There doesn't exist many mods for the game Dragon Ball Z Budokai 1, with the exception of a few basic mods like characters and arena swaps.
But recently, some progresses have been made when it comes to shaders mods : Theses types of mods aim at changing how the game's look and the results are gorgeous, especially when it comes to how the characters look.

Budokai 1 shaders mod : No more plastic-looking characters

By default, the characters in the game Dragon Ball Z Budokai 1 look like they are made up of plastic. But by modding the shaders, it is possible to make them look much more realistic and give them a better look. To the left, it is a video which show how this looks ingame. One has to wonder why when they produced Budokai 1 HD, they didn't go for this kind of lightings and shadows.

Budokai 1 Shaders edits

In the game, every characters use the same lighting value : And this is why the characters who are transformed in Super Saiyans have the same luminosity and shadows as normal characters.

While I'm at it, it is also possible to change how the base form of the characters look like and give them a shading similar to the one which is used in the Raging Blast series.
