Changelogs
Version 1.00
Uploaded a 1k texture option, I apologize for not having this available from the start.
Uploaded textures for the chains on the cages that were missing from the original download.
It didn't seem like a lot of people had re-textured these so I tried to take a stab at it. This covers the metal prisoner cages and also the smaller cages you see right at the beginning of the game in Helgen. I also replaced the texture used for SMIM's imperial jails to add a little more detail. Some meshes are included in the download due to me adding environment mapping to the cages for a dull shine, which I think looks a little bit better.
