Lite8888 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 (edited) Hello, I am new to modding, and in my search for the best graphics mods, I've been seeing a lot of this effect: "Fading Backgrounds?" - - - in which the camera fades in and out of specific objects at random times...? Here are 2 screenshots of what I mean:http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/images/166379http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/images/166464 Firstly, I would like to know what this effect is called? How does it work? From watching videos, I don't think I would like this effect, because I think it would get in the way of things that I am trying to look at, would you agree? What is your opinion on it, and how can I tell which mods implement it? -Thanks Edited November 27, 2012 by Lite8888 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiftyTifty Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Depth of field. Blurs things that are in front of the crosshair. ENB does the best looking one, but it takes a good chunk out of your FPS.Dynavision is the worst looking one, but with no hit to your performance. Me? I say it's awful. No likey.

gurugeorge Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Question answered. I'd just add, though, that the various ENB DOF effects look absolutely fantastic in first person because they work like a camera (so what your cursor is targeted on is in focus, everything else in front and behind out of focus, so it's very movie-like). But none of them are very good in third person, as your cursor is generally naturally aimed more at the ground, so the background is almost permanently blurred. Also DOF looks crappy on horseback as there's no independent control of the cursor on horseback, so again, your character is in focus, the background perma-blurred. Just something to be aware of if you play in third person a lot. There is a program (ENBSSAODoFtoggler) that allows you to easiliy switch DOF on and off on the fly though, which somewhat gets around that.

asuraz Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 (edited) I don't like that effect either. I hate it. Almost every mod has it BUT usually these mods come with a version without that effect so you don't need to use it. For example Project ENB has different options and I chose that option which does not include DOF. If you find a mod which visually pleases you, just check the folders you download and explore the options ;) Edited November 28, 2012 by asuraz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
