I wonder how long it will take for us to figure out how to add normal maps to the client :/

The later model formats used by the client (from OoW+) support normal maps. It's possible to convert zones from the old format to the new format, and gain support for normal maps that way, but it's tough to get everything about zones correct (and may be seen as cheating, since you might not be able to make the zonelines 100% the same...). Weapon models would be easier, but would require the devs to change GlobalLoad.txt to put a new-format weapon model file above all the gequip# files, to allow overriding old-format weapons with new-format ones. Animated models would be a pain.

Great work, guys!
Seems that the Classic re-done items look miles better than the initial textures.
With Kunark and Velious items though, (cutlass and GJB aside) I have to look closer to see where it's been improved, but the small details are appreciated.
Can't wait to see the re-worked shields! (especially the griffon one)
I assume Velious armor textures are not being re-worked?

All Velious armor textures have been upscaled by 100% using waifu2x. The overall difference is awesome - everything looks clearer and more detailed, and colors are more vibrant.

Cucumbers is putting some last touches on the shields - his shields are by far my favorite redone textures so far, they look incredible. Those will probably be the last item screenshots I post.
