About this mod
High-resolution Retexture of all Banners and Shields in a Nordic style, with Performance Options for Potato PCs. JDANCHOR NEEDS OUR HELP!
- Permissions and credits
I am releasing this mod to help bring attention to JDAnchor's urgent need for financial support. Yes, he will be receiving Donation Points from this mod, but he needs lots of money now to pay for this surgery, not small amounts 4 months from now. Please donate to the fundraiser if you can, and share the link with others! Together we can help JDAnchor enjoy many more years of life.
=========================================================================
This mod retextures every banner and hold shield in the game including ones from DLCs in a way to allow them to feel worn, desaturated, look better with ENBs and changes the designs to fit the theme of each hold and faction. Now each new holds sigils are proudly presented on both their banners and guard shields for consistency.
Texture files from the original mod were a mix of 2K and 1K. I have cleaned all files of compression artifacts, and then upscaled them all by 4x, to a maximum resolution of 4K in BC7 compression and generated full mipmaps. I cleaned and upscaled them using Cupscale/ESRGAN and then finalized with NVIDIA Texture Tools and Octagon.
Performance Option for Potato PCs
Mipmaps and BC7 compression reduce VRAM usage, especially when the files are cleaned of compression artifacts.
For Potato PCs, I've uploaded a downscaled version where the diffuse texture files are larger than normal and environment map files, which are less visible in game. This reduces VRAM usage considerably while maintaining higher visual quality, using the Octagon config files posted on this mod, which I recommend using if you have a Potato PC.

Skypocalypse is above all a place for COLLABORATION, a community hub for mutual aid to level up our skills and Skyrim itself.
This server is the host to Skypocalypse Academy, where modders and porters of all skill and experience levels assist each other as we dive ever deeper into transforming the bones of this magical game. Featuring an extensive library of tools and resources, The Academy is meant to be as educational as it is welcoming.
We know from experience that modding is an extremely addictive past-time and can be a slippery slope from creating a simple load order to porting mods to going full boat and attempting to rebuild Skyrim from the ground up. That's why we believe in a community that integrates Xbox and PC gamers along with porting noobs and experienced mod authors. We all have more to learn, and modding Skyrim to its extreme is a community effort to say the least.
Skypocalypse is meant to be a gaming community that supports collaborative efforts. The gaming and social channels here are intended to foster the social connections that help act as glue for our collaborative work.
