Alternate Cubemaps

---

Sorry that there are no tits.

 

Decided to upload my cubemap textures here too as a resource and as a replacer. They are primarily meant to be a resource but I am uploading them as a replacer so people that don't mod themselves can get some use out of them too. There are 21 in total, and come in 2048, 1024, 512, and 128 sizes.

 

These are completely made from scratch from a combination of simple brush strokes and actual photographs I took that have been heavily edited. Because of this they can look very different than vanilla; Giving the game world a wider range of colors and more reflectivity. However because of the way cubemaps work this can actually make your game look worse depending on what mesh and texture replacers you use. Or, Alternatively it can make things look much, much better; also depending on what meshes and textures you use. So try them out! There is no downside from trying them, there is no plugin so you can try them and remove them in the middle of a playthrough. 

 

I Primarily use these with custom armor and weapons from other mods to change their color and reflectivity.

 

What resolution should you pick?

 

You probably don't need the highest resolution; But I see no difference in my games fps if I take the 2048 option compared to the 128 option. You may just want to experiment. If you run Skyrim on integrated graphics on a 10 year old laptop, you probably want the 128 option. If you plan on using these cubemaps with custom weapons or armor you may want to try all the options to see if higher resolution actually looks better. With many meshes and textures... different resolutions make no difference, so I suggest trying out the different resolutions and finding out what's bests for you.

 

 

Incompatibilities:

Other cubemap replacers: You won't crash or anything but you will not see my cubemaps if something overwrites them.

 

Some specific items in game may look very different, because either my cubemaps are very different than vanilla or because they display cubemaps very poorly.

 

Please post here If a specific item looks bad so I can either work on the cubemap itself or make a texture replacer for the item, or recommend a mesh/texture replacer. Or if anything in general is wrong with the cubemap.  

 

 

These are not compatible with LE because they are saved in bc7 compression. I don't Mind if someone converts these to LE but I will not help with that or offer support for any LE conversions. I don't play LE anymore, nor do I have it installed.

 

 

Permissions and credits:

 

You are free to use these in whatever project AS IS as long as it is only uploaded on nexus or lovers lab as lnog as you credit me. If you want to edit them in some way ask my permission first. I do not under any circumstance give permission to use these with a for-profit project or a paywalled project or any project to be posted outside of lovers lab or nexusmods. 

 

If you want to edit the cubemaps in some way just ask permissions first. I probably wont say no unless its for something fucking weird. You gotta try really hard to weird me out too.?

Yeah I'll get some In game pics up when I can. It isn't easy showing what these do with comparison pictures though because it can be hard to portray reflectivity and color range while moving from a still shot.

 

EDIT: alright added some comparison shots
