📋 About This Mod
INTRODUCTION Unreal Cinema is an ENB configuration designed to give a cinematic and immersive experience within The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. The main focus of Unreal Cinema, aside from making effective use of cinematic style effects such as Letterbox Vignette, Tilt Shift Depth of Field, Active Film Grain, and Lens Flares, was to give the player the feel of a dark, yet fantastical, gritty and medieval atmosphere while exploring Skyrim. Rather than go for a realistic style or a vibrant style, that a lot of other ENB's offer, the goal was to achieve a unique artistic style that nobody else has quite captured yet. A lot of time was spent to make sure that you never felt like you was running an ENB. That this style was the way the game is meant to be played. From careful positioning of vignette borders to go with the UI to lighting balancing to avoid mountains looking like cardboard cutouts in specific lighting/weather types. There is a heavy emphasis on creating use for torches and light spells so darkness at night and in dungeons & caves is common. The configuration may not be for everyone, it's certainly far from realistic, however I hope you can appreciate the time and effort put into this configuration and enjoy the many little things that combine together to bring this cinematic vision to Skyrim Nexus. Unreal Cinema was configured using an i5 3570k @4. 2ghz, 8gb Corsair Vengeance RAM, & MSI Twin Frozr III R7950 OC BE 3gb. It also supports Enhanced Lights and FX. Also included within this profile is Mindflux's Skyrim Particle Patch for ENB. All author screenshots were taken using Unreal Cinema however please be aware that screenshots may vary by ENB profile version as the configuration is improved and may not represent the work in it's current form.
