Remarkable Rocks
This mod improves the meshes and textures of 7 rocks that appear over 30,000 times in the Mojave.
Rocks are designed to fit within the original (collision meshes FNV) colliders, so they hopefully shouldn't cause any problems such as clipping or being out of place. Though the colliders may not match 100%, resulting in a few tiny spots on larger rocks where projectiles can pass through.
The rocks replaced are:
nvn_rockcanyon01 (11.2k verts)
nvn_rockcanyon04 (5.7k verts)
nvn_rockcanyon06 (2.1k verts)
nvn_rockcanyon12 (10.9k verts)
nvn_rockcanyon13 (4k verts)
nvn_rockcanyon14 (10.5k verts)
nvn_rockcanyon19 (14.8k verts)
Performance:
Every rock in the game used to share one tiling texture, now instead each rock has its own custom 4K albedo and normal map. (1/2 and 1/4 resolution versions available)
There is also a mesh only version in the file section. It should "work" with most rock texture replacements.
The vertex count on the rocks has gone up a lot as well. Definitely too much.
Personally, I don't notice a performance hit and have played for many hours with the new rocks but for people concerned about performance, these rocks are overkill for you.
Recommended:
Use with Higher Poly Rocks and let Remarkable Rocks win the conflicts.
Notes:
I originally just wanted to improve the small rocks that appeared frequently all over the wasteland. I was pleasantly surprised by the result and had hoped to redo larger rocks, red rocks, snow rocks, etc. That quickly became a daunting task with a lot of work involved. It also led me to realize that to achieve visual consistency, the cliffs would need to be redone too. Eventually I stopped working on the project all together. I return now to share the mod from the point where I stopped.
I will try my best to fix any problems reported, and I hope to eventually continue working on the pack and releasing improvements for more rocks and terrain features. Let me know if that's something you are interested in.
Please upload your own comparison pictures!
Let me know what you like and what you don't about the rocks.
