--> playable modders resource of real-world paintings <--

This is a playable modders resource providing a few dozen (today: 55)
of ready-to-use real-world paintings, of quatratic (512x512px), tall
(256x512px), and wide (512x256px) shape. The paintings can be admired
in the redesignated "Temple of The One" -- it has good, variable,
light, and has much space left. And is never being visited -- by
anyone! Please keep in mind that I am not applying for a job as
curator -- collection and presentation are rather ... well, you name
it :^). I hope you can enjoy it nevertheless.

This mod does not replace anything. The "FineArts.esp" is only needed
when you want to see the paintings in the "Temple of The One". And
this the only location being altered.

First of all, if you need help making your own pictures, or reframing
existing ones, feel free to ask.

If you don't want to make all the EditorIDs by yourself, the
"FineArts.esp" provides a static object for each of them (see
"WorldObjects->Static->yorck"). For each object the texture, mesh, and
EditorID, share the same name (well, the CS strips off all
non-alphanumeric characters). The naming scheme is as follows:

y ... Prefix
1x1 | 2x1 | 1x2 ... Format
... the image's file name as downloaded from wikimedia

These three parts a separated by a "-" (again, not in the CS, of
course).

Example:
Image file name was: "602px-Albrecht_Dürer_088.jpg".
After being chopped to quadratic shape, it becomes the texture
"y-1x1-602px-Albrecht_Dürer_088.dds",
and gets the mesh "y-1x1-602px-Albrecht_Dürer_088.nif".
EditorID is "y1x1602pxAlbrechtDrer088" (CS also strips the umlaut).

I suggest, you open the texture directory "texture/yorck" with an
image viewer that can nicely do DDS thumbnails (like IrfanView)
alongside the CS.

Riley Marks' resource the well deserved endorsement :^).

All faithful reproductions of the paintings used here are in the
"Public Domain world-wide" (even in the U.K. ;^)), see

Yorck Project. Again, not all "faithful reproductions" in the Yorck
Project compilation are free to use everywhere on the globe; those I
use here, on the other hand, are. Can't be too cautious.
