Here is the POST section..... I think everyone knows what to do by now.
Have fun.
UPDATE 2.0: This version adds the lightpost textures from the Solitude architecture folder. The rope texture is included. This swoodbeam01 texture also covers the facing of the Solitude buildings, as seen in the screenshots.
UPDATE: I just added a 4K-2K version of the 1.2 knotless textures, for people who want the extra detail of a 4K diffuse texture, but don't want the performance hit of a dual layer uncompressed 2K normal map. It still looks quite detailed in game, and has decent depth to it.
Update 1.2: Due to the constant bitching about the knots, there is a knotless version available. I hope this is the last I hear about this.
Update 1/25/16: Version 1.1 eliminates one of the two knots, so there's less knot repeats in the game.
will there ever be a smim version? i adore your rustic mods but ive stayed away from this one because im unsure if its compatible with the mesh (dont reply i just saw that it was compatible)
The F.A.Q in the description made me smile, thanks, Gamwich I needed that. And thank you for making these textures and sharing them with the rest of us :-)
Hi Gamwich, Been looking through the nexus, and haven't been able to find a retexture of the nordic style large roof support posts/pillars that appear in many inns (e.g. Bannered Mare) and the hearthfire homes. SMIM may be doing something, but these posts really stand out as looking almost painted when most other wood looks very good. This one set would be a huge improvement to most interiors I would think.
The specific meshes seem to be: WRIntFreeWallColumn01.nif WRIntFreeWallColumn2ndFlr01.nif BYOHWRhubPosts01.nif BYOHWRhubPosts2ndF01.nif
Would you consider adding retextures for these posts to this mod? This mod is excellent and the closest I could find but doesn't do the carved nordic style supports.
This works excellently in SE and covers a SURPRISING amount of objects in the game. I had no idea so much stuff shared these textures!! Really enhances the hell out of my game!
The pure 4K download is a little too sharp and doesn't blend very well with the rest of my world(Mostly Luxor's 4K-2K textures as a base). The 4K-2K version blends really well though. Your wood normal maps are as good as Luxor's! If Luxor's normal maps were a little sharper I'd definitely use the full 4K version.
Hi Gamwich, I really want to use this mod mainly for the lightpost especially since I use Lanterns of Skyrim and this mod uses the Solitude lanterns in places like riverwood/iverstead etc etc.
However SMIM has changed the texture path for the lightpost in solitude so this lightpost texture wont apply to the lightpost (woodbeam01).
what happened for your candle light? it's dont burn in day in your picture. that's damn immersive!! I konw one mod did that. but I dont want any other style lantern....My question is how did you fix that?
Hi Gamwich, any chance for darker version of lightpost textures? In my enb, your lightposts wood texture (i think it's swoodbeam i guess) are too whitey
This is amazing. The default woodpost was one of the ugliest, and most neglected textures in the game, even by other texture packs. For being everywhere in the game, you would think someone would have taken care of it.
I feel so strongly about this particular texture that I went all-in with the 4K version. NO REGRETS. I love log. I can now stand face-to-face with the wood post without feeling the need to get my eyes checked.
haha really though, you are incredibly talented and I hope you stick around for a long time to come.
Hey, it's just a simple wood texture, nothing fancy.
Those posts have always been problematic since the meshes are cylindrical, and the game doesn't handle texture wrapping on that kind of shape very well. Since the objects are so large, the combination of blurring and stretching can make for an ugly result. 4K might seem like overkill, but for that type of object it really isn't. They probably would've been better off using a smaller repeat, to avoid that much distortion.

Thank you an another texture mod for my skyrim
Do you know if your lightpost retexture works with Lantern of Skyrim ?
Thanks a lot
