Improved Vanilla Water
This mod removes the compression artefacts from the water textures.
The water has still the vanilla style but it appears more smooth and high quality.
The compression artefacts were smoothed out and the textures were saved as uncompressed dds files.
They are also perfectly seamless compared to vanilla.
The performance may be affected on slower computers due to the uncompressed textures.
Installation
Extract the content to your Skyrim SE Data folder or use the NMM.
v2.1
Reworked the puddle textures. The size of the puddles was reduced to 75% and transparency was added, so you can see the ground through them. I think the frozen puddles in Windhelm look much better now.
v2.0
Reworked all the textures by editing them another way. The difference to the previous version is not very noticeably, but the textures are a bit sharper now.
Additionally improved the puddles in Windhelm. The ugly compression artefacts were smoothed out and a slight grain effect was added to get more detail.
v1.2
Reworked the texture for the static water plane in the forge troughs. Made it less blurry compared to 1.1 and kept more details from the low-res vanilla texture.
v1.1
Improved the static water plane in the forge troughs. The water is supposed to look oily and dirty but the vanilla texture is very low-res and you can clearly see the pixels. The resolution of the texture was increased to 512x512 und smoothed out a bit and also saved as uncompressed dds file.
v1.0
First release.
