Side by sides of vanilla look good, I wonder how they compare with smim.

The texture is really nice, but something tells me SMIM is superior because of custom meshes.

Does the custom mesh change the mapping? If Brumbek left the mapping vanilla like he does on much of his work them mesh+this should work fine.

SMIM totally changed the mapping and even how the textures work. SMIM is better, of course.

"Of course"? Really? There are a number of smim items that are better overwritten with other mods, most especially textures, though some base meshes too, like some barrels for example. By how much people are raving over Smim's smelter it is likely better in this case, I haven't seen it in game and haven't went to the trouble of looking up screenshots but "Of course" is a little overboard.

I happened to take a picture of the SMIM smelter in-game. The most notable thing about it that is better is the stone base, whereas the skysight ultra hd smelter texture looks more like cement.

As for barrels, the modified vanilla barrels in SMIM are about as good as it gets.

The Smim one looks better because it has an updated mesh. The rock vs brick is subjective, and honestly I think I prefer brick look purely because for heating purposes brick is superior to rock. There is an option through SMC for barrels that removes the opening animation that Smim gives that I personally much prefer as that animation gets old real quick. I know many others like it, which is why there are a couple of other mods that do similar things to a large number of other things. My point was, just because its Smim doesn't mean its the absolute best thing ever. I like most of what Smim does, and use the majority of its options, but that doesn't mean it wins everything forever.
