Nonetheless, I never found a reason to use it so I left it off. Apparently, only AA1 Play has this setting which I don’t have installed so I can’t show an example. When I took this off in AA2, I mistook it to be the same as AA1’s bloom effect, which I got rid of since I don’t want my characters to be glowing. I would play those actually if they didn’t have shovelware-tier seiyuu (cough). Note that I say this as someone who finds the Real Play/Play Club models to look nice. However, as you may have seen in the previous images, such style doesn’t work with AA2.

I always went with outlines on, because I was too bugged with the eyebrows having outlines even with the off setting.įrom an artistic point of view, when was the last time you saw anime without outlines? One thing when it’s objectively fine not to have them when you are going for realistic style (since real life people don’t have outlines), with heavy skin details and everything. That’s even if I had a laptop can only support 4x anti-aliasing in AA1/AA2, and when Teatime’s option to have Love Death Final at 8x AA was considered as a luxury. I couldn’t remember when I took them off and and when I put them back, though I liked my screenshots with outlines better. OutlinesĪbove was the last time that I didn’t have outlines. There’s a paste somewhere that talks about the essential stuff, and this only tackles about the arbitrary ones. You will pick up what to do with these settings when you play other 3D games i.e. It doesn’t make my laptop’s specs look crappier than it already is.It doesn’t restrict my skin color options.Verdict: Vanilla is still my personal choice for the below reasons: In general, bloom has a stronger effect in Play (that’s not a result of the game’s lighting, because Play’s clothing editor and Maker just use the same files).

As you can see, it looks more saturated in Play than in the Maker. Rightmost picture has the ENB’s original settings with bloom disabled. I played around with the settings while using AA2Edit to preview them, though apparently, it didn’t do shit when used in AA2 Play. The last time I attempted using ENB + SweetFX on AA2, I recall it showing completely different things in Maker and in Play. I wasn’t fond of ENB + SweetFX in AA1 either. One reason that I don’t use this “mod” shows in the 3rd image, which looks like crap as the bloom drowns pale-skinned characters in white and makes my anti-aliasing (16xQ CSAA) look worse. I am not entirely sure whether or not I am following his guide correctly so I just gave up. As of this writing, it suddenly got password-protected. I went looking for a guide that lets me know the “standard” setting ENB users have, and it led me to a blog that discusses different options. While I am someone who can pick up spoken Japanese, there’s a huge chance that I will need subtitles for modded personalities whose voiced line don’t reflect the action that they initiate. This is pretty much unheard of in the English community because this requires the use of d3d9.dll, which is necessary for the subtitle overlay mod. It makes the body (set to thin as shown above) thinner.

The contours were significantly sharper and the skin seemed dried. I am not from a place which describes skin as “ashy” so I don’t know what it means, though I can get where people are coming from.

Personally, I thought that these mods are produced with the brown girls in mind, since they don’t look that awful with dark skin tones.Īs you can see below, you get a different shade of brown for every aforementioned mod that you use. These shadows don’t add unnecessary contours, so the output doesn’t look bad.įrom a certain angle, the feet look like you have toeless socks worn over them Extra: Brown girls It changes the lighting direction, which gives shadows on where they weren’t present. The mod shown above (note that you can have lighting mods without the above effect) makes the character look desaturated. Given that lighting mods solely affect the 3D characters and the 2D backgrounds they stand against are left as is, this makes it seem like a skin mod. I find lighting mods great when they are meant to complement the environment of the game. That’s the majority of the time you’ll play the game, right? Given the nature of lighting files, I’ll show only the lighting used during morning conversation. I’ll take the most generic version for this case. In /aa2g/, this is also known as the UV lighting mod though you may want to look for “sq64776” if you want to check out the additional versions. This is JG2照明セットDX (JG2 lighting set) produced by an anon in 2chan. Blooper: This is when I have the wrong “jg2p_00_01_00_02.lst”.
