Twelve unique texture replacements for the Seal of Akatosh emblem on the main menu. All-in-one installation (loose) files compatible with both AE and SE, packaged into a single FOMOD installer. Texture-only version available for compatibility with mesh replacers.

Description:

I started playing around with some different retextures for the main menu logo, and several hours later....

Twelve versions in total, all with custom normal maps for each texture. SE and AE versions are combined because by default the game loads the SE version first, followed by the AE mesh. The diffuse maps don't overlap exactly but at least the transition is a little less jarring if it is visible when you first start your game.

The diffuse texture layout is different for each "flavour". Creating matching copies for each isn't worth the time, in my opinion, since only one ultimately loads. I've included comparisons of each so you know which one you'll get, depending on your game version.

N.B. The standard version includes edited meshes to set the specular colour to either a warm or cold preset. Without this adjustment, AE loads a warmer colour that doesn't look quite right on the colder (ice, stone, steel) retextures.


Compatibility:

Full version only works as intended if nothing else overwrites logo.nif, logo01ae.nif, logo01_n.dds, logo01ae_d.dds, logo02_d.dds, or logo02_n.dds (for reasons explained above).

There is a texture-only option in the FOMOD installer that can be installed after any mods that edit the mesh files, such as: Main Menu Spinning Skyrim Emblem

As of version 1.1, the following options are compatible with the "Anniversary Edition Gold", and "Gaudy Gold" versions of Main Menu Spinning Skyrim Emblem:

1. Bark
2. Bronze
3. Moss
4. Wood


Permissions: Open, with credit. These are based on the Bethesda textures but I put quite a bit of time editing each one and creating new normal maps. Feel free to include in your own mods as long as you credit me.


How to install:

Download using your preferred mod manager and follow the FOMOD instructions.
