burnt wood

Changed the mesh of charred rubble to use textures from mindflux's Embers HD mod. Excellent fix for the weird orange glow caused by Iconic's Woodfires!

Purpose

While I enjoy playing with Iconic's Woodfires, these textures have a weird side effect in that they make long-cooled burnt rubble glow a bright orange and generally don't look that good. This is because the default mesh for this gravel uses a variety of textures to achieve the vanilla look of slightly glowing charred wood. This mod modifies the mesh of charred rubble, using textures from mindflux's Embers HD mod, to achieve a thoroughly charred and cooled look for Helgen and other locations.

The base mod does not include or replace any texture files. It only modifies the texture allocation in the mesh. The glow alternative mod adds a glow map.

Purpose

Although I love playing with Iconic's Woodfires, the textures have an odd side effect in that they make long-cooled burned rubble glow bright orange and generally not look very good. This is because the default meshes for this rubble use an odd assortment of textures to achieve the vanilla look of slightly-glowing burnt wood. This mod modifies the meshes for burnt rubble to use textures from mindflux's Embers HD mod instead, achieving a thoroughly charred and cooled look for Helgen and other locations.

The base mod does not include or replace any texture files. It only modifies texture assignments in the mesh. The glowing alternative mod adds one glow map.
