Vanilla Characters HD enhances the original character textures from KOTOR 2 while preserving the game’s classic art direction.

Version 3. 0 has been rebuilt using optimized TPC textures and a new modular file structure. Transparency and alpha-channel issues affecting certain textures in previous versions have also been fixed.

The textures were upscaled at 4x using Topaz Gigapixel AI and optimized primarily at approximately 2K resolution.
