About this mod

Description


This is a mod that uses Skyrim Remastered Glaciers and Ice textures as a base and uplifts them similar to what Vanilla Ice for ENB does. 

So think of this mod as a different artistic branch that focuses more on fantasy realism. I've had a vision for a while (very similar to this) to create a type of ice that would look bumpy yet fairly natural and pleasing to look at. At first, this was simply impossible but over time with various combinations and techniques it became a reality. 

This mod includes textures for:
Glaciers, icicles, Solstheim(dlc2), Forgotten Vale(dlc1), FrozenMarsh

This is by far the most COMPLETE ice mod that covers all textures in a coherent manner.

Requirements

This mod requires IMR 2.3+ to work.
(You don't need ENB Addon for this mod)
I recommend using consistency version with this.

However, please let this mod overwrite IMR!!

I have included an optional choice to use the meshes from Vanilla Ice for ENB. 
It is highly recommended to use these meshes for the image I'm going for.
(Check the images to see if you might like it or test it out on your game)

More on the meshes:

I created these meshes that replace over 30 meshes with my custom ones that focus on reducing and eliminating as many seams as possible. While in a lot/most cases it looks great. For mods like this, it really helps a lot having less seams as it allows for parallax to work seamlessly and continuously.

Additionally the meshes that are included address many inconsistencies and perfect the final look of these textures. While it works without these meshes, I don't advise to use them without it.


This mod requires ENB v0.494+
(Complex Parallax) in order to use parallax bumps.

(I have not tested this mod with CM + CPM but users do report this and other mods as working with them)

This mod requires DynDoLOD
In order to reach the full potential of this mod, you'll need the LOD meshes provided by IMR to generate the LOD for these textures. 
Important: Let TexGen overwrite this mod !
