POSTING THE ENBSERIES BINARY FILES ON NEXUS SITES IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED
This is incomplete test version for feedback and some things of it are subjects of change. It's not recommended to modify existing presets for it yet. Added curve parameter for moons. Added [SKYSCATTERING] category to improve game sky system. Added EnableCloudsScattering parameter and lighting effect for game clouds.
This is just the mod with default preset, download customized presets and shaders from the forum or other sites (Nexus).
Highly recommended TES Skyrim bug fix of game objects like fire, water particles, doors, vegetables, candles, etc is available here
v0.499: Former Patreon optimized version with some adjustments. Added fog to water reflections. Decreased time to apply changes in editor for cpu with more than 6 cores. Fixed distant shadows for lod trees. Fixed bug of indirect lighting when sun or sky intensity is huge. Fixed bug of the game volumetric rays when big values of their intensity makes picture darker. Fixed clouds transparency for clouds shadows and sun rays, which didn't work correct when several clouds layers mixed. Reduced glitches of ambient occlusion which appeared after optimization last year. Limited amount and intensity of ambient occlusion to not allow absurdly high levels of them. Little bit sorted categories to make more sense in their order. Fixed lag from water when cells loading. Increased limit of sun glare intensity and il compression. Changed how detailed shadows applied to the complex grass to have subsurface scattering more visible. Applied dynamic cubemap for wetness effect to reduce some bugs. Added LinuxVersion parameter to enblocal.ini and removed separate version for this OS.
v0.494: Ported optimizations and quality improvements from Patreon version for rain, water, underwater, sky, shadow and various minor cpu optimizations. Tweaked complex parallax a bit. Disabled parallax shadow for objects with back lighting flag to avoid visual artifacts. Added complex material to non specular meshes to fix visual bugs with lod switching by distance. Added dynamic cubemaps which activated for objects with 1px size cubemaps. Very useful to make reflective surfaces more realistic, including metallic of complex material. New parameter ApplyDynamicCubemapEverywhere in the editor window is not stored in the enbseries.ini for compatibility with mods which strongly require static cubemaps, so if you need this effect, activate parameter ApplyDynamicCubemapEverywhere every time. Added EnableDynamicCubemap parameter to toggle effect globally. Fixed bug with non updating exterior cubemap when forced dynamic cubemap everywhere parameter is disabled. Fixed overly bright dynamic cubemaps, which was caused by math of static cubemaps. Added reflection parameters to the [EYE] category and applied dynamic cubemaps to eyes. Added skylighting influence on dynamic cubemaps and default cubemap texture as modders resource. Adjusted clouds shadows to make them visible in reflections at bigger distances. Added default parameter support of dropdown menu item. Improved detection of WindowLight to stop spell decals from glowing.
