A Tragedy In Black - 2K Soul Gems with Subsurface Animation and ENB Particle Light

An update to MLP Soulgems for LE that uses Rustic Soulgems textures and features Complex Particle Lighting just like MLP Soulgems SSE

This mod does not feature the same texture improvements of the SSE Version when it was ported. Just the added light source to filled gems.

This mod does not include changes to Azura's Star so is compatible with mods that do

Soul gems glow with particle lighting and feature a subsurface animation when filled. You've seen this animation before.

It is already used by many vanilla assets such as Frost Atronachs, water, and Aetherium items

The other half of this mod utilizes the feature of ENBSeries most recent binaries

The particle light of this mod is visible in both First and Third-Person

Complex Particle Lights are a 2D billboard light source capable of casting shadows and always faces the fourth wall

The particle light effect on filled soul gems DOES require ENB v0. 366 or above to function correctly

The subsurface animation effect on the filled soul gems does NOT require ENB to function correctly

Complex Particle Lights produce hugely overblown bright areas on character skin when specular skin is also turned on

I have experienced this with specular skin, torches, and wearable lanterns

You should also disable in enbseries.ini or ENB UI in-game

You can also adjust the intensity of  in enbseries.ini or ENB UI

That will reduce excessive brightness between particle lights and skin specular as they are all their own orders of light magnitude

So like .esp, choose only one to Enable. This mod requires  to be Enabled in order to see the glow, but is not critical to the mod functioning at all. You would still have the parallax and subsurface animation on filled soul gems but the filled gems will not glow.

Just as does not need to be enabled in , that's a matter of taste and to me it works best with very dark ENB

All Kudos and Endorsements should be directed at the original mod creators. I'm just a caretaker who saw this as an opportunity

File swapping and mesh editing with a copied effect branch took a second to learn how to do but it's far from authorship.
