Why not use the overhaul 3 textures?

Hi all,

I just walked around in Skywind for the first time and i must say i'm thrilled! Keep up the awesome work!

I was wondering something though. Why can't you just use (most) of the Overhaul 3 textures? They are very nice and you don't have to develop new...

Maybe you are already doing this, in that case never mind. But then i have the question why not all textures (house rooftops, leaves on trees) are that high res? Are you guys still converting/inplementing them?
Just wondering

MGSO consists of dozens of different mods, getting permission for all of them is almost impossible. You can't use anything without permission.

Yeah simply because nobody on

Yeah simply because nobody on the project has had time yet to go through them yet. I've converted all the new models from the overhaul, but have yet to go through the textures to weed out what might be better to use.

I will say that on the whole though our current textures are better, but not to say that there won't be some gems in there :)

Because our current textures

Because our current textures are way better and have working normal maps? I think that's a no brainer. There are very few textures we haven't replaced with HD versions.

Ah, people i apologize. I

Ah, people i apologize. I noticed my settings for skyrim were only medium. I cranked them up to ultra and everything looks MUCH better now. The textures are very crisp now. First the textures got blurred out a lot when i got further away, but now that is way less. I do see the high quality textures much better now.

I don't have a lot of knowledge about textures. I'm always very impressed by the crisp textures of the overhaul pack. But i can see the textures used in Skywind are very high quality as well. I just thought maybe Overhaul could be used to avoid double work. I guess you experts know which textures can be improved upon, but i bet there are very nice textures in the overhaul pack you could use.

I know MSGO consists of a lot of different mods, but i'm just talking about using the textures here. Nothing else. Getting permission for that should be doable, right?

In my limited time of looking

In my limited time of looking at the textures I did spot some that I thought are good, but as I said its just a case of going through them and figuring out what can be gained. Getting permission however is going to be very hard, because there is no way to tell where the textures have come from.
