Ver 3.5
This HD texture pack completes the Unreal Retexturing Project. Now ALL the textures have been remade in HD and have been through several rounds of improvements. Experience the classic 1998 3D shooter in stunning high definition like never before!
LE version. 3 GB
Version 3.5 is an update to the v3x textures. All of the Unreal Tournament specific textures found in v3 are now added, as well as the improvements to the Unreal 1 textures. The files sizes have been reduced in some cases, i.e. there are no 4k textures, and some 2K textures are now 1K. There have also been improvements made to online server compatibility. The UT 2nd CD S3TC textures are not needed when using this pack.
These textures replace the original low-res textures from the Unreal game with high resolution replacement textures that look virtually identical at a distance, but have a much higher degree of detail as you get closer up. Therefor the game looks crisp, detailed, and beautiful instead of blurry and low res!

Other optional versions of this HD pack are found there: HD4K Extreme Resolution Edition v3 for the Direct X 11 renderer
Also the S3TC Techdemo Betatextures, an HD pack that features all of the earliest HD textures by Epic and Diehard unaltered, many of which were replaced in the v2 and v3 pack. Any missing textures are now filled in from the v3 pack.
Other new HD Addons for classic single player campaigns: The Fifth Vortex, Deja Vu Gryphon Revisited, XidiaGold, Na Pali Haven SkyTown Redux
This release by AHaigh01 replaces and updates the previous Unreal HD textures that have been around for over a decade by DieHardSCWS. Also known as the Unreal Retexturing Project. It was last updated in 2015. The URP was never more than about halfway complete and many texture themes were not HD at all. This shortcoming has been fully addressed in my release. DieHard's textures are included in this release and in some cases have been further enhanced. All unfinished textures have now been made HD as well by me.
HD skins for monsters, weapons, pickups and decorations are not covered by this pack
For a complete HD Unreal experience use this HD pack with the HD Skins mod By Lightning Hunter

================================================================
Installation \ Configuration
================================================================
Patch UT to at least 436 and use an updated renderer such as:
Enhanced OpenGL renderer for Unreal Tournament
Or the new DirectX11 renderer:
Unreal DirectX11 Renderer for UT, UG , Rune and DX
Warning- never use these textures on a server or when mapping.
In short, there are only 2 things needed to upgrade the textures to HD.
Overwrite the original .UTX files with the new ones
Have “use S3TC=TRUE” in the renderer preferences.
Download the version of these textures for Unreal227 or UT99 depending on what you are going to use. If you are not going to be playing on servers at all, the different versions are actually interchangeable. Having the right version installed is required by most servers however or you will get a version mismatch error. (This is not the case with the newer DX11 only releases)
Also in Advanced options set Rendering - VolumetricLighting to true for your renderer. This turns on fog effects

Big up to my IRL buddy Kaff who helped me with the video trailer
These are really awesome - good work. Just a question though, do they have detail texture maps applied to them? In the DX10/11 renderer on UT the detail textures enable bumpiness on the textures with parallax occlusion mapping, as can be seen in my video covering the textures (and UnrealHD-v2 skin textures) here:
Hi, I'm glad you are enjoying the textures. Thanks for sharing that video! Yes, the HD textures have the exact same detail textures on them as the originals. The thing is most of the time you can't even tell that they are there because the new S3TC detail overpowers them. On the original low res textures its easy to spot the detail textures. BTW I'm going to have to get a DX11 card after watching your video!
Ahh cool thanks! And yeah it's well worth it to get the cool new effects. I will be doing a video soon on the new version textures that were released, keep up the good work!
I got the DX11 driver to work finally. I think the new type of detail textures are pretty cool but the balloon animal tessellated models are not to my liking even dialed back a bit.
