DETAILED DEATHCLAWS

A true-to-original reskin of the deathclaw to add extreme skin/hide-level detail. Includes rework of all the maps; diffuse, normals, specular, and gloss. See screenshots.
Two versions have been included: a 4k x 4k full resolution version (as used in the screenshots) and a 2k x 2k reduced version. Both are exactly the same except for resolution.
Currently for the base deathclaw; I will work on the rest as time permits.
Usage: Please place the DATA directory into your main fallout program files directory. Make sure modding support is enabled, as follows: http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/news/12645/?
Permissions: Feel free to edit/revise/re-release as you wish, provided proper credit is given.
