REAL MOUNTAINS
==============

New textures for the mountains and rocks, more detailed , i tried to get a realistic feeling, without break the vanilla tone.

REAL MOUNTAINS REBUILT
====================

Rebuilt of the main version to improve quality on 4k, I´ve reworked the diffuse and the normal textures, these are different from the original version. There are some versions designed to work fine with Vanilla game without any Enb or reshade preset, just with the normal desaturated boring vanilla palette. This versions are Real mountains Rebuilt vanilla and Real Mountains Rebuilt brown vanilla, the classic version works fin with vanilla palette.



ALTERNATIVE WET ROCKS
======================


Now you can choose a different texture for the wet rocks, it brings more variety to the game.

VERSIONS
========


Real mountains              - default one
Real mountains eroded  - As the name say, the rocks are a little bit eroded
Real mountains bright    - Clearer texture

Version 1.1 - has an optimized diffuse (half the size of 1.0) and normal map.
Version 1.2  -fixes the issue with some textures that appear brighter than it should.
Rebuilt 1.2 - It contains a complete new diffuse map and improve normals to fit better at 4k

RESOLUTION
===========


Resolution 4k/2k. There is practically no difference with the 4k version, at least at 1080 resolution, in fact i think the final result is slightly better with 2k textures. 



In order to get the look of the pictures it is important the use of my reshade preset Post Tenebras Lux (Reshade preset), as it change the colour palette, equalize the tone, contrast and brightness of vanilla game.
