    Sounds like an issue on your side. Myrkvior looks pretty good, but the LOD trees can be less that ideal unless you get the TexGen and DynDOLOD settings just right. Not sure what you mean about EVT, but it looks fantastic on my setup using the settings posted in the Step guide (the ones you had been using). We use the Lush version with default textures, but all of the LOD look good if you pick the right textures for that one (there are many texture options, ans some may require tweaks to lighting in TexGen/DynDOLOD). This is why we use that mod in Step. HLT also looks really good. Those SFO LOD trees are not billboards in LOD4. They are probably Level0. So the billboard brightness settings don't impact these. The ones in your second image in LOD8 look like billboards, and too dark IMO. I also think you need to raise TreeMSAlphaThreshold=144 in TexGen_SSE.ini to make those billboards look less blotchy.

    It really depends on the tree LOD models and the lighting used in TexGen/DynDOLOD. The settings you are using are optimal for EVT, but for Myrkvior you may want to play with direct/ambient in TexGen for HD tree and tree brightness in DynDOLOD_SSE.ini. The pines in that mod tend to have brighter tops in LOD. I think the light/heavy snow textures could also be muted if you are running Cathedral Landscapes (the terrain settings you are using are optimized for that). ENB also can help.

    As long as you don't have the optional billboards installed, you should be good on that. You should post on the DynDOLOD support forums for assistance (note the posting rules at top of page).

    Yes, what Tech says is correct ... if you are using a tree mod with proper LOD models, then DynDOLOD 3 will create accurate billboards and billboard.txt files. Keep in mind that some tree mods will install tree billboards (or even pregenerated LOD) without making it entirely obvious. If you tell us the tree mod and the install options you used, it would help to clarify. Either way, you are best off posting in the DynDOLOD support forums with the logs as specified over there.

    Don't use 3rd party billboards with DynDOLOD 3. Post on the DynDOLOD support forums with logs for assistance.
  6. z929669
    I'm not sure, but I would if you find no warnings on Google
  7. z929669
    WTT works fine with LODGen, and it's best to not provide pregenerated LOD, since it is specific to each user's LO. If people have problems, it's not your mod causing them. Point them to the DynDOLOD support forums over here. We may well be including this mod in our next release. Only DYs concern in previous post remains TBD. I vote to accept

    sheson has no affiliation with the Step guides. We simply host his DynDOLOD support forums and offer up guided instructions for using DynDOLOD with our setup

    The hotfix does what it says in the file description, so you should probably use it. It was fixed today, because the previous hotfix wasn't working. I'm unsure if the Dawnstar roots problem exists with the pines only install, so that plugin hotfix isn't included yet.
  10. z929669
    The hotfix isn't critical for DynDOLOD, but I would add it first anyway
  11. z929669
    Yeah, that FOMOD would be very easy to mess up when updating ... and updating would be a PITA, so it isn't reliable
  12. z929669
    See forum posting rules in the parent forum and the OP. Log files needed for DynDOLOD. Those will possibly provide useful related xEdit errors.
  13. z929669
    What mod are you using for trees specifically ... what file and version? I had to maximize the image to see what you mean. It's a small horizontal line just above billboard trees. What is your tree mesh rule? Try TFC in the console to get closer to the billboard. Please provide the tree name of the affected billboards (e.g., treepineforestsnowl01.nif) It looks like you could possibly resolve to some extent with an adjustment to TreeMSAlphaThreshold in TexGen_SSE.ini ... maybe 144 or something like that. I doubt this is a DynDOLOD issue. It's probably the texture UV being off or having some noise where it's not wanted.

    Updated mod to fix a couple of the LOD models with missing/wrong CRC32 and redid the crown for one of these, since the source model had changed.
  16. z929669
    Updated this one to v1.02. This removes the deleted plugin reference in treescale.esm and fixes the snowy firewood you posted previously. It also fixes a couple of other bugs reported. See changelog for details. Also updated the Add-On mod, as there were two problem LOD models in those..
  17. z929669
    You're right, I will modify with a note. Basic does not have the size option.
  18. z929669
    I was mistaken. We only have two additional XP mods in the guide: Regardless, I support using only the meshes from XP32, and I also seem to have restricted many assets from this mod (forget when and why, but likely related to this conversation):
  19. z929669
    This is the FOMOD:
  20. z929669
    Nice. I will give it a try
  21. z929669
    I am all for using only the skeleton from XP32 and only if it's needed for other mods (e.g., ragdoll behavior). I don't think we have ever used the respective add-on animations that may require it. It would eliminate several mods that would then be redundant. What @Mousetick describes makes sense. I also found this post. I honestly have not done any analysis of XP32 and related, so let's see what @TechAngel85, @DoubleYou, and @Greg think. This discussion relates to at least 4 mods we are using I think.
  22. z929669
    In the case of ELFX mods, we don't want any of the lighting or other changes the plugin makes. We just want the more light-responsive and improved meshes, so yes, the FX are either redundant or not wanted.
  23. z929669
    Doh! I saw that yet failed to associate. Thanks for pointing it out.
  24. z929669
    Sometimes assets don't load properly in a heavy build, depending on many things, including your hardware/drivers. You may want to revisit the BethINI setup in Performance Tuning to be certain you have correct INI settings.

    Discussion topic: Immersive First Person View by meh321 Wiki Link This allegedly allows first-person grass collision to be visible. It obviously also is a feature that just makes sense, IMO.
