even your default

even your default morroblivion has more oblivion-esque speed tree showing, seems rather strange. Your work on the new textures and meshes (especially the meshes, proper clothes!!) is awesome. Whats the chances of an upload of this as it currently stands? I suspect many many folk would appreciate it! :)

the meshes and textures will

the meshes and textures will be around 1.5gb, so i will have to break them up in several smaller pieces. you also need a 1gb graphics card. i have also made numerous changes to the oblivion.ini to make it look this way. also played with fog/hdr settings in the construction set.

Newegg currently lists 418 graphics cards that have 1gb or more of video memory. They start as low as $40, and there are 17 different 1gb cards for less than $50. I think most people who can afford computer gaming in the first place can probably afford that.

thermador, there is a

thermador, there is a difference between a decent 1gb card (costs ALLOT of money) and the shit 1gb cards (random low-end garbage cards with slow memory which are sold 2 trick people into thinking it is a high end card). Demanding a 1gb card is waay too much and completely stupid.

Yeah

Yeah, I know, which is why I put a EVGA GTX 470 ($250) in my new machine. However, there are plenty of good cards out there, and even more if you don't mind buying used. You can get a used Geforce 9800 for about $75. Or how about a new EVGA 9500 GT for $70 ($55 after rebate)? It's on Amazon right now.

Video card

I have a 1g video card, sadly its the ati 5450. I get lag playing morrowind. Might this still work? Because this looks so good, it's my new background. (the highest compliment for an artist's work in my world.) Where do you find the time to do all of this? And can I have a copy of the settings and stuff you used to get that effect? Just realized. We should stop talking about merchendise, lest we get more spam.

Will this be integrated into future releases like V18 or a later? Or would this be a separate download because of the higher end specs needed?

Balmora textures

WOW, overall it looks just completely amazing! Though I'm not very fond of the new balmora textures, I think the building textures are too bumpy and normal-mapped and the ground texture looks quite exaggerated too. It differs too much from the original color sheme I think. Seyda Neen and Ald'Rhun look amazing, and so does the Ascadian Isles region. I also noticed a painfully tiled texture in the Ashlands screen, in what seems the road. I really hope you don't take this too far like you did with Balmora imo. No hard feelings :) Your work is really amazing. It's just that it could use some finetuning and downtoning, that's all. Looking forward to the final version. Greetings TRJTA

yes in my opinion it's

yes in my opinion it's really too bumpy, that's the good word for it. The (sometimes kinda bland) colors of Morrowind had something about them. It looked really realistic, and too much normal mapping and bump mapping looks really weird, too high contrasted and fake and wannabe. I really hope you change it :) Maybe you could take a look at some of the existing Morrowind texture packs that don't drastically change textures bit just make them alot sharper. From the first post it seems you're trying to maintain that Morrowind feel, I really hope you do, but from this Balmora screen I can see you don't have it quite for everything, yet that is. I've got full confidence you will have it when it's finished.

still has the old grungy feel to it tho

im not to fond of the balmora textures either, but i also think they still fit the atmosphere, just not the original look, not everyone is looking for the original look and feel of morrowind. And i liked the way the blander textures looked as well btw XD

Brilliant.

What a lovely thing to see! I too can't wait for this to be released. I've been just running around in Morroblivion for years, strangely I rarely actually play Morrowind. Seeing those people with the clothes fitting would be enough of a bonus, but seeing it looking better than ever has really made my heart a-flutter. Your work is incredible. And I disagree with the others- I like the darker, grungier textures a lot. Beautiful.

Can you tell us how long we must wait for this awesome overhaul? I've seen in the screenshots that the NPC's wear oblivion clothing. Will they wear them in the final product to and if so can we use only those in case our video cards can't handle the cool new enviroment textures? Anyway you did a great job with the textures but for me 1Gb videocard is a bit much and i hope i will be able to use only the clothing textures and meshes, but is a great none the less.
