Dark Brotherhood Armors Retexture - Early look

Hey everyone!

I started working on the Dark Brotherhood armor. I never really liked this set, so it's hard to come up with any fun design for it. I'm currently going for a simple Vanilla + look. I'm also testing adding an optional full black version, since every single retexture of that set on nexus seems to include one lol.

I'm also not sure if the hood and scarf for the shrouded armor should be made of leather or cloth. What do you guys think?

I'm not sure yet what will...

Update Pass 1 - done! (almost)

Hey everyone!

The update pass 1 is (almost) completed. I say almost because due to a bug with nexus' website, I haven't been able to upload the update to the half res version of the imperial retexture... I'm in contact with support to try to sort this out.

This update pass was meant as a quick pass to fix bugs and add a few items I missed. Update pass 2 will be where I might redo/tweak some whole sets.

For all mods until the Wolf retexture, I added the missing mipmaps fro...

Dwemer Armors and Weapons Retexture SE - Release!

Hey everyone! The dwemer retexture is now out! I hope you all like it!

Next week, I will update my previous retextures (mainly fix mipmap bugs and add a few missing items, nothing major for now)

Thanks everyone!

Dwemer Armor and Weapons Retexture SE - Preview

Hey everyone!

I just finished the last few textures for the dwemer retexture. I will do the before/after screenshots and the mod page tomorrow, so you can expect it to release tomorrow evening (so in about 24 hours after this post goes live)!

This is far from everything included in the mod, but I took all the "main items" from my retexture and did a little showcase of what they look like with the vanilla cubemap, Ancient Dwemer Metal cubemap and Golden Dwemer Pipeworks Redone cu...

Dwemer Armors and Weapons Retexture SE - WIPs

Hey everyone! The dwemer retexture is coming along pretty well. There are just a ton of items. I am about 75% done with the whole thing. I've mostly been working on the weapons and the armor pictured above is the Warden of seasons set (you need the LOTD CC patch for it to use a custom texture, otherwise it uses the vanilla dwemer armor texture paths)

Also, I added an update pass to the roadmap, after the dwemer retexture. I originally intended to only have one update pass, at the end, ...

Dwemer Armors and Weapons Retexture SE - Early look

Hey everyone! Here's an early look at the dwemer retexture.

• Aetherium Armor and Weapons Compilation

Dwemer Retexture - Consistency patches

Hey everyone! I started working on the dwemer retexture, over the weekend. Since there are a ton of mods that add dwemer items out there, I wanted to make sure I am not forgetting any major ones, when it comes to consistency patches. Are there any popular mods you'd like me to cover? (please keep it to armors and weapons only). So far, I am looking at these:

LOTD

 Oblivion artifacts

 Elsopa's quivers

Forgotten city

Tools of kagrenac

Nordwar UA...

Nightingale Armor and Weapons Retexture SE - WIP

Hey everyone! First of all, welcome to all the new patrons! Our flock grew a lot in the last month, and I am extremely grateful for it!

Here's a sneak peek of the nightingale armor, coming in the next retexture. I really wanted to emphasize that it's an armor given to you by nocturnal and only given to the best thieves. For that reason I scaled back on the scratches and damage, compared to my other leather armors. I also added metal trims and two shades of leather, to make it more visu...

Falmer Armors and Weapons Retexture WIP

Hey everyone! Here's an early look at the falmer armor.

This retexture will cover all falmer sets (light, heavy, shield and the unique chest piece worn by falmer shamans), all weapons (sword, waraxe, bow, quiver and staff) and have a consistency patch with lotd (it adds recolors of both falmer sets used during one of their quests).

The textures used by the wearable armors are the same ones used by the falmer enemies. But I won't touch the falmer themselves, so it will be compati...

Leather Armors Retexture SE - Fur armor early WIP

Hey guys! Here's a 1st look at the fur armor retexture, I started working on. I am trying to give the fur a bit more depth than what I did for the hide and scaled set. Do you guys like how it looks here? If so, I'll go back and apply the same effect to those sets (especially since it's not time-consuming at all)

Thanks!

Leather WIPs and Update

Hey everyone,

Here is a first look at my leather retexture. I've only done the male vanilla leather set so far.



To go back on my last "update" post, the difficult time I was referring to was my dad's passing. It was very sudden/unexpected and we are all still trying to process it. I have lots of ups and downs, but I've been trying to get back into my retextures because it always helps me feel better. I might "lay low" in the sense that I'll be slow to reply to comments/D...

Half-Res versions texture sizes

Hey everyone! I recently realized that most of my older half-size versions don’t have any mipmaps. It was an error in my CAO settings. I’m sorry about that. I plan on going back and updating all the older ones, but before I do, I wanted to see if you are all happy with the way I do these half sizes version or if you’d like them to be different. Also, if you have any issues with how I do my FOMODs or suggestion, please leave them in the comments. I’ll leave this post public to hopefull...

Update

Hey everyone, I just thought I’d post a little update. I will most likely post less in the coming weeks. My family and I are going through a very difficult time right now and I am trying to focus on being there for each other. Art is also a way for me to let my feelings out and distract myself during difficult situations, so I will keep doing some, in my free time.

I know I don’t necessarily owe anyone an explanation, but as my patrons, I wanted to at least give you all a...

Carved Nordic Armors and Weapons Retexture SE - out now!

Nordic Carved Weapons WIPs

sneak peak at the nordic carved weapons. Decided to include the scabbard from Leanwolf's better shaped weapons and elsopa's quiver. I still have to do the vanilla quiver, Bloodskaal blade and Hrothmund's axe. I'm pretty happy with how all these weapons came out, I might just tweak the leather on elsopa's quiver a bit
