What preset is this picture from ?

[Mahogny]

Can anyone tell me what preset / mod that have been used on this picture ?

I am especially interested in knowing how the light from the fire is cast on the walls and of course the shadows.

The picture is from the ENB mainpage.



I have tried a bunch og lighting mods and enb presets but I am still clueless

Thanx in advance.

It was made by Dorak.

Nice detective work. If I remember right, he was working off from Superb ENB at that point.

It looks like the screen was taken at the Solitude courtyard which is an exterior location, and exterior shadows apart from sun/moon went down the drain in one the official patches... So no shadows from the fire anymore, I'm afraid.

So THAT'S what happened with my shadows? Who knew? What inanity!

Hey, it's you! Have you given up on Skyrim completely?

Yeah, that. You can actually still create shadow-casting exterior light sources but the way they work is pretty ingenious to say the least, for example torches will have a proper range but the shadow is rendered like it was cast by the non-visible sun. One can only imagine (though probably better not to) what kind of problems they had with their engine... All in all it's really too bad, it's one of the main reasons why the nocturnal strolls through Whiterun or Solitude often look terribly bland.

You can restore exterior point light shadows by turning off deferred shadows in skyrimprefs, but that will cost you skylighting. Seeing as there aren't many shadow-casters outdoors, it's probably not a worthwhile trade-off.

Yeaa Nice detective work And thanks for answering my question.

What a shame that the exterior shadows went down the drain. They really adds so much to the look and feel of the game.
Especially in this picture, the campfire emits a much larger light radius and cast it on the walls..

So is it possible to find the preset that comes close to this look ?
