Modder ‘Razed’ has released a new, remastered version of his NaturalVision mod for Grand Theft Auto V. This brand new version features an Enhanced Motion Blur, a Corona Modifier, Darker Nights, First-Person Depth of Field, Alternate Lens Flare Style, and allows to hide weapon reticle and damage overlay.

NaturalVision Remastered also greatly improves ExtraSunny and Clear weather during all hours, reworks cloud colors and variety in Clear weather, increases procedural vegetation density around different parts of the map with little to no FPS loss, increases the amount of litter / trash spawned around certain parts of the city, improves ambient lighting, fog haze colors and other fog related settings in Rainy weather, and makes rain drops more visible and thinner.

In order to better showcase the improvements of this remastered version of NaturalVision, the modder has also released some screenshots and a trailer that you can view below.
