Introduction

==========================================

This mod is simple in both theory as well as execution. Which is to take the vanilla grass atlas and use AI upscaling to double the resolution. It has also been fine-tuned and edited by hand to minimise artifacting and distortion. No plugins or meshes. As great as Vurt's mods are, they can come up a steep performance cost. This should provide a decent upgrade over the vanilla grass and can run on most machines.

Requirements and Installation

==========================================

A legal copy of Fallout: New Vegas or Fallout 3 with or without the downloadable content. This mod also works well with Tale of Two Wastelands. Simply Install the mod using a mod manager such as Mod Organizer 2 or Vortex.

Recommendations

==========================================

I recommend turning on 3. 0 shaders for grass as it will improve performance.

b30GrassVS = 1

If you want a longer explanation on grass values, you can click the spoiler below.

When this is set to 1 (it will be 0 by default), it enables the grass to by drawn using 3. 0 vertex shaders. In summary, this means you can have more grass on the screen with better performance. When it is set to 0, it will use the 2. 0 vertex shader model.

fGrassStartFadeDistance

This determines the distance grass is drawn. The default value is 7000. The maximum amount is 11200. Using the vanilla textures, you can easily maintain a distance of 11200 on any modern computer. However, with my mod I recommend keeping it at 7000. You are free to experiment.

iMinGrassSize

This controls the grass density. Its default value is 80. Lowering this will make grass more dense. At higher values, it will be less dense. Do not set
