📋 About This Mod
I would call new version a truly second generation. I've probably doubled my efforts compared to first release. The key pros are:
-
[]Only best assets from first one were used and few more were made by me. All assets were cutted manually, not by soft as earlier (and contained inaccuracies and noise).
[
]I increased scale of branches elements. This improved quality a lot that important for most used 4K version.[]Dead branches totally redone as well. They looked really bad and thin in first version. I always wanted to remake them.
[]Significantly better compression from my last mods is used comparing the first one version.
[]Careful color correction, not like in "green" 3. 0 version.
[]Tried to reduce "flat" places in composition. The first version had couple such annoying things. Wanted more carved look.
[]16K was an upscale, now it is native resolution of textures (8K was native earlier). Honestly, 8K improved so much and 16K probably necessary no more, but I will not take opportunity to use it.
[]2K version added. Surely, I can't recommend to use it, but I really want to make this affordable for everyone.
Don't forget to take a look on Pine Shrubs Redone - best companion for these branches, designed to be consistent with them.
Screenshots displays 8K version and made without any ENB, weather or lighting mods.
Compatibility
Compatible with any other mod that uses vanilla Pine branches.
