Maximize Water and Reflection Quality

Configure Water Rendering

NeoLux Shaders features dark, mirror-like water surfaces. Access shader options with Shift + O and locate water-related settings to customize reflections.

Improving Water Appearance

Enable High-Resolution Reflections: If available, toggle this option to render clearer reflections of trees, shores, and sky on water surfaces. This is most noticeable near coastlines and large lakes.

Adjust Water Darkness: Fine-tune how dark the water appears. Deeper water naturally looks darker; shallow water near sand may appear lighter. Balance this to match your preferred aesthetic.

Increase Reflection Detail: Higher settings render more terrain and sky detail in water mirrors. This creates the cinematic shoreline effect NeoLux is known for.

Best Viewing Locations

Visit large bodies of water at different times of day to see reflections change. Sunset and sunrise create the most dramatic mirrored effects. Shallow water near beaches shows the most detail, while deep ocean water appears as dark, calm mirrors—both are intentional design choices that enhance the peaceful mood.
