About this mod Machine translation
This mod provides high quality textures and many mesh fixes for the gorgeous armor.
Introduction and summary
The Brilliant Armor is a beautiful piece of armor pieced together from sarcasticshark: it has a very unique and elegant aesthetic, but I feel it could use some improvements to take it to the next level. This mod contains full textures of the armor made from scratch in high resolution, as well as a ton of mesh fixes, mainly including clipping fixes, mismatched vertex fixes and closing some open areas to allow visibility inside the mesh. Some meshes have been redone from scratch (stock models) and now represent actual armor with full realism. I've invested countless hours into this mod (a lot indeed) and hope you find the results worth it. What I'm saying now is this: I couldn't improve the awesome armor even if I tried.
Feature list-
Brand new high resolution and great armor textures (excluding the tattered version and the great sword as I have no particular interest in that)
- Two versions available: 4k compressed diffuse, 4k compressed specular and 4k uncompressed normal (this version gives the best look but is very demanding); 4k compressed diffuse, 4k compressed specular and 2k uncompressed normal (this version looks very similar to the other version but performs better and is recommended for use in games)
- Extensive clipping fixes to the mesh (ie: cloth being cut through) the breastplate when performing certain animations, the belt clipping a lot on the chestplate, the leather gloves clipping off the metal hand guards, weapons and spells being wielded, etc. )
- Fixed many mismatched vertices for the mesh; the mesh now also has closed areas, allowing you to see to your heart's content
- New UV mapping for all stretch meshes that get rid of textures
- New mesh for the inventory model, giving an accurate representation of actual armor

-First release
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
