Parrallax ENB and ReShade Preset


It is a photoreal experience outside (big dark night) and an immersive experience inside.

ModList - Tweaks - Tips included



Introduction


To respect the work and permissions / credits of the original author l00ping, i provide only the "ini" files settings.
This will allow you to read the original mod description properly and endorse it if you wish.

I play the game with 95% textures from luxor8071 author.
All credits go to these two authors.

I took great care to configure the ENB settings to : Fog - Water - Rain -
Sky lighting -
Game volumetric rays - Volumetric fog - Shadows - Reflexions

I didn't touch Subsurfacescattering because some people use vanilla-2k-4k face or some modules to replaces the appearance of NPCs.

You should do by yourself the tweak for NVHBAO to enjoy a better details and smooth ambient occlusion.
See Articles section for NVHBAO settings

Optionally (medium/advanced user)

You can learn and create your own settings for NVHBAO, see the link below for explanations of all the different settings.
I use MXAO in ReShade, so it's better with this preset to use bSAOEnable=0 in FO4Prefs.ini.

Guide : Fallout4Prefs INI/NVHBAO

By default the "Home" key open the menu ENB and ReShade in same time. The ReShade menu cover the ENB menu.

In my case, i use "PageUp" key to open ReShade menu.

To change the imput key in ENB. Go to Fallout4 folder and open enblocal.ini
If you don't know the number for your keys, see the link below to the Tester Tool.

TECHNIQUE - VisualMod and choose one
0:None   1:NAC   2:Vivid   3:Grim   4:Calamity


Tips ReShade

This is not a bug.

Reshade come with pre-defined settings. For some games nothing to do.

In Fallout 4 you have to change the values in Edit global preprocessor definitions to have the correct depth map (depth buffer).

Many shaders (like any ambient occlusion effect, depth-of-field, distance fog, Ray tracing) need a correct depth map to work properly.

See Articles section for How to fix a misaligned depth buffer on ReShade


Tips Screenshots

Make a screenshot with ReShade is better, it will take into account ENB preset.

Make a screenshot with ENB, will not take into account the ReShade preset.


Tips Monitor

If you have the possibility, remember to calibrate your monitor from time to time.

I use a Spyder4Pro with DisplayCAL and a gamma 2.2 tone curve.
