With how much hours I had been putting there I won't not call it a side job in any world.

So for you it came down to financial liquicity.

So Modding was a hope to be the main income or missunderstanding?

Sad, still respected. Take Care Sir - Gratitude for your contribution.

Regards Dino.

Tragic to hear, hope you're doing better may the HD mods live on. Thank you for WH2 mods!

Thats sad to hear :/ but understandable

I am glad you enjoy my work, to be honest with you there is a higher chance for someone to start doing similar kind of textures than for me to come back.

I see :/ that sucks you really made a great work one i always use when playing wh3..hopefully in the future you'll be able to take it up again at a leisure pace without having to pull 120-140 man hours per pack stunts, altho cant argue with your profilic results in that regard

I've been overkilling it by putting too much effort into things most of people would never notice. Latest releases were taking 120-140 man hours per pack and with my patreon not booming so much I could not continue any longer.

Oh how so? :O did you get tired of making them?

Nope and probably never will.

How are things going? :D Been working on any other HD mod? ^^

there is no scripts or anything included, it will work no matter how outdated it is.

Update pls !
This mod is the only hope for my potato PC

Да, скинь ссылку пожалуйста если можешь.

@Strelok Могу в лс ссылку дать, если нужны.

Бро, ты написал что огры готовы.Ты собираешся их выкладывать, или уже все?

@ColourlessAmoeba #FreeHongKong If you still intend to port the WH 2 textures, then I wouldnt mind giving you a hand. Its a real shame to leave all these great mods out of WH 3.

@DTAPPS NZ Ogres HD is done, I just have not got to publish it here and currently don't intend to.

Drats, I thought the Butcher at the end was hinting. Thanks for the work you've put in though, much appreciated.

That's a shame, but thank you for your effort

nope, I am pretty much done with TWW3 modding for now

Will it be done for Empire? If so then thanks a lot

@Гендальф из Ривии готов сбросить до 25к, с учётом снижения качества RoR единиц, время выполненной работы не повлияет на качество. Говоря о качестве, я без проблем сброшу на раннем или более позднем этапе вам текстуры для оценки.

Насчёт кидалова - мне это невыгодно. Если вы подобным образом закажите у меня текстуры, это увидят другие люди, и, потенциально, также что-то закажут.

@I LIVE AGAIN приверно через месяц буду готов. Ты главное не кинь.))

@I LIVE AGAIN Хорошо, как буду готов по сумме, кину заявку. Я надеюсь что немного подвинешься, хотя бы за 20к. И я серьезно говорю. Можешь не месяц, а на дольше растянуть, главное результат.

I will be available in 30-40 minutes

@ColourlessAmoeba dm me your nickname in discord I'll call you.

@I_LIVE_AGAIN. Can you please tell me the upscaler you used to convert them from DDS to PNG to then upload it to Cupscale? I am currently using ESRGAN to upscale them and turn them into a PNG, put them through Cupscale and mixing the Diffuse and Specular DDS files into one, then putting them through Photoshop with the Intel DDS plugin to save them back into a DDS file, then running the through RPFM and adding them to the Warhammer 3 variantsmesh directories and renaming the "diffuse+specular" file to "base_colour" to replace the one that is already in there.

However, after all of that: compiling it into a pack file, adding a workshop image, AND uploading it, it still does not change anything. Am I doing something wrong?

Thank you @I_LIVE_AGAIN

If you're really interested in it just start with cupscale and see how it will go. I am open to questions.

Or you could use stable diffusion instead. This one could let you visually change textures to completely different art style with bare minimum effort outside of setting things up.

Second is a software to work with prebuild upscaling models which you can find on upscale wiki and the last one is to get files ready for a cupscale since I put them in as PNG, then get rid of minimaps, and then on the result done with cupscale, do mixing between models to perfect results, add editing on top of it and remove blur, which could be done via cupscale, but not so efficietnly. Also Photoshop is there you'd be saving files as DDS before using them in RPFM in order to build a packfile which is pretty much a mod. For a cupscale I use specific 1.37 ver.

@ColourlessAmoeba just started writing that guide off and realized how much of an effort needs to be put it in order to make people reading it and completely unware of tools get the idea of whats going there. What does it mean? Guide will come, but somewhere between now and Half Life 3. Good thing is I can write the tools required here which are RPFM, Cupscale and Photoshop with Intel DDS Plugin. First one is to get textures out of the game and then later on build a file for game to read it.

@I_LIVE_AGAIN, When could I expect it to be finished? I have tomorrow off work and some time I can allocate towards it, but after that, it will have to be started on Saturday.

Thank you!

@ColourlessAmoeba I'll write a guide on how to and publish it on steam if there will be no headache, will probably do 30% of it today.

@I_LIVE_AGAIN, can you please either DM me or explain how one can go about doing this for all factions? I loved the work you did for WHII and I would not mind completing the Old World textures for you.

@Гендальф из Ривии у меня на них уйдет месяц работы ( без учёта RoR единиц), если готов обеспечить донат в размере среднестатистической зп в РФ - можешь кидать заяву в друзья.

Дружище, сделай Лизардменов, пожалуйста, я тебе задоначу!

Solely depends on the reskins, if these are just meshups then it will probably work and provide a visual result on unit, if its something to do with textures, for example adding a tattoe on someone's toe then look will depend on load order. Cannot say what should go first in load order since the only unit texture mods I use are mine and if there is something I cannot see myself playing without I usually contact an author and add his reskin as a part of the mod (VCounts HD for TWW2 as example).

Also, how compatible this mod woth reskins? Are there load order rules?

Is it save compatible? I would guess yes, but just to make sure

@Oh_Man[TFE] just like patching of the game it is simply out of their priority list.

Want blows my mind is why doesn't Creative Assembly release a high definition texture pack? Many other games have done this. Surely the higher resolution textures exist, and don't need to be generated by AI on their side.

@Haganaz even if its possible with Phazer tool, it will not be done by me.

Oh dear... Even with the automated Phazer tool??

Second one

How come? Technical issue or too time consuming?

@Oh_Man[TFE] most likely never

I beg of you, Immortal Empires factions when?

bruh

Thank you!
