rootsrat Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 https://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/33718/ Freshly released. I have really crappy monitor at work, but I'm keen on checking how it compares to Intricate Spider Webs that STEP currently suggests. Any thoughts?What is needed from Mod Testers:New comparison shotsComparison of:Webs v0.1 vs Webs v0.2Winner of above compare vs Intricate Spider Webs (ISW)If Webs wins overall, a comparison of the egg sack textures from Webs vs ISWBoth versions completely overwrite ISW with the new optional egg sack textures, so this will be a complete replacement as long as Webs wins in all compares.Denied for STEP v2.2.5ISW provides more believable webs overall.--Thanks to rootsrat, Neovalen and hylskrik for supplying the screens and analysis.
TechAngel85 Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 They look good, but from the images they also look very dense which only a few spiders in the world create webs that dense (Funnel Web Spider is one).

I think Earth-realism criteria should not apply in the case of Skyrim spiders. They are completly differemt species :) On a more serious note - matter of preference I guess. I'll need to come back to this mod when I get back home and look it up on my own display.
mothergoose729 Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 I think the density of the webs is fine. The strands are still about an inch or so apart, the reason they look so different is because the vanilla strands are about 12 inches apart. Visually they thicker webs look more interesting and believable, and from a realism standpoint, I don't believe the web in vanilla could hold a person bound, but I could pretty easily believe the new webs could.
TechAngel85 Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 The real comparison for this mod will be between Intricate Spider Webs (which is in STEP now) and this one. Screenshots will be needed.... however, I'm working on other things so I'll leave that to Rootsrat as he's the original poster. :P
rootsrat Posted March 22, 2013 Author Posted March 22, 2013 Ok, here we go. Vanilla DLC >> ISW >> Webs            Â
rootsrat Posted March 22, 2013 Author Posted March 22, 2013 And more: Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â EDIT Damn it, I can see something went wrong and not all the screens are correct - Some screens that should represent Webs mod are identical to Vanilla for some reason... Not sure how this has happened, it's late and I can barely see is my only excuse... I may recreate the comparison tomorrow, if I find some time. Sorry about that. Saying all that, after seeing it all in game, I vote for Webs - to me it's much better than ISW - I'm switching now.
rootsrat Posted March 22, 2013 Author Posted March 22, 2013 Apologies for the triple post. I've just noticed that ISW contains more textures than Webs, so maybe we could keep ISW and install Webs after it, so that ISW overwrites vanilla and then Webs overwrite ISW, while keeping other ISW to Vanilla changes. I'll do another comparison tomorrow.
TechAngel85 Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 Seeing your compares, Webs is very nice indeed. It would be best if this is added to keep ISW until he adds the other textures...if he does.
rootsrat Posted March 23, 2013 Author Posted March 23, 2013 OK, more comparisons, done properly this time (sponsored by a good nights sleep!) 1 - ISW only, 2 - ISW + Webs. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â To me, ISW + Webs is a winner. I like new spider eggs textures from ISW, but I'm also keen on new, more subtle textures for actual web offered by Webs.Â
TeleToko Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 If doing a comparison on spiderwebs you might also want to include Hectrol Spiderwebs DeLuxe, which is the one Texture Pack Combiner is using.
Farlo Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 I'm liking the combination as well, it's always bugged me how big and visible the Vanilla strands were... then again I've never seen a man sized spider, so who knows what it "should" look like.
TechAngel85 Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Bump! I think this one should be in the lineup for the next release. Author claims to have retextured all the webs now.
z929669 Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 DISCLAIMER: I have not tested this mod or read through this thread thoroughly! Again, what are the pros/cons of this mod and why is it important for STEP? Please update the OP with this info and any "testing" data.
