McFly's Depth of Field for ENB - Skyrim SE (DX11)

Need some slight Depth of Field for gameplay, or are you the screenarcher who tortures the videocard with 4K,5K resolutions and need some nifty bokeh shapes to emphasise your perfect shot you've been setting up for half an hour? Say no more! This Depth of Field shader can do all that.

Even though the size and feature set might be a tiny bit intimidating at first, you'll see that it's actually easy to get used to and even if you just want a bit blur in your scene, you can use conservative settings and get what you want without sacrificing a lot of FPS.

This is the DX11 version of my DoF shader for SSE/FO4. For the DX9 version for Skyrim LE or other DX9 games, visit the mod page on Skyrim LE nexus.

• []sophisticated autofocus that keeps the important part of the image always in focus in both 1st and 3rd person

  []chromatic aberration featuring a new innovative algorithm for no performance cost

  []Numerous shape controls for easy recreation of any bokeh shape seen in movies of photographs

  []Smoothing of bokeh shape, improved over regular gaussian blur

  []On-the-fly option to render in a lower resolution (like ENB "size scale"), making even wide and high quality blur easy on hardware and framerate

  []Blur width scaled by screen percentage instead of pixel radius, making perceived blur radius relative to screen coherent on all resolutions/DSR

  []highly optimized algorithm for best performance

  []advanced color leakage fix that completely rids the image of halos around focused objects

  []bokeh emphasis to complement Skyrim's low color range

  []workaround for buggy procedural color correction code in enbeffect (fixed a while ago by Boris but still present in virtually every custom enbeffect) that lets alpha channel of DoF output affect the CC so that areas out of focus look different

  INSTALLATION AND COMPATIBILITY

  Compatible to virtually any ENB preset, it requires texOriginal though (to compute DoF blur in lower resolution and have a "backup" full resolution image to blend with) which was an addition to DoF file format present in ENBSeries version 0. 264+. Depending on your usage or preset, you can call the file enbdepthoffield.fx (new separate file controlled by EnableDepthOfField in enbseries.ini in current ENB versions) or enbeffectprepass.fx (old DoF shader name controlled by EnableDepthOfField in enbseries.ini in older ENB versions but still works in newest, used for
