Skyrim Transparent Object Bug

I am not good at english,I've been using a mod called Transparent and Refracting Icicle and Frost Atronachhttps://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... /mods/2458

I found that the icicle mesh is not transparent at all when I enable the enbseries effect:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/ ... 2941112816

it suppose to look like this when I disable the enb effect:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/ ... 2941113502

then I try the v.347 version enb:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/ ... 2941112018

The other transparent stuff like a transparent glass armor mod i use works fine

I previously use a early version about v.3XX,and It works fine,so I guest It's because the parallax feature which makes the Multi-Layer parallax have conflict with transparent effect,yet I am not a programmer .This is the only mod i found make stuff transparent,I guess it's a specific problem,I just report it.Hope you can understand my english.

Re: Skyrim Transparent Object Bug

In the 0.484 version I did bug fix for game refraction. But this mod https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... /mods/2458 have mistakes about setup meshes, also refraction texture is invalid, it must not have data in the alpha channel (since 0.484 alpha channel is thickness of material).

Re: Skyrim Transparent Object Bug

Somebody should report to author of the mod about this mistake. It uses refraction over multilayer parallax.

Re: Skyrim Transparent Object Bug

It's the same with all glassy objects. Like the jar in my pictures.

And maybe the way these objects have been set up is the only way to achieve real glassy look.
Or is there anything I could do to the mod, to achieve the exact same effect on ice and glass, while using the latest ENB ? (It must be transparent and have multilayer parallax)

Re: Skyrim Transparent Object Bug

It's same because all objects with refraction were wrong in vanilla game because of two bugs with refraction itself. If you get used to wrong look it doesnt mean right. Look at this mod, it's made with new feature of fixed refractions:

That's the same mod I'm using on the picures with the jar. It also looks wrong with ENB.

Re: Skyrim Transparent Object Bug

It is not looks wrong, but how designed by author, who requested from me to fix refraction bug.
