Re: Natural Lighting and Atmospherics for ENB

Hey there Mr. Con Man sir...

Any chance you have an 'unofficial' update for your NLA config? It seems that you've continued to refine your technique quite a bit since the 1.4 release. I've just reinstalled Skyrim again and am keen on some freshness ;)

1.4 is still beautiful in any case!

Re: Natural Lighting and Atmospherics for ENB

I can send you what I'm using right now if you want. It's still a little experimental though.

@Confidence Man

It''s good to hear from you! Please do share your WIP, would love to see it. :)

I understand you have moved away from using a palette texture? Have you worked much on interiors?

I've been tinkering a bit with your 1.4 release, just posted a number of pictures over in the main Skyrim thread. I reduced reflection scales from 1.0 to 0.67, but enabled supersampling which allows for far less noisy reflections, even with low blurriness values (i.e. 0.05), and still reasonable performance. I also feel 1.4 looks better with overall Gamma at 1.0 rather than 1.15, though maybe that's just on my monitor...

Also, I noticed that the 1.4 release on the Nexus still has the 'old' film grain from enbeffectprepass.fx enabled on top of the new configurable effect.txt film grain. I think the prepass grain should be disabled by defaulty, (i.e. fGrainScale=0), no? Otherwise it's always there...

Anyway, I still feel NLA is already hands-down the most natural and realistic ENB config available for Skyrim today. There are a lot of other beautiful and fantastical presets out there, but nothing else feels quite so natural. And your use of IBL is impeccable :D

I'll clean it up a little and take the one good weather I have and copy/paste to the others.

Some controls in enbeffect don't do anything anymore, like the stuff relating to palette and brightness (only basic Brightness works still.)

I tried your beta preset, but it crashed on the exterior's? I understand it's alpha, but no one else have this?
