📋 About This Mod
13 hours of batch processes later...
The original textures were in primarily BC1 and BC3 compression and 512 and 1K resolution.
I have cleaned the files of compression artifacts and upscaled them using chaiNNer and ESRGAN models to a max of 4K resolution, and re-compressed in modern BC7 format with full mipmaps. I have also downscaled the textures to provide different resolution options.
Requires the original mod
I recommend using this along with Creation Club Anniversary Cleaned and Upscaled by Kartoffels, as the Extended Cut uses a lot of textures from the vanilla CC assets.
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.
