The sequel to "Smaller and Better-looking Qarl's LOD Normal Maps"

NEW 2048 TEXTURES AVAILABLE


for use with high-end machines only!
Check the screenshots


Description



After creating "SBLQLNM" I still wasn't really satisfied with my work
and after a long time I came up with a new idea to improve it.
I mixed up Qarls Normal Maps and Normal Maps generated with TES CS and saved them as 4.4.4.4 .dds
to "wipe out" DXT compression artifacts as this was my primary goal with these textures.

As this may be a bit too technical for the "normal" mods-user to understand,
I recommend checking the screenshots.

Now you might ask yourself why I have put up a new page instead of updating the old one.
The answer is simple:
I have included new texture options which will decrease performance on older systems.

The options so far are:
  • 512*512683kB per texture (Vanilla size;a bit more detailed than SBLQLN)
  • 1024*10242.66MB per texture (same size as Qarls 2048)
  • 2048*204810.9MB per texture (same size as Qarls 4096)



Installation



Either use BAIN, make an OMOD
or just drag and drop the included Textures folder into your [...]\Oblivion\Data\ folder.
