Alecu's 4K Stylish Pirate Armor SE UNP BHUNP CBBE

SE Conversion of Alecu's original mod, featuring a craftable and temperable set of cuirass and hat

I optimized meshes and updated the FormID, plus made it esl-flagged

I also changed  from Clothing to Light Armor, reduced the stats to the same as scaled armor, updated the values, and made it temperable.

Thanks to xavier0self, there's a BHUNP version

and thanks to sattyre, there's a CBBE version

both have Bodyslide

As of Version 2. 2, I have Cleaned all Texture files, removing Compression Artifacts and Converting them to BC7 format, AND upscaled all textures by 4x, to a maximum of 4k resolution.

Performance Options for Potato PCs

Mipmaps and BC7 compression reduces VRAM usage, especially when the files are cleaned of compression artifacts.

For Potato PCs, I've uploaded downscaled versions where the diffuse texture files are larger than normal and environment map files, which are less visible in game. This reduces VRAM usage considerably while maintaining higher visual quality, using the Octagon config files posted here.

These are optional texture-only addons and require the main file.

Choose either:

2k/1k for Baked Potatoes

or

1k/512 for Mashed Potatoes

If you want full 2k or full 1k, etc, then use Cathedral Assets Optimizer

================================================

Original description:

Pretty nonstandard and detailed clothes in which I modeled many details.

The hat and the main amor can be crafted, quite costly but you can cheat :P

I really enjoy modeling so I took the liberty of modeling lots of things into these clothes. I also baked some base shadows, ambient occlusion and other stuff into them

They are quite provocative but I tried to keep it to a limit. Since the beta version I fixed a lot of bugs, the hat now works, the body slider works better for fat characters, seams are fixed

and hat works too.

I do not want to hear complaints about having too many polygons. It has 120k polygons, I know but modern game characters have around 30 to 40k, and I do have a 50k model if you want to convert it :P.

I could have done a better job of lowering the polygons, I know but I decided not to since I do not have enough time. I wresled with a lot of issues. And I have other things to do in real life.
