@Nukem9 How did you get the source of Skyrim SE? I'm just starting to learn CPP and I'd really like to apply any practice on Skyrim SE. There is no Skyrim source code. I reverse engineered most of it. edit: @Boris I've even profiled grass rendering with Intel VTune but never found a reason for the ...

Hi Boris, what exactly is the hardest part of implementing the SSS effect for Skyrim Special Edition? AFAIK, you need access to the GBuffer and the DepthBuffer to implement the effect and you need to know which things in the GBuffer need SSS (NPC's, Player, Vegetation, Candles). Is figuring out whi...

@ENBSeries Will you ever want fix the broken water reflections in ENB itself? (Trees with black bars in water: https://i.imgur.com/yn43NSd.png) They draw trees using a flat "box" instead of the real tree model in a pre-pass render: https://i.imgur.com/jX6ugbU.jpg The rendertarget is this c...

Here's the lighting samplers: 0: DiffuseSampler (Same as Skyrim) 1: NormalSampler (Same as Skyrim) 2: SpecularSampler (Same as Skyrim) 3: HeightSampler (Same as Skyrim) 4: EnvSampler (Same as Skyrim) 5: EnvMaskSampler (Same as Skyrim) 6: GlowSampler (Same as Skyrim) 7: "MaterialLandscape: norma...

https://mega.nz/#!ln5AkJzK!8SHyHlZaf5xO0z-4ctwF3jbu_82sA4qw0G0XpbeQ74c This should have 99% of the names I can extract. BSLightingShader samplers/ImageSpace are not included. Notes: - Bethesda removed GetSamplerName() for lighting, so I need to debug each one by hand. I'll have those later today or ...

Im curious about another thing. What the heck they used to compile shaders, so some of them have null as output or arguments of instructions. I think they are bugs or for D3D11 compute shaders. ISDownsampleIgnoreBrightest PS/VS.hlsl <-> ISDownsampleIgnoreBrightestCS CS.hlsl Another bug I saw: verte...

edit: I was wrong, assembly is messed up :\ Here's an example of the tech names I found: // Lighting // TechniqueID: 0x5524407 // // Technique: 0Sh0_Vc_Sk_Msn_Sss_DfSh_Aspc_Atest_FacegenRGBTint #define VC #define SKINNED #define MODELSPACENORMALS #define SOFT_LIGHTING #define DEFSHADOW #define AMBIE...

Here's ~16k of the shaders. Maybe they'll be useful for someone else, but I need to fix a few things and it will be a couple days.

Todo:
- Samplers
- Fix Utility/Lighting/Effects/... bugs
- ImageSpace

More examples, I'm almost done with all of them except ImageSpace/Compute shaders. Am I missing any info?

SSE\Shaders\Water:
Water_Vc_Refl_LOD.vs.hlsl
Water_Vc_NTex_Va_Refl_Refr_Specular.ps.hlsl

SSE\Shaders\RunGrass:
RunGrass_VertexL_Billboard_AlphaTest.vs.hlsl
RunGrass_VertexL.ps.hlsl

Grass is buggy shit which can't receive shadows, lights properly, same as in old game. With enough ENB features i think it has the potential to look better than skyrim classic. This never gonna happen, ever. Shaders obfuscated 8000+ of them in this engine (compared to 2000+ in old). Only SKSE chang...
