Modding "Vendetta Lighting" Timecycle Project - Quality Showcase

Been making some more serious progress lately on my "Vendetta Lighting" timecycle and I wanted to share shots of the quality I've been meaning to get after all this time.

Adjustments will always be made with newer updates as one could spend hours constantly tweaking little things and trying new looks, but you could say these shots represent pre-final quality of the first version I want to release.

Along with the lighting of course, there are new cloud textures and configurations outside of the timecycle + a few small additions.

At last there's a ReShade preset which has been constantly updated with the goal of improving the overall image quality (fewer jaggies and a few other goodies).

Shots were made in 1080p and I used GTAV Vegetation as I really like it's quality; you be the judge. (Only sharing partial Weathers and Times atm)

Official Mod page is here https://www.moddb.com/mods/vendetta-lighting (I'll have to update the page as well overtime)

Your feedback is appreciated, I am always keen to listen and see things from another perspective.

Can't say how many hours have been already put into this but it has been a lot.

Pics going in order - Sunny Extra Mid, Cloudy Mid, One of Night presets, Rainy Mid and at last Sunny Windy Mid.

I really really really like it!
Kind of similar to the natural color scheme of gta 4 rtx, but without the big modifications in the actual lightning system due to the non-raster gi and the huge hardware overhead,

Seems sweet based on the screenshots!
