8K Planets (opt. original NASA)

All planets have 8k textures upscaled from 4k. Each texture was upscaled with ai technology and additional "layers". Original Moon, Mars, Venus and Jupiter textures! 40 NASA upscaled generic Cratered, Ice & Rock planet type textures.

NASA Sol System Planets: (optional)

• []Moon (Luna): Changed planet texture to original NASA 8k

  []Mars: Changed planet texture to original NASA 8k

  []Venus: Changed planet texture to original NASA 4k (looks more like real Venus now)

  []Jupiter: Changed planet texture to original NASA 8k

  []Earth: AI Upscaled from 4k -> 8k + additional "layers" in 2k

  []Extract after 8k planets main files if you want to use these NASA planets instead!

  NASA "generic" Planets: (optional)

  • []"Generic" NASA (upscaled) 8k textures for 40 generic planet types

    []Cratered, Ice & Rock

    []Highly recommended, see screens for comparision

    Other biomemasks Planets: AI Upscaled from 4k -> 8k

    • []Additional upscaled "layers" in 2k for each planet

      []40 "shared" common planet textures upscaled from 4k -> 8k (incl. Asteroids, Ice & Rock planets, etc.)

      []Gas planet noisemap "presets" upscaled from 4k -> 8k

      []Star, the center of a solar system - upscaled from 4k -> 8k (this needs powerful hardware to not experience a short but heavy fps drop while entering the solar system for the first time (until its cached), but the look is quite beautiful) - see the sticky at the comment section how to remove it

      N O T E S

      []To remove the "marble" look for generic planets (also NASA), delete all _rough.dds textures in \Textures\planets\namedplanets & \Textures\planets\houdiniplanets\terrainmapsshared

      []I'm keeping the original NASA textures as an optional/separate download for people who only want these

      []Does work with mods that add/change (planet) texture.ba2 files (e.g. Starfield Texture Optimization Overhaul)

      []You don't really need a powerful machine. If you are in the low/mid class you will only experience a small drop while loading all the textures but once done, there shouldn't be much of an impact, because nothing heavy fps wise happens in space. This is a pla
