Didn't want to spam here since it's a bit offtopic. But cabal released a new set of textures for Solstheim.

His vision seems to fit some barrens areas that some of you are currently working on. Ofc we may not use his textures, but they can be inspirational both as technique and as visual result...

I'm not a fan of his retextures because he always makes everything darker. This texture pack is not an exception unfortunately. When watching a comparison video, I liked the "before" scenes more, even with less details.
aye, hes definately a talented texture artist but its essentially just noise and contrast.
i like his retextures, but for landscape i am also using vivid, not sure which ill pick in the end :))
