LE Hi Rez Keepers of Hattu Armor (Helgen Reborn)

[kevkiev]

I love the colour scheme of the Keepers of Hattu armor (steel plate variant) that you get at the end of Helgen Reborn, but I'm so used to the incredible armor textures of Amidian Born and the like that the difference in texture quality really stands out and I never keep it equipped for long. Obviously, you'd need permission from Mike Hancho, but I'm guessing he wouldn't mind. Given the incredible popularity of his mod, and the popularity of hi rez armour textures I'm a bit surprised it hasn't been done. (Then again, I know squat about re texturing so it could easily be way more difficult than I'm imagining.)

 

Edit: okay, so searching the HR threads and looking closely at the armor, I think (at least the cuirass (sp?) is 2048x2048. (Haven't unpacked the BSA to actually inspect the textures.) So maybe it's not necessarily just a case of larger textures and maybe I've just been spoiled by Amidian Born. But comparing, especially, the boots and gauntlets to the Amidian Born steel plate ones, there's quite a huge difference in the detailing, for example the "depth" of the knuckle studs for the gauntlets and the straps on the back of the boots. Perhaps it would (i.e. it probably would) take a real texture wizard to redo the Keepers armor but, hey, dare to dream right? I wish I were such a wizard, the Keepers stuff is soooo cool - would be absolutely awesome to see that armor redone ala' something even close to Amidian Born style.
