Azurite Weathers and Seasons

This is my final weather mod, and the culmination of nearly a decade of weather modding experience.

-NLVA (voted best weather mod/ENB by Reddit)

-SnowFall ENB

-Dolomite Weathers (Nexus Mod of the Month 2/2017)

-Obsidian Weathers (Nexus Mod of the Month 12/2017)

-Cathedral Weathers (Nexus Mod of the Month 4/2019)

Recommendations:

• []Azurite III is designed to look misty without the use of volumetric mist mods

  []Cathedral Series

  []Enhanced Volumetric Lighting and Shadows - so moonlight at night aligns with the moon

  []Community Shaders, CS - Complex Grass Lighting, CS - Screen Space Shadows

  []Azurite Horizons ENB

  []Slightly Brighter Water Effects Brightness and Reflection Fix: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/126683

  Features:

  The list of features is exhaustive and some of it too technical to discuss here, but notable Improvements include the following:

  -Designed to work with or without ENB/community shaders.

  -HDR filmic tone mapping which prevents brights (ie snow, pale skin) from being over exposed, and similarly the contrast settings prevent darks from crushing to blacks

  -Consistent settings for HDR and volumetric lighting result in improved weather transitions and greatly simplify ENB creation

  -Normal maps have way more depth which makes the world look more 3D (DALC improvements)

  -Pseudo-ambient occlusion of underside of objects (DALC improvements)

  -Volumetric lighting is more directional so you only really see it when looking at the sun (prevents the entire scene from being washed out)

  -8k galaxy and star textures from Cathedral Weathers have been improved (no more twinkle cross stars and greater contrast)

  -Consistent sneak detection depending on weather type and time of day. The getlightlevels have been standardized across weathers so that bright, cloudy, and rainy/stormy weathers all have unique light levels for sneaking so that sneaking is easier during stormy weather and harder during clear weather (please note these levels are still below the vanilla ones which makes sneaking outdoors a bit easier across the board)

  -“Effects lighting” for particles/mist/smoke not overly bright at night.

  -Rain and snow are not overly bright at night due to increased transparency. Furthermore, rain is not grey scale and has pseudo refraction of colors

  -Snowflake textures are made from ~20 micron resolution stereographic photographs produced by the Particle Flux Analytics Multi-Angle Snowflake Camera (MASC), thereby making these the most realistic virtual snowflakes in the world

  -There is no horizon seam. Skyrim has a render distance of about 350,000 distance units, and anything after that abruptly cuts off creating a hard disconnect with th
