      I've done a few mixed set in Fallout 4 recently and they often turn out quite nice, so I figured I do one for Skyrim as well, since I have so many images laying around the harddrive at the moment. I try to be a bit more selective when doing the mixed sets too, to get a better impact with the images. This set got very heavy in characters, but at least I've got a lot fo them...

      Many thanks, my friend!

    Beautiful set, love how you used the different LUT's to fit each image just right.

      Yeah, there are actually quite a lot of LUT's in use in these shots. It's nice to see them "behave" as they should in Skyrim, compared to Enderal where they often get a slight distortion.

      Thanks a lot, dear Cat!

      Thank you kindly, Dylan! Many different characters on display here, but I'm about to focus on a few travels with one character at the time. Sets are starting to piling up...

    Very cool images , and great work with the LUT's you've used , some nice variety with those also,..
    A cool outfit for your archer is that,.. the third from below,... she's also a great looking character.\
    Can't remember seeing her before,....

      Yepp, quite a lot of LUT's on display here! All the images are gathered from lots of different sets - obviously - whereas some are simply leftovers and others will return with their complete travels. It seems I've played the game more than I've uploaded images for the last couple of weeks due to the many shots laying all around my files and folders. Still trying to get some structure on those and that means posting them here at Nexus. I will probably focus on doing the Catwalk serie for a while, although I'm not sure I can call it an armor showcase any more...

      The elf archer has been shown before, but it's been very rarely. I haven't done a travel with her, so she has only appeared in a few shots here and there and also for an Elegance on Sunday, because of that neat looking armor - Vogue Rogue Armor.

      call me stupid, but what exactly is a LUT? Mind giving a layman's explanation of how they work, and why I would want to add them to an ENB, or how difficult they are to add and tweak? I'm a beginner with the ENB stuff as far as tweaking is concerned.

      @ Deathneko11

      The best way to describe a LUT is by calling it a lens filter. It mostly comes with some extorted colour palette, stronger contrast, changed saturation or even muted tints. It's more or less a premade tweak that you can use "on the fly" without having to fiddle with the GUI settings of the ENB. It's very easy to use since you only need to check the LUT you want in a scroll list included in the ENB GUI.
      If you're good at what you're doing and know how to tweak an ENB, the LUT can still be a nice addition for some variety, but to me it's an essential displacer since I'm lousy at tweaking ENB's. That's more or less the reason to why I use LUT's - the simplicity and the grand diversity of different atmospheres already "shaped" for screenarchery.

      Some ENB's already have a few LUT's included, such as Snapdragon ENB or Caffeine ENB. Some can use LUT's if they're added, while others don't work that well with them. It's a bit of a test and try to see what will roll your way, so to speak. I'm using Caffeine ENB along with a mod called RevoLUTion which was entirely made for the possibility to add more variety. How to install them is explained on the mod page, so I recommend looking there, because the author does it a whole lot better than me. It's a very basic procedure though.

      I've taken thousands upon thousands of screenshots since 2015 when I started playing modded Skyrim and at first I more or less went for realism in my choice of ENB. But after so many adventures - and screenshots - the LUT's certainly changed my view of this dear old game. With each LUT, it's like a whole new world again. Some might not look good all the time, but I can assure you, there will always be interesting results. That's the reason I want them included in my ENB - they simply add so much variety and since you can easily switch as you play. I'm using Caffeine ENB along with RevoLUTion and this gives me about 55-56 LUT's to pick from - in-game - without any tiresome tweaking, so it won't hold your momentum of playing the game back. Upon all this, you can also still fiddle with the ENB as usual with any LUT selected which brings you to even more unique colour/contrast setups.

      That's really the best I can do in describing a LUT, but often images themselves tell this a lot better, so again, check out the RevoLUTion mod page, to see examples of each LUT and what they will do. No need to feeling stupid either, if we don't ask, we shall not learn...

      Excellentium explains it perfectly,.. perhaps helping in a search through the internet could be the literal meaning of LUT.
      It stands for LookUpTabel . So , you can pick up colors, combine them and then put them into a graphic preset, like Enb. (this is a very simplified version, but it is to give you an idea of what it actually does,.. )

    What a great compilation of images here Rick! I think my fave is this orc that body paint rocks on him.

    A close second is the redhead wearing the barbarian armour

      Thank you very much, Will! I feel I'm about to loose control of all the images on my harddrive - those not yet sorted that is - so a mixed set seemed like a good start to get a few new folders up...

      Both the orc and the redhead were taken for the Bodypaint Overlay 2 mod by DomainWolf. I helped out a bit with screenshots for some of the overlays and got a bunch of leftovers the author didn't use...although I do believe he included that orc shot actually.

      Thanks a lot for the kind words, Gordon! I've picked so many nice tunes recently, I'll probably shock you completely with a lovely black metal song any day now!

    These are fantastic my friend! Always a sucker for vertical and Nature images and you have a lovely selection here.

    Love the people who look like they are tied to Nature in some way or tribalism in a some way or another.

      Thanks a lot, my friend! Many of these were taken while doing screenshots for the Bodypaint Overlay 2 mod by DomainWolf, so that explains the nature/tribal essence in some of these. I've got a few more too, but instead of showing just one character with one bodypaint, I figured a mixed set with some added landscapes would be more diverse. I'm piling up on travel sets too, so I need to start upload a bunch of those...and it's deadline for the 19th theme tomorrow midnight. Busy, busy!

      That's quite a reaction! Thank you very much!

      It's funny how sweet some images can get just by roaming about in this gameworld. I often feel the most wonderful shots are those outside scripted events or not during questlines. It's the freedom of seeing it all, whenever we decide to, that surprises us with the most lovely captures. I'm not very much into staging scenes and such either - I just don't have the knowledge of doing so - and therefor my wanderlust and the rule of never fast travelling are my paths throughout this realm. So far it has shown me so much wonders and I'm happy some of it can rub off onto the viewer as well. Again, thank you kindly for your praise, and feel free to use whatever shot you see as a screensaver...
