TES Skyrim 0.227

[Jafin16]

Water caustic or reflection, one or the other, effects fire/burning braziers with overlay of "background". Easiest seen indoors with large fire pit, like qasmoke at the forge, or at night looking into fireless burning brazier/pit. Screenshots are useless, easier to see during movement.

Well, Boris hasn't released caustics, so it's gotta be reflection then... unless you meant Dispersion?

Fairly sure that it depends on the texture used. I also use realistic water two, and the colors are there but not that extreme.

Love the new reflection parameters though! It has solved an issue I had with water reflections being too intense!

[Oyama]

Personnally using W.A.T.E.R. , and never had any issue whatever the values
Can't wait for caustics, Boris !
And parallax would be quite good as well I'm almost sure you did some tries already.

I use WATER too (it's the best water package anyways in my eyes, handmade waves not only in Solstheim, water plants, several different types of waves) and I have this rainbow shimmer effect too (same water values in enbseries.ini as SkyrimTuner, actually I use his ENB preset), but at a far lesser degree. It looks pretty realistic for equipped metallic armor textures beneath the water surface, but no so well for body textures.

I could watch this overlay effect fire pits too, an overlay of structures in the background on burning firewood pieces (and not even the whole structures, looks like a normal map grid for wall stones in my case) and yes, it is at best visible during movement.

Some screenshots (ENB 227 + RealVision preset):

Was it you with the transparent fire embers?

Haven't messed with parameters as yet, just getting caught back up to updates from 0.226...so defaulted values with whatever Boris plugged into it. Just that I can see an overlay, like greyscale/transparency/ghost of background (reflection if it were water) when looking into fire pits and such with no fire. Otherwise, without any fiddling with values, [Water] is looking really nice. As for Caustics, yeah I did get ahead of myself.

Boris: any way to get more of the original texture colors blended with the rainbow effect in Caustic? (I mean is this within your ability/skill/framework of that silly game)

I wasn't the one with the transparent embers... can't remember who that was :-\

Was it you with the transparent fire embers?

That was me, or at least one of them was. I reported a problem with distant dynamic snow particles showing through logs/ashes when particle lights are enabled. Somebody else also reported a problem with a certain city wall cornerstone decal rendering through the flames themselves, but I haven't noticed that and I don't know if that has anything to do with the particle lights settings, so it may be an unrelated bug.

You mentioned Parallax mapping the water? I asked about parallax to a few modders, and they (Actually, I think it was just Opticshooter) mentioned it looked weird, but I didn't see any pictures of how it looked.
