This isn't a question per say, but if anyone has any tips on getting ENB to work well with the grass billboards, let me know. I've spent literally hours trying to get the billboards and the grass to look similar in terms of lighting and colors, but I just haven't been able to get it right. The meshes are simply lit way too differently, and I've tried to modify settings both on the ENB side and on the Dyndolod. Without ENB the billboards blend easily enough with the actual grass. With ENB lighting though, it's a pain in the ass.

So if anyone has any particular settings that work well for their setup, I'd be interested to know what those settings are. For those wondering, I'm currently using Rudy ENB for Cathedral weather. But I'm open to settings from any other ENB and weather mods.

Thanks.

Hm, I dont know of I could provide any support in this matter, but since my grass looks perfect you could perhaps try the same setup as me?

grassmod: Verdant

Enb: Silent Horizons for Cathedral Weathers

grass brightness multipliers: all default

Was able to run texgen all the way but had to lower all the quality settings to a minimum otherwise it says "insufficient memory" and shut downs. But it still cant write the version.ini file. Any workaround that? Can I just copy someone else version.ini?

 

Here is the debug log (to big toupload) : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1K55VcxWOfIsqMNl2TNMF9W8TpeZvpWaI/view?usp=sharing

Define which settings were set to what. Run with defaults and upload bugreport and debug log of the memory error.

As explained earlier, if a file can not be created it is because the OS, UAC, antiv or or some other process blocks access.

I'm posting this in the hope that it might help anyone who had trouble like I did with ENB and the grass billboard. After much testing, I discovered that the setting that truly screwed up the grass billboard colors is the ENB feature of Image Based Lighting. Any other ENB preset that doesn't use IBL will likely not encounter any issues with getting the grass billboard to look right.

IBL can look nice, but personally, I prefer having long distance grass that stretches to the horizon

Some of IBL's looks can be simulated using a combination of tweaking bloom, direct lighting, and ambience. Worst come to worst, there are certain effects from Reshade that you can add on top of ENB that can achieves similar look without screwing up the grass billboard colors at little to no cost in fps. After tweaking Rudy's ENB without IBL, the grass billboard looks great.

Thank you to everyone who provided answers and advice. Your help was appreciated.

I'm having this error

Can not find file meshes\bsmorrowind\daedric\rtmstatueazura_lod.nif.
Make sure the DynDOLOD Resources SE archive downloaded completely and all the required Core Files have been installed.

I have redownloaded the files several times, but the error still comes. This error didn't occur when I had the normal resources (not the 3.0)

Can I get some help?

You are using the wrong data. Read the OP carefully. There are resources for SLE and SSE, so you are using the wrong one. Re-downloading the wrong file cannot make the error go away.

Another possibility is that you have another resources version installed and conflicting with the correct one, or your resources mod is not installed properly or not active.

im constantly getting this error on texgen, and the help page says that its because the OS or antivirus is blocking write access to folder location, but ive tried different drive outputs, folders, etc.

[z929669]

If you have DynDOLOD installed under Program Files, this could be an issue, since that is under UAC management ... see some advice. If you are running MO or Vortex, try always running as admin. You can set the TexGenx64.exe and DynDOLODx64.exe to always run as admin as well, but not sure if that works when running via mod manager.

Finally, go into your AV app and whitelist mod manager EXE and TexGenx64.exe and DynDOLODx64.exe

I figured it out, it was an issue with my skyrim.ini

Use the latest version of DynDOLOD 3 Alpha standalone with the latest version of DynDOLOD Resources SE 3 Alpha.

Getting the above error now, Seems to centre around the Unofficial Skyrim Patch, but if I disable I get a DawnGaurd.esm error later on.

Didn't get the above error before until now. I done this loads of times with version 3. No idea why its coming up now.
