Just found this on Nexus. It may be worth to do a comparison to the current STEP circlets texture mod by Yuril... Any thoughts?

MT Notes

• Screen compares

Elegant Circlets 2k

• MT Notes:
• To Do Notes:​

• This mod adds new models as well, so both textures and the models need to be evaluated against STEP's current mod.
• There are 1k and 2k versions, STEP should look at 1k.
• Screens by rootsrat here.

Can we move this one to testing? I checked it in game and they are much better than Better Circlets STEP currently uses IMHO.

 

I'm in the process of testing my new build, I will be able to provide some compares soon.

IF they look as good as on those shots... Then wow, installing right now

Someone needs to ceck the 1k version to see how they look. The models are a definite improvement but the textures are extended territory since they are stylized a bit.

[Aiyen]

The style of the texture is really nice. I do not think they deviate from vanilla style at all... since the vanilla style is essentially just a smeared mess that leaves quite a bit of interpretation options.

 

Also a general note about the meshes. One should always remember that using increased meshes comes with potential performance issues... since the more vertex points in a scene the more complex it is to compute! And for head gear like this it just seems a bit overkill for all purposes other then fancy screenshots! That said then they do have the ability to sharpen up the model quite a bit if ever used!

[Redferne]

I don't like the grain effect on the texture. Otherwise the meshes are nice but it might be a little overkill for a such small object. The meshes are just modders resources...

I'm still going to test it in game in case it look differently.

Those meshes are only optional modders' resource. You can't even install them.

[Aiyen]

Since they are a modders resource, then they can be turned into a usable mod! And the point was just to remind people of the issues that come from having more complex meshes!

 

Like people still get amazed that it is SMIM that breaks their performance in certain location when you have certain meshes installed.

 

But there added a few corrections so it seems more like a general statement rather then something specific to this mod!

[EssArrBee]

You could probably install them if the folders are correct. Modders resources usually are and the meshes would be a good replacement.

So you say skyrim understands obj and mtl files? wow

I.. I don't think it does. Would need to be converted into NIF for Skyrim to actually use it.

[Octopuss]

Could someone who have already gave it some testing post some screenshots please? Looking at Nexus, I don't like the insane brightness or shall I say gamma on them. I hope it's just a result of author's graphical settings.

I will be making some compares early next week.

[rootsrat]

OK, 61 screenshot compares (2 per circlet - on character and in-inventory + and a list with the order they are presented) uploading now. Might take a while, as I'm still on copper (fiber optic connection in about 2 weeks or so, YEAH!)

Make em jpg and use an image hosting service.... cant take long then unless you are on dial up :P
