[DE]Rebecca Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Tenno, Next week we continue The Great Ensmallening on PC: https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1223735-the-great-ensmallening/ To recap the main point from our original post for today: “we’re probably going to free up at least 15GB by the time we’re done. To reduce the pain for people updating we’re going to break these remaster updates into three parts spread out over the rest of 2020….” Today we will discuss Part 2, what it is, and when to expect it. While part one of our first update touched our Lightmap compression, Part 2 brings us to the rest of Warframe’s TEXTURES! We are anticipating about 8-10 GB of savings with this round after a 10GB download. But wait, there’s more! As a bonus to touching every texture in Warframe, we used this opportunity to ask ourselves “is there anything else we can do to improve textures since we are going through all the work of touching them for compression anyways?” The answer: Yes! In short, we have also made improvements to how detailed the game looks overall. Take a look for yourself (download them and go back and forth for best effect)! BEFORE / AFTER: Spoiler BEFORE: AFTER: BEFORE / AFTER: Spoiler BEFORE: AFTER: BEFORE / AFTER: Spoiler BEFORE: AFTER: Bonus: just LOOK at the details on the Braton's gun textures. This is what we're talking about! All of this ‘Part 2’ releases next week on PC, Tenno! Please note, we originally planned on shipping TennoGen Round 19 Part 2 today (October 29), but we instead are pairing it with The Great Ensmallening: Part 2 to release next week. There main reasons for this is we have some internal deadlines that are critical we hit and getting ‘The Great Ensmallening: Part 2’ lined up today internally was an extremely logical choice. We are sorry for the delay, but trust us, it’ll be worth it! Want a quick look at what’s coming?

shut Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 I still can't wrap my head around how the texture quality is becoming noticeably more crisp, while the texture file size is being decreased by around ten friggin gigabytes. Yall at DE are wizards or something, i swear 🤯 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaraWuti Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 So are you going to add proper textures to the Vitrica with this update, or are you going to leave it looking like laminated cardboard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HunterDigi Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 What about the hugely inconsistent materials on warframes where colors look totally different depending on skin, helmet and attachments... on the same warframe even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casardis Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Will this affect Tennogen skins that seem to have worse compression than DE-made textures? This is noticeable in quite a number of them, including Saryn Napellus and Venelosa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OniDax Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 So, for the textures, you just turned up the sharpening setting? Sharpening doesn't mean much when a lot of Warframe's textures (particularly warframe, weapon, and environment textures) are low resolution. Are you going to go back and improve those?

Lord_Khaavren Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 So will the retexturing include old frames? Like Valkyr's default skin? Which has desperately needed to be retextured for years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightmareT12 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Rebecca for the love of God tell me this will finally adress some textures like Wukong's emissives looking weirdly pixelated or like they aren't fully loaded. Because I'm just gonna melt if that's the case. And I'm liking the extra detail seen. A lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SordidDreams Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 14 hours ago, [DE]Rebecca said: BEFORE / AFTER: I'm sorry, but I see no improvement in those comparison shots. As far as I can tell, the only difference is that a basic sharpening filter has been applied to the textures. That does not make the scene look better even in a static shot, let alone in motion. Especially the ground in the second comparison just ends up looking grainy. You don't want eye-catching, attention-drawing detail on irrelevant terrain details in a game; that's an error modders often make. That's the feel I get from these screenshots. The change to these textures looks like something a novice Skyrim modder would make and upload under the title "HD Retexture Pack", get a total of 37 downloads after six years, and never make another mod again. At least the install size is going to get smaller again, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zurefox Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Hi, this update will fix some issues with metal(mesa deluxe for example) and old helmets/ normal warframes? :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
