📋 About This Mod

THE MOD:

I wanted to remaster and modernize the look of the giants a bit, and while I was at it I thoguht it also would be neat to make them a bit more varied and cooler looking. So I tried it and figured I'd like sharing the result with all of you as well.

What this mod does (main features): 

  • []Remasters the textures, proportions and 3D models of Giants (more detail, resolution, polygons, shading, and new 4 giant variants, plus variety in physique, age, faces, hair and eye color). [/]

    []The textures are edited, certain parts are repainted, some shading is baked in the diffuse texture; the normal maps are remade, new glow maps are made for the eyes and bioluminiscent tatoos. [/]

Example of glowmaps.

  • []The 3D model is also edited, smoothed, subdivided, and sculpted over. The new giants have slightly different faces to the older ones, and there is some variation in eye/cheek/nose shape between individuals.[/]

    []The skeleton.nif is edited; all giants have a more anatomically correct posture, they are a bit larger, with longer legs, bigger thighs/cuadriceps, wider shoulders and bigger chest, as well as slightly more mesomorph proportions (exceptuating the very muscular and the fat versions). They look a lot stronger and imposing.[/]

    Example of the new proportions:

    MORE DIVERSIFIED GIANTS:

    • []There is also variation in skin complexion (there's a younger and older looking variant), hair color (brun, blond, red, and gray) and eye color (yellow, brown, blue and green).[/]

      Comparison between complexions, face structures, and hair/eye/skin colors

      • []The bioluminiscent motives/tatoos also vary in color and shape between individuals.[/]

        []There are also muscular, fat and slim giants.[/]

        Comparison between regular, muscular, and chubby body types.

        The variety between individuals is noticiable but somewhat subtle, all versions still resemble the vanilla design.
