SKYRIMLE Vivid Weathers - a complete Weather and Visual overhaul

[Aiyen]

The sunglass effect happens every time you start to make tweaks to the gamma, or brightness. Which is why you should not do that. It should just be 2.2 and/or 1.0 and then left there. If you deviate from this you get into regions where the compensations become rather weird really quickly. IE stuff that should behave linearly does not etc. 

 

The brightness is a fundamental setting that all the other post processing is built upon, just like the base colors in the weather. You can only tweak a given base so far. 

 

But you know all this manga! Hence why I found it a bit weird you went for that sort of thing (other than the coolness of having mcm control), since you should know that people just cant figure out how to properly calibrate their monitors, and it is never the users fault if "fancy graphics stuff" looks wrong on their end! :D

Calibrating monitor with hardware colorimeter is essential to me. Older colorimeter is relatively cheap and give massive improvement in visual quality regardless of panel type (TN or IPS).

damn you are faster than me :D

[Mandalay]

because i was expecting it Manga ! ;-)

So far I'm liking what I see here. I have to say that the vanilla saturation seems to be a more saturated than vanilla actually is, though. The colors are more vibrant than normal vanilla.

@TechnAngel85

 

on your last post, you use vivid weather enb, the new patch for vividian or no one of these two ?

[TechAngel85]

No ENB. Just the base mod.

[Shadriss]

YAY! It's like Christmas, Birthday, and 11-11-11 all in one... but with more pretties. Thanks for this Manga... truly, thanks.

 

Question on this: Vivid Weather replaces the need for the Clouds and Fogs addon to Vividian, correct? It makes sense for it to, but I like to be certain, as I didn't see it mentioned specifically.

Vivid weathers includes Clouds and fogs.

I think what manga did to the colors the vanilla sat is true.

Skyrim tired to make it feel cold but it always looked a little bit too drab.

[TechAngel85]

That is true, but I still think it's a bit too much. Somewhere between Vanilla and Low would have been more suited for a "vanilla" preset, imo. I'm sure I'll get used to it the more I play. I'm loving everything else I'm seeing so far.

[Mangaclub]

well "vanilla" means not skyrim colors, it means the mods default values.... we might relable those to "default" one day :D 

[Exoclyps]

I'd recommend going down that naming idea. I read on the modpage that Vanilla meant default and understood, but would have probably otherwise mistaken it for Vanilla game values.

[TechAngel85]

I certainly though it was "vanilla game values" and I read the mod page too. That might be worth a name change because anytime "vanilla" is used, one assumes "default game values" not "default mod values".

[TechAngel85]

I few observations where improvements could be made. I'm running the default settings and INIs are set properly. Installed is Relighting Skyrim and ELE - Interiors.

 

Distant LOD color is off from the fully rendered colors for the trees (using DynDOLOD for distant LODs):

 

The glow of the fires is far too orange and is reaching into the "fantasy" realm. I'm not sure if ELE -Exterior would help to correct this or not. Have yet to try it.
