Dunmeri Great House Robes

Dunmeri Great House Robes

These are made using the vanilla mesh of the Telvanni Robes, and hi-res photos of real fabric from the internet: silk, damask, and velvet, to give the look and feel of rich well-to-do Houses, as in their days of glory.  I also use the House symbols from lore pages, which I altered to accent the outfits.

Background:

Indoril:  Researching the colors of the Great Houses of the Dunmeri, there seems to scant information about Indoril (such as this discussion on GameSas.com).  Here they think white, but I could not find official sources to prove that.  Michael Butchin (who voices and wrote some for Teryn Meru in my AnnaNPCs mod) said they probably chose white for purity, and then he told me gold since it’s the color of the Ordinator armor, so I decided on a mix of both.  Unfortunately, white is the most difficult color to work with b/c it’s so bright unless you get the alpha right.  I've done a few things to tone it down, but still learning about normals.  It looks fine in most indoor lights, only too bright in the sun.

Q: Can you convert this to (fill-in-the-blank) body??

A: Sorry, no.  I don't know how to convert different body types and am too intimidated to learn.  But if someone wants to make a conversion please do so.  I would be happy to host it here and give you credit for the conversion.

CBBE Slim and UNP female conversions are available under "Optional Files."

Q: Why don't the female robes have the symbols on the front?

A: In the _0 mesh the symbols get warped on the boobs part of the mesh so I had to remove them >.<

Update: 4tunit1 has fixed the meshes (vanilla, UNP and CBBE Slim) to fit the texture.

Q: Where can I find them?

A: See Pics!
