So passing textures through few basic filters makes them HD? But even if we would accept this "definition", who will ever see any difference in game? It's exactly the same texture, just over-sharped and more saturated. Not revamped either. All this does is wasting of video memory. If that's what you're looking for, just grab Bethesda "HD" pack. It's made in a very same manner.
Very good addition to my mod collection. I was just looking for an upgrade for the settlement`s food plants, when I found this mod. It made a visuble difference with my new garden, it includes a few more plants to feed the settlers, and the most important from all - it made all of those plants to look better. Special thanks for the corn texture. Endorsed.
I agree that your use of "HD" is a bit misleading since the textures have only had some filters applied in an attempt to improve them visually, but that isn't to say that doing what you did is a BAD thing. Also, there is absolutely no folder structure, and you've enabled NMM downloads, which means people will download with NMM, but the files will not be placed in the correct folders, meaning the mod won't work, and you'll have folks complaining about that.
PS: I looked through your textures, and some changes look very subtle, but all of them, at least as far as I can tell by visually comparing the actual textures to vanilla, look like improvements. Some in-game shots may help others decide if this is for them.
That said, I noticed that the only diffuse texture you didn't edit was "WildTatoVine01_d.DDS" and wondered if you planned to do something with that one, too.
BTW, for anyone wanting to install these manually, they need to go here - Data\Textures\Landscape\Plants
im not sure how this passed me up blindly but I am currently uploading a NMM friendly version right now. I will look into that texture as I am also unsure how I didn't see it hahah. Thank you
TY buddy. I appreciate this type of mod along with hires texture mods (if there is an improvement and it doesn't effect performance that's what I'd consider a win/win) Keep doing your thing.
Thanks for making this, it's exactly the type of retexture I'm looking for: doesn't change the vanilla look but enhances it without performance loss. Good work.
alright to clarify the definition of high definition. It doesn't necessarily mean higher resolution but simply means a high degree of detail on the screen. This mod simply is contrast, smart sharpening and specific blurring to create a sharper, more vibrant and detailed landscape. Yes, it isnt a huge difference, but it is enough difference. Considering performance stays the same and you are getting better looking, more defined plants and herbs id say it is worth it.
Why the rudeness? He/She were clearly explaining what exactly was done with this mod and also remarked on rectifying any "misinterpretation" from the HD description.

I don't see much difference, to be honest, just some contrast and sharpening? Am I missing something?
I only use actual "HD" texture mods, not just filtered or upscales. So this isn't for me but, carry on.
