How do I adjust the lighting on skin?


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

I'll explain this as best as I can.

I'm trying to take some screenshots for a new preset mod, but I'm having an issue where the light from the sun makes my character's skin way too bright, so it's hard to see the details, especially in the butt and breasts. Disclaimer, this isn't the new preset. It's just an example.

Is there a setting in ENB or something that can adjust this without messing up the overall lighting?

In enbseries.ini look under [SUBSURFACESCATTERING] and check the following:

Amount

EpidermalAmount

SubdermalAmount

 

If these values are too high this can exacerbate aggressive direct lighting.  If IgnoreWeatherSystem is not set to true then the ENB preset you're using is garbage.

That does help. Thanks!

 

On a side note, why does IgnoreWeatherSystem need to be set to true?

If not set to ignore the weather system, SSS will use per-weather settings.  If not set in the individual weather ini files it will revert to default values which will be wrong.  Set IgnoreWeatherSystem=true and all weathers will use the values defined in enbseries.ini.
