I don't think it's very relevant to compare Pure Waters and W.A.T.E.R.S. : if you choose wisely your options in W.A.T.E.R., they may not alter the same files, so actually I use both and I'm very happy of it.
Nice, I was just thinking if it was possible to use both of them: for instance i would like to use the crystalline water from Pure Water and the reduced splash from Water... I should check their files.
Nice watermod, I've been using this one for quit some time already. You mentioned you're using FXAA for the extra rendering features. Though I wonder, why? There is a, for some time now, a much better tool out there (SweetFX) that's using SMAA in a very efficient way. I used FXAA almost since it was released first and loved it, but even though it comes with a GUI, it's all way's kind of hard to get right settings. SweetFX is configured trough a text file but it performs better and the rendered end result comes out much sharper and brighter.
For those of us (like myself) who have comparable systems it would be nice if we could get a full mod list with load order, and a copy of your .ini tweaks. trying to piece it together from stills of your videos is painful.
checkout my skyrim page might be adding mod videos https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-elder-scrollsSkyrim/506377202732814?ref=hl check out my skyrim page just made it only got one like
Pure Waters' coastlines are maybe somewhat too clear, considering the location of Skyrim (this is based on 4.3 which I believe hasn't got the latest changes to make the waters in some places a little less transparent); the streams and rivers' clarity is just about right though, IMHO: if you go to somewhere where the environment is pretty much untouched by human activity you CAN get water that clear-- saw a lot of those kinds of rivers and streams on my last trip to China's Jiuzhaigou valley--- waters were so clear and blue-green, and you could see all the way to the bottom in the shallows, no problems. Temperature range at the time would have pretty much been Skyrim in (very) sunny weather, around 4-6 degrees Celcius.
Now if only Laast would get around to touching up the waterfalls.... XD
I've tried both Pure Waters and W.A.T.E.R... I found that Pure Waters was (as you mentioned in your video about clarity) too clear in some areas, especially around the coasts. W.A.T.E.R. just manages to keep the lead because of its more realistic dirtiness. That said, there are some areas around the map where Pure Waters beats W.A.T.E.R. (small streams for eg.). But as you also mentioned, it's very much a matter of taste.
Both are fantastic though. It's amazing how talented these modders are at bringing us such excellent choices in how we enhance Skyrim.
I Used It. Amazing Waters!! i mean yeah sure awesome game quite allot of work put to you, but the island of solstheim looked a bit funny because of the unrealistic waters...
