ENB settings - transparency of water


rootsrat

Question

Hi guys.

 

I am currently testing and customising ENB. I have a full baseline STEP install + ROL + legacy weathers + SkyRealism Cinematic ENB installed. I try to twek it to my linking, however there is one thing about it that I do not like at all, at it's transparency of water. I don't know how to tweak this... Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated. I attach 2 screens, one with ENB switched on, where you can see the bottom of the stream and another one with ENB switched off, where the water is not clear. To me the latter looks much better and more realistic. Do not pay attention to other stuff like brighteness etc, they're not relevant - I'm fully on about the water and it's transparency.

It's something I would like to know too. In that shot the transparency could perhaps be justified, but i have seen many examples where I have been at an oblique angle to the water surface, and can still see objects at the bottom of a lake on the far side. Definitely unnatural and distracting.

Surprised nobody's answered this yet... ENB has a bug with transparencies when you have SSAO enabled. Water is the big one, but also weapons and such can become transparent under certain conditions. It looks like Boris is currently working on solving this as the latest versions of ENB have fixes for water transparency. You'll need to wait for your ENB of choice to be updated to one of the latest binaries or just disable SSAO.

This has indeed fixed the issue.

 

For those who don't know how to do it:

 

To enable SSAO, open enbseries.ini and set EnableAmbientOcclusion=True and UseIndirectLighting=true. To disable SSAO set EnableAmbientOcclusion=False & UseIndirectLighting=False. Enabling or disabling SSAO will have an impact on performance.
