📋 About This Mod
a set of normalmaps based on flash's intelligent textures. textures were handpainted before being used to generate normalmaps, then resized and compressed to minimize disk and VRAM usage.
this mod is compatible with vanilla textures, but the Intelligent Textures mod is highly recommended.
this mod is technically compatible with vanilla morrowind, but doesn't include any meshes, and without them it has no effect in vanilla. the mod is plug and play for OpenMW.
this release includes most of the normalmaps created by the date specified in the version. some miscellaneous textures may be missing but will likely be included in later updates. the AIO will include most of the textures too insignificant to warrant their own modpage.
make sure you have normalmaps enabled in settings.cfg
auto use object normal maps = true
auto use terrain normal maps = true
recommended to use with Intelligent Textures https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/47469

recommended to use with Improved Shield Meshes https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/47931
