Mesh problem - SMIM's smeltermarker.nif causes flashing with ENB 

 

I am not the only one that have this problem. There are many reports on Nexus, Reddit and here on STEP. This problem disappeared when I hide this mesh from SMIM and using smeltermarker.nif from USKP.

 

Check this video out. This is not my video, but shows the same problem. 

Mine is not as bad as this video, but quite annoying.

 

 

There is no fix from Brumbek yet. 

 

Anyone can help? SparrowPrince? :)

Yup, been annoyed by this problem too for a while. My solution was also to hide the mesh. I also have similar flashing happen to carriages, but haven't tried figuring out what is causing that.

Had this even been reported? Brumbek is usually good at providing fixes.

If youre going to report it then add the carriage to the problem. I've noticed this and there was a small discussion on it, it seems to only happen with some ENBs, Vividian is pretty consistent.

To get the carriage to flash, "coc riverwood" from main menu and walk toward whiterun.

Brumbek knew about it. He posted on nexus in July 2015 that he could not replicate the problem, and he does not use ENB.  

 

I never have a problem with carriage.

I've not an issue with either and I use ENB if I'm actually playing and not testing.

I just watched the vid, wow, I have never seen that happen.

It usually flashes 2 or 3 times when the object is spawning but that is it.

That is what I experienced as well. The severity of the problem in the video may be from that specific ENB.

I tried to compare 2 meshes from USKP and SMIM in NifScope. They are very different (obviously). Will need someone with much more knowledge about mesh editing to help fixing it.

I hide this SMIM's mesh for now and add Skysight HD Smelter texture. My smelter looks fine now without flashing.  

 

Still want to fix it though. I am hopeless with NifScope.

Thanks for your workaround, I've encountered this on a regular base while using Tundra ENB. Here's my screens, it doesn't occur only 2 or 3 times but is totally replicable.

 

 

What is wrong with hiding the mesh by the way? Seems like a fine solution to me or does it look odd somehow?

SMIM changes the texture paths inside the mesh to point to SMIM's own smelter textures. So if you hide the mesh, smelter will have the vanilla look. Definitely better than these annoying flashes though.

Use Skysight HD Smelter texture. It looks awesome.
