About this mod

21 high quality cubemaps in 2048x1536 Replacer and Resource

Permissions and credits
I made some cubemaps as resources for my own projects and thought I would release them here as replacers and as a resource. 

CHANGES:

2.1 to 2.2 adds 5 more cubemaps covering elven and ebony mostly. 

2.2 to 2.3 adds chrome and makes changes to cavegreencube_e (after testing it more I felt it needed some tweaking)

2.5 adds copper, testsky, and shinycontrast



21 cubemaps in total. Feel free to use these as a resource too! I primarily made them to use with modded weapons and armor from other mods and to add a more consistent feel to interior water that was lacking in my game. The effect these have will vary greatly depending on your other textures and meshes. So have fun trying them out!




Side by side comparison of my oil cubemap vs vanilla. The idea behind these cubemaps is to make them more organic and flowing in an attempt to create a wider range of colors and more reflectivity. 




Let me know if anything is out of place, I explored my game for hours and nothing looked off on my end, but its hard to check every single item in the game. Don't be afraid to message here if there is an item in the game that looks really bad after downloading this. Because these cubemaps are made from scratch and made to be very different from vanilla there can be unintended effects. 

Pictures probably don't do these justice, but with my upload speed there is no way I'm trying to upload a video to showcase this, that would take me way to long.

COMPATABILITY:

This just changes 21 texture files, it is fine to try it mid game and test if you like it more than what you are using. Just overwrite everything with my textures.

I use this replacer for ores and ingots. I highly recommend trying it out too. https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/46668

KNOWN ISSUES: 

alchemy glass can look a bit off because it uses shinydull_e cubemap(same as steel weapons)... I recommend using Wizkid's replacer to fix that if you don't like it. https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/42874

(I am working on another fix for alchemy glass too but that may take some time.)

I am aware some of my cubemaps aren't seamless. This shouldn't be an issue unless you have OCD and are staring at them in photoshop. If you actually run into a problem in game where the seams are doing odd things I would like to know though so I can work on that specific cubemap.

Bethesda for Skyrim se
I made these from pictures I took. I used Gimp and paint.net to edit the pictures into cubemaps. Some are made entirely from scratch in GIMP.
