This mod may be from 2014 but I just tried it on SSE and the pics really don't do it justice. This is definitely the best blackreach crystal texture on nexus. I love the clear see through parallax effect on it!
I was glad when searching, there was a mod for the crystal rocks in blackreach.
I also recently played through Dawnguard DLC, and noticed the main quest has you go through a cave system that uses these assets a lot. Really enjoyed exploring those caves without having to see the default textures.
P.S. I'm playing on Skyrim SE and converted the meshes with SSE Nif Optimizer without issue.
the only conflict with my heavily overhauled skyrim was with static mesh improvement mod which i overwrote which i assume was corect? Any more alternative mods planned?
Ah yes I should note that! The base model was with SMIM´s meshes for the corrected UV maps. So they are fine to overwrite. Saw no need to reinvent the wheel when it was already done... I do need to get that mentioned though! Thanks!
As for other alternative mods then sure.. as I get them done. Currently working on icicles. I do have some glaciers (the crystal textures are part of that.) But sadly those look just absolutely horrible under vanilla.. hence why I never released them. But perhaps I will return to them eventually. I do mainly make stuff that looks good with my ENB... and only really want to release it in general if it also looks at least decent without it!
I have been using the watery icicle from the real ice and snow mod look forward to seeing the results of you're attempts as i coc'd into azuras domain and must say loved it lol Gonna pop into blackreach for a look soon as well
But still not really satisfied with it... Might have to redo the UV maps etc for them to get the look I want. But will see... I try to limit myself from not going too much OCD on any particular thing atm.
