Mathy's Repository

Game ready models included are:

- mathy's creations

- free sourced models from the sketchfab community, optimized for skyrim via reducing polycount and fixing geometry.

- 3d scanned museum artifacts and pottery objects, optimized for skyrim via retopology.

Does not include anything vanilla related. Does not include any LE content.

All models are scaled properly and collisions have been applied where appropriate.

Optional .esp included where all the moddels are already added as statics. A modder could merge the .esp with his own pluggin to save time adding those objects one by one. A gamer could use the .esp to add objects here and there for fun, via the CK. Its drag n' drop ready.

Will be adding more packs in time.

THE CONTENT OF THIS MOD IS MEND TO BE FREE.

THE ASSETS INCLUDED ARE NOT AVAILABLE FOR ANY KIND OF PAID MODS OR PROJECTS.

A HIGH POLY (3d scan) TO LOW POLY (skyrim se) A-Z TUTORIAL

Will attempt to share in detail of what i believe is the best and easiest method to convert an extremely detailed model of a 3d scanned real world object down to bethesda's level polycount with maximum visuals and zero FPS cost.

This tutorial is mend to be used by people who do understand the basics of modeling and have at least some minor experience with blender.

This tutorial is mend to be used by people who do understand that optimization and effectiveness is what makes a good gaming asset, not 4k textures and countless unnecessary subdivisions. Polycount is the enemy. Will show you how to beat your enemy in a very elegant and flawless manor.

Software Required

Blender 2. 79 + niftools plugin 2. 6. 0 + Weighted Normals Calculator 1. 2

Alegorithmic Substance Painter

Paint.net (any photo editing software)

STEP A : Prepare your High Poly.

1. If you have a detailed 3d scan of your own, import in blender. If you don't , use this free model. This mango model is the one i am going to use for this tutorial. You may find various raw scans on this site, many of them very very well made. A high poly detailed scan would be one that comes at 1-2 million vertices, without any normal maps.

Since the mango high poly is imported (it may take some time as blender 2. 79 doesn't handle high poly object nicely) proceed with the steps below.

2. Hit numpad 5 to switch to orthographic view, delete camera, lights and cube if those still exist in your blender starting template.

3. Hit SPACE for the search menu to show, spell 'we' and the Weight Normals option will appear 2nd. Select it and be patient until the norm
