Hey everyone! Here's the latest retexture in this series which covers the nightingale set and weapons. I also added a capeless version of the set after getting requests for it.
If you used Frankly HD's version of this set and want to switch to my version, I recommend uninstalling Frankly's HD version, instead of simply overwriting it. That mod makes some changes to the meshes (mainly the cubemaps) but my textures were made with the vanilla cubemaps in mind. But it won't break your game if you load both, the main issue will be the scabbard and fingers not matching my textures. Outside of that my retexture is compatible with all mods that work with the vanilla nightingale armors, such as bodyslides.
Next up on the list is dawnguard! And after that one, we'll finally get to what a lot of people have been requesting / waiting for: dwemer!
If you want to see what I intend to cover and in what order (just a rough outline, it's always subject to change), I posted my To-do list on my Patreon. The list is public so no need to become a Patron to see it.
Thank you all and I hope you'll keep following me along this journey to retexture every armor sets and weapons!
The black is too much that it ate all the details, it's even pitch black with certain weather and lightning. Maybe an alt version with reduced blackness is ideal for all lighting setting, hope you can consider it. I also have minor problem with the glove, somehow the fingers have different color than my body texture, does this mod have its own texture for fingers?
I'm considering doing a brighter/less dark optional version. My version looks exactly as I want it to in my game but it does looks too dark in people who either don't use ENB or use a darker setup
The fingers looking weird is a vanilla bug with the gloves mesh, which I didn't modify
Dude, kudos given. GOAT of all nightingale armor retextures. And, the best thing is that if you load this after other ng replacer mods, it overrides them. ;D What true stealth armor should be, black as night! Ty!
By far my favorite Nightingale retextures on the Nexus. I've gone through so many and none of them ever hit that sweet spot of staying true to the vanilla design while actually looking like "forged midnight" without unnecessary embellishments.
I do think a slightly less dark alternative would be a nice option to have, but nevertheless, absolutely beautiful work! All of your retextures are incredible!
I use an armor replacer mod. Somewhere in between 3ba replacer. The mod page recommended the Elven armor retexture for it, which I downloaded. I started to look at all the other retextures from you and I wanted to download all of them because I think they are all very well done. will the retextures from your other mods mess with the armor replacements from #Ba somewhere in between? or does the armor replacer just change the "shapes" while your texture mods change the overall detail of it?
Your last sentence is correct. Just make sure not to select any of my mesh replacer options like my pants or sleeves addon. my glass retexture overwrites the meshes, but the fomod has a patch for somewhere in between

I see, can't be helped then since it's a vanilla bug, or maybe you can do workaround by adding optional full glove mesh, jk :D.
Anyway great job on all your retextures, appreciate it.
