Dwemer Armors and Weapons Retexture SE - Early look

Hey everyone! Here's an early look at the dwemer retexture.

it will cover:

• Every single Dwemer weapon and armor from vanilla and CC (if it's made of dwemer metal or has dwemer/dwarven in its name and can be worn or wielded, it'll be included)
• LOTD
• Oblivion Artifacts Pack
• NordWarUA's dwemer armor
• Aetherium Armor and Weapons Compilation
• Tools of Kagrenac
• The forgotten city
• Elsopa's quivers redone
  

Maybe will cover:

• Eastern Dwemer armour SE
• Aetherial Crown SE

I read most comments on Patreon, Nexus, reddit and the few skyrim discords I am a part of and always try to take in all the feedback I get. The feedback I get the most is that my retextures are not shiny enough. For Dwemer, I am trying to get into the right direction by making all these sets extra shiny. It's also how I imagine the dwemer sets to start with.

I was also trying to think about how to make my retexture not clash with popular Dwemer environment/clutter retexture and have found that since most of them change the Bronze_e cubemap that is used by most dwemer items. Because of this and the fact that I am making these sets very reflective, the end result will drastically change depending on the cubemaps you have. For example, with the vanilla cubemap, the items will come out golden but with the Ancient Dwemer Metal one, they will look a lot more bronze (aka more orange than yellow). I think this is a perfect middle ground between making this mod impossible to do by making multiple versions of each item or not caring at all about consistency, which goes against the whole point of my retextures.

If you have any ideas or feedback, please feel free to let me know!

Thank you!

PS: Will be compatible with cathedral armory and Mods that add glowmaps to dwemer armors and weapons. Project AHO and Clockwork also add items that use vanilla texture paths, so they don't need custom retextures
