Skyrim High Quality Eyes mod by Xenius.
Description: This mod replaces all the eyes in the game with high quality versions. The original textures of 128 x 128 pixels are replaced with high resolution 2048 x 2048 pixel versions.
Full Description: This mod will replace all eye textures, of all races, of both genders (except the "Demon Eye" which is completely black).
The difference is huge, I tried them all in game, no problems detected, they all look amazing, believe me.
I have created the iris details in photoshop, using lots of altered and distorted pictures of flowers,
many layers were blended together to get the final result. Hours and hours of work went into it.
I have used the original eye textures as base, so they all have pretty much the same color, though a bit
more intense and of course much more detailed.
The original textures were only 128x128 pixels, Mine are 2048x2048 pixels, I know this is a very high resolution
for eye textures. But the problem is that the iris part of the texture is very small, on the 2048 texture
the iris has only a diagonal of about 700 pixels, even had to scale down the source. I run the game on Ultra settings and with these eyes I did not notice any performance issues.
Textures have been scaled down to 1024 to improve performance, the difference in quality
will be negligible.
