Another great imperial retex? you guys will drive me crazy..

Looks cool. Did you edit the meshes too?

No, I've thinking about it for more uniqueness of some buildings. But when I do this, the great window glow mod wouldn't work anymore.

I have been working on the imperial buildings for inclusion in 'mesh fix' in an attempt to get rid of the seams .

This is the one used for the Seyda Neen census and excise building , In the mesh fix variant seams have been eliminated by re doing the UV map in blender on the corner pieces and the horizontal seam on the walls that you see with some textures is eliminated because vanilla has 2 model parts for the wall sections whereas the mesh fix model uses only 1. The mesh fix model requires the wall textures to be adapted to look right in game but is simple to do and i will probably make compatibility textures for existing imperial texture replacers , and modders will be welcome to use the mesh fix models if they want to ensure users enjoy seamless versions of their work.

In the building used for Arille's tradehouse , there are a lot of seams on the lower wall section because seams tend to occur where model parts join and also because the two textures used don't always match. The walls in the vanilla model uses 2 textures and 13 pieces which don't fit together seamlessly , by contrast the wall on the mesh fix model is 1 piece and uses 1 texture and is seamless.

Thank you for your reply - I was wondering about how you achieved the effect on the stonework in screen (2). Is it a bumpmap?

No bumpmap. Only one month of hard work for this textur.

The ivy texture isn't mine.

Effective use of the shade tool. Is the ivy Korana's?

I would personally lower the gamma of the thatch texture somewhat - it appears to be much brighter than the other textures in the screenshot.

Looks pretty cool Cloud!

I had one idea/suggestion. The window texture you use is pretty great looking but it's the type of thing I think I'd notice being repeated in every window pretty fast. I wonder if it'd be beyond the scope of your replacer to make different imperial buildings use different window textures. A commoner's house might have blander windows and then a noble's home might have windows such as those shown in your latest screenshots.

I looked again at this pic - http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/9643/mgescreenshot052.jpg and see now that it's the light, not the texture, that causes it to be so bright in your other screenshot.

I had just to rework the texture.
How does it look to you?

Ohyes, I like it!

It would be really cool to have that as a creature


EDIT: Btw, where do you find the model?

not bad. if you can get it to start in a crouched position. that would be awesome.

I found it here
