This is a ReShade preset featuring shaders to make Skyrim feel cold, less vibrant and less welcoming. As it should be! Includes conditional shaders, and a RayTracing shader among other effects. It aims to provide a believable image in all circumstances, with a realistic color palette and realistic lighting.
This preset includes my new conditional shaders and my ray tracing shader.
The raytracing shader I coded uses a simple ray marching technique to trace rays through the scene and accumulate the color and distance along the ray.
Keep in mind that this shader is not a complete ray tracing solution and would not provide the same level of accuracy and realism as hardware-accelerated ray tracing.
The benefit however is that this shader is not costly on performance, and still produces a relative good ray tracing effect.
No ENB was used on the screenshots, only Haze Weathers 2 and Veydogolt with Veydogolt Trees.
