Shadriss Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 I'm not sure it really in an issue with the parallax maps, afaik it might also be some of the meshes that use the textures.Oops. Forgot to read the last sentence before I quoted you... :)
Spock Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 It wasn't meant literally, please correct me if I'm wrong. I would also be very much interested in parallaxed STEP. Overall Vivid Landscapes enhance the texture quality by a lot, textures lacking 2k definition and parallax mapping really stand out. I didn't run into mismatches yet but I probably didn't look around far enough.

It was almost always at the bottom of the list for compares because it changes the landscape entirely too far away from vanilla.

Maybe a pack for high fidelity work that has more freedom to be vanilla unfriendly would be nice.

Shadriss Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 @Neo - Insert shameless plug... :) @Spock - I know you weren't being literal, but I like to do things like that from time to time... a little imp comes out and demands it. As for the parallax thing, I've tried it from time to time over the past few years, and I've honestly never really seen any difference. There must be, for so many to harp on it, so maybe I'm just looking for the wrong things.
Spock Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 You could always try SR:LE... :)I already draw inspiration from your list for my texture mod selection. There might be some things that could enhance it though. Pfusher's work for example, or High Definition LODs. I would assume there is no terrain parallax because there are no Solstheim landscape textures for it?As for the parallax thing, I've tried it from time to time over the past few years, and I've honestly never really seen any difference.

Try rocky walls and change the angle, the parallax map should give more illusion of depth. Aside from obvious uses like brick walls, this helps high definition textures (2k) because your eye won't notice the high fidelity texture sticking on a simple mesh as easily.
