I don't have any screens necessarily or girls to post, but I have been following this thread for a very long time and wanted to post what I've got. I've been trying to improve my config constantly and always boosting fidelity, I run most of my settings past where they should simply for the purpose of videos not gameplay.

My first video I did using a customized Opethfeldt v6: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6aZoTSIuZc
And my second video using an even more frankenstein Opethfeldt V6: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=of2ZlHqxj9s

I love Opethfeldt's light and color gradation and bloom style. So I've been still working on improving it for my needs.

Here is a test video I rendered out this morning of just a walking scene: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hk0jmLwrv1Y

It's in the morning, foggy, and up north in skyrim. SSAO is my biggest challenge to make it not look blobby. SO right now I'm running 1.3x scale to help clean things up but most of the options don't make sense to me so for the most part I set things the closest to -1 as I can. I did follow a PDF guide on ini tweaks and it didn't clear much up :\

If you all know of the surefire improvements for simply the quality of the processing that I'm missing that I Might be able to use in the ini or maybe the fx files fire away. I've set everything to the highest I'm aware outside of the scale options. Performance is of no concern at all since I record in slow motion and speed back up, which helps give small motion blur.

Nice vids, mate! The shadowing looks fantastic! Very dreamy and colorful preset.

@SirCrest
I really like your this morning test what was the render speed you achieved in Realtime for that in your setup and on which PC Hardware ?

_________________

I set the game clock to 2% speed and recorded at 4fps. It runs reliably at about 5-6fps with my options. I'm on a 3770k, 2x MSI 3GB GTX580 Lightnings, 4x8GB DDR3-1600.

I then sped it up to 192fps and scaled down to 24fps for the smooth motion. I think my math is wrong some where. 0.02 speed at 4fps should give 200fps in 100% speed, so 192 should be close to the ideal. So I'm not sure why it's noticeably slow like that. But in real time it took about half an hour to record. Those other two videos maybe took like 3 hours worth of recording time. I actually use a small audio mixer to keep my camera moving. I put a small 1/8th to 1/4th adapter into the top middle jack and then place it onto one of my WASD keys and keep it moving :p

What is the slowest part of your ENB Render chain i guess the DOF ?

On a note im really happy how this test came out im rendering against the sky though not yet tweaked in anyway

_________________

Yea I think the DOF is the main drop. I run at about 10fps with it off and it plummets to around 6 or so with DOF depending on the scene. I'm using mindstalker's DOF shader with everything maxed out with it on manual focus.

SirCrest : your second video is amazing, love the vibe, it looks like heaven forest

Started using Tropical Skyrim again today. I think it just needs higher-res textures, in my opinion.

On my opinion that jungle mod looks cartoonish because of green color, it's unnatural, only few types of plants have such color (or in early spring), everything have darker green less yellow color.

I am INFP, not the brutal, godamnit.

I'd have to agree with you, Boris. It's kinda the reason why I stopped playing it. (No offense to Soolie, the mod's great, just not in line with my tastes. ) I mean, I do prefer more vibrant colours, but I also like darker colours, too. (Now I'm just rambling, feel free to ignore me.)

Anyways, the reason I went back to it was because I can actually play it. As in, with my original mods Skyrim can barely top 2 frames per second when I enable my ENB.
