OVERVIEW


SKSE plugin which dynamically adjusts the look of shadows depending on lighting conditions.

This is a reasonably simple SKSE plugin which adjusts how shadows look so that they look more correct in cloudy and overcast lighting situations. Clear weather is unaffected. 

This mod calculates the balance between direct and indirect lighting to estimate how diffused the shadows should look, then modifies game INI settings.



Settings can be modified in real-time in the ReShade add-on menu. You only need ReShade if you want to use the menu.


NOTES

  • If uninstalling the mod, reset your INI files, or disable the mod in-game and then remove it.
  • There will be a performance hit if you increase the max diffusion. By default the impact is negligible. 
  • Interiors have a setting, although will not be dynamic in any way and should probably be left alone apart for screenshots.


REQUIREMENTS

Address Library for SKSE Plugins


COMPATIBILITY

Compatible with ENB and ReShade.
Compatible with EVLaS.
Compatible with Shadow Boost.
NAT ENB will not benefit from this.  It is much more advanced than other weather mods and has its own solution for this.
