I'm amazed by all the feedback, and I appreciate your support! Some of you have pointed out that the settings I provided didn't achieve the results in the video, That's because of the SEASONS. I found that each season affects the LUTs, so please try to adjust it a bit differently depending on the season.
holy moly sully! It was your detailing videos that restored my faith in Skylines 2! I had already lost hope until the detailing patch was released, and I saw all the surfaces you introduced! Up to now, your sand beach surface is the one I use the most in my gameplay! Btw, r u doing graffiti as well?
@@doubledonkey yeah really enjoy your content so far, keep it up! ah thanks, I have 1 more graffiti pack out next week, but likely it for graffiti stuff for a while.
Thanks for this guide! I have a strange request. Can you put out a short video showing how you lay down trees for a natural appearance? Your tree/bush selection and patterning is the most true to life that I've seen. I want to place trees like you.
I'll tell you honestly, first of all, this mod doesn't work for me, nothing happens when I change the parameters, but that's not what I wanted to say :) This game should look so good right away, and people aren't looking for ways to realistically illuminate the game because it looks depressing and lifeless, and it's not about strong colors, but about all the lighting, which is too dark and unsuitable for the game.
@@Reaper19799 There is a small “square frame" on the left of each parameter, you need to "check" the one you wanna make work, otherwise nothing will happen.
There are a lot of things lacking in the graphics and animations. For instance, the weather is horrible. Cities 1 had more realistic looking rain as opposed to this cartoony looking rain we have in this game
@@adamwoods4951 OMG its frustrating that after this look people are still experiencing issues. I have purposely held back for a long time to play this game in its prime. Looks like we aren't nowhere near there yet.
Maybe because developers are Sweden and they think everything should look gray and dull like in there lol.. From the first trailer I thought to myself why is everything so gray and dull it's depressing. Thanks for the tips.
Hey! Ant tips for my city idea here? (Reply) I want to make a semi-urbanist American city based in California. Any tips on what map I should use, what water settings, etc? It seems like all the mountainous coast maps are poorly done... any suggestions?
@@doubledonkey I am making my own map using a heightmap of Bellingham, Washington. Go to like google street view or something and check the town out... its a great heightmap
sry was my bad, longitude and latitude are not relevant in this case, so I removed them from the list. but if u do need to adjust those u could open the option menu, find LUMINA, then check the TOGGLE IMGUR BUTTON VISIBILITY, then u could find a button in game, left upper conner.
@@doubledonkey Yes, I activated this "square frame" in the options, then it appears in the top left corner. There you can access the parameters or sliders. I had already found it. But as soon as I move the slider, no matter which one, unfortunately nothing changes.
Ok, foarte frumos, dar unde gasim sa descarcam pachetele astea de culori...??? Sunt gratuite ? Am incercat sa schimb din setarile video ale jocului luminile, dar nu arata ca la tine... cred ca trebuie sa existe ceva pachete de culori sa le cumparam. Este adevarat ?
Yeap. It takes a while. You can copy some settings to other buildings etc, so ifyou want some roofs here and there you can do that, but afaik you need to click every building you want to paint manually. Result is awesome. Just take it slow expanding and detail a little more :)
It still amazes how bad default CS2 graphics is. And this was signed off by so-called professionals. But I'm glad we can finally adjust these values. Thanks for the guide!
you got a subscriber, really fantastic conternt, very good. congrats for the video. If you allow me I can made a similar translated to portuguese in my channel.
Not sure which part went wrong, u could try restarting the game a few times or maybe u use other mods like Sun Glasses or Preserve Photo Mode? If so u might need to adjust settings differently .
Disagree in almost every single point you try to make! 😂 German cars are ugly, your brightness doesn't look realistic. Nor do your recolored buildings and above all not a tiny bit your Sim-City-like clean streets! 😂
Thats because you dont get the points at all. 1,vanilla car colors sucks, german one better than vanilla one. 2, vanilla brightness sucks, and you can always adjust your own brightness, nobody force you to follow my adjustment. 3, vanilla buildings' colors suck, you can make your own. 4, you can use all those dirty decals on every single roads you have to make your "not sim city like clean road", but it makes no sense, and still, its not realistic, in fact, its not possible to make it 100% realistic at all, for all the game in the market.

I needed this, I see all the people on CZcams with realistic graphics and mine looks like PlayStation 2 😂
i try is stuff now my game look like mario 64 grafist

This was really great. I really like your commentary and the detailing and graphics too 👏

2:49 I wouldn’t have even guessed this was in the game if you didn’t say so

Thank you so much, this literally transformed my game! I'd love to see more realism tutorials like this one
I love these guides of yours. Simple and straightforward 👍
just looks so much better! thank you for this easy and quick guide and the settings!
Thank you, three mods which without were stopping me liking the game. Much appreciated for this 👍
I wonder why original graphics in cs2 are like this. Usually games try to look more vibrant than real life, not more dull and depressing.

Lumina just do not look anything like that for me🙃
yep, it has another interface and basically does the same thing.
Mine too. Weird
I honestly thought this vid was going to be shit, but holy fuck you made my day and won 1 sub in the process ! I loved it, thank you :>
Thank ~you~ my friend ~
Fantastic, entertaining commentary. I am waiting for my computer upgrade in October to get this game finally. I can't wait what else is in store!
It's literally full of bugs. I bought a new pc just for this game and haven't the patience to play for more than 30 mins.

Thanks for the tips.
🤣lol
Ty so much for this!! Love ur vids
Can you show to to create realistic road layout and planning?
let me think about how to do it ~
wow man thanks! new lighting is actually what stop me playing cs2
same ~ until the mod out
Thought I clicked a cs1 video. So good
This is probably the best compliment...😂
Thank you for featuring Lumina! Funny commentary lol 😂
The LUMINA creator! Ha ~ just saw the update and trying to figure out how to change the LUT.....
@@doubledonkeyI uploaded a video explaining it quickly
Nice, love it

sry I have no idea what other customized maps look like, 🤣never tried one, but I think there are many good stuff out there ~

finally i've been waiting for this one.
Great ! Nice that you had idea for this
Welp time to sign back into PDX mods and do some more tweaking 😅. Great video and great commentary!
thx man~
Ok, foarte frumos, dar unde gasim sa descarcam pachetele astea de culori...??? Sunt gratuite ?
Donkey D, could you record a video or write somewhere what your graphic settings are while playing?
sure ~
amazing ! thank you very much, it changes everything !! :)
Lumina crashes my game sadly. The game cant load the settings file and then crashes on loading or starting a new map
It might need to be loaded a few more times maybe ?
Mine looks nothing like this at all?
I can’t make the numbers exact?
they got google earth LUTs now~ you could try those ~
will follow
sorry but the Lumina mod doesn't work. Nothing changes when you move the controls. Current Lumina version: 1.5.6r4 - CS2: Version 1.1.7f1

Dude, this is great. Subbed
Great Video man.
❤😊
Dang this looks good
crazy, but the recoloring takes pretty long I assume?
Yeap. It takes a while. You can copy some settings to other buildings etc, so ifyou want some roofs here and there you can do that, but afaik you need to click every building you want to paint manually. Result is awesome. Just take it slow expanding and detail a little more :)
It still amazes how bad default CS2 graphics is. And this was signed off by so-called professionals. But I'm glad we can finally adjust these values. Thanks for the guide!
The map also look very good. Is it from the workshop?
its a vanilla map and a vanilla NA theme.
decent, gl with your channel
amazing work. Thnks
For some reason my game looks nothing like yours, even tho I copied all the settings. It looks kinda grey and faded :(
try to adjust a lit bit by yourself depending on your city then?
I think I fixed it. Do u use an LUT or the just the stock Lumina options?
"Amazing tutorial and commentary!!!"
The roads are still too clean
Sully's decal pack mods can help. There are stains, cracks, damage, tyre marks and more. You can really put character into the roads with them.
you got a subscriber, really fantastic conternt, very good. congrats for the video. If you allow me I can made a similar translated to portuguese in my channel.
Appreciate it bro, go ahead, please do it~
Wow, thanks ❤
Thanxs Cuz
how can I disable snow?
by using LegacyFlavour you can disable seasons' effects.
Nice video you are a hero.
Would you mind share your PC specs?
i7, 16GB ram, 2060 rtx......😂
How can I get the stones on your coast
from FIND IT, those stones are vanilla props.
I done siuubscribe 😊
,👍
Your settings in the video doesn’t give the look of the game in your video
I found that each season affects the LUTs, so please try to adjust it a bit differently depending on the season.
If I use these settinga I get a completly dark screen :(
To bad its not looking like yours, even with the same setting :(
Not sure which part went wrong, u could try restarting the game a few times or maybe u use other mods like Sun Glasses or Preserve Photo Mode? If so u might need to adjust settings differently .
Let's make Donkey D great again.
Too bright and unrealsitic.
you can always make your own LUTs by using LUMINA~ Welcome to share them as well~
This guys voice is pretty annoying....
