Connary's textures compendium
Complete Morrowind retexture

I am not the creator of this mod, I'm just posting it in Connary's name because most of his threads have been locked for the post limit. I merged all the bits of information given on the upcoming mega pack together in one thread for easy reference and discussing.

I don't know how far he has progressed, but last week he said that it's currently in closed beta.

Here's an overview post with a few screenshots, links to most releases, links to several WIPs (though most of the updates were posted in the main compendium threads above) but it is a bit older than the compendium threads. So please keep in mind that the progress reports on here are not accurate.

The stronghold textures:
- Created a new wall texture more defined.
- Bump mapped of all the stucco walls.
- Changed the meshes to avoid the interior boulder problem (the original are using a exterior dirty terrain texture).
- Changed the door to a wood door like the original concept.
- Tested if the weathered wood from the Furniture wood mod work fine with the stronghold structures.
Changed some pillar meshes to show the correct stronghold weathered wood.

NEW DETAIL: You can see through a hole in the interior doors.

I love Connary's work. Exquisite attention to detail, while keeping true to the original game. I absolutely love what he did with Seyda Neen. Bravo!

» Fri May 27, 2011 4:08 pm

it doesn't even look like morrowind anymore congratulations, fantastic. As always connary great work.

» Fri May 27, 2011 7:35 am

This textures are just phenomenal. The wicked graphics depth and care and time putted to every single detail perspective are totally unbelievable. If these things existed for sale in real shop I would buy them, fare share. That just some words to describe my love and respect for this wonderful MOD. Furthermore, I heard a rumor that there was a weaponry re-texture being made by this amazing artist. Love to know more how's the progress going there.

» Fri May 27, 2011 4:45 am

Hey, just wondering if you where going to tweak the armor meshes in order to make them look more seamless?

» Fri May 27, 2011 7:18 am

Man these new textures/meshes are all extraordinary! I can't wait to see more of this!

» Fri May 27, 2011 7:15 am
