The idea of Icy Mesh Remaster 2 is to push the boundaries and uplift how much immersion we can truly have as players.
for example
- Adding more meshes to the game which allows to design certain areas much better. With IMR 2 there are 3 zones, Ocean-Coasts-Inland. The idea is to add 3 different types of ice. One is more transparent while the other is solid and the last is a mix of both.
- It includes all the tweaks and additions from IMR.
- Ice retextures are gonna need to be specifically designed around this mod. By default none of the mods will be compatible. So the first retexture will be Unreal Ice. The next one can be voted on the Icy Mesh Remaster 2 mod page once it's released.
- Greatly expanded LODs. Every set zone has their meshes, and their LODs. All icefloes now have LODs, Icicles have LODs too !
- Any conflicts are addressed by a patch compendium provided by me. Patching is very easy as I only need to forward the records over another mod and there is already a number of patches created for the few conflicting mods.
- Icy Mesh Remaster 2 features seamless meshes final generation. Many of the earlier issues that were present with the meshes are now ironed out and works incredibly well (Even better than the current meshes in Unreal Ice) So all ice retextures will be created around those meshes.
- This mod will be a modding resource for mod authors and anyone to use. The plugin itself is not allowed to repost but the meshes are allowed as they are suppose to be customized with any ice retextures. Anyone is allowed to create their own beautiful ice retextures and I'll be sure to promote it on the Icy Mesh Remaster 2 mod page.
Coming soon !
currently a bit delayed due to unexpected health complications!

If I use Skyland AIO (v.4.32) for most of my textures, will the existing Skyland Icy Mesh Patch (v.1.5) work with Icy Mesh Remaster 2 or will there need to be a new version of Skyland Icy Mesh Patch?
As for other mods, over time more mods will be supported.
