roller12 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Are these new textures or are these old textures upped to higher resolution and added more details with.. MAGIC? Sorry i dont understand where does the additional information comes from. For example for the Skyrim HD - 2K Textures by NebuLa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimhsu Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Bad texture mods do what you say and upscale followed by sharpen. Good texture mods follow that with extensive editing of the textures, using filters, hand-painted elements, and such. Great texture mods simply discard the original texture and are completely redone from scratch using stock material and/or hand-painting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghogiel Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 yeah yeah, and great textures, technically have to be done to a high degree as well. a little while age I saw one texture mod that otherwise looked good, so I DLed it, and it would have been very good, but the normal maps however, which would have been half decent and passable, were made by overlaying several layers together...but in a bit of a noob way. washing out the B channel completely and the maps not being normalised. Which drops the quality of the mod several degrees for something so unbelievable easy to do correctly, it annoyed me a lot when I inspected it. And I think the blend maps might have been a bit fruity. All would be correctable by someone who know what they are doing in a very short time given the source psds. I wish these guys would actually ask in the forums for critique because in about 10mins their work could actually be upgraded and be usable by us mod snobs :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
