ALM Next Gen - Soon
This is Atmospheric Lighting Mod or in short ALM , this lighting mod project started in 2017 by Majime making his Real Lighting Mod and in 2018 Moon and Votislav started a new project merging Real Lighting Mod and STLM and made a new mod which is now ALM , my goal is to bring this mod back to next gen by making new edits and corrections but keeping the same vibe that Majime, Moon and Votislav did, I have already updated the mod for the next gen and made some fixes and some small edits adding particle effects in most weathers and adding fog colors in some locations that were missing, the mod still has some fixes to do and I need to redo Kear Morhen and Heart of Stones DLC because the mod has STLM environments and assets and
unfortunately needs to be removed as i don't have permission from the author to used them and also is where the mod have most issues are on that locations.
*The mod will be posted when it is complete and ready for release*
All Credits for Moon, Majime, Votislav and Essenthy.
Special thanks to Moon for helping me with some weather issues and for explaining what I could do and updating me on what the mod has and what was missing.

My goodness this is by far the best looking witcher 3 video i’ve seen. It looks completely next gen
@@roie255 thanks man
11:38 OMG. That looks sooooo freaking good!
This is the closest look to the legendary vgx trailer, amazing work.
They should have hired you for the expert of atmospheric design in Witcher 4
@@tachyonic900 thanks man, but this mod was not made by me, the mod was made by Moon, Majime and Votislav, what i did here i made very small edits and fixes and also upadate the mod for next gen, i will remake kaer morhen and heart of stone locations but that all what i will do on this mod
The Witcher 4 will be legendary
Don't mind me..I'm here again for another view
Congrats for 11k views!!!
@@ionutbadea4241 thanks man, and thanks for you support 🙏
Looks incredible
super turbo was my favorite light mod. i ve finished the game twice with that really changes the atmosphre. its so good to see someone is tryign to come up with somthing new and including some bits from all the previous ones.
First of all, this looks incredible. Wanted to say that. I'll be keeping my eye out for this one. Witcher 3 and Skyrim are my two favorite RPG'S of all time. I love playing heavily modded Skyrim. I did have a nice mod list for Witcher but a lot of it broke with the next gen update and the updated versions. Going to subscribe.
@@BuckeyeBlood thank you for your support 🙏
Skyrim is also a good game for modding i also had a heavily modded modlist a few years back.
P E R F E C T I O N✨⚔
@@DAN13L_77 thanks 🙏
Wow! Imagine how good gwent will look.
Damn... The dream Comes true.
Looks Great!
@@jamesroth7852 thanks
This is far better then the original
Thank you very much for your efforts
I wish Majime finished his one of lighting mod especially his concept lighting had really huge potential it could be best lighting mod for Witcher 3 I still remember his Concept Novigrad screenshots it were really impressive I'm not even mention Skellige it is already had best Skellige I've seen.
@@MasterKing-25 well thats something that can be done, i will try to make that happen, i can ask majime his original work and see what can be done with his permession, i have plan to bring back old lighting mods to next gen even the ones that never got finish.
Thanks for sharing that idea
this looks like the witcher 4 loooll so good man
@@waltercariani4.20 thanks man
They did it bro, this looks perfect, what else do you want to add? I think in its current state it is ready for the public. 🤯🙌
@@IIRhagoss thanks, but only show the mod where i have made the fixes, so places like kaer morhen and heart of stone dlc locations are not ready for public, needs to fixed
Holy smokes
wake me up when this mod release
Crazy what a knack Majime has for atmosphere despite being colorblind. ALM was always a favorite of mine lol. Don’t tell Majime 😂
@@maidenfan724 thats true, i could not believe he was colorblind when he told me haha 😅
And even being colorblind he have great skill how to set LMs
If its your favorite ALM will be back soon as we are working on it and will be fully supported on next gen 😁
10:00 The sky can't be blue when there's pinkish hue from what looks like a sunset. That's just wrong even if it looks cooler. However, the Fyke Isle swamps did look amazing and I see no issues there.
@@surajbhowal5846 thanks, sky was blue because that wasn't sunset, that was 15PM or 16PM in game, velen have a bit more warm tone during the afternoon thats not pink its brown, sunset in game starts at 19PM, i think you are trying to go very realistic on game that its a fantasy style
@@TheWhiteWolf_7Kz Thanks for the time settings. I don't want it to be realistic. I like fantasy but even fantasy has some rules, right? Currently, it doesn't look alright. What I mean to say is that it looks too out of place. It's like two soluble not mixing well. A few tweaks should be enough though. I'll leave that to your good hands.
@@surajbhowal5846 yeah well you right it have some rules, thanks for the feedback
@@TheWhiteWolf_7Kz I look forward to your release. I'd like to give it a try.
@@surajbhowal5846 thanks, it will take time, as we still need to make all kaer morhen, heart of stone and toussaint locations from 0
Great job Master!
@@oldflipgamer thank you my friend
Holy shit ALM, Willy and VGX (with concept as skellige) was my favs for old gen amazing that ALM is getting updated, then only thing left is waiting for VGX getting finished in 2029 lmao. Love to see amazing colors of those mods with depth that RT gives to an image, still there are some areas where Blitz with oldgen looks better, but i think nextgen start to look better than oldgen on average.
@@erisium6988 yeah i have plan to bring back some of the old lighting mods to next gen, the original authors have join me to fix and make improvements on ALM, VGX Lighting probably is close to be done i have seen crasher post a lot of pictures on his progress so his mod probably will be out atleast on this spring or summer i don't know for sure can be even sooner.
Old gen still holds up very well, the problem on next gen is the RT bugs if wasn't for that next gen would be better then old gen along time but unfortunately its what we have now
Hello. Great video, it's awesome.
Could you kindly tell me how you merged VGX Geralt made by Busby with Witcher 2 eyes?
@@pakus7 thank you man, i did not merge it, textures mods cant be merged i just give higher priority to W2 eyes
@@TheWhiteWolf_7Kz Ok, thank you for the answer
@@pakus7 no problem 😉
and a tip (if you don't mind): I think there is too much light at rain/storms..if feels like sunny weather somehow
@@ionutbadea4241 i will see what i can do, i am not doing this mod alone so i need to talk with the others and see what they thing about that change
Yes, and the shadows on the gound are crisp and clear, as if it were a sunny day, rather than absent or diffuse as on a cloudy day.
Cant wait
🔥🔥🔥🔥
The quality of this game is incredible
the visual quality of ur video is insane ❣ what capture card are you using to record this gameplay ?
@@ahmedahmed-kv6fm thanks man, well if you watch it on 4K then yeah probably is on good quality, in 1080p maybe youtube makes it more pixaleted or blurry, also depending in what divice you are seeing the video.
I use OBS to record all my videos
@@TheWhiteWolf_7Kz wow i thought like ur using a capture card , i record my gameplay with shadowplay but its no where near ur video quality , mine feels like a littel bit pixilated and the motion not that smooth
@@ahmedahmed-kv6fm ahh thanks yeah use OBS, i recommend OBS as many big streamers and youtubers use it also is kind of the must go program for content creators
wake me up, when this releases
You didn't need a comma there.
@@dcmastermindfirst9418 You're right Mr grammar, I will leave it there so all will know of the shame of the false comma
Tak wyglądający Wiedźmin 4 i jestem usatysfakcjonowany 😁
Witcher 4 looks like this mod… and Im so proud for CDProjektRed🔥 so amazing
I wish we had "filters" like this on PS5...
@@xenomorphlover ahah this not a filter, its a lighting mod and on mod like this are new types of weathers, new sun colors, new grass colors, sky colors, new clouds effects, new particle effects etc
As you see its not a simple filter, if you want a filter on you PS5 just change your TV or monitor presets and will have a different look
wow amazing, any idea approx when it will be released? I am playing the witcher (started by 3) for the first time and of course I have been trying the best mods I could to make it as perfect as possible before I go for it totally.
@@MisterSickGuy thanks man, well this mod might take time, I'm not going to promise any dates as making mods like this needs time, we wanted to release this mod with Heart of Stone and Blood and Wine DLC locations included so this will probably take a while, the rest of the locations have been done for years, ALM is a very old mod that for next-gen needs some fixes, but right now it's pretty good, so we'll probably focus more on the DLC locations if we don't spot any more issues in the game's main regions.
on the other hand, the bombardment of ads is less of a dream... but hey, UA-cam has become a bit of a competition to see who will be the most greedy.
any side to side comparison with vanilla nextgen version?
@@MrVoland44 no comparison videos for now, if you play witcher 3 the difference in between vanilla lighting any other lighting its pretty easy to spot differences, if not play witcher or never saw vanilla before that will be more difficult
love ur videos doas youtube accept gameplays without voice over like yours in youtube monitazation program ? i hope u answer me
@@werg3oude thanks man, yeah i believe yes, what youtube does not accept is like musics with copyright or sometimes gameplay that have strong violence or language youtube normally does not like does, i stop making gameplay that have like dismemberments or a lot of blood because youtube does not like it for monitazation, is kind of hard to make content on gameplay videos like that, you always can go around it by blur the blood or dismemberments but its more work on editing and probably not so fun for the viewers
@@TheWhiteWolf_7Kz thank you so so much for responding , i just wanna make sure like ur channel has been accepted in the monitazation program with this content ur making right ? like its monitized right now ?
@@werg3oude yes like when you get 1K subs you enter in youtube partnership and you can monitized all your videos all that info its on your youtube account you should check out
@@TheWhiteWolf_7Kz i meant like you , your channel got monitized ? and thank you sooo much
@@werg3oude no problem, yeah just like i said every channel under 1K subs allows you to monitized videos, so i am
Amazing visuals! Left a like! - but - if I understand correctly - I wont be able to have my current playthrough of my game look like this video, because the reshade mod is not released... Correct?
@@TTocsxic thanks, this is not a reshade its lighting mod, it still in development will be out when we finish all the tweaks and changes
@TheWhiteWolf_7Kz thank you for the quick reply! And - excuse me for the mixup with a ReShade. Excited for its release! Is there any idea on the time release or any previous versions available from the previous vids?
@@TTocsxic no problem, well a time of release its not set yet as we started to make tweaks for the mod a few days back so will take time, maybe a month or more, this is ALM was on old gen i updated the mod to next gen last week made some fixes because the mod was for old gen, you can read the description of my video its all info on the mod, from there you will understand the project better
How many gb is your modlist in total? I would like to start my 1st playthrough modded
And is there the equivalent of lorerim modlist for skyrim se in The witcher 3??
@@xlow7022 i am not sure, but its no more then 20Gb, there is a mod called HD Project Rework for next gen this mod alone its 11Gb because its overhaul textures mod, the rest of the mods there are very small in size
@@xlow7022 no there is no pre made modlists on witcher 3, i did this modlists my self with mods i like, on skyrim there is a lot of modlists like nolvus, lorerim and wunduniik with more then 1000 of mods on witcher 3 you dont need that many mods in fact the game will only support up 200 and something mods if you go higher then maybe 260 mods you game will crash your stop working
Nice,but how's it look like in toussaint?
@@Dorastrickland1993 This mod did not have toussaint regions made, the mod also does not have kear morhen and heart of stone dlc locations because it have some issues thats why you did not see also on this video, we will have it toussaint later on after we finish doing fixes and tweaks if you read the description on my video you know more about this mod.
How did you port it, looks just like the original with the best sunset of lm. Never liked the brown grass in Velen though.
@@multilod8974 well i updated the mod made some fixes and small edits, the all info its on the description of what its plan for the mod
Dude Blitz FX brings back the water from E3, I think it's amazing, as well as the sun and the volumetric sun lighting, the only thing that Blitz doesn't do is modify the lighting of the caves like E3, it's a thousand times better in E3, the caves have their own lighting as if it were ray tracing, you could bring it to the lighting mod as well as the water dispersion from E3 with Ard which is better in E3 and there is no mod that brings it back, like the blood from E3 also which there is no mod that replicates, and also day and night are reversed in the E3 version, the sun rises on the other side, the brightness, reflection and resolution of the weapons is also much higher in the E3 version, even if you put a high resolution weapon mod it won't be the same as E3 because it lacks that reflection and shine as if it were a metal mirror that only E3 has.
@@superwalter5697 well E3 had a lot of things that did not go to the final game many of them was what you mention, the water is hard thing to make as is something with physics and its not done by lighting mods, and i really dont have knowledge on physics in this game or any other unfortunately.
Blitzfx is a very good mod but probably will stay on old gen as no one even the author watend to porte it to next gen because the game on dx12 now work differently then before
@TheWhiteWolf_7Kz So it's going to be difficult for someone to do it, especially something like this, i was a little disappointed with the release of the CD Project kit, almost no mods are being released, i thought it would lead to more modding, and I had hope in this kit with this possibility of completely bringing what was in the E3 demo.
@@superwalter5697 well, what happened with REDkit, the tool is super good and useful, the problem is that CDPR released REDkit too late like the launch of the game in 2015 and they launched this tool in 2024 about 9 years later and many of the modders that were around just left the scene with the passage of time or loss of motivation in gaming and modding, the Witcher 3 is still great in mods in 2025 but unfortunately it peaked in 2016 to 2019 after that time the game and mods started to slow down
@@superwalter5697 blitz doesnt really benefit from mod tools - at least i think it doesnt
Mods, I like mods, and I also hate mods😂. In 2018 I started to install mods on Witcher 3. In 2020 I decided to fix some of them, cuz authors didn't update them. So I started to look at scripts, didn't have experience in programming, just tried to find sense in these scripts. And I found, I modified scripts, and back then I discovered that I understand programming logic, can design algorithms. I decided to learn C++ and it was easy and etc. And then I started to create my own mods, first for Witcher 3, then for Dying Light (DL is pretty shit for modding, but there are a lot of things a wish to fix or change), and since then I didn't play games (story mode), I just modified them😂. The last time I finished Witcher 3 was april of 2020. In September I started New Game, but stopped in the beginning cuz I became interested in programming. That's it. It's 2025 and I still just run Witcher 3 to walk around and kill some Nekkers, I wish I finally stop to modify W3 and DL, and finally start a New Game😂😂😂. Heeelp😂
@@ryanblake7955 well i started to make only lighting mods, i did not try to make scripts and i probably don't understand nothing of that actually ahah.
But if you understand scripts thats good as you can fix, make or update more complex mods, i have finish the witcher 3 a lot of times now you need to try to finish it too ahah 😅
@TheWhiteWolf_7Kz I really glad for what people like you do. Cuz I like lightning mods so much, they barely affect performance, and make game feel different. And to make good lightning mods, or other visual mods you need to feel the beauty (IDK how to describe it, like combinations of colors, brightness and etc.). It's harder for some people, thanks for your work.
@@ryanblake7955 thanks man, yeah making lighting mods is cool, i normally go for some a vibe i like to see, like a fantasy style or realistic, or maybe both as they will go well together aswell.
Thanks also for your work on the mods you did, modding is a great thing for games 😁
I'm back with 2 questions, cuz I checked your mod list.
1) You linked E3 Trailer Swords for Wolf set and E3 Sword of Destiny Trailer Swords BUT both of them replaced the same swords.So which one are you using?
2) Busby VGX armor is made with 4k textures?
I come back also to check your amazing clip again.I am in wowed because this LM suits next gen so well.I hope you guys take in consideration RAY TRACING ON.
@@ionutbadea4241 both mods have the same steel sword, the differences its the silver sword but pay close attention in one of the optional files of the mods that one of them have to replace some other silver sword that its not wolf set, so you can have both mods.
About the LM and ray tracing this video its with ray tracing ON and as you can see it works very well so no worries about that 😁
You guys can release the mod without Toussaint first..And then you can add it.I think that will be great
@@ionutbadea4241 yeah i get you, but we wanted to complete the mod for not have be back to it, is better to realese a complete mod then have to working after
@@TheWhiteWolf_7Kz I like how toussaint looks and I am afraid that you guys will change the summer vibe..this is the reason I wanted to be optional
@@ionutbadea4241 well thats not a issue, when we make it we can have a version with toussaint and other without it, its easy to remove it
this is next gen
Any performance hit?
@@axel2x748 lighting mods dont hit on performance, i have use many lighting mods and did a few lighting mods my self and any of them hit on performance is other visual like textures mods or mods that have LOD
Gonna play TW3 again after the mods will release lol
omg finally.Will you upload it on nexus? Because I can't join that discord, idk why..Pls pls pls
@@ionutbadea4241 well its plan to be on nexus, but will take time as we are still tweaking the mod
This is why they should never switch to unreal.
why is everything so purple/magenta?
@@I_decide_if_we_win_or_lose because its how the mod is
@TheWhiteWolf_7Kz noted, with kind regards
Looks awesome, but still i am an "E3 2014" guy, that project still going on or V3 final is the last version?
@@HardGenerationz thanks, i probably will return to E3 2014 to make some changes so a V4 could be happening later on
Cant get 60fps without fsr on rx6800xt . This is truly demanding.(no raytracing)
@@alihosseini8797 with no ray tracing probably yes, there also a mod called DLSS Enabler that works on AMD gpu and you can use frame gen and use TAAU instead of using fsr or dlss, frame gen will boost you fps
Its ps 5 pro ?
@@crown4454 no this is on PC, ps5 does not have mods
what mods are you using for geralt?
@@AJ-qq7cg all my mods are on my description with a link to my modlist
what program do you use to record game ?
@@FilmczyGra i use DaVinci Resolve
@@TheWhiteWolf_7Kz 👉 Do you use DaVinci Resolve to record directly, or just for editing? I'm asking because I've been having trouble recording good-quality gameplay for a long time. OBS doesn't record with DX12, and NVIDIA GeForce Experience lowers the quality. So, what exactly do you use to record in-game? thx for answer :D
@@FilmczyGra i am sorry i miss understood your question at first time, it's not DaVinci Resolve to record its OBS i use, for editing its DaVinci Resolve 😅🤣
Well to record in good quality you probably need some good settings for your system, i can send you my settings on my discord server if you want but i am not sure if they going to work well

Can anyone explain to me why my game looks pixelated I’m using Dlss my computer in a nvidia 4070 and my game looks shit
@@hoovinsmoovin322 i dont use DLSS, i use TAAU and i play on 2k, but the problem you have can also from other thing with your resolution, graphics settings, nvidia control panel and mods.
Try to use mods like Tweaks mod to enhanced more the graphics settings, also check your nvidia control panel and use your ansotropic filter to 16x.
What I did was let Nvidia do the dirty work. I clicked on "Optimize Game," and it did the rest. Has been working smoothly since then. I also have a 4070.
Just turn off dynamic resolution scaling
@@sudadthegreat5081 yeah that dynamic resolution its also a bad setting, but that blurs the game while you moving the camera around, but yeah i don't also recommend that option good thing that you mention it
