The Cathedral Concept
Cathedral Snow


Cathedral Snow comes in multiple versions. Version 1 and 2 are reworks of Sparkling Snow (Proof of Concept) by T4gtr34um3r. Version 3 is a rework and hybridization of Real Snow HD by Luxor. Version 4 is a rework and hybridization of snow from YALO by SteveoWasHere. Version 4 also includes glacier textures from YALO and a few ice textures from Glorious Glaciers. I've repainted, blended, and selectively altered mip-map layers to
reduce tiling while keeping the nearby snow busy and undulated to help
hide some inherent issues with Skyrim lighting and shadowing of
landscapes. I've chosen a brightness about half way between vanilla
Skyrim snow and most other snow mods, so it shouldn't be too bright or
too dark, and it should approximately match whatever tree LODs you are
using. The mod comes with a plugin to improve "dynamic" snow shaders on
material objects.

CATHEDRAL MODDING


There are two primary philosophies when it comes to modding, Parlor and Cathedral, originally coined by the former modder, Wrye.

In the Parlor view, we consider mods as privately owned works of art displayed in a
modder's parlor. We invite others to come appreciate our work. We
directly receive compliments and endorsements, encouraging us to produce
further work. 

In the Cathedral Concept, we consider modding a joint effort. We share our work with each other
to foster further mod development, to keep the community alive, and to
contribute in the construction of mods of monumental
scale. Individually, our contributions may be small and not worth doing
for themselves, but by each person contributing something, we construct
something larger and more worthwhile than any of us could do on our
own.
