📋 About This Mod

Fix for dirtpacked07 in optional files.

Added 2K version.

Added ~78 new texture files (this number includes all texture maps)

Now also includes some snow and grass textures.

More dirt, volcanic and rock textures.

Check the newest screenshots of some examples.

Initial Release

Textures are remade, not upscales. (All the changed textures have all new texture maps, nothing vanilla)

Textures are made while trying to match the vanilla look but still improve on the quality

and better match the environment.

Textures have matching color, roughness and height values comparing to vanilla.

Some textures are closer to vanilla than others.

Mod replaces decent amount of landscape/ground- and additionally some architectural/common textures.

Check screenshots for few comparisons of some textures in the pack.

Every texture seen in screenshots also has all their color variants changed.

Created using Quixel Mixer and Photoshop.

Texture resolutions

Albedo 2k, Normal 4K, AO & Roughness mostly 2K, Height 1k

Albedo 4k, rest same.

Recommendations & Performance

Atleast 8GB VRAM GPU

Performance & VRAM tests:

2K in-game resolution

DLSS Resolution Scaling 100% (DLAA) Optimized settings

Mod version 1. 1

Never got to 8GB VRAM limit. Max usage I saw was maybe ~7. 4gb in Akila City.

Average is around 6. 5gb.

4K PACK

4k pack did see VRAM going to around 7. 8gb in Akila city.

Only few places seems to Max out the VRAM while others stay under.

Average is around 7gb.

If using this pack with 8GB VRAM, highly recommend using less % scaling,

and you wont be limited.

I did not see any FPS difference with either packs vs vanilla.
