📋 About This Mod
Mihail's original textures were in old BC3 compression. Most of the diffuse maps were in 4K and the normals in 1K and 2K.
I have cleaned the files of compression artifacts, 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 different resolution options, for all the folks that don't want 4K resolution.
