Hi everyone,
I am a new vintarian and I love this game. I like the vanilla graphics too but I felt like it could use some more pixels...
As I am no artist, I wanted to try one of these fancy upscalers everyone is talking about. It's "AI" but it's not stable diffusion, it's simply a variant of ESRGan trained to upscale pixel art.
The name is HDCube and you can find it here. I used HDCube3 and Pixelperfect for some other assets.
To my surprise, it turned out pretty well and I think I'll really use it. If you want to do the same :
Here is the 128x128 pixel : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jkJbPtNhyXvxHchdeW9OgJXTkJ0TBUY3/view?usp=share_link
And here is 64x64 version : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gVQcDunauy28O5cV7DZAA39SdEJ2MEgS/view?usp=sharing
64 version is just bilinear downsampled from the 128 but I prefer this one. It's a lot lighter on the ressources and has an "antialiased" feel I like... Might just be that the imperfections are not as visible .
128x128 is around 300MB, 64x64 is around 60. Pretty light but still too big to be posted on the moddb...
DONT FORGET TO CHANGE THE MAX ATLAS SIZE OR YOU WILL HAVE ISSUES.
It's in clientsettings.json in the vintage story data directory.
For 128x128 I put :
"maxTextureAtlasWidth": 11192,
"maxTextureAtlasHeight": 11192,
Works for me, for 64x64, 6000 or something does the trick, depends on how much mods you have...
I included some screenshots for the 64x64 version. 128x128 looks quite a bit finer, but a bit further from the Vanilla style... A matter of taste I guess.
All the blocks and creatures are covered, it's not perfect, but nothing particularly bad caught my eyes during testing, let me know if something is really broken.
UPDATE: First, sorry for the inconvenience, the links are shared for everyone now ...
Also, I like to play with the mod Wildcraft from gabb and Wildcraft Trees from Catasteroid. That's why I did the same for the textures of these mods and here are two addons you can use if you use the upscaled textures (they include textures for both mods).

The last 4 screeshots are the wildcraft addon. Hope you enjoy !
