Ultra High Definition Project

This mod is a collection of texture mods that greatly improve the game's textures. Common, standard textures have lousy resolutions from 256x256 to 1K, such as 1024x1024. After some testing I found out that the maximum resolution in which I can make textures is exactly 4K (4096x4096). Interestingly, this is the maximum possible resolution, the reverse conversion to xbm no longer works if you try 4097x4097. That's why I've tested this fashion a lot and hope it was worth it! :)

This mod is made to get the best of Witcher 3 texture quality, if your PC is not as powerful as NASA supercomputer, please use the following alternatives:

Ultra Realistic Environment And Light by Jack3459 - only changes the texture brightness and contrast.

The Witcher 3 HD Reworked Project by Halk Hogan PL - Slightly better textures at no performance cost

So every texture I touch gets at least 4K resolution and a little brightness and contrast correction from myself.

In my fashion there are two types of files that I will explain now:

First: Completely new redesigned texture. These textures benefit from true 4K resolution, custom textures made by yourself or downloaded from the Internet, contrast and brightness correction, and some of them really see the difference in the game. Example in image number 3.

Second: A small retouch for textures that are already in high/good resolution. These files benefit from 4K scaling via Photoshop (like 1080p scaling to 4K on TVs, etc. -> see the number 2 image of my test 2K face upscaling to 4K), but of course it is not real native 4K textures, but they also benefited from the color correction of contrast and brightness that I made for them. Example in the image No. 4.

This file is the main fashion file and contains new textures of brick, wood, fabric and vegetation, completely new or at least in 4K resolution with corrected brightness and contrast. So far, it only changes textures in the base game.

Fashion FAQ

Are all the textures made by you?

Of course not, it would be too much work and not possible for one person, especially if you do not even pay for it :) Yes, this fashion will remain free, at least as long as I live. Textures that are not made by me, have sources on the Internet, which you can find in the section Readme!

Is this mod worth any performance?

I can't say this with 100% confidence, because so far in the first versions only some textures get a good 4K update. But if more become available over time, it will certainly lead to lower productivity.

What to do to achieve the best results in the game and make this mod more stable?

First, install and configure UGOM, then install your graphics card memory in the unser.settings file at least 75% of your VRAM (read here).

For example, I have a GTX 970 with 4 GB of VRAM. In the file user.settings I wrote in memory 3500MB that can be used for textures, warn that in this fashion huge 4K textures, and otherwise you will get instability and the game may fall!

To get a better LOD, please just install the latest "UrealLOD" from here and make sure it has a lower priority than my mod!

How to install:

For Nexusmodmanager users, just download it via Butten, it should work completely automatically.

For manual users: Extract the folder in the zip archive to the mod folder in the Witcher 3 software installation path, as usual.
