In this video, I'll be doing a short walkthrough on optimizing the Vanilla textures following the guide on the STEP Wiki as well as other mods like Skyrim HD 2k Textures. For more advanced users, I will be making a video demonstrating how to optimize more complex mods like Automatic Variant texture packs, which require some reorganization prior to optimization. | In this video, I'll be doing a short walkthrough on optimizing the Vanilla textures following the guide on the STEP Wiki as well as other mods like Skyrim HD 2k Textures.

DDSOpt is a tool for resizing (i.e., 2k to 1k resolution) and compressing textures. It can also "fix" mip-maps. DDSOpt's optimization routines verify optimal texture compression and mip-mapping and corrects issues where possible (i.e., removes redundancies and re-mips). DDSOpt properly handles roughly 95% of Skyrim's textures based on file names, but it does sometimes get things wrong, and all known exceptions are accounted for (via a blacklist ~[[User:z929669|z929669]] [[File:Ixian_Insignia.png| | DDSOpt is a tool for resizing (i.e., 2k to 1k resolution) and compressing textures.

Some of you may be wondering what "mips" are and I'll be making another video on common terms and texture properties that might be seen or useful to most Skyrim modders and will desrcibe mips to the best of my ability. | Some of you may be wondering what "mips" are and I'll be making another video on common terms and texture properties that might be seen or useful to most Skyrim modders and will desrcibe mips to the best of my ability. |
