Sigils of Skyrim 4K-2K - Banner and Shield Retexture

Justin, AKA

, is in need of a lifesaving surgery.

to learn more and support the fundraiser. He is dealing with a chronic complex series of issues in his ear canals and intracranial cavities and is unable to work or do many things for himself as his health degrades and threatens his very life.

I am releasing this mod to help bring attention to JDAnchor's urgent need for financial support. Yes, he will be receiving Donation Points from this mod, but he needs lots of money now to pay for this surgery, not small amounts 4 months from now. Please donate to the fundraiser if you can, and share the link with others! Together we can help JDAnchor enjoy many more years of life.

=========================================================================

This mod retextures every banner and hold shield in the game including ones from DLCs in a way to allow them to feel worn, desaturated, look better with ENBs and changes the designs to fit the theme of each hold and faction. Now each new holds sigils are proudly presented on both their banners and guard shields for consistency.

Texture files from the original mod were a mix of 2K and 1K. I have cleaned all files of compression artifacts, and then upscaled them all by 4x, to a maximum resolution of 4K in BC7 compression and generated full mipmaps. I cleaned and upscaled them using Cupscale/ESRGAN and then finalized with NVIDIA Texture Tools and Octagon.

Performance Option for Potato PCs

Mipmaps and BC7 compression reduce VRAM usage, especially when the files are cleaned of compression artifacts.

For Potato PCs, I've uploaded a downscaled version where the diffuse texture files are larger than normal and environment map files, which are less visible in game. This reduces VRAM usage considerably while maintaining higher visual quality, using the Octagon config files posted on this mod, which I recommend using if you have a Potato PC.
