This mod aims to replace or improve textures in game with new high resolution work while retaining the original feeling and color palette of the game. Characters in game will be given much higher variety of uniforms, equipment and decals which will allow for much deeper experience for those who want to revisit the game or play it for the first time after long time. The textures are redone using original ones as base whenever possible (most are still nice and have at least basic realism) to retain original design, but all textures are upscaled to twice (or more) of original resolution, sharpened, and have decals either redrawn, or replaced with as much reverence to realism as possible. In effect the skins are extra realistic, but also don't look out of place - everything is done as to not ruin the original scene background and color palette that has been developed specially for SPR and MoHAA.
So here's the promised Opel Blitz, done in three variants.
In game originally there were two, but I did additional one, in iconic early-war Panzergrau color - as seen on first image. It was needed to properly make the second variant visible here, the desert camouflaged truck of Afrika Korps - these trucks were often hastily repainted from those painted with Panzergrau color, and after certain time of use in harsh desert environment the paint started to chip away, uncovering the dark gray paint of previous layer. So since I wanted to portray this effect for existing desert variant, I needed to color some parts in dark grey anyway, so finally I made two of these at the same time. Later it will be possible to add the gray variant in some maps via spawns (or use as model to custom maps)
Last one is Normandy variant, in same green color as it was in vanilla game. I wanted to preserve this one as it was as it look pretty okay to me. It has no change in color, but has all the new remade details in higher quality. Later on I'll try to make one in camo too if time allows.
Other than recolors, the trucks details were remade, some previously low-res details were redrawn, and the texture for front radiator grill of truck I made using a real-life photo of one. I also drawn on details of "weathering" - dirt, mud, dust and various damages and scratches for more realism (the green one here doesn't have it yet, but it will be done too).
Hope you enjoy, I'll soon send another one
WOW I love the grey one
Thank you!
"A truck!? What truck?"
When will the skins be released, and in what resolution will they be? I propose to make options in 1k and 2k, in dds and tga formats
I made both in 2048, as it's the best for details while going any higher makes little difference in game display
Will the skins of tanks and armored personnel carriers also be in 2k ?
Yeah as much as possible the bigger models like weapons and vehicles are by default in 2k
