Darknut's Better Dwemer Ruin Towers 

6-06-2018

VERSION 1.1

Finally got around to updating these.
I have learned a lot since I made these & still learning more all the time :)

Fixed a few issues & optimized these a bit. They are still pretty high poly but I never noticed a slow down.

This mod replaces the 3 Dwemer Towers with 3 made from scratch meshes.

ex_dwrv_ruin_tower00.nif
ex_dwrv_ruin10.nif
ex_dwrv_ruin20.nif

I know there are Replacement Dwemer meshes out there already & the one Champion of Hircine did is very good ... but somehow the totally round towers just look wrong to my eyes.

I personally have always liked the Octagonal main parts of the ruin towers & think it was a design choice by the devs not just a resource saving device ...  they could have certainly made them "rounder" even in 2002.
 

I didn't strictly adhere to the original concept though they don't stray that much.

I made some parts smoother & round & some not

ex_dwrv_ruin10.nif

There is 1 optional texture That fits with my Dwemer Texture mod  (the mod def looks better with it IMHO )

Texture goes in Data Files/Textures


These meshes can be used in other mods but give me credit.
