A set of terrain parallax supporting textures for pine forests...
not much to say, textures speak for them selves ;)
well one thing: watch out for the snail!

PLEASE NOTE:

ENB is not absolutely necessary but if you use one make sure
"FixParallaxBugs=true" in your "enblocal.ini" is set. Same for "FixParallaxTerrain"
A fix for ENB's terrain parallax is not needed
I highly suggest to add a plant mod like Skyrim Flora Overhaul, Unique Grasses and Groundcovers or Tamriel Reloaded...

about PARALLAX
In simple words, parallax is a advancement of normalmapping...
though the depth-information doesn't get simply "drawn" on the surface, it rather warps
the texture itself in the desired direction.
You can imagine the parallax-texture as kind of radar map like the NASA ones from Venus.
The depth effect can get triangulated out of it.
It is not as sophisticated as high end Tessellation and a much older technique, but still nice :)
