This is a mesh and texture replacer for the Mudcrab creature.
Comes with full PBR support for the MGE XE Physically Based Rendering Prototype.
The model and textures where made from scratch.
Pherim rigged the model to the original skeleton to make it use the original animations.

Quote Hrnchamd: "PBR is an advancement in lighting and texturing that allows your computer to render a greater variety of more complex and beautiful materials. The physics allows them to be consistently interesting in all lighting conditions."
This is still in development and not suggested for your regular playthrough. But it makes sense to have the model already using PBR features as the same implementation will propably be added to OpenMW too.
Please respect the effort that went into this and the fact that I freely share it - please don't upload this anywhere else. Please don't edit texture or model. Please don't include this in any compilation mods.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 814 endorsements and nearly 58k downloads.
- Adds modern PBR materials to a classic creature, making it pop with MGE XE.
- Simple replacer—no new mechanics, just a visual upgrade.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2019—might not be tested with the latest MGE XE builds.
- Requires MGE XE's PBR prototype to see the full effect, so it's niche.
- Only affects mudcrabs—if you want other creatures overhauled, this won't help.
For Morrowind modders who use MGE XE and want their mudcrabs to look modern with PBR. Skip if you're playing vanilla or don't bother with graphics overhauls.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have MGE XE installed and the PBR prototype enabled to see the new materials.
- Use a mod manager like Wrye Mash or Mod Organizer 2 to keep your Data Files clean.
- If mudcrabs look weird, double-check your load order—this replacer should overwrite vanilla meshes.
