I wanted to upgrade one of my favorite hair wigs called Lime from KS Hairdo's pack.  So, I remade it with extra bones in outfit studio (previously the wig only had one bone 🤢). This version has multiple branched bones for more realistic physics that have all been weight painted.

The other new thing I tried with this wig was to use a different shader in nifskope. Normally most wigs will use a Hair Shader under BSLightingShaderProperty so that racemenu can change the color. However, I wanted the hair to sort of glow with sub surface scattering around the edges (I'm not sure if there is a way to do this in Skyrim) so I ended up experimenting with a glow shader. I made a gradient glow map texture in photoshop and hooked it up with an emmissive color in nifskope. Basically the white parts of the texture shows the emmissive color and the black part masks it, resulting in glowing edges.

I think it sort of looks cool. The upside is the emmissive color can be anything so you can have gradient hair or highlights of different colors. The downside is since its not a Hair Shader anymore in nifskope, the hair texture had to be manually colored outside of skyrim. So I ended up making 5 colors for the wig (Green, Blue, Pink, Blonde and Purple). The other small thing I did was blur the Normal texture so that the hair appears smoother/silkier.

For the video, I used a lot of my ENB Light Objects mod and some WIP stuff too including the flickering neon sign and the custom condom strap with SMP physics. 

I've been getting more practice with making smp physics based accessories so if anyone is interested, let me know. I can make a tutorial on how to add SMP bones to an existing object and configure the .xml to make things like the condom strap, hair or elf ear physics.

Lastly, the music in case anyone wants to know:

The Audio Visualizer was easily done and layered on top with a free browser based website I found: https://vizzy.io/
 

I guess that's it for now, Cheers!

Introducing beer juggs with "liquidy" golden liquor and foam! This is just a proof of concept prop, it doesn't really have an esp right now but I did use CK to make it. Below, you can read a quick breakdown of how I made the prop and added SMP to it so it sort of looks like some form of liquid with physics, even though we know there's no real fluid sim in Skyrim (for now at least).

While I was modelling the prop itself, I first thought I should probably make it a weapon or a shield so the player can equip it on both their hands. Well, eventually I got to thinking that you really don't need things to be weapons for them to appear on the hand, since gloves exist (lol).

However, since the glove [Slot 33] is almost always used, I decided to make the Beer Jugs a ring equipment [Slot 36] for the left hand and a forearm equipment [Slot 34] for the right.

When modelling I decided to separate the glass, handle, foam and liquid so it's easier to texture and adjust individually.

The glass and handles are transparent and reflective. Also they are 100% weighted to the hand bone so they don't move with SMP.

The foam and liquid are slightly glowing and they are weighted to custom SMP bones that move via xml file. 

That's the main idea behind the "liquid sim". Basically just using SMP physics to make the foam and liquid jiggle like other jiggly bits. 

Using one of Gunslicer's animations (with NIOPA to adjust the hands) you can see the SMP in action, which makes it look like the liquid is sort of sloshing around:

I think it turned out kinda cool, here's a short breakdown on what I did after modelling the prop and bringing it to outfit studio:

Once I got all the textures hooked in nifskope and connected the Left Hand and Right Hand bones in Outfit studio, I tested it in game once to see if attached properly.

Adding the custom bones:

Weight painting the liquid:

Weight painting the foam:

It took a bit of testing in game to get it right and editing some SMP xml code. (I mostly copied my elf ears SMP file applied the same code logic)

For anyone interested, here's a snippet of the code:

Another cool idea I had for finishing it off was to add moving bubbles or foam to the beer so it looks more realistic. I did most of the work in nifskope by adding some controllers to the Liquor and Foam shader properties (mainly changing V offset which makes the texture move vertically)
 

I made sure to texture the foam and liquor in a way where you couldn't see gaps when it was moving. Here are the yummy results:

The last thing to do was to make a ground object mesh, so that if you drop the item outside your inventory, it's not just floating in the air.
I basically followed this youtube guide from SunJeong that was pretty straight forward:

The beer jug can now be picked up and rotated like any other skyrim prop or equipment box. 

I decided to add a Skyrim logo on the glass just because I thought it looked kinda neat:

And that's basically the breakdown on how to make a quick smp prop. (I didn't go through all the modelling and texturing steps which doesn't really have to do with Skyrim itself but using programs like blender, photoshop etc)

I hope this was sort of interesting to read, I had quite a bit of fun making something from scratch. I think I'll make more blog posts in the future if I make any new props/equipment worth sharing.

In the meantime I'm learning CK to make a mod for public release. It's probably going to be some un-lore friendly interior with all these un-lore friendly equipment and props included. Stay tuned if you're interested. Anyways, that's all for now. Thanks for reading.

Greetings, here's a mod that adds a brand new way to light Skyrim. It is based around ENB Lights. The mod comes with three light types (Rim, Fog and Face) each with a variety of colors that can change the "look" of the screenshot. Since the lights are not vanilla based, there is no light or shadow limit. Lights will follow the player and can be moved around using NiOverride Pose Adjustments. The light brightness can also be adjusted in game by tweaking ENB settings (more info below): 

Download v1.0

RRR_ENBLObjects v1.0.zip

ENB Light Objects Features:

• Equip Rim lights for a nice backlit effect on your character (10 colors)
• Equip Fog lights to "paint" the environment different colors (10 colors)
• Equip Face lights to highlight that pretty face (5 levels x 4 colors)
• Equip light Markers to see current position of any light (3 types)
• Use NiOverride Pose Adjustment mod to move and rotate all three types of lights
• Use Wheeler - Quick Action Wheel mod to create "color wheels" for quick access
• Mix and Match different colors and light types
• Fuse lights to produce new colors
• Take some sexy screenshots and videos ?

Requirements
ENB Lights 

NiOverride Pose Adjustments + Objects SE

Wheeler - Quick Action Wheel Of Skyrim (Optional)
Toggle these to true under enbseries.ini: settings

Setting Up ENB Light Objects
Firstly, the lights are equippable items that can be used from default inventory screen. However, I recommend using Quick Action Wheel to store them in groups so it's easier to switch on or off.

Moving ENB Light Objects
If you have used NiOverride Pose Adjustments + Objects SE then you know you can move items using hotkeys. The ENB Light Objects use the same system to move the different lights.

All Rimlight + Foglight Variations

There are a total of 10 different Rim lights and 10 accompanying Fog lights to choose from:

*white not shown
 

All Facelight Variations
There are 4 colors of facelights (neutral, cool, warm, and matrix) each with 5 levels of intensity ( 01 - 05 ) shown in the following Video:
 

Using ENB Light Objects during Sexlab
Lights can also be equipped and moved during sexlab animations:

FAQ
What to do if rim lights aren't showing up properly?

• In the enbseries.ini under [COMPLEXPARTICLELIGHTS] make sure EnableBigRange is set to true
• under [COMPLEXPARTICLELIGHTS] make sure DistanceFadeDay, DistanceFadeInterior, etc. all those are set to a minimum (0.30) like in the enb tweaking video above
• Try changing EnableSkinSpecular to true if above two methods don't work

What to do if you want to reset the lights to original position?
There is a hotkey to reset all edited positions in NiOverride Pose Adjustment

What to do if lights are all white?
Rim and fog lights can be "fused" together to make new colors, if too many lights are fused, they turn white. Unequip and use one light at a time for the colors to show properly.

What ENB am I using?
Silent Horizons ENB with custom tweaks

Big thanks to @donnerwetter for helping troubleshoot all the initial bugs and testing

Some Screenshots

I hope this mod is useful, I will release a version on the forums if v1.0 has nothing buggy, please let me know in the comments if its working for you.

As far as I know there is no way to create realistic reflections in Skyrim, so I wanted to see what it would take to fake mirrors using a bunch of mods. Turns it out takes a lot of mods and a lot of time. (I don't recommend it lol) But, I hope you enjoyed this experiment nonetheless! ?

Mods used to create "Mirror" Effect:
> Project Proteus https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/62934 for cloning npc and player character 
> Timeless Suite https://www.loverslab.com/blogs/entry/13274-timeless-suite-mod-release-lese-version-30/ for props/environment
> Jaxonz Positioner https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/13090 for moving and duplicating objects
> NIOPA Pose Adjustments https://www.daymarrworkshop.com/post/nioverride-pose-adjustments-objects-se for adjusting poses (making certain sexlab animations more symmetrical)
> NIOPA Objects SE https://www.daymarrworkshop.com/post/nioverride-pose-adjustments-objects-se for making custom cellphone and animated tongue props

How It's Done (Video)

Intro

To all who have ENB lights in their mod order, I've figured out a way to attach them to specific clothing/accessories.
It adds extra light not possible in base skyrim engine without ENB. As you can see above, the light has shadows and objects/npcs react to it. Also there's no hard limit on how many lights can be rendered at once. This blog/tutorial was created to show my process.

Description

Basically you need ENB light as a requirement. Modders have added tiny lights to torches/soul gems etc on nexus as standalone mods. But there were also a couple of mods that add lights to weapons and rings. I researched how they added light specifically to the ring (equipment). Credit to StarShowMaster on nexus for discovering this technique. I wanted to replicate it for other items such cyberpunky neon/emmissive accessories. Obviously in this case it's not lore friendly but it can also be used on lore friendlier necklaces or jewels.

Resources on ENB Light

I had an idea a while back to take gomapero's omake collar mod and add an emmissive heartbeat effect to it. I've seen a lot of mods play with emmissives in nifskope adding pulsating color or dynamically changing color. So I just copied the process for omake collar. Specifically adding BSLightingShaderPropertyColorController to the BSLightingShaderProperty.

The collar became a good item for testing ENB light attachment so here's the process:

Process

Part 1: Setting up the Meshes

Part 2: Creation Kit Stuff

Part 3: Nifskope 

Part 4: Things to remember

So I did this with two other accessories to test new abilities of the ENB light:

It's possible to attach a dynamically changing ENB light to your object

The emmissive and the ENB light particle both change color in sync to create this effect.

It's also possible to attach multiple ENB lights of different colors to one object 

There are two ENB light particles (one pink and one blue) attached to the ears.  In short, two magic effects added to the same enchantment in CK:
 

Here's a video of the ENB Light system being turned on and off via complex particles in the ENB menu:
