Symmetrised ERF diffuse map resource
While working on the BnP patch for 3BA Vaginaless, I finally got fed up with the asymmetrical shadowing built-in to the ERF diffuse texture. The left side has always been darker than the right, requiring diffuse texture blends to be hand-edited to ensure both sides look nice. I felt like not doing that anymore, especially given just how many diffuse maps BnP has so I decided to symmetrise the texture. Unfortunately, unlike most other skyrim textures, the ERF texture maps are at an angle at a weird offset which means basic symmetry painting or flipping tricks didn't work so I had to resort to rotating the texture to stand on its corner, eyeballing the correct angle, duplicating the texture, flipping it and then mixing in some details from the right side back in so it didn't look too weird, then rotating it back to the original position. Some detail was lost in all the rotating transformations but it beats manually touching up every single texture from now on.
Left side shadows be gone! Hallelujah
