Cave wall glowing texture

[Ecstatica]

I have installed a mod called Skyrim Underground, comes in a bsa+esp.

 

Since I am new to actually playing through the game, I wondered whether this texture / effect found on the cave walls is present in the vanilla game.

 

I assume it is some sort of bioluminescence.

 

If it is a vanilla effect is there an improved version?

None of the STEP mods I have installed seem to change it whatever the load order.

Thanks to your help and also the mod author, I narrowed it down.

It is a texture found in a few Falmer caves.

There is even mention of it on the STEP forums:

https://forum.step-project.com/topic/4045-falmer-glow-retexture-by-aiyen/?hl=%2Bshimmermist&do=findComment&comment=64457

and a mod that reduces the glow on Nexus:

I would have thought something in all the STEP texture mods might have covered this - I wonder which ones are likely to have?

Maybe it's just too obscure.

In any case, now I know, I can try altering the texture /glow to my taste.

Thanks for your help!

No, that is not in the vanilla game from what I've seen. Though I haven't been in every single interior. The only place that as some illumination is Blackreach.

 

That looks like some texture corruption to me, however it's also in the author's screenshots on the mod page.

Really?

Because the image looks completely normal. 

There are more caves than just blackreach that use those models, most habit falmer.

You could try using higher res or less compressed textures. I think the normal map affect that but I do not know.

Well, we all know most of us haven't seen vanilla in a long, long time. :: The cave walls with Falmer inhabiting them in STEP do not look like that, for sure. I'm been in plenty of those. To be honest, I've never seen that texture in vanilla unless it's the Bkackreach wall texture and then it's so dark in there that you don't see any of that coloration...just the glow is visible.

No problem. That mod must have been one that slipped through the radar.
