I'm working on a replacer for the daedric statues in the vein of Westly's Azura replacer. The meshes in the vanilla game are incredibly detailed (more so than the characters, ironically) but the textures are blurry, unattractive, and do the models absolute shame. So, I made my own. Of these, the only one I can currently show is the Boethiah, as they all use Westly's head textures (edited, obviously), and that's the only one that I've gotten permission for yet. But, as this gains steam and I feel motivated to actually contact Westly again, I'll post more. I've also recolored his Azura statue to match these, so with permission I'll include that in the final compilation so they all match.

Ooh, look very nice. I like this idea indeed! :goodjob:

Thanks. I realized when I was taking the screenshots that I actually need to rework the weapons- they've got some detail, but they're more at the "placeholder" stage right now.

Are there any good pictures of Boethiah's axe in concept art or anything? Is it just flat and lacking in detail?

Oh bless you kind sir!
Ive been dying to see the statues (and vivec?s too) redone with better textures & details, it looks great cant wait to see Molag Bal with a better body

Looks great

Looks good, finally better then just purple blurness lol.

:goodjob:

Boethiah is up on PES. I won't make a release thread until they're all done

Small update to Boethiah. You can see it at PES.

I love it!

I, too, found the daedric statues to have bad texturing in the vanilla game.

You have my download for Boethiah!

He actually has a mouth now! :hehe:

Nicely done!

Heh, that was my first thought when I finished the head texture too.

bump

How is this not in my install folder already? Hope to see some more of these one day.

Perhaps I had a couple more waiting in the wings, but, as you've probably heard me say by now, i sorta lost everything I want to make a less saturated version of this one, and then I'll start working on the others again, hopefully.

give me a nice break from trying to make unique meshes anyway... *grumble mumble*

Really love this replacer, thanks alot. :foodndrink:

I cooked up a personal retexture based on this piece some while ago adding some more detail to the surface and increasing texture resolution even further. It was inspired by look and feel of the daedric/saints statues in Oblivion.

Here are some impressions (all shots from TR territory) http://img709.imageshack.us/img709/4241/mgescreenshot102.jpg http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/3989/mgescreenshot106.jpg http://img638.imageshack.us/img638/3129/mgescreenshot112.jpg http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/1769/mgescreenshot122.jpg

:drool: Very cool!

Incidentally, I need to redo his axe. AGAIN.

Haven't touched the axe yet.

Gorgeous! :thumbsup:
