I don't want to offend anyone, I'm very happy that so many people have started making HD packages, but unfortunately I see that in many cases the quality is quite poor. Again, I don't want to point at anyone, I just want to help with some tips.
- First of all, quality over quantity! If a package is completed in one day, then you are doing something wrong or you are just lazy. There are projects that I work on for weeks or months. Everyone wants quick results, but in most cases this only brings poor results.
- Delete unnecessary or bad textures! You have to check each dump to see if it can be used! It's unnecessary to pour everything into an upscaler app, it's just a waste of time and space.
- Sort the textures into folders! Use subfolders! After that, debugging will be much easier and looks more professional.
- Keep testing! Check the textures to see if they display correctly, especially the alpha channel!
- Use an image editor (like GIMP or Photoshop), especially for low resolution textures and text.
- Don't be afraid to ask for help! Ask your friends to test your HD pack! Ask others for their opinions! As I see, most people want the credit for themselves, sometimes in a very selfish way, but teamwork always brings better results! Especially for larger projects.
- Experiment! Use multiple approaches for best results. Look for alternative models. Don't use one model for everything! It is worth returning to old projects from time to time, they can always be improved over time.
- If you want to use someone else's dumps or upscaled assets, no problem, just ask for permission! This is important! Don't steal other people's work!
- If you want to make money from the HD packages, then you are doing something very wrong and illegal. Ask for support, but don't make this your only goal!
I know that most of these are completely obvious to many, but I still see that people forget about them in many cases. I really didn't want to offend or bully anyone with this, if you feel that you don't need these advices, then there is no problem, do as you wish. The point is to have fun while making HD packs!
And sorry for the poor grammar, English is not my first language!
