I haven't updated my binaries since v308 or something, as I am using them with one of your GS ENBs (Hircine) and some DOF files I 'borrowed' from snapdragon, IF I need them anyway. Most of the time my DOF is disabled. I can't stand it for playing, it just literally makes me sick... ^^"
So well I never felt the urge or necessity to update my binaries, because, everything works, I haven't seen anything glitching out, although I'm not even using the fixed meshes (at least I can't remember ever installing them).
You ENBs were the first ones I found that got rid of the really really ugly horizon line MOST ENBs have. And well you know: Never change a running system.
So it's actually good to know that the newest binaries change how DOFs are handled, so that people like me, who get attacked by an update rush do not blindly updte EVERYTHING... ^^
Also Hircine and my other presets are really still configured based on the older binaries. When I update them I am mainly making sure they have the new parameters (usually set to default or off) and run okay. But the overall settings and looks stay consistent. Some complain about that but I like the look so I don't feel a need to change it. I do, however, try to improve things from time to time though. If I want to overhaul the looks, however, I would just do a new preset. But for now the 7 or so I have is enough pfft.
There are some nice things with 315 I like though so I did upgrade my own set ups from 308 to use 315. But that is more to handle DOF changes in a smoother fashion and to break them out to their own file. Luckily Boris make it real easy to convert to 315 - as you really only have to rename the old DOF file to the new name. Granted some DOF files use other things than DOF but so far that hasn't been an issue ... although eventually those would need to be cleaned up I think.
But since I can't, I chose the one that suited me best. And I will not, no no never ever touch them or tweak them or whatever else, I'd only break everything because I have NO idea what this option with that fancy name does, or what that option does or what you can do else, and to be honest I don't really want to have an idea either.
Not as long as there are people who release great ENB presets.
I've learned a lot since I owned my first PC, even way more since I started playing games like Oblivion, Skyrim and Fallout, I know what I'm doing installing mods manually and leaving out mod managers on purpose, I know the basics of CK to help myself, and I can fix most problems I have with mods on my own, but the deep graphical stuff is way too much for me.
I mean: I do have a graphics Card, I know its name and specification, I know what it's capable of, I know how to tweak it or add profiles for each game I play, that's it, and that's all I need to know for my taste.
I just tried it out and yes the outline-effect is new and hm not so pretty (right now), but as you said it's just a feature.
What I have noticed and this is extremely cool: no more delay when activating DoF and no more stuttering when turning it off and turning the camera(I always had that). It's absolutely flawless now!
I have to confess... the outlines reminds me a bit on a comic book picture... a cool effect for people who like to play a bit around and make some unique shots, for sure... but for me... nah... even if I love to play around
Your stuff is amazing but thats the talent shining through to do shots regardless of the medium/tools.
The images you took do look really nice and I will be looking foward to trying out this binary once tetro releases his new dof (can't live without it. )
