(I thought I posted this response like, two days ago) Yeah v3 isn't working out with me.... I can set the brightness of the ultra trees, but I have to set it very dark to work with my enb/weathers. And when I darken them (-15) they are way too saturated. And GIMP won't let me adjust the colors of the texture image without experiencing a terrible artifact around the edges of the trees, no matter how I save the image. I think I'll just live with the darker, less saturated trees for now. Unless anyone knows how to save the image without the artifact.

I 'think' I'm using DynDoLod 2.96... I've always noticed the brightness settings. Just trying to find that sweet spot.

Thanks! So... I halfway figured it out. It seems that somehow, the first time I ran DynDoLod, it used 'ultra trees' which is something new to me. I read up on how to make it generate ultra trees and that solved the distance problems, AND got rid of the stuttering while crossing cell borders. I'm currently working on getting it to use vurt's snowpines back in the game. Right now I'm just trying to get the 'ultra' trees to more closely match the model which they stand for. As of right now, they are way too tall and dark.

So... I'm working on a new LE build (please don't ask why I'm not running SSE), and I got to the point where I could go ahead and run DynDoLOD. Just using Skyrim's Ultra graphics setting, and DynDoLod's high setting for Tamriel, I was blown away by just how many trees and how far out they were drawn with The Great Forest of Whiterun Hold. While walking down the path from the Ritual Stone towards the city, I could see trees out to the edge of the mountains. And here's the best part: NO STUTTERING! So, a few days later, I decide I want to use Vert's snow pine models. So I get the billboards for those setup and run DynDoLOD, same Skyrimprefs.ini settings as before, same DynDoLOD settings... and now... walking down the same path... the trees aren't even drawn past Whiterun I double check everything and run DynDoLOD again... same results... very poor tree LOD distance. I go and check my Skyrimprefs.ini... ftreeloaddistance is still set to 75000 as it was the first time I ran DynDoLOD. So I push that value up to 100000... tree LODs still aren't drawn out as far as they were the first time... and now it's stuttering. In order to get the trees drawn out as far as the first time I ran DynDoLOD, I had to set ftreeloaddistance to 250000!! And the game was unplayable. :\ Darnit, what gives?! Is it DynDoLOD or the game? The only thing, and I mean the ONLY thing that I changed was adding Vurt's snow pine trees, and their associated billboards. I didn't change any INI settings, or DynDoLOD setting in between LOD generation... This is how it looked, and performed astonishingly well with no stuttering, using Beth's vanilla Ultra graphics settings and DynDoLOD's high mesh rules. [TerrainManager] fTreeLoadDistance=75000 fBlockMaximumDistance=250000 fBlockLevel1Distance=70000 fBlockLevel0Distance=35000 fSplitDistanceMult=1.5 And now after adding Vurt's snow pines and the associated billboards... Rhe mountain isn't missing in this pic, it's just covered by fog. Use the roof of Joorvaskr for refence to tree draw distance. [TerrainManager] fTreeLoadDistance=75000 fBlockMaximumDistance=250000 fBlockLevel1Distance=70000 fBlockLevel0Distance=35000 fSplitDistanceMult=1.5 Some machine specs, if it helps...
