Project Parallax Remastered

by Osmodius

{DESCRIPTION}

SMIM - Static Mesh Improvement Mod is required or you may have problems with using this mod!

V1.2 Update, Added some more SMIM meshes that I missed, thanks to Brumbek for sending them to me.
V1.1 Update, SMIM and USKP compatibility added. Added SRO and Texture Pack Combiner versions.

This is a remastery and expansion of my Project Parallax mod series. All the parallax maps from the old mods have been deleted and completely handpainted for maximum effect and precision. Furthermore, I have included Riften, Farms/Villages and Winterhold. This mod only covers exteriors except for a few interior textures in Whiterun. 99% of the other interior textures have no parallax code written for them and therefore will not work. This mod covers Whiterun, Solitude, Windhelm, Winterhold, Farms/Villages, Markarth, Roads/Bridges, and Riften. YOU MUST HAVE ENB .116 OR LATER OR THE PARALLAX EFFECT WILL NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY! This remastery has taken me roughly 60 hours over a span of 2 weeks to produce and I am proud of the results.

There are two versions right now, one for Vanilla textures and one for Skyrim HD 2K. I will make compatability patches for other texture packs that are 100% LORE FRIENDLY.

Parallax Mapping is an effect applied to textures in the game to give the illusion of full 3D depth, the best way to see this effect is to examine it first hand in game, but I will provide screenshots(hopefully animated) and a couple video demonstrations.


ENB .116 OR LATER IS REQUIRED!!! However, I will include an ENB preset that has nothing but the ENB fix turned on, it will not affect the colors or the lighting in the game at all. For those of you that already have an ENB preset, make sure that you have "Fix Parallax Bugs = true" in your ENB settings.

There shouldn't be a noticeable performance loss, I play on a 4 year old 2.6Ghz dual-core processor and notice no fps hit from the parallax maps(this effect is cpu depndant).

If you don't have ENB, you can download it here  -  http://enbdev.com/download_mod_tesskyrim.htm

I highly recommend the Skyrim HD2K texture pack, as it looks much better than most vanilla textures. You can download it here  -  http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/607/?


{INSTALLATION}

You should be able to install this with Nexus Mod Manager, if you choose to do it manually, just drag the meshes and textures folders into your Skyrim/data folder and click "Yes to all" when and if prompted to do so.

{COMPATIBILITY}

This mod is NOT compatible with any textures other than Vanilla and Skyrim HD2K, unless those textures have parallax maps included with them. 

Any mod that replaces the meshes this mod uses, will overrite the parallaxed meshes and remove the parallax effect. I suggest installing this over SMIM as it won't have any huge changes.
