Your FRONTPAGE screenshot of the two-headed cow shows a ton of game textures that haven't even loaded into your machine properly. Many machines at default settings have this problem with Fallout 4.
If you think that screenshot represents how the default textures should look, I'm not certain you've ever seen the game in its correct state. When I first started playing, my 'caravan cows' only ever had low rez textures on them, and I (incorrectly) assumed this was how they were supposed to look. Months later and a .ini hack forced the game to always bring in the high-rez textures (and ironically massively improved performance).
Before people think about texture replacers, they MUST ensure their game is rendering with the best quality assets vanilla Fallout 4 offers (which is possible on any GPU with at least 1GB of VRAM- despite what Beth claims).
It would help quite a bit if you tell me this .ini hack :D I am aware that my game isn't displaying what they intended, and this is most likely the same for other people's games as well. These textures for animals and my old one for clothes was my solution. But what's your simpler solution, in more detail? What is this hack exactly?
Me too! I have always used these color saturations on my own screenshots. Just decided one day to apply the same to a bunch of textures :p (plus sharpness/contrast/light levels)
This looks really nice. Good job, and thanks for the hard work. I'm wondering if this, and your clothing/armor texture pack, are for DLC at all? Or is this just for the base game, and (if not) do you plan on doing these for the DLC at all? Also, real quick, if I install these textures, and then install...say...Raider Overhaul, are these going to enhance RO's textures? Or are they just going to drown each other out (actually a question for the other texture pack, but you don't have commenting enabled on that one)? Thanks again.
Okay I'm back from work! I just finished unpacking the .bsa2 archive for Raider Overhaul. It replaces the raider02_d.dds (I think that's the "Raider Leathers" outfit?) with a red version. and RaiderModUnderamor_d.dds becomes these cool plaid pants. I'm not ashamed to say, you're better off choosing "Yes to overwrite" if you download that after mine
I use weapon mods that other people are responsible for And I have to get around to fixing all those terrible walls everywhere (That's a HUGE folder of textures) But I might some day!
All I can say is WOW! You have an amazing skill at art detail. You must be a graphics artist. This will give the game a whole new feeling. Wish your mod was out before I played the game lol. I can see this having thousands of endorsements. Bestheda needs to compensate you and acquire your work for a rework of their game actors lol. Thank You.
Thank you for the compliment :D I don't think it's reaching that many people, but I like that it's here if others feel the way I did about the animals I just converted these so the game actually displays them the way they were intended. Bethesda's lack of contrast, sharpness and hue saturation made their textures translate flat
