About this mod
Dwemer automatons with a cleaned-up retexture. Original 1K and higher resolution 2K with file sizes equal to those of Bethesda's.
- Permissions and credits
The Dwemer automatons have had need of a retexture for a long time. The original textures were pixelated/grainy and at the same time very shiny. I wanted to enhance the reflectiveness of the metal and get rid of the blotchy ugliness of the original texture. These textures affect more than just the automatons/centurions. You'll see them in clutter, chests, many of the modded weapons, modded creatures (Immersive Creatures for example). This is currently the best retexture on Nexus or anywhere that I'm aware of. Don't believe me? Try it out for yourself and please leave a comment and/or endorsement. I'm open to any constructive comments regarding improvements you have.
The sphere centurion's hand has now been changed from a orange pixelated glove looking thing to a shiny new mechanical hand. The steam centurion's crest on top of his head has been changed to look more like that of the original concept drawing. The dwarven ballista's resolution is now 1K and 2K instead of the 512 and 1K of the original. The ballista was also missing environment mapping and an environment mask so I added them for that reflective shininess. Color of the new textures should be the same as the original ones.
RECOMENDATIONS:
Change of cubemap to one found in SkyRealism (48526) or HD Better Reflections (1197). The cubemap Bronze_e.dds is the one used by the automatons. The one found in HD Better Reflections is more detailed but is clearly an image from an outdoor scene. SkyRealism's more general purpose but the name needs to be changed from SR_Dwarven_e.dds to Bronze_e.dds.
FUTURE:
I'll be working on the Forgemaster next. I'll be taking a break from this project for a short time to finish the Dwemer metal found in ruins for my Granite Markarth and Dwemer Ruins mod. When the Forgemaster is finished I'll be adding more detail to the spider centurion. 4K uncompressed files will be made available soon as a resource.
PERMISSION:
If you want to base your textures on these for whatever reason, then feel free to do so. I do require anyone who does so to credit me on their description page. I've spent a long time cleaning these textures, for which I'm well aware, making them great for well... modding. I'm curious to see what anyone will do with these.
