DynDOLOD Beta for Skyrim Special Edition, Skyrim VR and Enderal SE 2.98

Quick dumb question.  LOOT reshuffled my load order so that it doesn't match the order when DynDOLOD was generated.  I don't think that this should matter, but wanted to confirm.  Thanks.

There was no question and in reality nobody else but you can know if the changing the order has consequences or not.

The DynDOLOD LOD mod and plugins are laughably simple, some base records and references mostly self contained and some overwrites. It is possible that some of those intended overwrites are now loaded too early or actually reverting something because the source plugin or changed, which can result in unforeseen visual problems.

Thanks.  If I notice anything weird, I can rerun it.

 

(next next I will make sure to phrase it in the form of a question, Alex Trebek)

I try new version of DynDoLOD and new mod Cresty's Distant Mists

 

Mist look overbright and move fast as smoke.

Are you saying DynDOLOD is changing how the mist meshes look?

Yes. If I add mist after generating, it's look another (DynDoLOD.esp always last in order).

The mists seem to behave like in the video without DynDOLOD, Make sure to compare same weather and time of day etc. In any case, the next DynDOLOD version will have a mesh rule to ignore the mist meshes so the infinite version works as intended.

About my problem with Pure Waterfalls. With new version of dyndolod and set esp as esm, flickering go away.

Good afternoon

 

I have a small issue with Dyndolod. Some of the LODs are sticking out of the fog / mist. On a clear day, they look great but when the weather gets foggy, it's looks a little strange. Any ideas what could be the cause? Did i forget to check an option when i first ran it?

DynDOLOD is a set of tools to update textures and generate LOD. None of this changes weathers, fogs, image spaces, shaders or how the engine works. Look at ENBs, weather mods etc.

Ok. Thanks. I will check that. Just wanted to make sure it was not an option i might have overlooked.

Hi, in your thread for xlodgen you have recommended settings for first time users... is there anything like that here that I'm missing or do I just use the wizard ... and keep whatever settings are toggled by default in the advanced tab?

As explained before - also for xLODGen - the initial settings are sane defaults, however recommendations can not be given because every load order, hardware and personal preference is different.

 

Use low, medium or high wizard mode. Advanced settings are for advanced users that have read the manual so they can generate with different settings themselves in order to compare results.

On a follow up do you recommend any specific LOD ranges and multipliers for DynDoLod? I am using BethINI and usually just go with their preset "ultra" But for you personally what do you find is the ideal object lod distance and multiplier?

 

Also I seem to get some subtle shimmering on the whiterun stone walls around maybe at the level 4 lod? I've done a bit of reading and can't really find an expansion, some people suggest fov, AF being too high or z-fighting.

The distance settings depend on the load order, hardware and personal preference of the user.

 

Subtle shimmering sounds like aliasing or ambient occlusion.
