Since no textures can be supplied without permission from their creators without being considered theft, this file will simply copy textures from those texture packs according to a scripted list. For you.īesides all the hard work behind testing and selecting all of the textures for maximum quality and realism already completed for you, what it will do now is to copy every chosen texture from each texture pack and merge them into a new customized texture collection. Luckily enough, that is exactly what the Texture Pack Combiner will do. The downside to this is that it'd require a lot of time and work. If you'd do it properly, you'd even go as far as to try out each and every texture in different combinations to see which is most appealing. The only way to work around this would be to manually look up which texture is used on which surface, what its name is and then find a better replacement. Some textures might look great individually, but when put together would create a totality that just looked unfitting or outright terrible. Neither were there any control over different texture combinations. In addition to this, there would be no control over the fact that better textures could get overwritten by worse ones. Any subsequent texture installations would risk overwriting anything installed prior to it. Previously, if you wanted to install more than one texture pack, you would basically install them in a particular order in order to have a main texture pack installed last. Just remember to endorse their great work!

You will have to download the three texture packs yourself, but once you've done that, that's when the Texture Pack Combiner gets into work. I had nothing to do with the making of any textures, as they are the work of NebuLa, Z4G4 and Starac. The Texture Pack Combiner is not a texture pack in itself. Basically, this file right here lets you do in 10 minutes what I did in 100 hours. Even when I slept I dreamt about textures.
The other result was personal brain damage in the sense that I could not go outside for several days without seeing textures and transitions on the ground (yes, IRL).
The bottom line is that this is the result of a rather gruesome, time consuming process that has required over 2500 screenshots, 700 saved games and 100 hours of work. Every single texture has been hand picked after extensive testing with different texture combinations, and each texture has been measured against certain key points. In doing so, what you'll end up with is the best of three worlds! It's not just some cheap copy+paste merge. The Texture Pack Combiner will merge the three popular texture packs:

This is clearly of the most underrated and undeservingly unknown mods I've ever seen, honestly.6) SO HOW EXACTLY WERE TEXTURES SELECTED? It does not have parallax however (and the author said he won't add it), which is a good or a bad thing depending on your personal opinion. Quality wise it's very good, obviously done with great resource material (this is none of that "2K/ 4K texture-which-looks-blurry-when-viewed-at-100%-zoom" stuff). I notice very little blurry items when running around, and I play in first person so it usually shows pretty quickly.Īs for the look of the textures this is of course better experienced by yourself than described, but generally they seem to be some rather simple designs, fairly lore-friendly (but not HQ replicas of vanilla textures). Most of the stuff is 1K - as the name implies - but the author has included a few select 2K sized diffuse maps where he deemed it necessary. The 1k version is little more than a third of the size of the 2K version, and it is from what I saw very well balanced between performance and quality. This is a massive texture pack (for reference, currently it has more files than Skyrim HD 2K) which covers among other things, most cities, farmhouses, caves, imperial forts, a lot of clutter items and dungeon material.
