The High-Res Screenshot Thread!

Realistic lighting mod, its good for pretty screenshots but is useless for actual gameplay, made it my goal to get an ENB that worked well without it.

The thing is popular enb's are popular because they look good without needing to tweak. I don't understand why you've sat and probably spent a while tweaking your game when there's hundreds of other screenshots I've seen which use one of the "generic" enb's and they look better than your "modded enb" screenshots...
 
Because its your opinion, I respect that you've never seen what a real river looks like at sunset, so a post processed mess is gonna trick you into thinking its the daddy. The vanilla lighting in Skyrim is near perfect, its just low quality, so naturally tweaking to get an enhanced version of that is desirable.

I dunno if you have noticed, but most ENB's make actual gameplay a complete chore, but do you even have Skyrim to know that? Like somebody said a while ago, and like Buch said, the majority of the ENB's look plastic, made of wax or look like they have been played on an old 80's TV. Same goes with the standard ICEnhancer, it just looks tacky and cheap, hence why so many people tweak the 'popular' ENB to get it looking good.

I've seen a real river at sunset thanks. And yes I do have Skyrim, plenty of the stock ENB's are fine and didn't make gameplay a chore at all.
 
My ENB is just a 'stock' version of 'The Wilds'... I tweaked my .ini to get a lot of the other effects.

I personally cannot play with the over saturated mess most ENB's are. I only want one to enhance whats already there, give SSAO, free SMAA, texture depth, motion blur etc. I don't want all that horrible cheap bloom.

Motion blur is horrible. AA looks much better when forced through CCC but your 6850 probably doesn't cope with proper AA well on Skyrim.

My 6850 copes perfectly well with all types of AA besides supersampled thanks, do you even realize how good SMAA is?

+1 It's not a case of who's screenshot looks better but what the actual player enjoys.

I know, that's what every single one of my posts has said? This is just Spenty being Spenty and trying to get a reaction. ;)

I am genuinely amazed nobodies killed you yet.

It's also amazing how good Metro looks, it has done a lot for the visuals of games IMO.

As for Skyrim, while I respect the vibrant, saturated, fantasy look a lot of ENB's have, I think the creator of The Wilds has done an amazing job of creating a gritty, cold and realistic ENB, can't wait to be able to run with SSAO.

Blimey guys, its only a flippin game.

Just so you know Omaeka: I didn't just chuck an ENB config in my Skyrim folder, but created this config myself starting from ENB_TV... I would still call it as work in progress, but it takes time.

Whether you like it or not really does not matter as I'm not doing it for you... stick to what you like and leave others to follow their own path... what ever you say will make no difference to me ;)

But just for balance... yours is washed-out and over-bright - basically ugly :eek: but its fine, as you like it ;)

BTW waxy look is caused by over high specular, something I've lowered to reduce the shine on models.

In exchange for you no longer consuming oxygen, I'll happily oblige, sound like a deal?

Red, I never said anything against your ENB, I just found it funny somebody pointed out they looked waxy, which they did, looks better now you've fixed it up. Have never been able to get on with the letterbox, myself.
