Sorry for the late reply. Thought I had bookmarked the video and mod
page when I first saw it but I can't find either one for the life of me.
Looking around I see there are shiploads of Morrowind graphic mods

It seems it only works with the Steam version of the game which sucks
because I still have the original retail copy. Their web page is here:

Let me know what you think if you decide to give it a spin.
