No longer are storm atronachs just a floating pile of rocks -- now they are a floating pile of GLOWING rocks >:D

Author notes
I don't want this uploaded to steam workshop or otherwise blocked behind a money wall. If you want to use this for something else, shoot me a message :) I will handle the direct port of this to Xbox.
I grant permission to Snipey360 to use the Sun Atronach resource files to make a summonable sun/solar atronach
File credits
I made this by hand by editing the vanilla mesh and heavily modifying/referencing the vanilla texture.

Version 1.0
Initial Upload
Adds a glowmap to storm atronachs, so now it looks like they are charged with energy! Also, their surface is less plastic-like.
Storm atronachs are the strongest vanilla summon, so they should have the looks to match. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Choices, choices... Glow intensity options for Blue color: Dim, Medium, Strongest Glow intensity options for Violet color: Dim, Medium

Specific Changes: I made a 2k glowmap that matches the grooves in storm atronachs, and edited the mesh to use this glowmap. I also modified the mesh's specular values so the surface doesn't reflect light like plastic anymore
Compatibility: This replaces the storm atronach mesh and glowmap texture. Anything that replaces those files will obviously conflict (none that I am aware of).
This is technically compatible with all storm atronach retextures, but some combinations may not look good. Certain diffuse textures can cause the glow to be splotchy/ produce ugly colors. If you find a combination that looks good, feel free to post an image here and share! Otherwise, I personally recommend vanilla (or vanilla-like) textures.
