Majestic Mountains

Update notes:

If you have version 4. 01 already installed then you only need to download and install the 4. 02 patch in the update section.

Introduction:

The goal of this mod is a complete mountain rework. The lighting of the mountains was changed in a way to fit much better to dynamic day night cycles and the weather system of Skyrim.

There are several differences to other mountain retextures.

One of the biggest difference is the mountain texture itself. Vanilla Skyrim uses two 4k textures for mountains. But one of this textures was barely used.

While looking into this texture data I've decided to merge the two textures into a big one. I've adjusted the uvw data and created a fitting lod.

And I abused the multilayer parallax shader to get a lot of variations on a mountain.

This causes a very natural geologic look. I wanted to prevent the look of stacked stones as much as possible.

The second big difference is the moss. I've created an optional esp that assigns a projected moss material to the mountains.

This prevents the look of texture tiling very effectively.

The mod also offers a texture pack for everyone who doesn't find fitting landscape textures.

And finally I've managed to get really good transitions from snow covered meshes to snow covered landscape by removing the vertex colors.

I've created three different versions: default, Darkside and Lightside.

These versions should be able to cover up many different lighting, weather or texture setups. There is a big variation of installed mods in the community and I try to be as compatible as possible.

Installation:

Please read the readme before contacting me. I've tried to include the most common problems and the fixes in it.

DynDoLod is requiered for this mod to work properly.

I tried to cover all other important parts of installation, troubleshooting and compatibility in the readme.

You'll find it in the documents section of the mod page and I put it in the installer too.

Compatibility:

[]this mod isn't compatible with other mountain retextures, except retextures that were made for MM
