I just updated this video without the overlapping music tracks, here: youtu.be/oeZNFx53ahY

Video demonstrating the screen-space indirect lighting (SSIL) effect of ENB series for Skyrim, an effect not yet used in ANY commercial video game. SSIL is an effect where light cast onto one surface is reflected onto other nearby surfaces. It can be considered a 'sister effect' to screen-space ambient occlusion (SSAO), working with light rather than shadow.

Recommended SSAO and SSIL effect settings -- and performance options -- for enbseries.ini:

-SSAO_SSIL-
EnableSupersampling=false
UseIndirectLighting=true
UseComplexIndirectLighting=true -- set False for performance
UseComplexAmbientOcclusion=true -- set False for performance
UseAmbientIndirectLighting=true
SamplingQuality=0
SamplingPrecision=0
SamplingRange=0.25
FadeFogRange=0.5
SizeScale=0.6 -- reduce for performance
SourceTexturesScale=0.6 -- reduce for performance
EnableComplexFilter=true
FilterQuality=0 -- set to 1 or 2 for performance
FilterType=2
AOAmount=1.7
AOAmountInterior=3.0
ILAmount=2.5
ILAmountInterior=0.5
AOIntensity=0.5
AOIntensityInterior=0.65
AOType=2
ILType=0
AOMixingType=1
AOMixingTypeInterior=0
EnableDenoiser=true
