Paintings variation

This mod brings a larger variety among Cyrodiil's paintings. In vanilla Oblivion, several paintings used the same painting texture, so that you see the same image in several sizes. That got boring after a while, so I've made this.

Most paintings show landscapes and a few show homely scenes.
I've not changed the paintings for Shivering Isles. It's impossible to find suitable paintings for that place.
For the Shivering Isles I went with fantasy/mythological classic paintings.
See the images for a preview.
No nudity in any painting.



Installation

It's a pluginless replacer, so extract the file, copy the Meshes and Textures folders into your Data folder, choose Merge and Overwrite All if asked, and use Archive Invalidation in Oblivion Mod Manager.

If you want to use a mix of the paintings from versions 1.1 and 2.0, copy both the texture and the corresponding mesh. The meshes have changed in version 2.0, so using the version 1.1 mesh with the version 2.0 texture may make the texture appear stretched or compressed.



Version Changes

Version 2.0:
- changed the UV-mapping on the meshes, so that the painting textures would no longer be stretched or compressed on the meshes
- many new painting textures, that are higher quality or that are paintings I find more beautiful

Version 1.1:
The paintings should no longer appear very dark. I've added a blank, mini normal map to each painting.
Also, a few Anvil Castle paintings looked compressed. I've stretched the textures, so that should cancel each other out.
Don't forget to use Archive Invalidation in Oblivion Mod Manager after installing the update.



Permissions

No credit necessary.
