Something new from CaBaL.  I've never seen him do scenery before.

The stones are much more rectangular than vanilla and more brownish as compared to vanilla's gray.

According to the comments he is planning to do much more landscape and town textures in addition to his already amazing armors... Blades soon!

I actually wish he'd do some of the creatures like he did for FNV, those were awesome. The centaur textures were just disgusting, made me want to kill them even more.

That guy is just on fire! Cant wait to see what he comes up with!

Bow down to the OVERLORD!

CaBal is probably one of the few authors that could pick up and continue SRO in it's original artistic style, thus expanding it to all the DLCs. In fact, he could probably make a very similar product to SRO that covers the original game and the DLCs in a vanilla-friendly style. Combine a product like that with Vurt's flora overhaul and Skyrim would become one gorgeous landscape!

wow, now when Vilja says "Someone did a really good job, paving all these roads here in Skyrim." it'll be true!

I hope he starts with the Dragonborn DLC it sort of needs it.

[CaBaL]

thanks :)

this has been my first experiment on landscape ever...and honestly something i did in the launch breaks from work in last 3-4 days on a sort of amiga 1000 pc ...lol

....i guess there's an enormous space for improvements.

the idea is to remake landscape and towns...including dlc files, we'll see how things go...equipments in the book take 90% of my time and resources.

lanscape are very easy works (lots of photo sources) so i guess small but frequent releases for the moment, and a cumulative package for the book when there will be material enough.... i think to support parallax... at least to give the option... not immediately btw.

One of the best things I like about your work, CaBal, is that you stay true or very close to vanilla in your retextures. This is also why STEP loves your work, not to mention it is very well done and of high quality. :)

well ...to stick on bethesda ideas is a 2 side coin...a creative limit sadly(i often would make things very different),,,on the other side helps to keep things consistent with the whole game without forcing balance.

i try always to use bethesda method and "style" ,is something that i can use or not use in future (i mean there are MANY better styles and methods) but in the meantime i learn this as part of "artist" package... best things come always from crossover and beth method can be part of the "recipe" for future things.

point is always the same... more you learn more arrows for your bow.

i'm extremelly gratefull to step project (sadly i have not enough time to follow discussions as i wish) , must say that noone ever offered such massive ,well done and well planned guide on any aspect of the game.

so indipendently from choices in matter of textures... i thank you for the precious work

I'd like to make a request for some Dragonborn DLC textures they're in a scarce supply in case no one has noticed.

All in due time. These textures will become more common when the DLC goes on sale and more authors obtain it. I have all the DLCs and have personally only played a small part of Dawnguard. The others I haven't even touched yet. That tells you how little the Admin actually get to play and enjoy Skyrim because most of our time is spent on STEP. The same goes for many mod authors. They spend so much of their time modding that very little time is spent in-game actually playing. Dragonborn stuff will come in it due time, but it may still be a while yet until we see Dragonborn related material become common.

[EssArrBee]

There is already some stuff out there that is for landscape and interiors. Telvanni Reborn for one and there is also a nice pack of the robes from DB, I forget their name, but Rafuel is the author.

These types of mods should have MS threads so they can be considered for STEP. As for right now, there are very little mods the affect Dragonborn in STEP and that needs to change.
