Decided to take a little break from rocks, roads, trees, and plants to breathe a little fresh air on the Talos statue. There are a few other options out there, so thank you for taking the time to consider these.

What work has been done to the textures?

  • The vanilla textures were up-scaled to 4k.
  • Compression artifacts were removed using Photoshop
  • Hand touch-ups done on areas that were jagged and/or pixelated after the upload
  • Textures were then further tweaked in Substance 3D Sampler to improve the metal texture, change the coloring of the patina/dirt, increase the normal map strength, and alter the specular texture to decrease the shininess of dirty areas while maintaining some shine in less dirty areas.

Mesh Recommendation
No meshes are included with this mod. However, I highly recommend the higher poly version of LeanWolf's Better-Shaped Talos Statue with Greatsword (you can even choose what kind of sword you want Talos to hold). All of the screenshots for this mod were taken with LeanWolf's improved mesh.

Installation
  • Download and install with your mod manager of choice
  • If you have any conflicts, make sure this mod wins or you wont see the changes it makes in-game.

Compatibility
  • Compatible with meshes that use the vanilla StatueTalos01.dds and StatueTalos01_n.dds textures
  • Not compatible with meshes that use a different texture path than vanilla
  • Not compatible with other mods that replace the Talos statue textures\

Credits
Talos statue textures were created using vanilla textures contained in the game. No textures from other sources that would require a license were  used to make the improved textures.

Permissions
Shared with completely wide-open permissions. This means you can port these to other versions of Skyrim (including consoles) or modify them for other mods as needed. All you need to do is credit me.
