3D blacksmith

Blacksmith forge transformation.

I was under the impression that I would be able to complete this mod in a weekend, but it turned out to be a mission accomplished. The mesh is very complex, with animations, markers and all this nonsense involved. There may be room for improvement, but I think the current state is good enough for a first release. Will continue to work on the model.

content

Includes new models and textures for blacksmith benches, sharpening wheels, forges (including all odds and ends and fresh embers), anvils, hammers, pliers, and more

The new model of the forged bellows is not included as the animation complexity is beyond my current level of knowledge.

compatibility

Incompatible with any retexturing related to the blacksmith. You can install mods like this but my models will not be affected.

Compatible with SMIM, the brumberk fix "forwarded" on my model. You must override SMIM when installing, or override SMIM, depending on the mod manager you use.

If using the Embers mod, this must also be overridden upon installation.

performance

All meshes are optimized to be very light, in some cases lighter than vanilla. This is not a high polygon and it does not impact performance.

Texture resolution varies between 4k and 1k.

FAQ

I like object A, but I don't like object B. Can you make a version without object B?

No. Download, unzip, get what you need, delete the rest.

Will you upload all 1k textures for people with old rigs?

No. Download the paint.net and dds extensions and scale the textures to any resolution you like.

Can you make a version that matches my texture pack?

No.

Can I suggest improvements?

yes thank you very much

I was under the impression that i would be able to complete this mod over a weekend but it turned out to be quite the task. The meshes are very complicated, animations, markers and all these crap involved. There is room for improvement probably but i think that the current state is more than enough for a first release. Will keep working the models.

Does not include new model for the forge Bellows, since the animation complexity is beyond my current level of knowledge.

COMPATIBILITY

Incompatible with any re-texture of the blacksmith related. You may install such mods, but my models wont be affected.

Compatible with SMIM, brumberk fixes are 'forwarded' on my models. You have to overwrite SMIM upon installation or give priority to this over SMIM, depending on the mod manager you use.

If you use the Embers mod, you will also have to overwrite upon installation.

PERFORMANCE

All meshes are optimized and they are extremely light, in some cases lighter than vanilla. This is not a high poly mod, it wont affect the performance.

Texture resolution varies between 4k and 1k.

FAQ

I like object A but i dont like object B. Can you make a version without object B please?

No. Download, unpack, get what you need, delete the rest.

Would you upload all 1k textures for people with old rigs?

No. Download paint.net and the dds extension and scale your textures to whatever resolution you like.

Yes, it would be very much appreciated
