📋 About This Mod
I know the original is complex material, but its only for a handful of materials. So I expanded it to all materials.
Description
Complex Material is a new way to introduce more complex glossy-spec based shading and parallax.
The environment map mask texture was repurposed to make use of each channel, to include any necessary maps for glossy spec shading.
PBR (Physically Based Rendering) is an approach for materials and rendering that creates more accurate and predictable results than vanilla rendering techniques, and works very well with dynamic lighting conditions (like time-of-day).
This addon will ensures that materials like metal, wood, and fabric behave consistently under different lighting conditions. Improving the textures with reflectiveness, roughness, metallic shade, and parallax.
Requirement
Terrain Helper
Community Shaders (for PBR)

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid download count (43k) shows real demand for this enhancement.
- Recent update (Dec 2025) means it's actively maintained.
- Takes SRP's already great textures and pushes them further with PBR.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 81 endorsements compared to downloads—could be niche or underappreciated.
- Requires SRP and likely a PBR-capable ENB, so it's not plug-and-play for everyone.
- Compatibility risk with other texture overhauls that modify the same files.
For Skyrim modders who already use Skurkbro's Retexture Project and want to squeeze out extra visual fidelity with PBR and Complex Materials. If you're not running an ENB that supports these features, this mod won't do much for you.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have an ENB that supports PBR and Complex Materials, otherwise the mod won't have any visible effect.
- Load this mod after SRP in your mod manager so it overwrites the base textures correctly.
- Check the mod's comments for any specific ENB settings or patches needed.
