Welcome to the home for Lumen ENB!



Lumen (noun), def.- Latin word meaning "light."

Lumen ENB is a semi-realistic ENB preset with care for realistic colors, bright, clear days, dark nights and dungeons, with a touch of fantasy and cinematic flare! This is a high quality preset originally built upon the framework of Opethfeldt's Opethfeldt 7beta3 ENB

The Story



Nice Story, but really, why do I care?

Features:

Full ENB Weather Support for nearly all vanilla weathers with a custom weather mod made by Opethfeldt and modified by me which allow for a very unique, bright appearance during clear days, and beautiful sunrises and sunsets that you have never before seen in Skyrim.

High Quality SSAO and SSIL with easily customizable quality options.

Realistically dark nights and dungeons. Torch comes recommended but not required.

Working Nighteye via Enhanced Night Eye for ENB by scegielski. It's currently configured to my taste but full customization options are available via the in-game ENB GUI.

Day and night settings for interiors make dungeons and shops look quite different from each other. Dungeons are still dark, but you can still see quite clearly in your own house!

A visually immersive game experience. When there's a blizzard, it makes you feel cold. The sun is bright and refreshing. During a rain storm you'll naturally want to wait it out indoors.

System Requirements (more of suggestions really):







Installation:

Just about the same as any ENB. Which is as follows:

Download the 0.292 ENB binary file from here. Just click on 0.292 and the download link will be an arrow at the bottom of the page. From the Wrapper folder from within that archive, copy d3d9.dll and enbhost.exe to your SKYRIM directory, the folder where TESV.exe is. ] Now, download the main file from here, either the performance or full version according to your preference and copy all the files from the [PLACE IN SKYRIM FOLDER] exactly there, the same folder you placed the files from the previous step, where your TESV.exe file is. Copy the contents of the [PLACE IN DATA FOLDER] into your data folder, where you place most mods OR add these files to the mod manager of your choice and install that way (this is the way I actually recommend as it's a much easier and clean install.) Setup your enblocal.ini. Annotations in the file should help you set it up according to your system. Turn off any hardware AA or AF, in the Skyrim Launcher or driver settings (Technically, anistropic filtering forced through drivers CAN be left on, this is really based on your preference.) Set up your Skyrimprefs.ini by adding or modifying the following lines: bFloatPointRenderTarget=1 bTreesReceiveShadows=1

bDrawLandShadows=1

bShadowsOnGrass=1 Install the required mods and any recommended mods you like from the lists below. Remember, required means not optional. Install them! Benefit.

As a long time ENB user, I've run across presets of every style and shape out there. However, one that stuck with me all along as a favorite was Opethfeldt ENB. It has a realism and polish that few presets have. While this had originally intended to simply be a modernization project of Opethfeldt's preset, Lumen ENB began to take on a life of its own and, while staying true to the original feel Opethfeldt's ENB has, the style had changed sufficiently that it couldn't be called just an update anymore. I consider this a sort of spiritual successor to Opethfeldt's preset and, while his initial footprint is still there, it's definitely a creature of its own.GTX 650 Ti/750 or Radeon HD 7790/R7 260X or higher recommended for Performance Version.GTX 680/770 or Radeon R9 280/285/HD 7950 or higher recommended for standard version.To see how your graphics card stacks up, check out this graphics card hierarchy chart from Tom's Hardware.These are estimates and will also vary greatly depending on your overall mod setup.These guys really made the content.
