I honestly think that polycount is a non issue for modern graphic cards (afaik the limitation is with texture resolution/vram, shadows, physics now) Kahli St Dennis Posts: 3517 Joined: Tue 1:57 am There is a reason why those items are deliberately made low polygons and it is because of scaling and polycount usage, on a scene at the same time the game can render a max millions polygons, of course the game was based on consolles for the performance tests but increasing potatoes and every small unsignificant item will just 'steal' polycount from the most important items like characters weapons, architecture and creatures. Version 1.00 is now out, which updates 20 meshes.ĭo you realize that putting superHigh polycount on everysmall item is completely nonsense? It will crunch soon most of the computer performances no matter if you have a Nasa PC or crap. Please see the Skyrim Nexus page for more images and information. My mod looks much nicer in-game, in-action! Please also note: These pictures don't do the 3D models justice. Note: This is a high-polygon, high-resolution mod! Only modern computers should use this mod! This will take a long time, and I'll release incremental updates to include new 3D models as I finish them. The ultimate goal is to improve about 200 to 300 of the worst offenders. Hence, this mod edits many 3D models to improve their appearance and to fix many of the ugly seams and other oddities present in many of the default 3D models. I was hoping Skyrim would use much higher-fidelity environment meshes compared to Oblivion, but sadly many architecture, clutter, furniture, and landscape meshes. This is quite jarring next to the quality character and create models.

The first thing I noticed when playing Skyrim was how many static meshes were very blocky and frankly, ugly.

Now it does.I now present my first proper mod: a 3D model upgrade mod! Skyrim has a lot of texture replacers but very few mesh replacers.
