Textures In Warframe

[.xTB_Kenshin]

Hello Warframe,

 

after playing warframe for thousands of hours (literally), owning basically everything this game is currently offering me to have / do, I've returned to my old habit of derping around with the game (glitching out of stuff which is way too easy with this engine) and thinking about what could use some change. Not the mainstream stuff, more like stuff that only a few people notice. Textures for example.

 

I will go all out and say that every single texture in warframe is pretty much "low-res". See it for yourself: Aim at stuff. Play around with the camera and get some close-ups on, well, anything. The entire dojo is a low-res playground*. Most warframe skins look just "meh" when taking a closer look. The nova immortal skin doesn't have any rectangle on it that's not pixelated*.

 

Of course, one might say that you're not "supposed" to take that much of a close look. But as you can see, I do. We play in third person and therefore can't easily detect these "texture flaws" from further away. Even so, I doubt that stuff needs to be that low-res, especially when people have "high-end" computers.

 

What do you think? I vote for textures 2.0. Polish the textures and give it a new option in the display settings. I'd like to wake up and see the brand new "Texture Quality" option in warframe.

 

Edit: My settings are all maxed out and enabled. Will provide screenshots later to show you what I call low-res.

Thanks for reading.

I'm pretty sure your Texture Memory is on low.

Check your settings to start with. They look fairly polished on my end.

 

Furthermore really fancy textures can kill peoples machines regardless of settings. 

I would like to see them, but IMO they would do best as an add on

16k textures for everyone!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH I know what this thread is for! OP's showing off his pointlessly high framerate! L2Vsync, srsly.

u wot m8

 

*edit: Can also argue that the low-resolutions on dojo textures were brought about by necessity, considering how awful the netcode can be for Warframe it would make sense to decrease the load in any way possible for an area with a theoretically infinite number of people connected at once

As if textures aren't the first thing one notices in a game.

ITT: People paying more attention to walls at the most obscure angles than what they're trying to kill.

 

The secrets behind bad pug squads revealed.

DID YOU KNOW: advising your squad to increase texture memory and turn on vsync increases their productivity in missions by over 80%?

New high-res textures to stamp out people playing badl- I'll just stop there.

 

Let's get real.

What the hell... is your problem.

This is just a thread on low quality textures... just wow.

Textures look perfectly fine to me when I'm not running along trying to lick them with my camera pointed at the floor.

Mfw.

Someone explain why this is in art and animation bugs tbh

Moving to Art and Animation feedback.
