rootsrat Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/49693/? Fresh upload. Improves gemstone dragon claws. DUH! No brainer at all, and the claws look really good on screenshots. Need to confirm how well they look in game though. This mod: •Makes gemstone claw talons refractive, rather than aerogel-translucent. (Except for diamond) •Fixes the diamond claw by applying the claw body's normal map to the talons and panels, giving the diamond parts a greater degree of definition. I also fixed the diamond parts of the claw to use standard environment mapping, since they used eye environment mapping for some weird reason. •Made the very blotchy noise on the talons finer by scaling up their UVs (again, except for diamond.) PLEASE NOTE: This is a very simple mesh replacer, no scripts, whizzbangs, doodads or what have you. As such it's 100% COMPATIBLE with any mods that retexture dragon claws.

Neovalen Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Saw this and downloaded immediately. Will check em out soon. :) Screens look good. Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk
DoYouEvenModBro Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Looks good to me. Nothing else in S.T.E.P. touches these textures as far as I'm concerned.
Noobsayer Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Yeah, finally got some claws to do compares on and this seems like a marked improvement.
jakeslim Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Screenshots look great. Pretty sure I will add these to my modlist. Would have thought they'd be good for STEP too, with the only reservation being that they add an extra mod for so little change. Maybe integrated into another mod like HD Misc they'd be perfect...? All depends on view of STEP team on how streamlined next STEP will be I suppose.
DoubleYou Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 I assure you, the small size of this mod is not hindering it. Indeed, it would be far less likely to be included if it was included in some big texture overhaul.
EssArrBee Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 Screens for this mod. Man wtf is up with the vanilla claws? STEP->Improved ClawsEmeraldSapphireRubyGlass or Diamond (I forgot to keep track of which)Glass or Diamond (which the last one wasn't) This is a no brainer. The vanilla meshes are so bad I'm surprised that they aren't in USKP or SMIM yet. Thoughts?
Kuldebar Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 (edited) I've been using Gemling Queen Dragon Claws I'll have to do a compare because I'm pretty sure I used this prior to Gemlings. Yeah, I dropped this mod for Gemlings...the gem work I felt was much better in Gemling's mod: Edited May 30, 2014 by Kuldebar
redirishlord Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 I gotta go with Saerileth's Gemling Queen Claws. Pairs very nicely with her excellent jewelry. Have you seen her White Phial replacer?
EssArrBee Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 I'm testing those right now. I'll post them on that thread in a bit.
TechAngel85 Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 Need compare of all three together but I'm sure that I'll be going with Gemling.
TechAngel85 Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 Gemling Solid. Can't really tell the difference between the solid and transparent anyway.
DoubleYou Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 I'm liking Gemling Transparency. It is subtle though.
