Of course! I want to retexture every creature. To be honest, I want to retexture everything, improve everything. I don't have a lot of time, so I don't know how much of it is possible, but I'll retexture everything I can.
hahaha this looks fine... so I'm gonna give you some ideas for creatures that have never been retextured in HD before:
***CREATURES: -Vale deer or "blackreachdeer" (Dawnguard DLC). -Frost Giant (Dawnguard DLC). -Shellbug (Dragonborn DLC (only the head isn't retextured yet because the rest is made of falmer clutter... lol)). -> this: textures\dlc01\effects\DLC1Shellbug_D.dds textures\dlc01\effects\DLC1Shellbug_n.dds textures\dlc01\effects\DLC1Shellbug_G.dds
-Felsaad Tern (Dragonborn DLC... the stupid bird...).
-Slaughter Fish (it has several retextures that have the same quality as vanilla SE... lame... XD).
note: for chaurus I was using the CaBaL120 retexture in "aMidianBorn Book of Silence"... and the chaurus flyer from Skyrim Ultra HD Texture Pack 1.6... but this looks well done... endorsed! :) UPDATE: the flyer in this mod absolutely destroys the one I was using hahah try it!! UPDATE 2: This same modder just retextured the mudcrab ash and the dead giant mudcrab!! (crab carapace) yay!!
Thank you as well @roviedolemelendez, while I'm glad for the many retextures of some creatures in the back of my mind it always bothered me no one thinks to retexture the more obscure stuff.
@shoyguer Thanks a thousand and I hope this hits top files.
Nothing related but talking about the flying ones I really hope someone could remodel them to look more like the ground ones aka more badass and less creepy. Would be cool if someone know a guy who can do this and has the time.
But back to this mod: I really like the retexture even I thought for a second it will be also 8k like the dragon one from a view days ago. Just imagine: 8k insects YIKES haha xD
btw is it possible to make a more darker/ black version of them? like in the concept arts you know that would be amazing! :3
But again I really appreciate your effort and look like all the others forward for more! :)
@Timthelegend yeah but he didn’t retexture the creature itself... only the Riekling clutter and architecture... (in Rally’s mod under “actors” folder you can find a few files but those simply retexture the spears)
@vomitot Holy crap, I downloaded that one long ago and it appears it was reuploaded short after XD I need the Riekling and spiders from that one... and that would be two less to go! Thanks for pointing it out \o/
note: I’ll edit the list I made because I should change that and include the slaughter fish that has some retextures but none superior to vanilla SE...
EDIT: I just checked... he even said that he forgot to add the spiders... until someone asked... sigh -_-
And the slaughter fish texture in this mod "https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/35719" (not tried) ? Edit: after verification, it's vanilla texture with some color changes :/
Hahaha Yeah, the other day I was analyzing several retextures for that fish with a magnifying glass XD And sadly none of them are better than Vanilla SE... (because in this case it seems Bethesda improved it a bit for SE and made those mods obsolete... maybe... I’m not so sure).
EDIT: and I just found the final creature that I can't find an HD retexture for XD... the mudcrab ash (someone replaced those with the regular vanilla mudcrabs + vandr retexture but they don't have a proper HD retexture)... I'm gonna add it to the list...
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT??!! Did you just retextured the "chaurusfrozen"??!! Bro... Brooooo... right now I have a 114 gigs Skyrim SE with pretty much nothing new... I specialize in replacing ugly vanilla... mostly... and I... I!!! DIDN'T - HAVE - THAT - TEXTURE!! FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.....
Now this is like the best chaurus retexture ever! and that Flyer definitely is DA BEST!! D: (I tested the flyer in-game now... I’m in love... hahaha)
(note: I'm also here to report that while I always install everything manually and I had no problem placing the textures correctly... the FOMOD (that I checked for fun) installs several textures in the wrong folders... like the normal maps... and others too because there is a folder named "actos" instead of "actors")...
Anyways... you are my hero... kudos to you and I'm gonna vote this... damn it... XD
Thank you for reporting And thanks for liking my retexture I'll fix that as soon as possible. There's any other folder or file with this problem of folder misplacing?
Hello there :D If I remember correctly it’s only about placing the content from “actos” folder inside “actors” and then moving the normal maps to the corresponding folders (it appears that they are placed next to the folder that they should be in)...
Bellyaches is meh... it’s nothing like a good 4k retexture or a retexture from a true texture artist like CaBaL... (or the 8K pack for dragons that’s not in the nexus XD)...

I'll add a darker version in a few minutes

Yes, there was like 6 or 7 misplaced textures, now I fixed that! Thanks a lot
New version is up to download.
(I just changed the paths)
Here you go: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/6839
Thank you
To be honest I don't like Bellyaches retextures.
Just my opinion.
But there seriously are too few creature retextures around nexus.
