📋 About This Mod

P A I N T E R L Y ' ENB

A stylized preset inspired by speed-painting and digital painters to give a clean illustrative look to Skyrim.

Many painting techniques such as wet effects, merged shadows and forms combined with sharp edges,

solid and flat brushstrokes balanced with soft brushes, texture works and complementary colors schemes

have been recreated without altering the gameplay.

The game is fully playable, texts and UI aren't affected by the paint effect,

and unless you are using a resolution lower than 1280p, visuals remain readable and the game playable.

::HOW TO USE::

- Short old video tutorial of the Painterly' ENb User Interface using a very old vesion, but principle stays the same -
