Change log

Version 1.2
Fixed the Setup so it does not require ELFX !! you can still use it if you want too. but its not necessary anymore.
Version 1.1
Now it does not require my ini files!! which is great. I have also modified some lighting effects to make interiors a bit darker (use brightness ingame around the middle )
Torches now look awesome. on interiors they will look very realistic and flamboyant and in exteriors they will emite a lighting effect similar to vanilla regarding the speed of the wind.
Improved some lights and colors and shadowing.
Tested to run with default ini files now. or any config.



Good day to everyone!!

I have been working on this enb for the last 2 months and I decided to share it here on the nexus for anyone that is looking for a realistic Skyim experience.
best video showcast's that i have seen on Youtube many people have to tweak their inis so they get a particular lightning into the scene, well not anymore, i have balanced the lightning of each area to make them blend nicely and also made it so that Climates of Tamriel will project every single light dynamically into the scene.

Illusion ENB is a New enb inspired by Opethfeldt enb that simulates lighting in the most realistic way possible.
Now light sources will have unique lighting setups. Such as candlelight, bonfires, campfires, torches and any light source will have its own lighting using the 3d space to absorb light through objects in a way that will feel immersive and real.

For example now you will really notice a difference inside interiors when its night or day. In daytime light will come from under the door and reflect colors through windows so you will know what type of weather is outside

One of the strongest characteristics of this preset is its vibrant colors. To make a world look realistic we need to have a realistic light and some really good 16k textures. so if you want this enb to make Skyrim look as real as possible. I would recommend you use some of this following mods.

  LITTLE DESCRIPTION ABOUT PRESET

I live in Scandinavia and I have looked at landscapes around here in the last couple of months to attempt to simulate colors in a realistic way. Colors are lively now, trees will be real green from any angle, Skies are truly blue wihen there is good weather. Surface light reacts with sunlight so when there is a sunny day everything will reflect and shine and when a day is a bit cloudy or foggy, colors will tone down to give an immersive cold and grey feeling. Nights now will look a lot darker like in real life. if there is not much light to reflect. there is darkness.  But still the night will look stunning and pretty with light refleting from stary skies and nebulas.  I didn't want to make dungeons to dark so anyone cn set the lighting there to their own preference with tweakings or mods. Grass and flora now also absorb the light more vibrantly, making flora look truly alive with nice colors. Mountins now look brighter and more snowy how they would in a real cold place. Npcs will look great on any light to bring a variety of dirrent tones of skins depending the time of day and weather. Water will also look more colorful and reflective. A cell with water can change in many colors regarding weather now. its pretty neat, water will never look the same again.     

This ENB will have a performance hit on your system depending on your specs. I run this at 30 fps exterior on a i7 gtx 970 video ram 6 gb plus 160 mods.

The reason behind doing this preset is to have Skyrim feel more like a sensation that you are actually there. I have seen some presets on youtube with skyrim looking also very real but those authors have not shared there work so I decided to make my own.
The name comes from the sensation of immersion that I feel when I play with this preset. I want to feel there and smell and breath skyrim even tho im not really there, therefore the illusion.
