Hvergelmir's Shield Retexture - HSR

Hvergelmir's Armor Retexture - HAR is an on-going frequently updated retexture project that aim to eventually have every piece of armor (and shields through Hvergelmir's Shield Retexture - HSR) in the game updated with a new hand painted high resolution texture, that stay true to the lore and style of vanilla Skyrim (and TES in general). The new textures will be double (200% width, 200% height) the size of the original textures that show a lot more detail than vanilla textures ever did. With additional detail work and highly detailed normal maps, each armor piece will truly come to live and actually look authentic and realistic.

This is a separated side mod based on Hvergelmir's Armor Retexture - HAR. It was decided the separate the shields from the armor retexture project for several reasons. It is still highly recommended to use Hvergelmir's Armor Retexture - HAR alongside Hvergelmir's Shield Retexture - HSR, but not necessarily required.

Hvergelmir's Armor Retexture - HAR is first and foremost a high-quality retexture mod, but it is also a realism mod. That means when I see fit I'll make subtle changes to the original texture to give it more true earth-colors or change some of the material to other material. A good example here is how I changed the silver ornamental parts of the Iron Armor sets to bronze instead. It is (in real life) unrealistic that a warrior wearing the cheapest heavy armor set available will have silver ornamentals on his armor, instead (at least for Vikings), it was more common to have bronze ornamentals. Only the richest of people could afford silver and only kings and people of high importance could afford gold - I know that these metals are easier to come by in this game, but it is still my way to add realism to the game.

Hvergelmir's Armor Retexture - HAR is for all races and genders, without exception.

Please note that I work in a specific order from low to high tier shields as seen on this list, but even more importantly I follow the list on Hvergelmir's Armor Retexture - HAR, this list is secondary.

That concludes the full shield list, including unique and artifacts. If there are something missing here, feel free to enlighten me - just make sure the item doesn't use the same texture as any other item on the list.
