Hey Hey! My Preset gets better. I like the Results I get with ELE.

Dawn near Lakeview Manor:



But the new Skymesh does not solve following thing (marked with red circle):



Great work, thx jawz!!

I thought sky geometry can't be modified, but now it's another pain for volumetric shadows, because they must fit to clouds and don't know how to do this for any geometry and it's size.

MNake people choose. This is the only mesh that modifies sky geometry out there so if we have to choose between this or volumetric shadows, i still choose volumetric shadows

SiSaSyco: That is the water egde of the world you are seeing on the last screenshot (I think). Kinda cant fix that.
It is another problem with doing what JawZ is doing, you become much more aware of the fact that the world is a square, and the sky is a half sphere, and hence they do not add up perfectly in the far distance.

[--JawZ--]

Sky, fog, clouds and sun+Moon have each their own separate mesh. and. the world edges is circular divided into small squares.

I Can't currently respond to all properly, typing on a phone with Swedish vocabulary is f*ing pain in the ass!

I love you so hard right now.

@ narphous

Must be Jawz shirtless pic. (LOL)


@ Jawz

Fantastic work here !!

Thanks for everything guys and/or girls.

The sky mesh horizon is as low as possible so it does not create a sharp edge seam between the water layer and horizon. The horizon can be increased in height by re-arranging the RGBa values for the vertex colors.

The Red color = Horizon
The Green color = Middle
The Blue = Top

To make the sea plane beyond the highest mountains "invisible" one can draw the fog closer and make the far fog more intense, and now that the fog does not distort the horizon that can be done pretty easily. But it requires Creation Kit edits and thus a .esp plugin that alters weathers to do that.
I will make such adjustments if the sky mesh can be altered without causing conflicts with Boris implementation of new features such as the volumetric shadows for the cloud shadows. But if it is clouds Boris is trying to "fetch" for his volumetric cloud shadows then this edited mesh should not cause any problems as the cloud placement in the sky is done in a separate mesh and is not done in the atmosphere.nif file, it only contains info on the sky gradients.

is that you shirtless, fixing something in your shed, Jawz?!

Yeah it's me 3-4 years ago working on some part for my car engine, I can't remember what exactly right know. I only remember it was some part for the turbo to either improve performance or stability of the engine.

EDIT;

Remember know, I was cutting one of the pipes for my new turbo headers which I calculated the running length of to be able to induce a better flow through the headers and to the turbo to reduce lag and increase responsiveness and thus achieve a better power curve.

Is that for the Impalar 67' or something? Can't remember what you had
