📋 About This Mod
A modern take on the Imperial architecture to fill the gap between Morrowind and the more recent TES installments.
Description
Another installment of my "Reimagined" series. Using Realistic Imperial Forts as a base, i wanted to add some continuity between Morrowind and more recent TES games in terms of Imperial forts appearance.
-
[]I'm trying to preserve the green look of the original textures in some sense by applying moss to surfaces. Makes sense considering the general weather and vegetation of Morrowind (i'm aware it depends on the region, but still...)[/]
[]The stone color is grey/dark grey, more or less reflecting the general color of the rocks and giving some similarity to what we see on more recent games[/]
[]The appearance of the walls, big rectangular blocks with round corners is also inspired by recent games, specially Oblivion and at smaller scale, Skywind showcases. [/]
Installation instructions
Install as any other texture mod.
Recommended settings for OpenMW (settings.cfg):
force shaders = true
clamp lighting = false

[]Godrays [/]
Main features
-
[]2k retexture of the Imperial Forts[/]
[]Normal and Spec maps included. Keep in mind that the spec maps were created for the vanilla shader. Feel free to remove them if you are using a custom shader and find the textures too shiny. [/]
[]Atlas textures included[/]
[]Will apply to all forts on Morrowind, including the main land. Will not apply to forts on Cyrodiil (i plan to remake those in the future)[/]
[]Works with vanilla and OpenMW (although spec maps only work on OpenMW)[/]
