Radiant Vanilla Reborn Weapons

This mod retexture all 15+15 base game texture files to improve them on a state I judge more beautiful, with a real quality progression, with better contrasts, more various takes but also more realistic. Less white wood (Obviously !), New reflections / varnished tones, new fittings, less trashy iron/steel textures, less rust on mid-game grades, healthier and more various metals (bronze, copper, brass, darkened iron, steel, tamahagane, etc.). If you subscribed to my main weapon mod "Radiant Asamarume Weapons" you don't need to subscribe or activate this mod because it's already integrated in it (actually it's a part of the brand new version 2.0). Don't run both these mods together.

This mods works only as a texture replacement. If you don't know about my other weapon mod "Radiant Asamarume Weapons", please go take a look because it's way more complete than this one (and in my opinion way more awesome !). This mod only exists if you don't want the (missing?) additional weapon quality grades (Asamarume) lvl 45, 65, 85 and 95, or any other improvements or fixes I made, or because you have a mod that is uncompatible with Asamarume weapons textures.

Firstly affecting all vanilla weapons, those new textures will also work with most of modded weapons meshes that pick their texture data in the base game ones since I respected the mapping limits. (Including New weapons Disseminations Mod)

• Big rework of all base game weapon textures (Total of 15 textures files including each one's alpha map for special light reflections). The first poor grades might not feel extremely better than vanilla but the more you advance, the greater it strikes.
  
  
• Rework of the 15 Normal maps for better light and volumes.
  
  
• Color Tones of all materials were chosen to fit most of the vanilla armor / gear / assets. There is no violent saturated red handle, Pitch black sheath or supe-shiny golden fittings. Don't wanna mess with base game immersion. There is also NO METALNESS, because having a shiny metal there on weapons while the rest of the game's metal is all matte a big fault of taste to me, so don't bother asking me about that.

Guys, this rework took me around 3 month of work (easily 200+ hours). I painted, tested, worked, erased, reworked, retested, went mad, pissed, worked more, etc. for an eternity before reaching those final 15(base)+15(alpha)+15(normalmap)= 45 texture files. Everything was hand painted on Photoshop.

You can find all my mods by searching "Radiant" in steam workshop, nexus, or civfanatics, which is a recurrent word in all my mod's tittles.

Even if they represent hundreds of working hours, I'm sharing my mods for free like most of mod creators. But deep down I'm really hoping you to do that little extra thing that would help me a lot : joining any of my pages (patreon, facebook, instagram). Just that really! Don't feel obliged to give something, with Patreon there is indeed a free option that grants you basic news/content and it will only take few seconds of your time. That being said I'm an artist irl and I sometimes struggle to put my personal projects on the saddle. By giving a little something or joining my ranks you can trigger a course of actions/reactions that might end up gathering more people around, thus helping me building the motivation and means to create more stuff to appreciate.
