:lol So true, eventually the really good mods will surface. Now, it's a quick race to be first.

HAH, that's what it feels like.
See, I was looking at the images using the arrows, so it didn't show the "before" or "after" labels. I was under the assumption that all those were the retextured surfaces. So I'm slightly relieved that the jarring first impression I had was an error on my part.

No More Blocky Faces is a must and I also like Detailed Faces but otherwise there's not much out there yet, although that's only natural given how recently the game was released.
I wonder if Timeslip (I think) is still active. SSAO seems like the sort of thing he would do.
Edit: Good god, that mod'ed bridge is awful.
The FXAA Injector is pretty good to spice up the colours if you hated the cold, bleak and dull look.

I play it in 3D on my projector and a 100 inch screen. Apart from some of the sky bits being at the wrong depth and something a bit strange going on with the water it's just about perfect.
It's a very immersive experience. I love trudging through the snow. Very realistic.

Thanks, I've been waiting to use this but there weren't any settings available. Should I back up anything before I install this, and is it easy to turn on/off?
edit: I just don't want to risk messing up my saves!

The best ones are certainly in the OP. I have sunglare and better nighttime enabled, they are subtle but are a nice visual enhancement.
That's awesome. Where can I get this? Can't seem to find it.Sutton Dagger said:This is the only texture you need to make Skyrim the perfect game.

I see what you're getting at, but YES, I do stop and admire the scenery in this game more than any other since the Witcher 2... and I wouldn't stop doing it for the world... It's 16 square miles of hand crafted, feasibly put-together greatness.... every rock has been put there by someone to add to the immersion...
So Yes...
And in my honest opinion, if you DON'T... you shouldn't have bought this game or don't know what it's about...
That being said, I'm playing vanilla until a well thought out complete overhaul that doesn't jepordize the art direction comes out...

"FOV
Thanks to Aptos (tested/confirmed byPazuzu9)
Add the following to the MyDocuments Skyrim.ini under [Display]
fDefaultWorldFOV=XX (ex.fDefaultWorldFOV=85)
fDefault1stPersonFOV=XX.XXXX (ex.fDefault1stPersonFOV=85.0000)
fDefaultFOV=XX.XXXX"

Just took some quick screenshots with the FXAA Injector mod. I didn't realise it had the presets to choose from. Set at high saturation at the moment, but I'll end up changing some of the settings I think. I do like how it makes everything look hand-drawn at the moment though.

Wow I really like those screens using the injector. I tried it but didn't notice a difference. Now that there are some setting out there ill mess with it.

Another FXAA Injector comparison. It's not realistic by any means, but I don't think I can go back to playing without it now. Vanilla just looks really washed out to me.

The enemy health appears at the top of the screen? Or do you want numbers or something...Nekrono said:
I'm not sure why LiquidMetal put that last fDefaultFOV=XX.XXXX line in the OP. I only have the first two lines in my skyrim.ini file...CabbageRed said:
It's not resetting when I check the map, but it seems it's still happening for some people...

I certainly do, hence my attestation that texture modders really don't need to heavily focus on the exterior landscapes. As it stands, most of looks really nice.

I agree, but some people seem to prefer the world to have that drab, washed out look to it. Makes it more "authentic, high fantasy" or something._tetsuo_ said:

Username quote would be too easy.
This is Gamebryo, through and through. Anyone saying otherwise is ignorant and/or eating the BS disinformation that Bethesda has put out there.
It's like saying the Call of Duty games don't run on a heavily modified Quake 3 engine... Infinity Ward can say whatever the hell they want, but every COD has run on an engine with legacy Quake 3 code in it.

Wow, that's some horrific black crush going on. You lose so much fidelity on the bow, for example.
Way too overdone. I'd love to see one of these done by someone who knows how to properly balance colors and contrast.

You can tweak those settings yourself. Looking at both screens I'm not seeing this loss of fidelity on the bow.

Not sure, how do you know it's not working?
Bungieware said:
Yeah, but I don't have an artist's eye. There are some professionals out there that really know their shit and could use that FXAA to make some incredible color rendering changes. I am not one of those people.
Look up 'black crush'. That's what's going on in that scene.

I think it's working now? I could see a blurry mess of hills/rocks in the distance and decided to change the ugrid to 7 as suggested. It now looks heaps better even at that same distance, so that's what it's meant to do, right?
