I've taken a break from modding and have been playing a lot in Skyrim lately - one of the things I have really enjoyed is the art style of the books - many are grungy and worn - or even ruined (though the book lover in me is horrified at those) - most of the books have pages that are hanging out and are tattered and torn

So I put down my controller this evening and decided to make my own dirty versions of the Morrowind books

Tthis might or not turn into a WIP and if it does I'm not sure if it will be a replacer or just a resource - in any case it is kind of nice to keep my hand in modding even if it is just for a bit of fun

Here's the first few dirty books I did

I had to invent my own book edge and am still tossing around whether it has too many pages or not - though you probably can't tell from the angles I took these screenshots from

Those books look great! I especially like the 3.d one. Nice work!

Just 297 more to go and you could release a welcome alternative to Book Jackets.

Seriously though, whatever project they end up in, they look good.

Very, very nice. They look so... real. Remember me of my old library when I was a child...
I hope they'll make their way into a full mod!

...though when I first saw the thread title I was unsure if it was about old, stained books, or books with bawdy tales.

Those could be arranged.

Looks beautiful! Though it seems appropriate that Dunmer take better care of their books than those barbarian Nords--just like they take better care of their personal hygiene. Actually, I cannot tell you how frustrating I find it that there is not a single bookstore in all of Skyrim. I'm an English major! Where's my virtual Barnes & Noble since I can't afford the real one?!

I don't use book jackets, but I would certainly look into using these. You should finish and release them, Illy.
