📋 About This Mod
Compatible with HGEC & Robert Male Bodybase mesh types. For OCOv2 and a few other mods.
Current version update: For this version 2 update the only thing that I changed/replaced are the normal maps (_n) DDS files. I recently checked out Nvidia's texture tools exporter, so these new normal maps are made from using the options from it, not from a plugin for GIMP that I used to use. While some of the texture design details still stand out they did got lowered (especially of the TESA: Redguard Dreekius), the good thing is the shadowing & light reflection on them are better! (by this (most especially on the TESA one) they less likely look like neon lights when in dark areas when light shine on their groove lines)
Actually I have a idea of making a mod that has custom Argonian choices from the character creation menu that will be only for the player. Everything be as like the default Argonian choice, the difference is that the custom player choice would has it's own texture path differ to the NPCs. Think of it in a way as like the various Argonian body marking choices from ESO, from it's Argonian NPCs appearances to during in the character creation where one can choose their appearance.
Anyways, these Argonian textures that are base off Argonians from classic TES games are part of the mentioned mod (If I never make it at least I released these textures for others can have fun with them).
-------
These textures are base off
The Elder Scrolls I: Arena, The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall, & The Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard.
In short, Arena style, Daggerfall style, & Redguard / Dreekius style.
The point of these for players that RP can have fun with them, or for those want a different texture look for the Oblivion Argonians. For myself, I made them out of creativity, my take to try to make the paperdoll sprites from TES 1&2 & the first 3D Argonian as good in Oblivion as textures.
"Why not Morrowind?"
Because well, I just didn't. (Yet? Don't hold me to it.) While it indeed a classic I just did of the more older classics. Like, Redguard is the first TES game to have a Argonian as a 3D model instead of a sprite.
"Why not Shadowkey?"
Base from screenshots I seen online, the character head portrait is basically from Morrowind while the models doesn't help much. Like Arena, one have to be creative & imaginative, but more, while Arena the male paperdoll has a open up shirt that looks like a plated underbelly underneath it, in Shadowkey the only part of the male player model that shows skin is only the head & neck while the body is completely clothed, so yeah not much to work from.
"Why not Skyrim or Blades?"
