[REL] Better Jungle and Trees

CptJoker · 06-01-07, 05:45 PM

Well, we're still stuck with the cardboard-cutout trees leftover from SH3, but I finally got fed up of seeing those ridiculous colors and shapes. Trust a Finn to step up to this plate...

After a lot of hours in Photoshop working from dozens of photographs I've redone the textures of the jungle trees and shrubbery to make them bushier, more detailed and more realistic-looking. No more uber-brown tree trunks!

Haven't touched the temperate trees because, well, I haven't seen one ingame yet. But when I do, I'm sure I'll mod them as well. :p

Stock jungle

Better Jungle mod

The jungle actually holds up to much closer scrutiny than before. Usually you'll just see all this from the distance of your bridge, but there's actually quite a lot of detail to the jungle now.

Obviously I can only test on my own rig, but for my part I haven't noticed any performance slowdowns. The textures are just as big as the originals. The only problem is a small, odd graphical scar that I just can't get rid of... but it's tiny, and I suppose can live with it.

If you notice anything odd, like a tree looking out of place somewhere along your patrol, do let me know (with a screenshot, for preference!)

Very nice! Now, can you get a few snipers in the trees who can take some shots at the sub as it passes?

This takes us closer towards that spicey tropical jungle experiance I keep reading about when ships make close approaches to land in the Pacific. I can almost hear the ukalalies over the pounding surf! Great job Cptn.
