About this mod

ReShade and ENB preset attempting to capture real world lighting effects in Skyrim SE. This is designed with Vivid Weathers in mind.

Requirements
Permissions and credits
Real Lighting ReShade ENB
This ReShade and ENB preset is meant to give Skyrim a more realistic atmosphere.  The sun shines brightly and is reflected on light colored surfaces during clear days.  In storms you can still tell that it's daytime.  Interiors are enhanced by keeping light sources bright while darkenning unlit areas.  This was designed while using Vivid Weathers Special Edition

VERSION 1.0 IS HERE
This file is not longer a work in progress, though updates will continue as needed.  Please continue to leave constructive comments if you like and feel free to upload screen shots.

UPDATE
ENBSeries v0.310 is here.  I recommend upgrading your d3d11.dll and d3dcompiler_46e.dll files from the wrapper version as load times are dramatically improved.

INSTALLATION
1. Download ReShade 3 from here
2. Run the ReShade_Setup_3.0.3.exe to install into your Skyrim.exe directory
3. Click yes to download effect when prompted
4. Download ENBSeries v0.310
5. From the WrapperVersion of the ENB folder, copy and paste the d3d11.dll and d3dcompiler_46e.dll files into your Skyrim SE directory
6. Download my preset and paste all the contents into your Skyrim directory and overwrite
7. Start the game, in the main menu screen, press SHIFT+F2 and select Real Lighting v3.ini from the dropdown
8. ReShade may tell you that an error occured while loading, this is ok and everything should still work as intended

CHANGE LOG
1.1 -- New Depth of Field effect, features near and far DoF.  Much less intrusive.
1.0 -- The culmination of the WIP versions.  Uses ENBSeries v0.310 binaries and shaders along with ReShade to create life-like world lighting
0.4.6 -- Uses more ENB sharers, refines DoF to something more gameplay friendly
0.4 -- Used ReShade technicolor shaders to slightly brighten up the effect
0.3.1 -- Minor DoF tweaks, increased activation threshold, inspired by adjustments made by ibbanez
0.3 -- Adds ENB Depth of Field, everything else is the same
0.2 -- fix for bloom issue, removes strange black marks from firelight, also reduced orange light hue
0.1a -- Removes bloom (can't yet adjust it through ENB), compensates with slightly increased brightness and decreased gamma
