Rextexture labels all of Skyrim's blacksmith logos based on real HD photos. Also resolved an issue with vanilla textures that were not optimized to fit the 3D logo model.

introduce

This mod recreates the low resolution vanilla 1k blacksmith logo with handcrafted 2k resolution textures based on real photos. The material style echoes the vanilla art, but instead of the old rusty orange pixels, the new texture has more of a frosted wood/iron texture. Finally, the new HD textures have been optimized to fit the model, which is not the case with the vanilla textures (see the "Images" section).

• Now includes mip mapping (to reduce vram usage and reduce artifacts)

•Now includes an enlarged normal map file (for better quality)

•DXT5 compression (much smaller file sizes, no quality loss)

•Texture changes from dark metallic to color-friendly brown (like vanilla texture)

feature

• HD 2k textures based on real photos of brushed metal alloys.

•HD textures give signage’s 3D models a smoother and deeper impression.

•Unlike vanilla textures, HD textures have been optimized to fit the 3D model of your signage.

•Resistant to weathering and general wear and tear on paint and metalwork for added realism.

• Affects all blacksmith tokens in Skyrim (the blacksmiths I saw in testing were in Markarth, Whiterun, Windhelm, Solitude, Riften, Riverwood, Dawnstar, and Falkreath).

•Texture only, no .esp.

Install

Use NMM, or if installing manually, just drop the "textures" folder into Skyrim's "Data" folder. Plug and play!

Current Version: 1.0

If you like any mod and have a spare moment, why not hit that  button? It helps more than you might think!

Introduction

This mod retextures the low res vanilla 1k blacksmith signs with hand made 2k resolution textures, which are based on real life photographs. The material style is in tune with the vanilla art, but instead of the old rusty orange pixels, the new texture is more of a smart brushed wood/iron texture. Lastly, the new HD texture has been optimized to fit the model, which was not the case with the vanilla texture (check the Images section).

• Now includes mip maps (for less vram use and less artifacts)
• Now includes an upscaled normal map file (for better quality)
• DXT5 compression (a lot smaller file size with no quality loss)
• Texture changed from dark metal color to lore-friendly brownish color (like vanilla texture)

Features

• HD 2k textures based on real life photographs of brushed metal alloy.
• HD texture gives a much smoother and deeper impression of the sign's 3D model.
• HD texture has been optimized to fit the sign's 3D model, unlike the vanilla texture.
• Weathering and general wear and tear on the paintwork and metalwork, for added realism.
• Affects all blacksmith signs in Skyrim (the blacksmiths I have seen in testing are in Markarth, Whiterun, Windhelm, Solitude, Riften, Riverwood, Dawnstar and Falkreath).
• Texture only, no.esp.
