About this mod
Changes vanilla glass armor to all use the same cubemaps. Applies missing environmental mask to glass bits on male armor. Practical Female Armor fixes included. Result: More consistent look with retextures like Xavbio's!

You may not know this, but the vanilla helmets and male torso of glass armor? They use different cubemaps from the rest of the armor. And part of the male armor is missing an environmental mask, making that part of the armor look weird in retextures like Xavbio's.
I have applied the same cubemap to the vanilla helmets and male torso that the rest of the pieces use. I also made sure the male torso settings matched the female torso, and I applied the missing environmental mask to the male torso. It's not going to be identical because the meshes are made differently, but it's at least consistent.
I also fixed the UV on the inventory model to match the Glass Armor Male Mesh Fix and added the double-sided flag to the glass bits to prevent angles where you might be able to see the back of the texture.
REQUIRES:
If you use this with Xavbio's retextures, you need to install Xavbio's Cathedral patch. His vanilla textures try to compensate for this mesh problem in the texture itself. The Cathedral textures just use the same colors as the female armor textures and the boots and gloves. That patch does not do anything else.
OTHER COMPATIBILITY:
This is compatible with the Unofficial Patch, the Unofficial Modder's Patch, and Glass Armor Male Mesh Fix. I used their meshes as a base for my changes. You do not need either patch, their changes to these particular meshes are just included.
Practical Female Armors had the same problems as the vanilla male armor. I have added a patch to solve this. It also fixes the same flaw in this armor as Glass Armor Male Mesh Fix, plus it smooths a pair of weird little bumps under the ribcage that always bothered me. And I fixed the inventory model and added the double-sided flag to the glass bits on it as well too.
If you use Cathedral Armory, you want my Cathedral Armory Misc Patches instead. There is a Cathedral version there.
If you use a different retexture, I can't know if the modder tried to compensate for this in their texture or not. Perhaps they use a mesh tweak like this one even. Try it out and see.
