Skyrim How To Install Enb Series
I decided to create a thread for my series of 'tech demo' videos of Skyrim ENB visual effects. I will add new videos to this thread on the ENBdev.com forums as I continue to create them. The first five videos are included below:
- Install an appropriate version of ENBSeries for TES Skyrim. (2) Optional Meshes and Textures Use a mod manager to install the optional meshes and textures included in the main file.
- A simple guide on how to install ReShade, ENB and their presets, plus a list of recommended presets. The Special Edition of Skyrim came out, and with it ReShade and ENB presets. This will be a step-by-step guide on how to install ReShade 3, ENB and their presets. First things first you need to.
- ENB is also more technical than ReShade, a wrong installation could make your game crash whenever you try to load a save. One of the best options included in ENB is Depth Of Field, which as you all know by now, makes the background blurry keeping your character or element of choice in focus like in real photography.
- Skyrim: 5 Secret Choices You Didn’t Know You Had In The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim Why Saadia Is GUILTY! Skyrim Lore Secrets! Old School Words Today's Gamers Won't Understand.
Despite what anyone might tell you or what you think, there is no way to completely remove a mod for Skyrim. Once you introduce a mod, removing the mod doesn't work, because the game has been introduced to data that is no longer there, and the game remembers it.

This video demonstrates the real-time screen-space reflections effect of ENB series for Skyrim, calculating true reflections in real-time as opposed to the standard simulated cube-map techniques.
This video demonstrates the image-based lighting (IBL) effect of ENB series for Skyrim, an effect that is only now beginning to appear in commercial video games. IBL is an effect where the scene is illuminated from above by the light from the sky. To oversimplify: a image of the sky is reflected onto the scene. IBL also has potenial applications for interior scenes, but the Skyrim ENB only uses this effect in exterior scenes with the sky.

This video demonstrates the underappreciated subsurface scattering (SSS) effect of ENB series for Skyrim, another effect that is only now starting to appear in commercial video games in 2015. Subsurface scattering is the diffusion of light within a translucent material. For more info, see <!-- m -->En.wikipedia.org<!-- m -->
In ENB series for Skyrim, subsurface scattering is mostly used to help skin to look more like skin, rather than like leather or rubber.
This video demonstrates the screen-space indirect lighting (SSIL) effect of ENB series for Skyrim, an effect rarely used in ANY commercial video games to date. SSIL is an effect where light cast onto one surface is reflected onto other nearby surfaces. It can be considered a 'sister effect' to screen-space ambient occlusion (SSAO), working with light rather than shadow.

This video demonstrates the screen-space ambient occlusion (SSAO) effect of ENB series for Skyrim. Ambient occlusion is an effect that calculates how exposed each point in a scene is to ambient lighting; areas with less light exposure, like corners & crevices,are darkened accordingly. ENB's implementation of SSAO is more sophisticated than most found in commercial games today; it respects lighting and transparency, and applies realistic darkening to affected areas rather than overlaying 'black blobs' as bound in some games. (*cough* .. Far Cry 4 .. *cough*). SSAO can be considered a 'sister effect' to screen-space indirect lighting (SSIL).

This video demonstrates the volumetric mist effect of ENB series for Skyrim. ENB for Skyrim allows for volumetric mist to be added to areas of the game world. The appearance of mist depends on weather conditions and requires an ENB preset designed to use the effect, such as Enhanced Shaders NLA.
Volumetric mist helps foggy days feel more atmospheric, and also helps to mask lower quality distant textures and models with a realistic effect.

Notice: This guide is a work in progress and is thus incomplete. While all INI parameters are listed and kept current, some of the parameter descriptions and image examples may be incomplete. |
Guide Scope
This guide is intended as THE comprehensive reference to the functionality of all parameters found within enbseries.ini as it evolves. All of the user-configurable parameters contained within enbseries.ini are defined with screenshot examples (still a WIP). Parameters are presented by INI section headings in the order that they appear by default within enbseries.ini. Jump to a relevant INI section using the links below and navigate back to this 'hub' using the link that appears at the top of each section page.

ENB GUI Editing
This section is still only an idea and not complete.
Since ENBSeries v0.266, it is no longer recommended to toggle ssao/taa/reflection/dof on or off while in-game via the GUI. Reference
Credits
Much of the inspiration of this Guide came from a desire to have a complete reference for the enbseries.ini file. Some references exist such as, MTichenor's ENB Evolved User Manual which is included with his Preset and JawZ's Guide to ENBSeries, which this Guide's formatting is inspired by. Both were used in the initial creation of this Guide; however, MTichenor's Manual is outdated and JawZ's Guide is currently incomplete. Therefore, this ENBSeries INI Guide was created.
Credit goes out to both MTichenor and JawZ for the inspiration and reference for the beginnings of this Guide.
