Description
(UPDATED JUNE 12TH, 2024)

Welcome everyone, I'd like to present you one of my Warhammer 3 HD Texture packs that I have made over the course of 2 months. All of these were gruelling and exhausting to create, but they're finished now and I can finally rest.

A few things that I need to state:

- If there are textures --predominately hair and decals-- that contain black boxes behind them in a square-like formations, that is a product/error on CA's part, not mine. Please do not report errors that are of this nature unless it only appears when this mod is applied. I have tried fixing the ones that I COULD fix by editing the .wsmodel file of the rigid models that had these issues --this only worked on a few models that had this issue.

- There are some textures that have been upscaled by x8; however, with them starting out unfathomably small, and placed on assets that stretch the already small textures out, they will still look a bit off. There is not much I can do to combat this.

- You will/might see some artefacting due to me batch processing and automating the photoshop process for over 400 files per race. I did do a very quick sweep for the base_colour.dds files and fixed the issues that I could find, but there may be a few that were able to get by me. I have play-tested these mods for the past 1 1/2 months in 7 different campaigns, and I have only found an issue with Dwarven Hammerers, and to my knowledge, that is a Vanilla issue --red pixel artefact on lamellar kilt.

- If there are any serious egregious mistakes that I have made with any of these textures, please do let me know. Or if there is a unit that I genuinely did miss and haven't noticed yet, I will try to amend these issues as quick as possible.

I'd like to give a shout-out and thank you to I_LIVE_AGAIN for teaching me how to create these textures almost a year ago in November. I would not have been able to do this without him. The student has surpassed the teacher and you should subscribe to my texture packs as I have tried my best to increase their fidelity over his. I'm sorry I_LIVE_AGAIN.

I truly do hope that you enjoy these HD texture mods for every playable race in Warhammer 3. It took a lot of time and effort to create, but such a small thing makes the game an unbelievably better experience.


***LOAD ORDER***

- Put my texture mods above ALL OTHER MODS. They will be overwritten by any mod that touches anything within the variablemeshes folder, this will prevent these new textures from being overwritten.

Your mod is just fantastic, the textures were so ugly. now everything is beautiful I can replay the old factions without any problems it's really impressive and one of the best texture mods in existence. the work must have been phenomenal it's amazing! Can I participate with a pot or similar (patreon or Paypal)? you really deserve it!!!

Aye, I understand, thank you very much!

@Ratling Rattington VXII: I appreciate you asking, but at the end of the day, its anyone's to use! As long as you give credit to me for upscaling them, but other than that, you're absolutely free to use it for whatever you want ad infinitum.

Hello!

Ameteur modder here, I wanted to ask if you'd be willing to allow me to use these textures in some of the reskins I'm working on. Mainly, my Beastmen Beastlord and my Empire Witch Hunter projects. It goes without saying that your phenomenal textures here would definitely sharpen the edges of my, more so then not, simple graphical mods.

@Ace: I CAN group them all together; however, the resulting file size would be well over 100Gb. I believe when I checked my folder properties, it was reaching up to 212Gb but I don't know if that was counting other mods from the workshop.

Someone on another one of my mods requested for me to do a 2k version of this, and though that is possible, its equivalent to me recreating all of these mods from scratch once again and descaling them, and then on top of that, reserving another 200Gb of my SSD space to permanently archive the original mods for updating purposes, which is just not feasible right now.

I WILL be able to get around to doing so one day, but for now the file size and loading issues is just something I cannot feasibly fix as of right now. I'm so sorry :(

I gotta say those looks amazing just oof the space it's taking and the loading is kinda the downside I just gotta ask tho even tho i probably know the answer of why already, would you make a one mod grouping all of those together but i understand if that's not possible due to how larges those single mods are

Will just point out to anyone wondering about these, if you want to download them all, it's about 200GB...

How do I know? I've been downloading them for about 6 hours and I'm 50% way through..

And I bet you they'll be conflicts..

@Waddysjunk: Yes, you should be using unlimited video memory. I use it in my game despite already allocating it 16Gb just in case.

@Trotsky213: I've said earlier, in many other comments, that I don't seem to notice the loading difference with this mod enabled or not. Now that I am back after a vacation, I tried to truly test whether this was true or not, and it does increase loading times by quite a lot. I am sorry for that, it does eat up a lot of free time waiting for battles to load in and out of, but there is not much I can do to prevent this as I don't have the knowledge how to.

@Sfero: I HIGHLY recommend you using this mod with ultra textures applied as I have not tested it with anything lower. I do not have time to confirm whether this is needed or not, but I know that it currently works with ultra settings. You can give it a try and see for yourself, but if it doesn't work, stay with ultra.

@ColourlessAmoeba hi mate, great work. Is this mod only working with ultra textures? or can I used with medium or high? thnks
