📋 About This Mod
This mod is a high resolution total re-work of the vanilla storm atronachs. The original ones were well done and impressive, but they need bringing up to date for the modern modded game.
Key features:
~Complete hi-res re-work of the texture, normal map and glow map, keeping the original style, but with a much more solid grainy appearance.
~Most of the seams re-touched in Blender.
~Addition of a variable glow effect from the hotter more charged parts of the rocks.
~Material variables altered to give a harder, higher-contrast look.
In addition, there is an optional texture-replacer provided to make the shock-effect look subtler and much sharper. Be aware that this will replace the shock effect throughout the whole game, so if you are already using a replacer, make a backup of it before installing.
A high-resolution visual overhaul for Skyrim's storm atronachs, adding a variable glow effect. This mod replaces the default appearance with a more detailed texture while keeping the creature's core design. Ideal for players seeking enhanced creature visuals without altering gameplay.
