Re-imported this one, much better textures and new spec map. I will get at the normal maps asap.
Very nice improvement, feels a lot bolder.
A lot of the SoA 2 models had low resolution textures. Many were imported from the original SoA mod, or are 3rd party work from the SFC/BC community. At the time it was acceptable, because the new model specs (polys, and textures) were almost a perfect match as those of the Original Sins ships they replaced. However as Sins updated graphically we realized that many of the current SoA 2 models textures just don't cut it any more. So we are doing something about it ;)
I'm really stoked about you guys updating the textures.
I mean you could've simply focused on gameplay improvements and such and leave that right out - but the fact that you not only realized that the textures as you say "don't cut it anymore" but that you actually decided to improve them so much is simply awesome!
