Improved Weapon Meshes - Steel

Improved Weapon Meshes: Steel

A TES III: Morrowind Mod by Pherim

Now with Patch for Weapon Sheathing!

Description

After I finished my texture Mod "Real Reflective Weapons - Iron" using Psymoniser's Improved Iron Meshes for the iron weapons as a basis, I realized that if I wanted to continue with retexturing other weapon styles I would need to make new meshes for them myself, since the original meshes are mostly quite crude and have a bad texture mapping, so that even the best textures would only be so much of an improvement. So I decided that I would first create new meshes which would still use the original textures, before I would go on to create new textures for them. I wanted to stay as close to the original design as possible with them, while improving upon the vanilla versions with additional details and better texture mapping, with the ultimate goal of creating a replacer which would fit equally well into a highly modded game as well as one which is meant to stay as close to vanilla as possible.

The first weapon style which I cover with this mod, is the steel category of weapons. Apart from the steel crossbow and the oriental weapons, it contains new meshes for all steel weapons as well as the imperial swords. There are 22 different meshes in total for the following weapons and their variants:

• []Short Bow[/]

  []Steel Arrow[/]

  []Steel (War Axe)[/]

  []Steel Battle Axe[/]

  []Steel Bolt[/]

  []Steel Broadsword (Imperial Broadsword)[/]

  []Steel Claymore[/]

  []Steel Club[/]

  []Steel Dagger[/]

  []Steel Dart[/]

  []Steel Halberd[/]

  []Steel Longbow[/]

  []Steel Longsword[/]

  []Steel Mace[/]

  []Steel Saber[/]

  []Steel Shortsword[/]

  []Steel Spear[/]

  []Steel Staff[/]

  []Steel Throwind Knife (Plugin needed)[/]

  []Steel Throwing Star[/]

  []Steel Warhammer[/]

  []Imperial Shortsword

  [/]

There is no new mesh for the steel crossbow since WH-Reaper's Crossbows mod already contains a very good mesh, even though it is quite different from the original design. Maybe I will provide a new crossbow mesh in the future, which is closer to the original, but until then I recommend using the one from the Crossbows mod, it goes very well with this mod's meshes in my opinion and can be used as a replacer without the plugin file.

The oriental weapons are not included as these are already covered by Psymoniser's Oriental Mesh Improvements Mod, which I recommend to use together with this mod.

There are no textures included in the main part of this mod since all meshes use the texture paths of the vanilla meshes, which means
