hitomo Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Hello people... I love fallout one and two... was absolutly sceptical about FO3, but finally I love this game as well for being a full-fleshed fallout game with some anoying but forgivable bits from oblivion in between ... my main concern about Fallout 3 are the texture resolution of the graphics... its hard to look at sometimes if you are used to thinks like Stalker or any other modern-day game-engine... so I started to double the srtandart resolution of all the textures of the game... this pretty much means to recreate all the textures ... of course you can use the orginial textures but to get a doubled amount of details into double-sized textures you need to add those destails yourself... so I started this with the megaton-textures, and its not much till now, but as soon as I have developed some routine for editing the texures it might be possible to overhaul the whole game in an resonable ampunt of time... thers still a lot of initial fixing and testing needed though... but the deeper thought behind that is of course to give FO3 a look that matches my own view of the fallout-realm more than the over-rotten, grey and grey world of FO3 ... but I really dont know if this is going somewhere or somehow... FO3 crashes a lot because of a memory-leak I have noticed, wich appears on higher screen-resolutions and quality settings... yeah, and raizing all the texture sizes will put some more stress on any system ... lets see if I will be able to make a second update on this... but for now, there are the small results I have till this point... :D yeah, and thanks for the toturial and the little-prog from your site wich helped me to extract the .bsa files and to get a starting point... its still just testing... !!! ... be sure to look at the full-size images if you are interested in this... http://www.mb-druckservice.de/stuff/pre-size001.jpg http://www.mb-druckservice.de/stuff/pre-size002.jpg http://www.mb-druckservice.de/stuff/pre-size003.jpg http://www.mb-druckservice.de/stuff/pre-size004.jpg http://www.mb-druckservice.de/stuff/pre-size005.jpg greetz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hitomo Posted November 16, 2008 Author Share Posted November 16, 2008 well... here is an update ... :thumbsup: http://www.mb-druckservice.de/stuff/pre-size007.jpg http://www.mb-druckservice.de/stuff/pre-size008.jpg http://www.mb-druckservice.de/stuff/pre-size009.jpg http://www.mb-druckservice.de/stuff/pre-size010.jpg I changed two textures, wich I recreated complete with normal map... I am just testing some elements and hoe the normal maps behave... I can use 4096x4096 texures now, with compresion the .DDS files are only 10mb now instead of 50 :rolleyes: some comparesion with the new resolutions http://www.mb-druckservice.de/stuff/pre-size006a.jpg http://www.mb-druckservice.de/stuff/pre-size006.jpg http://www.mb-druckservice.de/stuff/pre-size006b.jpg http://www.mb-druckservice.de/stuff/pre-size006c.jpg and no need to comment until I have some real progress :biggrin: greetz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
