Beautiful Skyrim - K - ENB

[Unreal Warfare]

K - ENB by Kyokushinoyama

Please view the included README before installation. Please note that the required ENB 0.132 Binary is included with this file if you download it from Beautiful Skyrim, so there is no need to download it from enbdev.com.


Author's Note

I never meant to release this setup.
I surely don't release it for popularity, and if you ever enjoy it or if you ever feel like endorsing it, please instead do endorse people I give Credits to.
K ENB wasn't designed for balance, for the largest audience or to be true to the original game.
So if you're searching for a Vanilla enhancer, you won't find it here.
K ENB features twisted codes, non-academic or adviced values, experimentations.
I designed this setup for my personal usage, and there are only 2 reasons that make me release :
Respect shall be payed to Boris Vorontsov as much as we, ENB tweakers, can do. I wouldn't be playing Skyrim anymore since a long time if ENB hadn't exist.
Boris, we owe you. Nuff said.
I received lots of messages asking me for a try, and it'll be less time consuming for me uploading it here than answering each of these PMs.

Last thing, releasing is a good way to turn a tweaking page as well.

Second last thing : Midhras, my friend, the Skyrim ENB community misses you.





DISCLAIMER

Let's continue being frank and honest :

K ENB will NOT be supported
Sadly, I don't have time and energy for it.

::

K ENB will not be updated
Boris made such improvements lately that my future setups will be quite different from K. Life is changes.

::

K ENB will hit your performance badly, depending on the system you're running. In other words, YES, there will be a performance hit and it might be quite heavy.
I won't make it performance friendly and I can't adapt it to fit your system. I'd need your own PC for this.
However, best way to win back performance is using another DOF file than K ENB's one, wich is pretty intensive.
You'll find a ton of different enbeffectprepass.fx in K ENB's optional files

::

K ENB is NOT compatible with Climates of Tamriel, Realistic Lighting or ANY other weather, imagespace modifier, and NEVER will be.
ENB can enhance and ENB can modify. This 'tool' is so huge it covers a wide spectrum of possibilities. You can enhance on enhancements.
But to modify on modifications shouldn't be adviced.
Comments on how adapting K ENB for Climates of Tamriel or any other weather-lighting modifier will not be answered.
Requests about it will not be answered. Forgive me

::

K ENB will never include performance options, tweaking advices, or optional effects.
See reasons above.
However, a TON of optional DOFs are provided in the optional files, if you can't take the hit of the default one

::

I won't advice about the textures I'm using, game inis and mods.
To each his own, depending on systems.

::

None of the screenshots featured on this page was edited.
I'm not around to sell anything, I just want to share some things I enjoyed.

::

I've been around a lot before, and I did provide, as much as I could, advices and help on my previous ENBs pages or in other places.
If you're searching for advices, you'll find a lot around.
The only ones I'll give you are : DO VISIT enbdev, DO READ Boris Vorontsov's documentation, DO READ the files themselves and DON'T EXPECT ENB to make Skyrim DX13 or to run full features @120 FPS. It won't save the world either.

::

If you want to run another DOF, tweak this setup, burn this setup, feel free to do. Then, please don't complain.
BUT : be respectfull enough for not reuploading these files calling them yours only by changing some decimal values.
Now if you can sleep doing so, after all, so can I.
In other words, forgive me for being straight : take it or leave it.

::

This is not me being infatuated or thinking my setup might be better or worse than anyone out there.
On the contrary, I'm trying to be as humble and honest as anyone of us, simple tweakers, have to be and I don't want to make any promises I won't keep.
