4096x4096 textures are great, but I doubt all PC players could have play the game with these textures without frame rate problems. But Bioware should have made the 2048 textures available, it would have increased the quality of the game significantly , 1024 textures are just ridiculous.

You'd be surprised.  I've noticed an extremely minimal performance drop with 4096x4096. 

Though I will be glad to release 2048x2048 versions should anyone have any performance issues.

Also, not sure if you could help me but...what is the material on Miranda's arms?  I can't tell if it's leather or what.

Personally, I'm ok with the 4096 textures, I have a good PC



Yes, I think the material on Miranda's arms is leather.

Excellent!  I've been staring at her arm texture for the past 10 minutes trying to figure out what to do with it

If you look at the original texture, there are cracks like on a worn leather.

Thank you very much. 
Now to go teach myself how to properly paint leather in Photoshop.

Well hot damn, that's absolutely perfect.

Amazing work here! I hope Bioware takes note of a "PC High Def" texture graphical option in mass effect 3.



Im wondering if you'd be able to look into the low-scaling issues of the terminus body armor. Its been an original sore-eye ever since its release!

I watched the "art of the game" for ME2 and noticed better textures on it. Even when the screen was recorded with a camera from a few feet away it was still obvious. Made me rage.



As for lower Rez for better performance, the only performance drop I get is from texmod itself. There is literally no difference in performance drop from using a single low Rez Texture modification to using 14 different high-Rez mods.



If only there was some way to bypass texmod...

For what it's worth, I hope this mod is helping to fill the void

You have no idea how much it's helping.

I've started recording a play through, recording all cinema tics and conversations. Fps only dies in the CIC and when talking to TIM. It's not terrible, but still.

As for high quality textures, your are the only ones I like. I have a few other things, like black weapon textures, the fixed Kuwashii visor, no Cerberus logos on crew uniforms/Shepards uniforms, better wood in the briefing room ect. But they do not live up to how awesome your are.

I only wish they were all out now so I could use them in my recordings (only just past grunts recruitment).

Your dedication and work is absolutely stunning.

As somebody who absolutely has no clue in how these mods are made, how do you go about adding or enhancing these textures from scratch?

I almost feel bad for using these mods, because I cannot contribute to the cause due to my lack of talent.... almost :innocent:

Hah, don't feel bad!  You guys are the reason I'm doing this!
As for your question, all of this is being done entirely in Photoshop, using a combination of custom texture patterns and some hand painting. 

Also, you folks will be happy to know that with the progress being made on Miranda, chances are good that I'll be able to release her textures either tomorrow or Tuesday.  I'll have some more pics soon!




I'm not entirely satisfied with the leather appearance just yet, but some tweaking will get it there.  Also I need to figure out what in the hell her loyalty outfit is made of.

Spandex. Space Spandex... Or PVC. Space PVC.

And I tried using MassEffect2.exe to force AA but it didn't work. I'll try again, but at this point I don't really see much point. I'm replaying the game on Xbox to create a romanceless canon shep (that's where all my canon sheps are) and don't really see the point in playing another game on PC.

I've beaten the game about 12 times already.

Your work is absolutely fantastic, i am especially impressed with Tali, its just a shame i only found your mods after i had done the Migrant Fleet. Those super sharp textures would have looked great in all those closeups! Keep up the excellent work!

And i have to agree with you on the leather appearence there, i think the leather/synthetic/pvc on Mirandas arms should be much smoother/finer grained.

Try using nHancer: http://www.nhancer.com/ (If you have an NVidia card that is) Make sure to set the AA compatibility to 080100C5: Unreal Engine 3, thats what i use and it works great, the game looks so much better with AA! I hope that helps!

The arms : the same leather than the white outfit.
The rest of the outfit : slick leather


Good work on the arms, but the texture needs to be a little smoother.

Also, JeanLuc, it may be a good idea to put download links for the other high res textures you've made in the OP, namely the Miranda ones.

[JeanLuc761]

Right then, I think I've gotten her arm leather about to where I want it. It's visible, but not too rough. Being doing a little bit of material testing on her loyalty outfit as well, and I really like how the black portions are more detailed now, yet still look like slick leather.









The orange trim definitely needs cleaning up, but that's a couple steps from now.

Do you think you could improve the texture of Mirandas hair to make it look less greasy and show more strands of hair?

I'm very inexperienced when it comes to hair and human faces in general, but I'll do what I can.

Well, sorry for having to ask this again, but I'm not exactly sure if you caught it the first time.

Have you considered releasing your textures unpackaged as well, so that others might be able to edit them to their own personal preferences? Rather than having to edit the lower-res default textures, it would give others a much more detailed base to work off of. And, if someone were having issues with running 4096x4096 textures (even though issues are usually just with Texmod itself) they would be able to rescale and package at 2048x2048 or lower resolutions without you having to release multiple versions of each package.

I'm honestly a bit uncertain with that idea.  While I like the idea of giving people that freedom, I've had multiple occasions in the past when someone would steal my work, make a slight modification and then claim it as their own. 

[Teltaur]

I completely understand how you feel, as that's happened to me on multiple occasions as well, but it's somewhat unavoidable when it comes to releases either way. One thing that I love about this community is that unlike most that I've been apart of, I honestly think the members here show a higher level of maturity (or at least mutual respect) than to resort to stealing credit over simple textures.


Either way, I respect whatever decision you decide to make. I know that personally, I would love to see what others can do with what I've made and see how they can build off of it, which always outweighs the rotten few who try and steal credit. Even then, I have a feeling that with the amount of support you've been getting for this project, those people are going to be found out pretty quick in the first place.
