📋 About This Mod
Original texture files were primarily in 2K and some 1K in mostly BC3 compression. I have cleaned all files of compression artifacts, and then upscaled them all by 4x, to a maximum resolution of 4K in BC7 compression and generated full mipmaps. I cleaned and upscaled them using Cupscale/ESRGAN and then finalized with NVIDIA Texture Tools and Octagon.
I have fixed the transparency for the frost effect decal texture. If you still have issues when using ENB, you can use the plugin from the Transparency Fix by Korodic which applies an empty glowmap to that effect. Just make sure to load this mod after Korodic's so the textures can overwrite. Let me know if you have any issues with my textures, as I can tweak that transparency further if needed.
Installation
Requires the original mod
Performance Option for Potato PCs
Mipmaps and BC7 compression reduce VRAM usage, especially when the files are cleaned of compression artifacts.
For Potato PCs, I've uploaded a downscaled version where the diffuse texture files are larger than normal and environment map files, which are less visible in game. This reduces VRAM usage considerably while maintaining higher visual quality, using the Octagon config files posted on this mod, which I recommend using if you have a Potato PC.
Thank you so much to Isoku for creating the original mod and giving permission for me to release this mod.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the original Deadly Spell Impacts mod installed first, then overwrite its textures with this mod.
- If you're on a low-end PC, grab the performance option files instead of the full 4K pack.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to easily swap between the 4K and performance variants.
