📋 About This Mod
This is not an ENB, not sweetfx, not reshade. Completely Compatible to all those 3.
Adds Environment Shaders(+Cubemaps) and Parallax shaders to Skyrim on over 360 meshes, so probably over 5. 000-10. 000 objects in Tamriel.
Those shaders add reflections and simulate sunlight on objects as the directx9 engine of skyrim is a bit dull otherwise.
It doesn't override your textures. Compatible with every texture pack based on the requirements.
This mod is mostly about Environment shaders with cubemaps though, Parallax is just to complete things.
Your support means the world to me
Compatible to armor texture mods like Amb or any other
Requirements for Mainmod(Armors have none or specified in Download): Newest versions of
Realistic HD Food
Realistic HD Misc
Realistic HD Blacksmith
Not needed: Realistic HD Ores and Realistic HD Ingots. Install Realistic HD after SMIM. Both mods are basically Skyrim essentials.
Compatibility: No problems so far
Performance hit: Minimal
Doesn't require ENB, but the minor Parallax part doesn't show up then.
There are ENB's that only enable Parallax without changing anything else for maximum performance.
I want to thank Brumbek and HalkHogan for letting me use their great meshes. Check out their mods, they are awesome.
Dimension7 and VoltarDaedra for checking all files
If anything turns purple, install that according Smim or Realistic HD part again and post in the pinboard, I'll fix it then.
Gallery doesn't even show half the stuff, that I changed.
