is an overhaul of the birthstones, as the name says:)
It adds high quality textures combined with UV improved, parallax enhanced meshes.

This mod conflicts with my 'dungeons & ruins' and my 'All in One' mod, simply overwrite them (this ones content is improved).

ENB is not obligatory, though it amplifies parallax and enhances it with ambient occlusion.

about PARALLAX

In simple words, parallax is a advancement of normalmapping...
though the depth-information doesn't get simply "drawn" on the surface, it rather warps
the texture itself in the desired direction.
You can imagine the parallax-texture as kind of radar map like the NASA ones from Venus.
The depth effect can get triangulated out of it.
It is not as sophisticated as high end Tessellation and a much older technique, but still nice :)

Images are always welcome:)
