[WIP] JK-DF2 Extreme Definition Texture Pack

[vurt]

Perhaps a bit of a waste? ...because you never really see characters up close... but anyways, it was mostly a test to see if i could improve these broken textures (using AI, a bit of filter forge, some photoshop).
Base images are from Jedi Knight Remastered 3.2. 

I also improved some of the walls and all of the cloud textures (because those were really garbage). Maybe i'll put up some comparison screens later.

@vurt

The results are great so far. They look fresh while keeping the aesthetic of the original models.

Thanks!

 

Some of the stone walls. Still needs some color correction and maybe make some parts a bit better.

Nicely done, I'm surprised how well it handled these stone carving textures. What's your workflow like?

[vurt]

Thanks! I used Plug and Play Diffusion for those with my own model that i've trained on rock textures etc.

Some in-game shots

 

 

some more texture comparisons while i'm at it

We've been considering hosting DF2 mods lately, would love to see this end up on here if that happens! Looking good!  

[vurt]

yeah possibly!

i have all my other mods on nexus mods (https://www.nexusmods.com/users/41808?tab=user+files), earns me a little money for every download, its not much but its at least something for a poor artist lol

moving along ok. there's a sky on map 2 after you take the elevator up on the roof and there's a TIE bomber.. i'd love to make that awful looking night sky better, but it's really nowhere to be found in materials\jknup. any idea how i could figure it out? maybe it can't be changed in the Remaster Edit, for some reason. i did unpack a ton of .mat files from those .gob files, but to find something that converts them to .png seems difficult. also i'm not sure its even helpful, i think the Remaster uses a different format all together for the images. 

Anyways, all other skies are done. 260 images has been made much more detailed so far
Here's another comparison: JuxtaposeJS Embed (knightlab.com) (better direct comparison than below)
