for rafael's lighting shader

NOTE: rafael's lighting shader has to overwrite the engine files in OpenMW\resources\shaders\. it can not be installed as a virtual folder

Other notes:

The "normal mapped for OpenMW" mods add awful shimmering to doors and some other objects. it's not this mod that causes it.

i'm working on making rafael-compatible pbr for that mod too

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

A compact mod that adds PBR (physically-based rendering) support to armor, Dwarven ruins, and other metal surfaces for Rafael's lighting shaders in OpenMW. With 17 endorsements and 966 downloads, it's a niche enhancement for players using that shader setup. Last updated December 2025.

✨ Key Features

Adds PBR textures for armors, Dwarven ruins, and other metals
Designed for use with Rafael's lighting shaders
Compatible with Morrowind Enhanced Textures

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Tiny but dedicated following (17 endorsements) — if you're into OpenMW PBR, this is a niche gem
  • Targets a specific need: making metals look properly shiny and realistic under Rafael's shaders
  • Recent update (December 2025) means it's likely kept in step with current OpenMW builds

⚠️ Cons

  • Very low endorsement count (17) — could be under-tested or just ultra-niche
  • Requires Rafael's lighting shaders and Morrowind Enhanced Textures — not a standalone drop-in
🎯 Is This For You?
For OpenMW players who've already installed Rafael's lighting shaders and want their armor and Dwarven ruins to pop with realistic PBR reflections. Skip if you're on vanilla Morrowind or don't use those shaders — this mod won't do anything for you.
📦 Install:Medium· 5-10 minutes

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure you've got Rafael's lighting shaders installed and working before adding this — otherwise the PBR textures won't show up.
  • If you're using a mod manager like MO2, install this after Morrowind Enhanced Textures so it overwrites the right files.
  • Test in a Dwarven ruin like Arkngthand to see the metal reflections — that's where the difference is most obvious.
