Excellent work, as stated by everyone else. Have armor models been improved for all races as well, or are the high-resolution armor textures (specifically plate) only available for a select handful of races at the moment? My gnome warrior is in a full suit of enchanted dwarven plate, and high-resolution textures would look quite snappy for him. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

All character and armor textures have been upscaled by 100% using waifu2x. The overall difference is awesome - everything looks clearer and more detailed, and colors are more vibrant. I've only posted screenshots of the completely redone armor/character textures which are of much higher quality than those that have only been upscaled. My package will include the redone textures as well as the upscaled textures, and Cucumbers' package will use only the upscaled character & armor textures (with the exception of robes and retouched faces). We will also probably make a package that is everything only upscaled since there seems to be a lot of people who would opt for that.

They'll be available in the vaguely near, somewhat remote future. Stay tuned!

That's a good idea and theoretically feasible, but the only person capable of creating those textures is Sorn. So if Sorn gets around to it that might be a thing. It would probably still have to be a robed texture though because the robe is built into the model, but could definitely make it more monk-like and add it into the texture sets.

Update: I have finished all the iksar and am onto ogre females now. Retexture chat got real fun. "What is that on her lip? Is that green drool or another piercing? What is that stuff on her chin? WHAT IS THAT ON HER FACE?!"

They'll take a bit longer just because they have a lot of fabulous details (like scars, acne, boils, and all kinds of fun things) and the upscale wasn't too nice to them. Same for trolls.

Default Epics & Particle Weapons!

Some differences are very subtle because epic weapon textures are pretty high-resolution to begin with. Everything except Ragebringer's handle texture and Innoruuk's Curse handle texture have been upscaled, including the particle effects, and some stuff I manually retextured a bit.

Ragebringer blade, hilt & pommel retextured:

This is to show the difference between the brand new classic blade texture and the upscaled & retextured classic blade texture, as well as the very subtle improvement on the rest of the weapon from the upscaling.

The following were only upscaled, nothing retouched by hand. Barely noticeable difference, but if you look closely you can see a bit more sharpness and clarity, less pixelation in the particle effects, etc.
