📋 About This Mod
These files are intended as modders resources, although they are structured in a way that you should be able to use them as replacers pretty easily. In my own brief experimenting in the GECK I have found that none of the lighting templates or lights really fit with these textures. I would recommend using your own lighting settings to suit your mod, but there two settings I have a recommendations for. I would set fog power to 1. 0 or a little higher, and directional lighting from directly above. One other thing I want to note is that I left the vertex shading intact. Since the game engine isn't really capable of realistic lighting and shadows, everything looked really stark without it.
UPDATES
7/27/11 I finally uploaded the Industrial Machines. They've been ready for quite a while, but I kept forgetting to pack them up and upload them.
7/16/11 An .esp file for the main package is now available as an optional download.
7/14/11 The first Light Fixture Pack is now uploaded. There are seven different light styles, with each having an "on" and an "off" version, for a total of 14 clean lights. The large industrial machines will likely be next. The defaults are in meshes\clutter\industrialmachines if you aren't sure what they are.
7/14/11 If you have already downloaded the main file, you will need to download the missing floor texture from the optional files section. Thanks to Vampir2005 for pointing it out. If anyone finds anything else I missed or anything that looks messed up, please let me know.
7/13/11 Included in this first pack are all of the actual components to build a level. In a few days I will upload other components like additional doors, clean light fixtures to match everything else, and the industrial machinery pieces. Also thanks to Interfer0 for his instructional video for getting models from Sketchup into the game which you can find here: http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=36694
