📋 About This Mod

Witcher 3 Texture Overhaul is a continuing series from Fallout 4 Texture Overhaul and Skyrim Textures Redone.

The mod will provide 4K professional made textures with PBR ( Physical based rendering ) features.

What this mod offers in short:

  • []Subtle Ambient occlusion

    []Up to 4x the resolution

    []Normalmap is baked for more depth.

    []Not a simple recolor or a sharpen/upscale mod.

    In depth:

    • []4K textures made with Photogrammetry, which provides most realistic textures ready for Witcher 3 remake and its ray-tracing.

      []Physical based rendered textures, provides realistic real world properties such as shadow occlusion and reflections.

      []Color correction to make the terrain look seamless.

      []I'm impudently saying that this mod has the best quality compared to other texture mods. Sorry but its the truth. Look for yourself!

      Compatibility:

      Texture mods is always compatible with each other, You just have to set a priority value to override a texture mod, a lower value overrides.

      Priority 1 is highest priority and 9999 is lowest priority.

      See my install example below to make it override other texture mods.

      Extract to WITCHER3DIR/mods/

      Add to your mods.settings file:

      Please endorse and comment if you like the mod, it really encourages me to continue with covering the rest of the game.
