!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - 
Make sure to install Silent Horizons 2 Shader Core into your Skyrim installation folder first, and then overwrite with my package file.
Anytime you uninstall, reinstall, or switch ENBs make sure to delete your enbcache folder. - !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I have also included a little update for your SkyrimPrefs.ini, which increases Volumetric Rays, and Game Volumetric Rays to a setting, which should increase the quality of these particles. I am not exactly sure how heavy it will be for mid-range to low-end hardware, so if it brings FPS down too much - go ahead and just delete the SkyrimPrefs.ini from my installation folder.

If you are using a Wabbajack list, and wish to utilize the improved Volumetric Settings, please copy the text from the SkyrimPrefs.ini text file, and open your lists installation directory, and search for the profiles folder. Open that folder up, and go to the profile which you are using, and paste the copied text under the [Display] section within SkyrimPrefs.ini

Recommended Mods:


These compliment the ENB well :)

Lux (Non-brighter template)
Lux Orbis
ENB Particle Patch
Enhanced Volumetric Lighting & Shadows (EVLaS)
Embers XD - whichever choice you prefer
KreatE
dBottle's Vanilla Skies enhanced are also very nice - they react differently to sun and moonlight in comparison to the Iconic Upscale
Skygazer Moons - No Glow Option

Sky, and Terrain Textures are all up to taste.



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Features:

-New Lands Support for Wyrmstooth, Vigilant, Glenmoril, Darkend, Beyond Reach, Beyond Skyrim: Bruma, DAc0da, and Death Consumes All.

-Unique and independently tuned interiors, all with their own lighting, particles, color adjustments, and character. From Blackreach to Bleak Falls Barrow, and from the Cave in Helgen to the Halls of Sovngarde.

-Custom Tonemapping utilizing the sleek and responsive Silent Horizons 2 Tonemapper.

-Dither effect for sky banding, and a bit of a Textured Painting/Displate effect to the games image on screen.

-Fully customized Sharpening, which provides clarity of image, without creating harsh texture ugliness.

-Customized and tailored Depth of Field, built from the ground up by MartyMcFly - Tuned for screenshots and gameplay.

-Frazetta Human Eye Like Temporal Glare Sunsprite, which mimics the way the sun appears when looked at from the human eye (minus the blinding part!)

-Personally handcrafted LUTs, plus some Cinema Grade Professional LUTs by Cullen Kelly which come fully implemented for use in this ENB, you can tailor the colors in this ENB to reflect what you want, and are not required to follow my artistic vision whatsoever.

-Atmospheric but non invasive Bloom which should never overpower a scene.

-Prepass effects from the former, but not the lesser Silent Horizons 1 as well. Converted for use with ENB Extender by LonelyKitsuune.

-Advanced Adaptation Shader, keeping you from losing focus while moving from dark to light environments, or glancing from the Sun back to the earth you run upon.

There are a few people who have left me inspired in these last years, who I feel as though deserve all of the praise in the world for what they do, harvesting an environment which fosters creativity, and sharing good ideas with one another. I just want to say thank you to those of you listed below, you truly inspire me to learn, absorb, practice, fail, and continue every moment no matter what in the quest to learn more. It truly is amazing what some people are capable of. You know Skyrim screenshots are a thing of beauty, and without the beauty of code, this game we play would not look the way it does. If you know a 3D Shader Coder, Developer, Colorist, Photographer, Musician anything, just realize that the beauty of their art is not only what can be seen.

Boris Vorontsov - For being himself and giving us all somewhere to express our creativity through ENB. What is a painter without a canvas?
Lonely Kitsuune - For being an amazing person and providing a platform to work with in Silent Horizons :)
MartyMcModding/Pascal Gilcher - For doing so much for the ENB community, and being a fantastic learning resource for so many who came before me. And for a fantastic DoF shader.
Marmotte - Helped me to setup proper looking SSS settings for character skin screenshots :)
Ink/iinkatate - helped me dial in my eyes, and SSAO/SSIL settings, and inspired me with what they show in Kitsuune's discord.
