Edit: Added 3 optional files using silver instead of copper. Please let me know if these work for you! I always get an error when I download them directly via NMM, but add mod from file seems to work without a problem...

VERSION 2.0

I've finally gotten around to updating the mod. I'm sorry it took me this long... But better late than never, right?
The new version is based on the HD texture pack, so, for one, you will get larger textures. I have taken your suggestions into account and agree that the green just wasn't vibrant enough. Like some of you, I also feel that I had not done the copper proper justice. It was too brown and didn't really look like what I was going for.

This update aims to improve on the look of version 1.0 apart from just offering an HD update and brings several changes with it, that, in my opinion, are for the better: 

- diffuse (color) maps of all armor and weapon textures have been tweaked
- specular (shininess) maps have been adjusted where necessary
- brighter, less muddy-looking copper with more shine (especially on the weapons)
- much shinier glass that reflects more light
- darker, less yellow green, much more saturated in-game
- added optional files that let you download weapons and armor separately

The copper now is much paler and more polished and I find it complements the green glass better by making it easier for the eye to focus on the glass. Looking back, the metal wasn't all that homogeneous in the earlier version, so I tried to make the weapons fit the armor better this time. The increased shine does look pretty extreme in the inventory renderer and the copper will be way less saturated than on your character. Still, I'm much happier with this more realistic metal; it's closer to what I originally intended.

As much as I liked the lime green, it often ended up rather yellow in-game. I could never really get the saturation I was after. The new color is noticeably darker, but that is somewhat counterbalanced by the shininess of the glass. All in all, I'd say it ends up looking much more "intense" than before, which is what some of you asked for.

Also, I could see somebody wanting to mod only their weapons or armor, but not both. So I've added two optional files for people to pick and choose what they want.

Are any of you interested in a version with silver instead of copper? This mod is inspired by Oblivion's look after all... I'd be happy to upload another batch of optional files.

Hope you guys like it!

VERSION 1.0

I was surprised not to find any mod that made the glass look like in Oblivion. I based this on Jessetin3's Much Brighter Glass Weapons and Armor, as his green was the closest to what I was looking for before I thought of doing this myself. My glass is even brighter than his, so if you like it a little darker, check it out.
This mod also gives the metal a more copper-ish touch; simply because it really appeals to me. I thought I'd upload this, because there seem to be no armor or weapon textures that go in this direction so far. I also made changes to the specular map of the helmet so it looks a little more shiny and fits the rest of the armor better.
Both male and female armor included.

Note: Depending on the amount of sunlight, the colors (especially the green) will look a lot paler than in the inventory.
This was not made with the HD textures. I will likely redo the textures and update this when I get the HD pack, though.

Install:
Copy the texture folder into "common\skyrim\data".

Uninstall:
Delete the "glass" folder under "common\skyrim\data\textures\weapons" and "common\skyrim\data\textures\armor".
