i’ll be sharing some screenshots of the actual LIVE game - but be aware that only some of these textures are upscaled as I have not managed to get all available textures - as with my current method of getting textures isn’t exactly the easy method and I can only get what is currently being loaded while booting up the game.
So sadly this means, it is currently very early stages and for now I will not share :
How to When If ever
Simply this could be breaking ToS - and I just really wanted to see if this was possible due to my earlier posts on this forum.
The art style I decided to go with in terms of upscale quality is “Cartoonish”
Why? Because it gives the a contrast my eyes clearly could see when trying to do this as discovered during this experiement - The game has many layers to it.
The Post will be showing not only final resaults but also during the progress.
I once again won’t be sharing how to as of this moment, but I will leave a note for Funcom the game is beautiful and I am just an amateur using my spare time having some fun I highly think you should consider to give us an upscaled Patch or simply the tools to make such this more accessible for us players it is great content consider calling it “community skin packs” - it can revive many areas of the game with very little effort I often see player driven content can come far in other games, and I do really think this is an easy way to spark some modern intrest in the game.
This would be a a great thing. I have also emailed them asking permission to implement a type of mods marketplace. I think letting the player base create content would be awesome. They wouldnt even have to give access to the full source code. Make a marketplace with people who are verified and charge small fee to pay someone to verify content and creators. Free yo players but small cost for creators to have the proper access.
I use the cartoonish style because I wanted to see a clear difference between the original & the upscaled ;
It was harder for my eyes to see the textures when I just upscaled them sharper
I am planning to continue it - but atm I am really working my way thru alot of things within the project- because as I upscale some things other things starts to appear very strange
There are many layers on top of the structures, tiles, light, etc that makes it all very strange
Especially on tents, grass - there appears to be alot of noise
but I will post more once I am finishing up with with some more stuff
Gj and goold luck with your project, it would be great to see final results.
I by myself created upscaled textures for Lineage2 with topaz gigapixel and thats why i suggest you use it. if you need copy of it i can send you link in PM.
btw which settings and resolution are you playing?
