Description

I didn't like the original textures of the bear detector in Anomaly so I've tried to fix them to a certain degree. The textures have been upscaled and sharpened with an AI.

remaster 4k xD hahahah
You could make 10x better texture in 2048px that not only would look better but work better because it would not mess performances...

Any moron can bump res and AI sharpen textures, but no one have brain to realize that such textures are still crap and later you will cry why game work weird when you have 6k texture of item that is smaller than whole character....

On the one hand, It doesn't necessarily mean less performance, only if you have a potato PC. There are some textures that benefit from a bit of sharpening, IMO bear detector was one of them.
On the other hand, you could do something for the comunity and bring us the better textures.

yes it mean, because its not about pc but engine, and stalker even with 64bit tweaks is still lack proper data and texture structure to properly distribute it over memory.

I already remade more than 70% of textures, you play with them in Anomaly, and you can clearly see that resolution is not everything and not without a reason I keept my mod in 2k resolution for most textures.

yea, i agree this affect performance in loading but if you see the bmblbx176 work on sky, decals and weapons textures it's a good step forward and 2k texture simply aren't enough to mantain such level of detail...

Also i love that they are improving the vanilla Anomaly textures intead of replacing them with new ones which in my opinion would break the immersion

most of modern games use 2k textures, and you dont say that they are bad looking... you know why? because optimization... anyone who throw more than 4k textures to games is just a moron. That time you could spend modifying original textures and models to be sharp and perfectly balanced in just 2k if not even 1k(separating materials of object and properly setting UV islands).

Anomaly already have replaced textures from my mod, so your point is just empty... Anomaly have two-k texture and grass pack where I replaced default stalker textures... feel free to bring back original textures and tell me that its immersion breaking :] Replacing old textures with new ones ARE better than doing lazy *** AI sharpening to some ridiculous size just to get some small details that you see only from 1m distance

Then, instead of complaining, bring us those new textures that only the enlightened like you can make. If you mean by new the ones that exist in Anomaly... Oh boy!

Thanks! Any plans on upscaling any other items? i.g. the other detectors, radio, etc

I wasn't planning anything specific but I'm taking recomendations. I'll normally scale up to 4k, the AI can get funky if you upscale it to 6 or 8k.
