About this mod

Battlefront II reduced texture detail and resolution on the ROTJ saber.

This mod aims to restore the original higher resolution assets by porting over parts of the 2015 texture files and modifying and adjusting them to work with Battlefront II.

=Description=
With the release of Battlefront II came some sacrifice to the graphics and textures present in the first game in DICE's series.

DICE used a technique called "Photogrammetry" to digitally scan the original screen-used props and costumes into the game, to create ultra photo-realistic representations of our favorite Star Wars characters.

Upon porting their original assets to Battlefront II however, they have halved texture resolutions and have completely erased prop detailing into blank colors and have then run a filter over all of the textures to give them a "fabric" effect.

This mod aims to restore the original scanned assets by porting over parts of the 2015 texture files over the new.[/left]

What I Did
+
 Took the high resolution 2048x2048px texture used on the frontend (main menu) version of 2015's Luke lightsaber and painstakingly chopped it up, and fit it to the in-hand model used in 2017. Adding additional texture work where necessary to blend seams. Doubling the resolution with their original assets.

+ Used the work I did as a base to make two additional variations on Luke's saber; the copper "hero" vesion and a self-created version that imagines what it would be like if the V2 didn't have the black areas worn off (AKA "V2 Clean").


NOTE: This is only possible with Luke's ROTJ saber. No other lightsabers are used in high-poly on 2015's main menu and the in-game props use texture resolutions of 512x512px.
