Perfectionist tier is deprecated now

The biggest tier "Perfectionist" do not have any benefits from now. Initially i wanted it to be useful for screenarchers and other users who want to participate in development by requesting higher quality options and features of the ENBSeries for their own use, but in three months nobody did such requests. I don't want to make people disappointed and to avoid any kind of misunderstanding decided to keep this tier just as alternative without any benefits. Thanks everyone for your support, stay...

Normal Mapping Shadow effect article and shader demo

Published PDF article and demo application of NMS effect as didn't find it in google. Hope game developers will add it to their games, not just in the ENBSeries.

Foam is done

Spent so much time on making foam, was always not satisfied with result, changing and tweaking many things. All the time it looked like concrete or dye because of deferred lighting applied later on it by the game. So i tried to find method to reduce influence of usual lighting. Another problem is yellow color wrongly set for sun, so if i compencate it by making blue color of foam, it becomes much more realistic immediately. Maybe later (if will be enough interest) i will make animation for fo...

Detailed and bump shadows now available

GTA 5 have good enough shadow detail, so benefit of detailed shadows is tiny mostly for vegetations and some garbage. Bump shadows is effect which is never done before in any versions. There are some glitches yet need to fix.

Benefits for patrons

Working now on improving this Patreon page, adding tiers with benefits for people who support my work. Planned to develop early access versions, advanced quality options, feature requests, etc. It will take time to improve and update various versions of ENBSeries, hope will have positive feedback and interest from users. Programmable clouds as external shader is already requested feature, but at first I want to do less complex features, for example replace SSR for Skyrim SE, higher quality of...

Added sun rays effect and fixed specular for characters (which also available as separate mode from Aers). Sun rays are from Skyrim SE version, actually it was surprise looks good enough in stereo, cause effect is 2 dimentional. Hope you folks will like it.

Water and ColorPow in Skyrim SE v0.380

In recent 3 versions i did water effects which were under big doubt for Skyrim SE cause of huge number of shaders game using. And ColorPow is same as srgb (but tweakable) from old Skyrim modification and now Skyrim SE looks very much similar to old Skyrim, users can migrate to it.

Please don't expect me to answer here often

Folks, in Russia there are some stupid censorship taking place recently and sometime I am not able to log-in to Patreon, so cannot answer your messages or post something new. Also I'm not in to social networks which means I forget other places as well and do not show any activity. My forum is the only place which check regulary. Don't even know what kind of ways to use for saying thanks to patrons, cause there is nothing exclusive in my job, no nudity fanservice by myself, you know.

VR Ambient occlusion

One of ENBSeries features people like are ambient occlusion and indirect lighting, which mostly differ from such effects in games and few last years started to compute effects in same way i do it. But VR require very high performance at high resolution (especially with supersampling) and quality must be very good also for both eyes. My current implementation can't be optimized any more, it's already very fast for such effect and i need somehow made this effect in less than 1 millisecond on GTX10...

ENBSeries 0.340 for Skyrim VR is released

This version have many things implemented to mimic Skyrim SE version and what is important about it - compatibility by image result you get when using presets made for Skyrim SE or even enbseries.ini config file from old Skyrim (2011, but of course external shaders are incompatible). There are some minor things need to be separated and it is very complicated because i must test in the game world by searching objects and dump their information, but to do this in VR is hard for me, so will take ti...

First ENBSeries for Skyrim VR is released

Version 0.332 is released. It have some basic functionality about post processing and compatible with the most presets available, but not all of them, some must be converted. I have some weird behavior of Oculus or SteamVR services, which make system hang for several seconds very often, especially when mod is running, dunno what is this, but some signs make me think it is bad hooking of file I/O functions, threads issues and mayby even spying on everything I do, usually trojans have similar beha...

Thanks for support guys, got this for Skyrim VR modding. Struggling with "unknown device" bug when connecting it, but hope will find solution soon.

Skyrim VR

This game is popular after 7 years from first release and even recent VR edition of it is highly popular, as for VR title. There are many doubts about worth of making graphic mod for it, different opinions, but owners of VR helmets seems mostly positive about this idea. Maybe this game will push other game studios to make ports for their old games and bring VR to masses, I hope so. I understand that modded game is played a lot even now, but there is special type of mods, which probably most welc...
