    In interiors it looks like everything is super clean and polished to a high gloss. Someone is buffing the floors!

      Housekeeping is quite efficient in this game, they secretly clean up the Dwemer Ruins and make sure that all candles are lit in the Nordic Ruins

    It looks amazing, but I'm slightly confused. How is this different from just adjusting the specular amount and power in the Environment section in enb?

      I have the same question.

      Not having a specular map means all materials reflect the same. You don't want your wooden surfaces to reflect light the same as metal surfaces.
      Also the difference between the specular amount and power in the Environment section and the specular map for the wetness shader is that it will apply regardless of weather unless to manually change it for each weather. The wetness shader only applies to wet surfaces.

      Thank you for the insight; and yes, that makes perfect sense. I will gladly accept the lack of specular support in SE for the 64 bit memory management/vastly superior performance in SE over LE all day long. :)
      Regarding adjustments in the Environment section, I turn off the Ignore Weather System option and then set the specular parameters for each rainy weather.

      This wet effect uses a SSR - Screen Space Reflections, in the Interiors, you can't get it by adjusting a specular.

      Okay thanks, that makes sense about it only applying to surfaces that make sense. I've already tweaked Ominous ENB weathers to where it applies speculars when it rains and snows so I'd have to go back and remove the changes first.

      I played around with the wet surfaces settings and couldn't get a look I liked with it though. It seemed to make surfaces brighter rather then more reflective. I'll have to spend some more time with it

      I'm using a really high specular values during a rainy weather with a rain wet effect, these two effects are rather complementary.

      Well, if that's the case, I'll have to do some testing with both on. Thanks Rudy!

    Rudy, unless the LE version looks that much better, one might consider the SE version a net positive since it doesn't require a specular map to work. :)

      It's not really a positive. Also you not need a specular map for it to work but without it you can't control reflectivity of a surface. This means wooden surfaces would reflect the same about of light as surfaces that are supposed to be a shiny metal. As to whether it looks much better with the specular map well that depends if you have the eye for that.

      With a specular map (like in LE) you can prevent some surfaces from being too reflective (like the sand, for example, or a wool)

    I'm sure Boris will figure out some other magic to give the preset more authors more control over what gets the new effect and not. The man works a miracle with ENB.

    I wonder if you're ever gonna release your work on Dwemer metal.

      The good news is that I finally changed shaders in almost all nifs from Dwemer ruins. The bad news is that I've only done one metal texture so far and it turned out that I need a texture from Markarth doors, the rest are from Noble Skyrim (tweaked) and many nifs need improvement because they are extremely low quality.

    What texture mod are you using for Dwemer metal in these screenshots? It looks amazing!
