SMIM Extras - High Poly 3D Deer Skull

FRkNie4-A1Q

This simple mod replaces the horned and hornless deer skulls with real life 3D Scanned models with no esp!

It replaces the static skulls and also the prop skulls that roll around the ground with a new mesh and textures.

There might be some slight clipping in objects with the replaced skulls in some instaces as these models are slightly larger than vanilla deer skulls.

This was a fun learning experience converting a real 3d scanned object to work in the game.

The original model has

Triangles: 450k

Vertices: 224. 9k

I managed to get down to a low poly model of just over 4k tris and verts, i had made higher poly versions that were in the 10k range, you can see them in my user images on my profile, however this made my laptop quite hot when i had a few placed around, so the 4k version will have to do, however it's a much better improvement from the vanilla skull.

Huge thanks to the team at RISDNaturelab for making a beatiful 3D scan of

this majestic animal's skull, and releasing it under CC on Sketchfab.

I Highly reccomend you look at the original versions.

The Original Horned Version is here

The Original Hornless version is here

"White-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus)

Skull without mandible

Native to the Americas, as far north as Yukon to as far south as Peru. Introduced in Europe, New Zealand, and Caribbean islands.

A population of 700 white-tailed deer in Seneca, New York carries a recessive gene for an all-white coat. About 300 of the 700 deer express this gene."

Thank you to those that helped me understand nifscope and texturing a little better  :)
