Discussion & Update:

Regarding lore friendliness of the appearance of the flora "Violet Coprinus" & "Luminous Russula" in my project. The overall appearance I aimed for was a personal interpretation of those flora based on their names, but as the wiki states:

http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Violet_Coprinus

"Violet coprinus is a tall, slender-stemmed, light-green-capped mushroom of the Bitter Coast region with modest magical properties."

http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Luminous_Russula

"Luminous russula is a squat, mottled-brown-and-green toadstool mushroom of the Bitter Coast region with modest magical properties."

So I am planning to make alternative replacers.

Current update on the types of texture maps to be used and are used in some of the screenshots/previews are base texture maps, bump maps, & glow maps.
