Version 3.0 Now featuring a Ultra High Definition Version of the armor
New in this version is a increase of texture resolution from 512x512 ~> 2048x2048 with the main armor originally 1024x1024 increased to 4096x4096.
Male/Female Included
Saturated/DeSaturated Available
Version 2.0 will remain as "optional downloads" for those wanting the color/scale scheme change without cramping your video cards VRAM. Although keep in mind, they do not have any additional enhancements.
As always, Love the critique and comments, and of course endorsements drive me to further improve as i continue to learn more about what i'm doing.
Thank you!

My other List of Projects that will likely grow:
Ultra High Definition Enhanced Vanilla Dragons
Old Boring Stuff from before
After being rather unimpressed with the orginal DragonScale armor set... just way to bland... and rather missing a lot in terms of wantin something that looked like some dragon you can kill in the game. I first came here to look at what our options are.... and unfortunately wasn't quite impressed with the rather simplistic recoloring and some of the other things people did to "enhance" the excisting sets...
While i didn't spend a WHOLE lot of time, but a sufficient amount to say, most of it just trying to isolate the specific portions of the armor to reskin, without changing the OTHER parts of it.. like hte metal and fabric parts...... to stay somewhat true to the orginal.... it was just a matter of taking the dragon skin (from dragonboss) for refference for this specific one... to overlay it..
Now without actually replacing the alphas and other lighting properties to match, i mearly overlayed it ontop of the excisting texture so that things still matched up and didn't look completely wrong in game..
The color is enhanced so that it doesn't look pail and washed out either....
Final product... just version 2.0..... i may make changes later....
Go easy on me... first time doing something like this.. took me awhile to first out how to unpack the orginals and start editing.
I decided to fix up the readme so it was a little more presentable

+~~~~~======---------------VERSION 3.0---------------======~~~~~+
+Made an Ultra High Definition with More Defining Detail
+Enhanced Color without overdriving the Saturation... (argueable)
+Now using 4x resolution therefore considerably larger size
+~~~~~======---------------VERSION 2.0---------------======~~~~~+
+Fixed the lack of a Male version of the armor
+Fixed the lack of a Shield
+Fixed a symmetry issue on the female armor set
+Fixed/Rebuilt the Helmet
+~~~~~======---------------VERSION 1.0---------------======~~~~~+
+Initial Test Build for color saturation and texture appearance
+~~~~~======--------------Future Changes-------------======~~~~~+
+Provide an up to date high resolution normal map
+Start work on incorporating swamp/ice/blood/standard versions
+As always, improve somehow/someway... it's never perfect enough!
+~~~~~======---------------Installation--------------======~~~~~+
Just extract the TEXTURE file to your:
Steam/Steamapps/Common/Skyrim/DATA
WARNING: Will overwrite any existing Dragonscale Mod
NOTE: For best appearance, make certain to delete any other Files
within the Dragonscales folder including normal maps and such...
Otherwise i cannot guarantee screenshot referrence appearance.
+~~~~~======--------------Uninstallation-------------======~~~~~+
As easy as browsing to the installed location:
Textures/Armor/Dragonscale
Then delete the files that were extracted during installation
+~~~~~======-----------------Credits-----------------======~~~~~+
Myself, Judas, I did close to 16 hours worth of carefully
isolating the specific parts of the textures.
The little bit of extra detailing time i took will make it
easier for me to apply additional skins of different dragons
in the future. After I do a few last tweaks on this version.
Looking to create better Normal Maps for the textures to enhance
the Ultra High Definition Detailing...
Thanks for downloading, hope you enjoy it.
