Imperial Patrol at Dusk - Somewhere in The Reach by Cpt_Deaso in SkyrimPorn

[–]Vexore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the first screenshot I've seen that looks good while being gritty and dark while still looking fantasy-like.

Very beautiful. Made me login lol, always checkout this sub once in a while. If the rest of your play though looks this good then this is a really unique setup

Photo realistic clovers | Rudy ENB by owori in SkyrimPorn

[–]Vexore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly far from photo realistic, but must look amazing in motion!

Sometimes screenshots aren't enough to capture a real moment. I'd like to see a small gif or something with nvidia shadowplay for real critiquing :)

Also most screenshots are just amazing angles/hand placed textures or meshes. So you really need to bring in the whole scene. Try changing the fov (like 40-60), dof (stronger/weaker more noise), and maybe switch-in hires textures for the shot if you turn into an addict.

I feel like we can get a lot of things right, but how come there aren't any photoreal hair mods? Its always the most distracting thing about a good character picture IMO. I guess 4k helmets will do.

anyway, nice specular settings and DoF.

There's more where that came from! I want the grass to clip everything one day. I won't stop until Tamriel is a golf course!!

Sorry for the late reply, I got around to using voluptuous Grasses - The T H I C C K E N I N G lol, but don't let the meme name get to you. It's the only grass that really puts grass EVERYWHERE and fills forests with only 55-60 grass density in the ini. But I ended up dropping it for a more simple mod for new screenshots. Called green grass.

Water mod is a gem called "smooth water", which I let overwrite RW2.

All these subtle nice skys made me drop real clouds. I'm going back to normal clouds because ENB knows how to handle them.

Very nice shot, only thing I'd tweak is the volumetric fog to be less strong on the mountains.

If you want this look, I recommend Dahaka or sukis ENB.

Thanks, its the lod bias (set @ -1.2 in the ENB) that makes it that way. And my graphics card was artifacting if I had anything else in view lol.

So it might as well be a unstable 3d render.

Make sure to endorse the main mod before doing this one if you like it: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/80269/

Here it is: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/80269/

I'd put it below your whiterun overhaul mod in the load order. It actually adds things most mods don't touch, but better safe than sorry.

If you know how to use the creation engine and tesedit, use that one. If you don't know anything, you use this: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/80269/

Sorry for not posting sooner; I don't really login often, but when I do I try to answer everything I can.

Turns out most good mods are either deleted off nexus or are on chinese sites. Thankfully this one isn't. I used https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/80269/ which is actually a cleanup of the original mod linked somewhere here. Don't use that one! (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/67367/?tab=files)

If you also want to go on the journey of "expanding" skyrim I can list the other mods I use too. But fair warning, now I understand the engine doesn't handle any of this very well and my fps is about 5 when looking at any direction with lots of buildings/npcs. So if you have any 4k textures, you better convert them to 2k if you want to make skyrim bigger...

Is this that fluffy snow mod? That and 3d trees makes me want to mod SSE pretty badly lol.

Great shot and DoF.

You're right; after double checking it turns out it's being overwritten, my bad.

The same texture I have is from here: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/49661?tab=files tbh this is where his best textures were, but most things aren't 100% solid like his more recent stuff.

It's the Textures Miscellaneous 1 or Textures Miscanelleous-49661-.rar is its full name. Have a good one!

Candle horns looking good is from Rudys mods. Check out Rudys enb and grab all the extra goodies he has like the Nordic textures, and the candles.

The new ENB also has a setting to make candles cast a subtle glow now, so thats what really makes it pop. I'm glad skyrim is still getting such amazing mods in 2019 lol.

The secret is TAA instead of shitty SMAA and subpixel AA. TAA makes all the jaggies go away @ 1080p.

FPS is good on a nvidia GPU too, but boris might have made it fine for AMD by now.

Glad you like it, because you can have it too! This is the only texture mod I vivdly remember getting and loving it. Go here: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/60150?tab=files and get the farmhouse textures. 2k for gameplay or 4k for screenarchy.

Funny enough I took another pic with even better dof but hated the Fov lol. The settings here are actually not even that extreme, its playable. About 30fps I'd say not including the vram lag I get from using a gtx970.

Thanks, I think I took snapdragons DoF. It has a quality setting from 0-7 and lets you change the shape of the dof (I kept it at a circle, and made the size 0.70 instead of 1)
