I have just noticed that the new normal file provided by Bethesda for the male body isn't actually higher resolution.

The resolution of the vanilla normal file (for the body) is 2048x2048....
The resolution for the "higher resolution" normal file though - is still 2048x2048.

The odd thing is the file itself is about 8 times larger, despite being the exact same resolution and the exact same file internally. They are both DD3s, unless I have missed something (and I don't think I have). Incidentally, there are no new colour maps either... Bethesda have just provided (supposedly) upgraded normals for the bodies.




This is very odd. I will continue to investigate more of the textures to see if this occurs elsewhere.

The same applies to the female normals.... Hmmmmmmmm.

Bethesda - wtf?

There texture pack svcks.

No, they are ok.....

I was somewhat disappointed by the lack of 4096x4096 textures, but I am going to be grateful for any improvement they offer, despite some of them being underwhelming.


But this is a problem. Bethesda have, I hope by accident... provided files that AREN'T higher resolution at all and are instead just larger in file size.
