📋 About This Mod
Accingite Vos \"Gird yourself\".... with these HQ re-textured from scratch prettier shields. =========================================== This is primarily a First Person View mod. A shield takes up a third of your screen a huge percentage of time. This mod makes them easier on the eyes. The comparison screenshots speak for themselves. ALL of these textures were mostly handpainted with a wacom tablet while trying to maintain the original look as much as possible. Assets were used from cgtextures or generated via Filter Forge. Each shield took upwards of 5 hours of work. It was a great learning experience. ============ INSTALL INFO ================= To Install these re-textures: Unpack the .rar (specifically the /data folder) into your Skyrim directory. To Uninstall just delete the files. =========================================== NOTE: I\'ve done all the shields (hopefully) other than Ysgramor (already done by kxperience) and Spellbreaker shield thats coming soon as an update.. Shield of Ysgramor: http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=2121 Lower resolution/smaller pack a bit later, gimme some time. Even if you have an old system I\'d advise the high res pack as there is virtually no performance loss. ============= Enjoy this mod. -Alex aka. Cylone
