xLODGen, DynDOLOD 3.0, and SkyVRaan Tutorial for Enderal VR

EDIT: If using "Enhanced Vanilla Trees", the plugin included with the latest version of the mod has compatibility issues with Enderal VR. To resolve this problem, open the plugin with xEdit and remove the "Worldspace" data.

A comprehensive Enderal VR modding guide on improving terrain, tree, and object LODs using the latest versions of xLODGen and DynDOLOD 3.0 if you wish to mod the game manually without using Wabbajack. Also covers how to improve water using SkyVRaan with the Synthesis patcher. Settings are optimized for performance to ensure that Enderal VR can perform well wirelessly at 90Hz over Virtual Desktop and Air Link.

Although I'm not currently playing Enderal, this video gave me all of the information I needed in a clearly explained and easily understood format. It's a shame that this much effort is necessary to make Skyrim playable in VR, but glad it's an option to revive a game I was never able to get into on a flat screen.

thank you for this massive video, I've been avoiding xLODGen and DynDOLOD cause they seamed so complicated. it's much clearer now :)

I used your tutorial to for skyrim VR not Enderal and it worked very well, thanks.

I never comment on Youtube, but I had to make an exception after watching this excellent guide. Like many others, I've had a hard time grasping Dyndolod. Now everything works although the Dyndolod log is full of warnings but I haven't noticed anything weird so far. I'm on regular Skyrim VR though so I chose to include occlusion. Now I just have to tweak some things since this setup is a bit too heavy for a Geforce 1060 GTX. I get the feeling it's the regular textures more than dyndolod that is to blame for the poor performance. The noise filter is pretty amazing.

using this as a guide for skyrim ae. SO far so good, and the worst part a guide like this for generating my 3d trees is all I've wanted!

I don't use Skyrim VR but instead was just looking to create LODs for enderal SE and this helped a ton, anyone who might feel confused by a some of the VR addages check the comments here and read the forum's DynDOLOD post and that should clear stuff up, not sure if i'd be able to do all this by my own so much thanks Ashok0, you're a gem.

Very helpful tutorial, even for first time user of dyndolod!

[Horsed_Beef]

Can I just ignore the VR aspect and follow these instructions as an install guide for xLODGen and DynDOLOD 3 only?

[joespamerton]

Ashok0, Awesome work I've never done an Enderal Playthrough and this is amazing. Would you share your Synthesis settings? I'd like to try to add ALLGUD, but I'm afraid to break everything else.

"Record [REFR:00012FB4] in file SkyrimVR.esm is being overridden by record [NAVI:00012FB4] in file SkyrimVR.esm. These errors cause CTD and other serious issues and need to be fixed. Ignore wrong advice to temporarily disable plugins."

I keep getting this error in TexGen64, and saw that you posted it in the DynDOLOD forum.
Did you ever manage to fix it? I'd hate to play without DnyDOLOD. Any help would be appreciated!

[karner]

Does this also work for Enderal special edition ?

[dogwater]
