1. DESCRIPTION

This is a modders resource that contains 207 paintings with various
canvases and frames different in shape, size, design and colour.
Themes of these are quite diverse:
Ayleid Ruins, Camps, Daedric Shrines, Forts, Landscapes, Mountains,
Settlements, Stones, Towns, Wayshrines, People and Miscellaneus ones.
All of these paintings were made from my screenshots which were taken
from the game. This way they don't look odd compared to the game's lore
and fit in it perfectly.

If you want to see what it's all about, check the 'preview' folder
that contains images with all paintings and frames from this resource.


------------------------------------------

2. INSTALLATION

Copy Data folder and its subfolders into Oblivion's main directory.


USAGE

I created a little plugin that shows all paintings in test location.
If you want to look at those in game, mark paintingsgalore.esp in Oblivion's
Launcher, start the game and load any save then in the console type:
coc trfpaintingtest
press enter and enjoy ;-]

NOTE:
Most of the painings in test location are rescaled (shrinked)
from the original size. Some of them are really huge
(Towns are the most enourmous ones and quite detailed at that size).
If you want to, you may scale some of them even further without worries about
loosing their details. Anyway you may always lower the size of the textures
if you don't care about that much details and want to save some resources
in your mod like disk space, memory usage and loading times.


REMOVE ALL CONTENT OF THIS RESOURCE

Delete following files and folders:
Oblivion\Data\Meshes\trfpaintings\*.*
Oblivion\Data\Textures\trfpaintings\*.*
Oblivion\Data\paintingsgalore.esp


------------------------------------------

3. KNOWN ISSUES / COMPATIBILITY

I don't think there are any :]
All files have unique names and are stored in unique named directories
so there should be no conflicts with other mods.

Last words:
You may use all of these textures from this resource
in your Oblivion's projects freely.
If you want and need to, feel free to mix these canvases/frames
with any frames/paintings you have.
It will be nice if you give me some credits when you decide to put
some of these in your mod but informing me about that isn't necessary ;]
First and last of all, have some fun!


Thanks & Enjoy!
Keep smile and such :]
