Description:

Replacement normal maps for Jon Satriani's Telvanni Tileset

=================
Details:
=================

!Requires Jon Satriani's Telvanni Tileset!

I was somewhat dissatisfied with what I felt were rather lackluster normal maps in the Telvanni Tileset for Oblivion... At fisrt, I was going to try and add parallax mapping to some meshes, but in-game, I realized that what it really needed was just some better normal maps. So, I set out to make them. This replaces every single normal map utilised by the tileset, and (in my opinion) dramatically heightens the graphical quality, at no cost (all my maps are the same size as the originals). I hope you enjoy

What does RELz stand for?

Cool

If you want to see it in a mod, I would recommend very highly bg2408's http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=22320, which uses my tileset.

Glad people are still interested in this resource!

What does RELz stand for?

It's REL for released + an extra character to make it searchable (minimum 4 characters for a search term) - convention is a 'z'

So, we're now working on a set of replacement textures for Plangkye's old Morrowind ones, at 1024x1024 instead of the original 512x512. Some of the textures are easy to recreate (bark, bark w/ sap, etc.), but the more esoteric ones (like the exterior mushroom pod walls, and the interior ceilings) are more difficult. I'm sure that we can come up with something, but I'd appreciate any ideas on how we might go about doing those. If anyone knows how Plangkye did them for his original pack, that would help immensely, but mostly, I'm just asking for ideas. Anything can help!

Thanks in advance
