Arctic is a personal preset I made a few years ago to mimic the northern climate I grew up in. The main features of this preset are:
- Significantly shorter days, with much longer dawn and dusk periods. The daylight config is set to follow real-world sunlight schedules from Alaska in mid-October. This means true sunlight lasts for 6 hours. Dawn and dusk give you 4 more hours of light collectively but expect heavy shadows. Bring torches!
- Color grading to create “Blue Hour” periods. Blue hour is a period of time after golden hour where shadows and the lack of direct sunlight casts everything blue. Because of the angle of the sun (I think? I don’t really understand it) blue hour is much longer in polar regions. I’ve attempted to color-grade dusk and dawn settings to reflect this.
- Custom color correction using procedural palette correction.
- Depth of field, and lens effects made to personal taste (probably not for some people).
Use the ENB GUI and website documentation to customize and toggle features.
I use Obsidian Weathers, but it should work with any weather/lighting mod. I normally get 45 - 60 fps on my 3050TI, depending on the area. It isn’t a perfect preset, but hopefully, some of you enjoy it.
