Version 0.51
Noticed you don't need permission to use Unofficial Legendary Patch files (rock on), so added their male torso mesh with bandana, as well as edits of their male torso mesh to resolve conflicts I was getting with the worn and ancient armor sets.
Version 0.5
Fixed some bugs with the male ancient shrouded armor replacer (male hood uses female hood texture, and male gauntlets do not use female gauntlet texture... oopsy :)
Added my vanilla female shrouded armor textures, and vanilla male textures with fixed gauntlet studs as the textures for worn shrouded armor.
Version 0.4
I brightened up all the armor textures and increased the specularity a bit... I either made these far too dark originally, or realvision used to be brighter, or I edited realvision to be darker... or all of the above :P.
Should look quite a bit nicer for vanilla users now, though like all of my mods this is really intended for an ENB :
Version 0.3
The hours of painting, testing, editing, etc really added up between 0.2 and 0.3, hopefully it shows :). I feel like I am a lot closer to what I want for the red version with this release.
- Edited / created new spec maps for every texture since I was finding it all a bit too shiny for my tastes, especially the studs.
- Painted over most of the bright spots on the red sections for the armor textures since they were a bit glow in the dark-ish.
- De-saturated all of the male studs since I figured it was probably a bug like the vanilla female ones were; the odd one or two were coloured on one side and not the other.
- Removed the crotch and bum studs on the male armor since they were a bit smelly and odd shaped (one of the crotch ones looked almost heart shaped in game.... lol)
- Fixed some seams up the back of the male torso, the belt being the most obvious.
- Made the female red more like the male... then fixed the male gloves and boots to also be more like the male :P
- tweaking and tweaking and tweaking :)
Version 0.2
With my edits to the vanilla texture finished I was able to make a nice dark red version which was my initial plan.. I got so used to the darker 0.1 release though I just had to make an all black one as well :)
Description : Two variants of the dark brotherhood armor / robe sets to hopefully make them more assassin worthy :). I did a lot of editing to the vanilla female version of this armor to make these, so even if you are not a fan of the dark you could grab a version with just those edits here.
AIO : Makes the Worn Shrouded Armor set use my reworked vanilla female texture fixes and the vanilla male texture (with de-saturated gauntlet studs), Shrouded Armor use the There Will Be Blood textures and Ancient Shrouded Armor uses the Ninja Assassin textures. There is an optional Ancient Ninja Armor file that can be used alongside v0.4 There Will Be Blood textures if you don't want the worn textures. Also I included the male torso mesh with bandana from the Unofficial Skyrim Legendary Patch in 0.51 to resolve the conflict it was giving me in my own game.
Optional Normal Map Fix : An updated version is included in versions 0.2 and above
Lossless Versions : These 24/32bit versions give a nicer depth to the textures and should be free from any artifacts, but are much more memory intensive so if you are already low on V-RAM then avoid :).
Screenshots : I always use the lossless versions of my textures alongside an edited RealVision Nova ENB with Enhanced Lights And FX. The face mask in some 0.4+ screenshots is my edit of Alurict's nightingale mask.
