I never like to write negative comments on mod posts and this isn't necessarily negative but a critique. I love your painting series. I've downloaded almost all of them. I would like to do this one but from the screenshots, the paintings cover some of the drapes and it may be weirdly nit-picky of me but it just doesn't make sense that a painting could or would be able to be hung on top of drapes either stylistically or realistically. Just my thoughts. Overall, want to thank you for all the painting mods and the Markarth city mod. Great work.
Hello. Thank you so much. Yes, that makes sense. The drapes are from the Jks version only. The other versions do not have them. The paintings are wired to the wood beams behind them and on top, the reason for this is the player´s height, if they are placed well above its harder to build the painting image as a whole, same as viewing the drapes. I will revisit this, and perhaps its best to remove the drapes. Glad you enjoy the Markarth mod!
Thanks for quick reply. Another quick question unrelated to this mod but do you think you'll do TNF versions that are not Beds Plus? Or will the Beds Plus versions also with with the regular TNF?
Thye need separate versions, TNF and TNF plus. I made addons for 4 house mods, proudpsire has both tnf and bed plus, honeyside I think I did the same. For Hjerim I won´t be making a tnf version but a bed plus is available. Breezehome has a tnf version ? I´ll have to check if there is one. I won´t be making a addon for vlindrell, Markarth.
Hey Mharlek, absolutely adore this series. You and I have similar taste in paintings! But were you aware that none of the paintings have normal maps for the painting part? I’m working on adding the canvas normals from the HQ paintings resource to all your meshes, and they look much better. Would you want me to send you the meshes when I’m done, or I can post a page for them?
Hello aproco. I am glad you like them. I wasn´t made aware of the canvas normals, this is great. I have been suspecting this, but wasn´t exactly sure. I have been thinking of making a page with fixes for 3 textures for the frames that became invalid for reading. I always mess up making the bsas from time to time and I´ve been re-using them for the most part :( .. Now that I know the normal map is also missing, I know a page wouldn´t cut me some slack.
As much as I would like to avoid the nightmare of updating all of it, I think it´s unavoidable. Since its all the meshes that need that texture pathing. I´ll do it myself. I have 2 in 3 mods to release in hand with 20+ new paintings might as well start this before hanging them. Hope you understand.
Thank you for your interest in these mods, it is appreciated and thank you so much for letting me know about this, sincerely. Kudos.
LOL, I understand how you feel! I actually just finished updating all of them (the ones I'm using, anyway). Tedious for sure, but doable. Let me know if you change your mind and would like some help, otherwise good luck! And thank YOU for all the work you've put in. The selections you've made for each location are just perfect.
Thanks. I would distract myself with shortcuts to be honest, its nothing personal, so I´ll just do them in one go. That´s great to hear. Updates take precedence for tomorrow but keep an eye out after for Paintings for the College of Winterhold and another for Jorrvaskr. I am finishing different versions with Jorrvaskr, after that maybe one more location andhanks for using them!
