About this mod
Almost ENB is a ReShade preset made to look almost like an ENB. It uses HDR to produce an impressively realistic image where lights and shadows are given the upmost importance!
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
- Changelogs
It is not compatible with Haze Weathers 2 though.
It has been tested with 8 different ENBs, it can be loaded on top of ENBs to enhance them greatly.
HDR provides ambient occlusion with a strong emphasis to lights and shadows. The result is vibrant but darker.
With some clicks you can change "presets" on the fly. Available "presets" are:
Default: Disable Technicolor, Technicolor2 and Vibrance
Bleaker: Enable Technicolor
Lighter (Realistic): Enable Technicolor + Technicolor2
Lighter (Vibrant): Enable Technicolor + Technicolor2 + Vibrance
Ambient Occlusion: HDR already provides ambient occlusion. If you want stronger ambient occlusion, enable MXAO.
Note that Ambient Occlusion is a complex shader that requires a lot of performance power.
Also note that ReShade's Ambient Occlusion affects the moons also and makes them look unrealistic/buggy at times, so I don't recommend it at all.
Do not change, disable/enable effects because you will ruin it and destroy the overall experience.
This mod has been extensively tested to make sure it is quality-consistent and bug-free.
Changes and alleviations from the provided setup may look good at one place but will most certainly look bugged in another situation such as weather/lighting/location changes.
