📋 About This Mod
The original textures were uncompressed and mostly in 2K.
I have upscaled them using chaiNNer and ESRGAN models to a max of 8K resolution and re-compressed all textures in modern BC7 format with full mipmaps. I have also downscaled the textures to provide a variety of resolution options.
I will most likely be doing some alternate color versions of this armor, but I'm very busy with other projects right now, so I wanted to get this out for you to enjoy. If you want to see other colors, please track this mod, and if you have ideas I invite you to post them in the comments. Thanks!
