HD Retexture for Blades armor
iojeLU46XXw95oGIKxVv5g nVinmDsihm8°°° main file default resolution is 2048X2048. 4096X4096 and 1024 X1024 available as optional download
°°° As usual, everything has been redone from scratch..including almost all normal maps (just some parts of cloth have been used from original bethesda normal).
°°° since this work replaces meshes is currently not 100% compatible with body modifications as CBBE or UNP for a simple metter of nif shader settings,.. to make such modifications work properly with these textures you need to open respective cbbe/unp nif files for this set and change specularity and glossness values as in nifs inluded here. compatibility patches may be added in future and if someone wants to make his own patch and upload is wellcome, always asking permission when needed and giving proper credits to original meshes authors.
°°° unofficial skyrim patch compatibility added in optional files, it fixes various uvmaps errors and improves the whole look, totally reccomended. author of this patch is Madcat to him goes all my gratitude for the help and the precious advices during all the work on this armor set....we all seriously need more users/modders like him :)
°°° INSTALLATION: chose which version you want to install ,2k, 1k or 4k,use modmanager. OR open the chosen package with 7zip or winrar , drop "textures" and "meshes" inside data folder . apply patch when/if needed.
