1k-512 Textures for Mashed Potatoes

2k-1k Textures for Baked Potatoes

Nexus Mods


Isoku's beautiful smoke and embers textures, now cleaned and in full 4K resolution.  
  
Texture files from [the original mod](https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/836) were primarily in 2K and some 1K. I have cleaned all files of compression artifacts, and then upscaled them all by 4x, to a maximum resolution of 4K in BC3 compression and generated full mipmaps. I cleaned and upscaled them using [Cupscale](https://github.com/n00mkrad/cupscale)/ESRGAN and then finalized with NVIDIA Texture Tools and [Octagon](https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/28773).   
  
Performance Option for Potato PCs  
Mipmaps reduce VRAM usage, especially when the files are cleaned of compression artifacts.  
For Potato PCs, I've uploaded a downscaled version where the diffuse texture files are larger than normal and environment map files, which are less visible in game. This reduces VRAM usage considerably while maintaining higher visual quality, using the [Octagon config files posted on this mod](https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/68055), which I recommend using if you have a Potato PC.

This server is the host to Skypocalypse Academy, where modders and porters of all skill and experience levels assist each other as we dive ever deeper into transforming the bones of this magical game. Featuring an extensive library of tools and resources, The Academy is meant to be as educational as it is welcoming.  
   
We know from experience that modding is an extremely addictive past-time and can be a slippery slope from creating a simple load order to porting mods to going full boat and attempting to rebuild Skyrim from the ground up. That's why we believe in a community that integrates Xbox and PC gamers along with porting noobs and experienced mod authors. We all have more to learn, and modding Skyrim to its extreme is a community effort to say the least.  
   
Skypocalypse is meant to be a gaming community that supports collaborative efforts. The gaming and social channels here are intended to foster the social connections that help act as glue for our collaborative work.

High resolution retexture of embers, smoke and ash, now cleaned and upscaled, plus performance options for Potato PCs.
