unfortunately you're right, in a hurry I have converted the DXT5, not the source. I will correct as soon as possible. whatever I have noticed an improvement, the textures appear less blurry
No rush. Of course, if you need any help let me know.
Other suggestions: 1. LOD textures for SSELODGen in textures\lod folder. It's just resized copy of the textures from landscape folder(only five): dirt02lod,fieldgrass01lod,pineforest02lod,rocks01lod,snow01lod(Should be in DXT1 or R8G8B8, 128x128, no alpha). That textures used on lod meshes and needed to match colors. 2. If BC7 works well then maybe you need to use it for other diffuse+alpha DXT5(i hope better quality at same VRAM usage).
3. bug: reachgrass01_n.dds - missing specular map 4. About Riften fall leaves request. meshes that use: textures\architecture\riften\RiftenLeaves01.dds share normal map with FallForestLeaves01.dds, so FallForestLeaves01.dds and RiftenLeaves01.dds should match(only with difference in alpha channel). List of meshes that use RiftenLeaves01.dds: meshes\architecture\riften\clutter\rtleaves01.nif meshes\architecture\riften\clutter\rtleaves02.nif meshes\architecture\riften\clutter\rtleavesflat01.nif meshes\architecture\riften\clutter\rtleavesflat02.nif 5. Hearthfire DLC clay deposit and stone quarry also use landscape\mountains textures, perhaps you can blend or remake them somehow. Folder: textures\_byoh\clutter\resources
Very impressive. Thank you for this. I'm really drawn to the depth of the normal maps. However, my roads don't look nearly as 3D as yours do in this video. Are you using any other mods?
unfortunately I do not remember the mods I used, the video is old. It may be I have used "realroad" but I'm not sure. for normal map, you try to use software Quixel
Thanks you providing this here. Have you considered Arthmoor's hints? http://afkmods.iguanadons.net/index.php?/topic/4633-skyrim-se-things-to-know-when-converting-standard-mods-to-sse/
the textures are in dds, tablets or DXT1 or DXT5 as appropriate, so they should be fine but I had already noticed it watching the original. for 1k resolution will have to wait. before I finish in 2k version. not all textures are covered

Can you also update Riften fall leaves to match your texture?

and use BC7 compression for normal maps to avoid block artifacts.
"block artifacts" I mean this:

Comparison, if someone is interested.
Vanilla\SHD SSE 1.0\SHD SSE 1.2
Another small problem with snow(snow01.dds here):
Vanilla
SHD SSE 1.2
Probably it is necessary to make snow texture darker and need to update snow01landscape.dds\snow02landscape.dds.

4. About Riften fall leaves request.
meshes that use:
textures\architecture\riften\RiftenLeaves01.dds
share normal map with FallForestLeaves01.dds, so FallForestLeaves01.dds and RiftenLeaves01.dds should match(only with difference in alpha channel).
List of meshes that use RiftenLeaves01.dds:
meshes\architecture\riften\clutter\rtleaves01.nif
meshes\architecture\riften\clutter\rtleaves02.nif
meshes\architecture\riften\clutter\rtleavesflat01.nif
meshes\architecture\riften\clutter\rtleavesflat02.nif
5. Hearthfire DLC clay deposit and stone quarry also use landscape\mountains textures, perhaps you can blend or remake them somehow. Folder: textures\_byoh\clutter\resources
can you provide some screenshots? thanks
thanks, i didn't notice this was "serious hd" re-released. perhaps using the old name instead of SHD would help people find easier?

So glad to see you make the jump to SE. This really is one of the nicest landscape packages available : )
How does this one differ from the Classic Skyrim version?
to respond to your thanks

Will you provide 1k version sooner or later too?
