High Res PL NPCs - President Myers - MonstrrMagic Texture Series mod

Because you deserve nice things!

High-resolution textures by President Rosalind Myers of the DLC "Phantom Freedom". Includes face, cyber-stuff, tattoos, and clothing.

I have increased all textures by 4 times using chaiNNer and ESRGAN models to the maximum size 4K.

If you are concerned about your VRAM, the 2K option is available.

Installation

Cyberpunk downloads the archives in alphabetical-numeric order, with numbers before letters. The names of the backups that come first are the last to be downloaded, which means they will overwrite everything that comes after them.

If you want archives to be overwritten by other mods, add the prefix "ZZ" at the beginning of the archive title, or if you want archives to be overwritten by other mods, add the prefix "00" at the beginning of the archive title.

So why all these high-resolution texture fashions?

Cyberpunk relies heavily on post-processing and native graphics scaling. This means that most of the vanilla textures have very low resolution, and the game engine increases most of them at least 2 times, but no more than 32 times compared to the original, depending on the graphics settings.

This technique allows CDPR to pack the game much less, but the quality of such on-the-fly upscaling is not comparable to what carefully trained and selected upscaling models can do with powerful artificial intelligence programs. Since vanilla textures are already scalable, the difference in VRAM usage between these mods and setting texture quality to High is small.

The biggest improvement is sharpening. CP77 relies heavily on normal maps for its textures, and then applies colors and effects to these normal maps. Scaled AI normal maps significantly improve detail rendering clarity, allowing light and shadow to fall off better.

Okay, I'm convinced. I want more. Come on, come on, come on.

Okay! Stay tuned because I plan to scale up almost the entire game! For real!

When I'm done, it will be over a hundred mods, essentially a complete DLC with Next-Gen graphics. All my CP77 mods are here. You can follow me on Nexus to be notified of new releases, but I also pack everything into Nexus Collections so you can install them in one click:

High-Res Graphics Pack - MAXIMUM

High-Res Graphics Pack - PERFORMANCE

If you're looking for a more complete collection of updates, I recommend City of Dreams, which includes most of my mods. It also features the 4K Graphics Pack addon.
