Better Bellows - Blacksmith Forge Mesh Improvements

The octagonal pullies of the vanilla blacksmith bellows really started to look out of place in my modded Skyrim. So I decided to give the blacksmith bellows a higher poly make over.

All variants of the blacksmith marker mesh is updated, that being: Farmhouse, Whiterun, Skyforge, Ravenrock and the two clutter versions.

SMIM meshes were used as a base and then I doubled the polygon count of round objects, like the pillars supporting the bellows and the aforementioned pullies. The higher poly models were then smoothed to create a rounder less sharp edged look to the circular objects. Some clutter objects were added for more visual variety.

Compatibility:

This mod replaces only the mesh files, no plugin/ESP included. Textures are included in the download for the additional clutter items only, as I have given them dedicated texture paths to ensure maximum compatibility. Textures for the main parts of the new meshes will be determined by your own load order.

The screenshots feature ElSopa's beautiful HD Grindstone Redone (it is not included as part of this mod, but highly recommended) as well as Mindflux's Embers XD (only available for the SE version) and ElSopa's HD Medieval Anvil.

I tested the mesh replacements with Immersive Smithing and they are compatible.

An optional integration of Skeleton Replacer HD - SE is available here: Skeleton Replacer HD - DLC2 Forge Clutter Add On

Various different versions are available for download to ensure compatibility with the various other mods that change the blacksmith markers.

Please note the requirements of each.
