Insane Armory

This would not be possible without NifSkope and 3ds Max Nif Plugin.



Bows



Thickness has been changed by ~25 or ~50 percent depending on the options selected during installation.
All strings thickness reduced by ~50 percent.

I play Skyrim using first-person view 90 percent of time.
In Skyrim is impossible effectively shooting and hitting target other than view from first person in my opinion.
And just for view from first-person I created this meshes.


Axes Hammers Maces



Thickness of all blades has been reduced and the majority of hand grips has been changed to be "less vanilla".

Improved Blood Stains.
Blood stains are now not only on a small part of the the blade like in Vanilla.
But all over the edge and on part of the haft/handle but not on the part which is held in the hands.




Shields



Thickness reduced by ~25 or ~50 percent depending on the options selected during installation.
Fixed some meshes errors.
Fixed UV errors.
Removed some polygons that are not visible.



Install

Installer is compatible with Wrye Bash and Nexus Mod Manager.
It can be installed uninstalled reinstalled at any time without any complications.
Wrye Bash and Nexus Mod Manager after uninstalling restores previously replaced files.

At the same time I tried to keep as much as possible fidelity to the original game design.

Does not contain any plugin (*.esp *.esm) replaces only meshes (*.nif) files.

Is compatible with any modification which edits Bows, Axes, Hammers, Maces or Shields and replaces textures.
(if textures are consistent with vanilla UV)
But does not change meshes.

Each weapon or shield you can choose or skip during installation.
The choice is yours...


Update
Uninstall previous version and install current version, that's it.

Uninstall
Really, why, no matter, uninstall and that's it.

Recommended complementary modifications

As the LeanWolf and masterofshadow did a really good job therefore I do not edited Swords Mshes.
Better Shaped Weapons - BSW by LeanWolf and masterofshadow
(This modification inspired me to create Insane Armory thank you LeanWolf)
