# Cinematic Particles
Cinematic Visual Enhancement for The Witcher 3
## About
The Witcher 3 already has a strong visual identity, but some effects can feel flat or inconsistent in motion — especially during intense scenes, fast camera movement, or visually dense moments.
Cinematic Particles is a lightweight visual enhancement that refines the game’s particle presentation to better match a cinematic, modern look, without altering the original art direction or drawing attention to itself.
The changes are subtle and cohesive, designed to blend naturally into gameplay. Scenes feel more alive, transitions appear smoother, and the overall image gains a more polished, film-like quality.
This mod does not aim to overhaul visuals — it improves what is already there.
