hair textures 200 percent

with the release of dawntrail, this upscale has become redundant.

if you are unhappy with the remastered vanilla textures, I recommend you seek out an upscale based on the new textures.

this is a quick reupload to the nexus since the former file host greatly limited bandwidth. i don't really play or mod the game anymore (for the time being), so the last update was for patch 6. 2. feel free to adopt!

ffxiv hair texture upscale by sitch

• [] install with penumbra

  []most hair textures scaled up 200%, some 150% to 400% where warranted

  []uncompressed since I don't like how it looks compressed

  []intends to cover all player and npc hair, excluding those categorized as mount/monster (for now)

  []does not, will never include: facial hair, eyelashes, brows and accessories such as hair ties and clasps. not in the scope of this mod

  []some creative liberty was taken at times to achieve a good result

  []hairs 115 (except f_miqo h115, cba), 147 and 165 are not upscales, but textures provided by SE for patch 5. 3. I did however remove block compression on some of them

  []skipped some items that get like 5 secs of screentime in a corner

  []always split channels for upscaling, since not photos etc

  []there is still room for improvement, might update 📌not for the foreseeable future

  KNOWN ISSUES

  • []f midl hair 4 has seams. it has seams in vanilla. can't fix. too much noob

    MANY THANKS TO

    • []Kartoffel! Not only did she introduce me to ESRGAN in 2020, now she provides upscales for neglected content, wonderful batch tools andassists with my helpless questions! check her out

      []ESRGAN folk! This mod would not be possible without them

      []Normal to Height app by amushrow

      []used models:

      [] 1x_BCGone-DetailedV2_40-60_115000_G.pth for that smooth look (not actual compression except for Fortemps dads & Gaias hair)

      [] 4xSGI_103000_G.pth and 4x_cat_patch_330000_G.pth interpolated, magic combo

      [] for more difficult textures: 4x_BigFace_v3_Clear.pth, 4x_fatal_Anime_500000_G.pth, 4x_FatalPixels_340000_G.pth (interpolated & blended),

      [] 1x_NormalMapGenerator-CX-Lite_200000_G.pth (blended) for lost causes

      [] some others especially on older npc upscales
