TES Skyrim

I hate to ask again. But no one seemed to answer.

1. How do I control the radius of the bloom? Like in this picture below, the bloom radius looks small just around the bright windows. My bloom just affects the whole screen, working almost like ambient light.

Kali, under the [BLOOM] section of enbseries.ini, there are two entries for Radius1 and Radius2. I don't claim to know the difference.... I have always just kept them the same, but it would be worth testing to see how they affect things individually...

Hope that helps.

Getting close now. These are from last night after a few minor tweaks.... really digging it now...



































That is all.

Hi everyone, good day here is 11:00 am.

@theradikal11
Thanks my friend and im agree with this people about your screenshots and specularity skins.

and you all guys as usual great screenshots and thanks for sharing .

Edit: :S wth i dont know what is happening with my crappy network, this thing can load the picture from everyone without problem but, it takes so much and at the end not load all screenshots from dpeasant ( even if i refresh the page ) then i have to wait until 00:00 hours or more to can load them correctly and even when my network is better they load very slow comparing with the rest of screenshots too bad wait all days until late hours to can see your screenshots man. F.....! network :S

Sorry, I only now noticed your original question. The thread flies past so fast it's hard to keep track of posts if you're not tracking it all the time.

There are probably other ways to achieve the same bloom look as in my images, but what I did was I used a combination of Matso's bloom and HD6's Crisp Bloom (in his enbeffect.fx). First, Matso's bloom was configured to give enough bloom to make the light sources pop but not to make everything too hazy (increase contrast to downplay some of the haze if you have to). Then I applied HD6's Crisp Bloom to lift the brightest part of the screen -- check enbeffect.fx, HD6 provided pretty thorough controls with helpful comments from him. I haven't had time to tweak any further since then, but I'm sure there are even better ways to combine the two blooms.

Feel free to send PM, if you need any further pointers.

@theradikal11: The skin of the charakters in your pics looks very good. What value(s) is it that manages that reflection?

Specular mutliplier + specularity texture. If a model has no spec texture, configuring spec through enb is useless, though.

As it seems, you are using these spec-textures too.
How can I get them and how do I apply them to my game? (or is this VIP-stuff?)

Nice progress, could you make a time of day spectrum and weather overview ?

@ Trillville
TV_ENB is THE Reference for Cinematic ENB presets, hopefully they wont stop giving you meds have to talk with your dentist to higher the med dose a little more

@PMind
Excellent Character Bloom

dpeasant (custom lightning) + Trillville Cinematic + PMind Character Bloom = Ultimate Experience

adding Stakados unique Dof Setup might be also a good thing, i can just imagine how intense it would looking i imagine this combination currently on the screen

Personally i prefer many of the ENBs here compared to Gionights ENB and Setup and the reason for that is pretty simple his very clean setup looses immersevenes for me it looks to clean and flat over time but overall many ENBs here create much more Immersive look and feels and you can feel the passion put into them pixel by pixel watching them
For me these ENB presets reflect the emotions and feeling of the artist and thus everyone of them is like a unique fingerprint for me, and especially in the Skyrim (Bethesda) Modding Community you can catch these feelings everywhere around you it's really magical and its really driving you on getting so much inspiration and i really would say no other Modding community has such a high density of talented people from all kinds of areas, there is not only 1 that shines above all other there are thousands that shine together side by side forming a massive cloud of emotions

The Screenshots are epic. but can anyone suggest me a good ENB setting to play on. Most of the screen shots here are art and zoomed with DOF on the main hero and not the game to play.

[DogStar]

@dpeasnat... those character shots are stunning, they have such a feeling of life to them.

@theradikal11... same thing applies

@PMind... you have created a very different Skyrim, and a very cool one at that; I'm amazed by what you guys achieve.

I would hate this forum to turn into a bash Gionight free for all, not that I'm suggesting your doing that... anyway, despite the unnecessary tone of some of his posts, and giving me a reason to turn off PM's here I do still love his work, though not through the rose tinted specs I once wore when viewing his posts. I think 75% of the appeal of his shots is masterful composition and 25% the uniqueness of his config... for me too they are a bit too clean, but remarkable and inspiring none the less.

Anyway, moving firmly on... I like the photo feel of these pics, shame about the feet not touching the ground on the ice.

TV_ENB would get my vote... and its very easy to remove the movie 'letterbox' effect, if you find it constricting.

Despite a lot of shots here being 'art shots' most of these configs are perfectly playable.

A_H, the reason most users take "artsy" shots is because random shots of just game play are boring. If you're going to show off what your ENB set is capable of, why wouldn't you take some nice shots to at least make the enjoyable to look through. As Dogstar said, most of them are perfectly playable. DOF does come into effect a lot when taking close up artsy shots, but during game play it is nothing more than just another effect that helps with immersion... it is not a distraction at all... and if you don't like it, it is as easy as it gets to simply turn it off.

So again, they are all playable for normal play through, it really just depends on what you want your game to look like.

Peace.
