Weekly Update -- 10/27/2017
Added 2017-10-27 20:42:24 +0000 UTCGood morning Vietnam! Back this week with another update for you lovelies.
Everyone say hello to our newest contributors:
- Cidkah
- Fayyne
- Grant Ruhoff
I'd also like to announce the first Goodie Bag Stream, exclusive to patrons in the Goodie Bag tier and above. The stream will begin next Thursday, November 2nd @ 5:00 PM PST.
I'll make another post with the stream link earlier that day, so you can get your browser nice and warmed up. ;)
Now, onto the update!
This week's work has mostly centered on ENB's, weather mods, and lighting adjustments. I know last week's post announced Vivid Weathers as the new official weather mod/ENB for the installation, but after testing some new experimental features from NLVA and Snowfall ENB (and after a lot of tweaking and performance adjustments), it's looking more likely that one of those two mods will take VW's place.
In my opinion, Snowfall ENB is the obvious choice for its incredible performance, proprietary weathers, and plethora of ENB features (like auto-ambient lighting and delicious subsurface scattering/edge texturing for waters), but alongside ELFX, it currently makes dungeons and interiors far too dark. We're currently working on a fix for this issue, which shouldn't be too difficult after all the work we've already done tweaking and adjusting these mods.
Since I don't have any new mods to show off this week, I've attached some screenshots that should demonstrate some of the work we've been doing on visuals and lighting. (Images courtesy of Gatonegro and myself.)
Hope you guys enjoyed this update, and I'll see you again next week!
