Overview A fresh take on Dawnfire ENB for Azurite II, completely reworked from my previous ittiration. Because of the nature of the design of Azurite II, it will create a stronger fantasy vibe. Yet I still retained most of Dawnfire's natural intent as much as possible. This ENB can work with any addon designed for Azurite II out of the box! Requires
DO NOT USE ENB HELPER PLUS The reason why is very simple; this ENB is not tuned for or will never be tuned with ENB Helper Plus It uses different techniques for adjusting ENB's. This ENB does not require it, so do not use it. It will do literally nothing or in some cases it might break ENB's Unless an ENB author tells you to use it, then use it.
Moons and Stars from Po3 - the required files have a config for this. All to work nicely with EVLAS
Embers XD - This ENB is tuned with it on it's default flames
Rally's Celestial Canvas - Strongly recommended, as I feel that these galaxy textures fit like a glove with this ENB. Be sure to endorse this mod if deciding to use it!
Azurite Weathers II expansion ~ Optionaly available. Currently WIP, unfinished and put on indefinite hold. The main version is pretty much done. Installation
ENB - You only need the d3d11.dll and the d3d_compiler.dll from the wrapper folder and put it into your game directory \steamapps\common\skyrim special edition
ENB helper - You need SKSE installed and then you can install ENB helper.
Install the required files and make sure you overwrite any conflict (if you choose to use it)
Download my mod and grab the files inside the folder named MAIN ENB, and install them into your main skyrim directory where skyrim.exe is located, again \steamapps\common\skyrim special edition
After that you can pick to choose any overwrite folder, which works on either version.
And you are done!
Parallax support: Parallax enabled by default. If you want to disable it; disable it manually in enbseries.ini
An optional Performance version - Works on both versions. Grab the files in the filder and just install like any ENB. Overwrite when prompt
An optional Muted version - This reduces the saturation by quite a lot, which makes Dawnfire ENB lean more towards Ebony ENB's design, moodier and less vibrant. For those who wish to use so! Install like any other ENB. Overwrite when prompt.
ENB Functionalities Open up the enb pressing Shift Enter. And the most important thing to note is the Postpass window you can open up.
Here you can simply change the luts, enable black bars. Disable vignette, adjust sharpening, adjust blurring, CA and all that stuff. All free up to you. Don't forget to save in the top left pane after making changes!. That's it!

Luts As with the previous version, Dawnfire ENB comes with it's familiar LUTS. Primarily designed for screenarchery and for you to fool around with. All thanks to Adys who created them, but also created these fantastic ENB shaders. Kudo's to him!
Here are the examples;
