Nuclear HDR reflection

[Deumos]

Hi.

 

I'm going insane trying to lessen the nuclear effect of HDR when it reflects off surfaces (buildings, characters).

I've tried to edit these:

[blurShaderHDRInterior]

fBrightScale=0.7500

fBlurRadius=3.5000
[blurShaderHDR]

fBrightScale=0.5000

fBlurRadius=3.0000

 

But it makes no difference, I'm still going blind, even during rainy days:

What can I do to lessen it?

le pictures no work

[Deumos]

They don't? O.o

 

What about direct links?

 

EDIT:

Ah yes, now that I CTRL + F5'd I see that the pictures were no longer showing up. That's strange.

Thanks for letting me know. <.<

I'm no expert but maybe giving Real Light 0.7.2 by Josef K is worth a shot ?

It may seem a bit counterproductive, but how does it look using Bloom Lighting?

 

Another setting that often gets ignored is the master light bar in video settings...if it's above half on my rig, Oblivion gets too bright to play.

HDR imo is only useful for those who like to take lots of scenic screenshots, for actually playing the game Bloom is far better as it gives a much more "warm" feel to the environment.

Yes...I like Bloom for playing as well. But, to each his/her own. Adding Natural Environments also tends to affect the game's lighting.

I'm using All Natural, where it is built in.

Unfortunately, I can't try that as I have a whole bunch of mods that requires HDR to be enabled rather than using bloom. I shall have a look at the brightness bar however, not tried that yet. But nothing else is bright really, just the reflection from light sources on surfaces like walls and skin textures.

set "bDoSpecularPass=0" in oblivion ini file.

Hm, interesting, thank you.

 

I googled it a bit and came up with this:

WARNING : Be careful using the bDoSpecularPass=0/1 performance tweak, it can cause Oblivion to fast crash back to the desktop when in certain areas; Skingrad Castle courtyard for one.

Disabling dDoSpecularPass also appear to be responsible (in whole or in part) for terrain not being effected by fog weather effects; this is where objects in the world - trees, plants, buildings etc. - appear correctly fogged, but the ground surface doesn't, giving the other objects a sort of 'milky' appearance.

While I really want to remove that extreme HDR reflection, I'm not fond of the side effects of disabling this.
