adds
Volumetric Shading adds volumetric lighting that gives light sources and the surrounding air a stronger sense of depth. This can make scenes feel more dramatic, particularly indoors, underground, or during changing weather and time of day.
It also introduces screen-space reflections and several additional rendering adjustments. These effects can make suitable surfaces appear more reflective while giving the overall image a more polished, cinematic look.
The mod includes an in-game configuration panel opened with Ctrl-C, allowing players to tune its visual effects rather than accepting one fixed presentation. Because it changes rendering, the exact result depends on the player’s hardware and other graphics settings.
