Version 0.1.3
- - new weather for the quest "ill met by moonlight" - reworked the color schemes for all regional types to be more systematical correct. Every weather now has complementary colors - split the two fog variants of FF - darkened the dawn/dusk/night clouds for all cloudy and clear weathers - less harsh black values via HDR for clear and cloudy weathers around daytime - worked out a saturation/brightness/hue shift accent color individual for each region type (KiSuite) - moregloomy night sky and fog for overcast weathers - really intense moon for clear nights without aurora - reduced the pointlightcurve for interiors so that sun light is not over exposuring- reduced imagebasedlighting + ignore weather (for now) - rebalanced the sky gradient intensity and saturation - heavily desaturated the games VL
Version 0.1.2
- - set water to ignoreweathersystem for later changes - reworked the stormy weathers, HDR more in line with the other weathers - changed the specular values in stormy and rainy weathers to look much more wet - set the bloom mixing to be weather separated, which enabled me to dehaze many weathers and gives more saturation in a healthy way - changed the tonemap: more contrasting days and clearer nights (i know you dont calibrate your monitors :D) - standardized contrast, saturation and vibrance between all weathers in the KiSuite - decreased imagebasedlighting and set it to ignoreweathersystem - decreased and desaturated GameVolumetricLighting in weathers with Aurora at night - made the light color of the moon at night less warm
Version 0.1.1
- - base rain weather is more in line with its regional variants - HDR exposure -0.5 for all rainy weathers - all clear and cloudy weathers: made the post pass (Kisuite) more neutral - all foggy weathers: swapped the coloring of the sky in dawn/dusk upside down - changed the ambient occlusion so it is not that intrusive anymore - made all aurora nights much softer - removed the DoF shader (for now) - cut off the reshade preset to be an optional file
Version 0.1.0
- This is the first official release. I call it a beta version because it merely delivers the base. Special places like oblivion or new land mods are yet to implement.
