HD Backdrops

Post by Fila »

I initially wanted to just do a .png to replace the backdrop but it won't tile correctly... mostly because of the way the original backdrops are authored. Actually if you do pay close attention, they usually don't tile correctly either. lol

So I figured I will slowly work on these. The first one is the Farm Road backdrop because it was already half way ready. The POD has to go above fixmore4 to take effect.

Edit: This is it, all stock backdrops have been replaced with HD versions.

I did meant to do that but my home network refuses to connect to the website for now so I can't do anything. Lol

Edit: Working right now, got a chance to upload.

Added backdrops for The Heights, Sidewinder Canyon and Excavation.

Now with the HD backdrops... I think I will make that distance fade that Kmaster hates toggle-able. With the low res backdrops I felt it worked fine but with some of these HD backdrops it looks weird, Sidewinder Canyon especially.

Just redownload the file from the opening post.

Here it is, HD version for all the stock backdrops and the fixd counterparts (so no hall of mirrors!).

Also, worked a bit more on the weather textures in case anyone wants to give them a try. They should be seamless now. I still prefer the alternate cloudy2 (which is clear) that i offered in CP3 but in case anyone wants a more original looking texture, this is updated here.

Remember to put them in WeatherArt folder in order for the game to pick them first.

MTM1 tracks with the HD Backdrops and Color/Lighting looks the most stunning to me thus far.

Could we somehow see the stock MTM1 tracks given the HD treatment within terrain textures as well? I would love to see it.
