TES Skyrim 0.228

[ENBSeries]

The Elder Scrolls Skyrim (TES Skyrim, Скурим Свитки)

Graphic mod ENBSeries / patch ENBoost 0.228

Added caustics and one more parameter for frennel factor, because saw that Pure Waters do changes which don't allow frennel multiplier to work (guess zero values). Also found that sky lighting look wrong on water when ambient occlusion not enabled, fixed. Aurora borealis distortion in reflections from camera scrolling not fixed yet (i don't want to, lazy).
Did a lot of experiments with caustics, not an easy to generate good looking and fast from textures of water. Apply sun direction factor of their projection was wrong idea, because it's buggy without some data not available in shaders, so effect just projected from top to bottom.

Wow, new caustics water looks stunning! Using with Pure Waters - no problems to report - fits perfectly into Skyrim IMO

Been like a big kid splashing about in the water for hours!

Effect looks really good, especially on edges of rocks and things in the water.



All water effects off

On


Using vanilla water. Real Water doesn't work too good, maybe due to the resolution of the water texture.

Tested with vanilla water as well, looks nice so far.

I have always used the Wrapper version, but for some reason it doesn't work this time. Why would that be? Maybe my game version is too old?

Wow looks really good, tested with RWT2. Good job

I have no idea. Which version worked before? 0.227? What exactly not work and how? Etc, etc, etc.


Okay folks, finished porting parallax code from debug shader to main, time to bother water modders for updating alpha channel by height (inversed at this moment, need to decide keep as it is or what). Example of my test water parallax is here http://youtu.be/KrMHUSMnIQI

Thumbs up !
Looks perfect with W.A.T.E.R mod on my side.
Dumb question : can we hope about a water effects sunrise / day / sunset / night / interior D/N separation ? Maybe for amounts only...
Depending on circumstances, this could be fantastic

Now updating my setups on Nexus....
