Hey all,

Above is the mod link for my custom skyrim water retexture.
Basically I took a real photo, made it seamless at 2048x2048, then converted it to a normal map to replace the default water's 512x512 ugliness.

The result is a smoother, almost ridiculous amount of HD texture (probably overkill) to the water - making it look lovely in most situations.

A lot of trial and error went into this, since I could not find any decent guides on doing textures like this on the internet. (any direction to those links will be greatly appreciated!)

Anyways, please feel free to comment here or on the nexus site.

Some common problems are "Sheeting" when one water pattern goes one way, the other goes another creating a "sheeting" effect - looking into fixes.

Another is that the water seems to be going faster, when it is not. It appears to be faster because of the much higher resolution.

Great work just wish there were more ripples in some of the larger bodies of water. Unless I installed it wrong
