📋 About This Mod

Project Clarity - Vanilla Armor Textures Redone

All weapon textures have been up-scaled with an AI upscaler, processed with a custom photoshop filter, and saved in BC7 file format.

100% Lore/Vanilla friendly.

This can be used as is, to either replace weapon textures, or be used as a base to build on.

This is also a modders resource, feel free to use these textures for

anything and everything you want. Permissions are open. Credit is

preferable but not required.

I took the liberty of modifying the Draugr weapon textures. The wood portion is brown now, and no longer an eye wrenching green. This was the only non-vanilla modification done to the textures.

I also fixed all the mismatched Glass weapon textures.

These are still Bethesda textures, the quality doesn't even come close to

retextures made from scratch; such as, aMidianborn, FrankFamily, And

Gamwich's textures. However they are still better than vanilla, and this

mod should serve as an excellent base for building textures off of.

Update 2. 0

Using Kartoffels excellent Cleaned Skyrim SE Textures as a base, every texture has been redone from scratch.
