Ryan's Shrine

Texture mode, which greatly improves Skyrim's shrines.

renew

The wrong file was initially available for download. The correct file has been uploaded and is available for download. The file available for download is my Whiterun mod, but called Ryan's Shrines. I'm still scratching my head here as to what this is all about. If you downloaded version 1.0.0 (which only a few people do), delete it and download version 1.0.1. The correct file size is approximately 37mb.

This mode brings Skyrim and its shrines of art from darkness into light. Like the shrine itself, Vanilla Shrine's artwork is largely lost in darkness and low resolution. this mod

Increased shrine resolution from 512 to 1K, restored original artwork, and illuminated each shrine.

detail

Carefully hand-edited diffuse map, custom normal map and custom mesh. Resolution increased from 512 to 1024K.

performance

Carefully designed for performance: All maps are 1K and heavily compressed, except for the uncompressed normal map. Should fit most PCs. At this time, I have no intention of uploading a faster/lighter version or a 2K+ version of this mod. However, I will consider doing so based on feedback.

compatibility

• This mod is completely incompatible with any mod that changes any shrine grid

texture.

• This modis is not compatible with any big texture overhaul/optimization mods that can change clutter files (such as SMIM, Ruins Clutter Improved, etc.). However, this mod will work if you place this mod underneath them (i.e. if this mod covers them). To be safe, place this mod below any large

Texture overhaul mods are there.

Install

Install using Mod Organizer 2 or Mod Manager (or Vortex when released). Do not install directly into the Data folder.

Load order

Placing this mod below any other texture mode may make changes to clutter files (i.e. shrines) under unusual circumstances.

troubleshooting

If you have any issues with my shrine textures, please put this mod at the bottom of your load order.

Update

The wrong file was initially made available for download. The correct file has been uploaded and is available to download. The file that was made available for download was my Whiterun mod but named Ryan's Shrines. I'm still scratching my head here as to how this happened.

This mod brings the shrines of Skyrim and their artwork out of the darkness and into the light. The artwork of vanilla shrines, like the shrines themselves, are largely lost to darkness and to low-resolution. This mod

increases the resolution of shrines from 512 to 1K, restores the original artwork, and lights each shrine.

Details

Painstakingly hand-edited diffuse maps, custom-made normal maps, and customized meshes. Increase in resolution from 512 to 1024K.

Performance

Crafted for performance: all maps, except the normal maps which are uncompressed, are 1K and heavily compressed. Should be suitable for most PCs. Currently, I have no intention of uploading either a faster/lighter version of this mod or a 2K+ version. However, I will consider doing so based upon feedback.

Compatibility

• This mod is completely incompatible with any mod that makes changes to any of the shrine meshes or

textures.

• This modis incompatible with any of the large texture overhaul/optimization mods out there that make changes to clutter files (e.g. SMIM, Ruins Clutter Improved, etc…). However, this mod will work if you place this mod below them (i.e. if this mod overwrites them). To be on the safe side, put this mod below any of the large

texture overhaul mods that are out there.
