    10 Years from now somebody surely has implemented Nanite and Lumen from UE5 in Skyrim ...

    Holy f#€£ ! This is utterly insane!!! Excellent work as always!

    Question though: how will this affect existing armours that have their materials made to be shiny for the base game? I’m unsure if this is what you mean by “supporting true PBR textures”.

      There's now before-after gifs, the visual practical result looks like pre-existing armours can be darker, or comparitively brighter in the Nordic armour one.
      If I had to guess how it works though I would extrapolate modern PBR engine values like "metallicness" by the brightness of the environment/cube map by the vividness of the specular map if there's one. But I'm not a dev on this, just thinking out loud in the absense.

      Yes the maps are converted. For metals they take the diffuse colour + environment map colour blended by the env map mask into the f0 term, and the base colour has colour removed. This means that metals are not diffusely lit, only specular.

      Sorry, the PBR one is actually darker... Maybe I should retake that shot.

      Oh, I didn’t phrase my question very well. I actually meant to ask about mod added armours whose metallic parts are made more reflective through some clever use of vanilla materials. The Skyblivion project has armours that look sort of similar to what you showcase here. My question is - how do you suppose such armours will look using this rendering technique?

      You need properly environment mapped meshes. The ones in the screenshots are from Modular Armory. Without it, metals do not reflect anything at all.

    Good luck, i hope that developping ("modding") at this level is enjoyable for you and yours collegues! It's probably a massive headache to hack a 12 years old engine in such way.
