White Orchard is pretty stunning as-is, if a little ramshackle. The starting area where The Witcher 3 hero Geralt begins the RPG game's adventure, with its gloomy, windswept look and that music, is a lovely place to get acquainted with the game when you're out of the Kaer Morhen tutorial. Now, though, you can take it up a whole other level thanks to a new mod that overhauls its visuals with glorious photogrammetry-based 4K.
The creator behind some incredible Skyrim mods and Fallout 4 mods called - graphical overhaul series called 'Textures Redone' and 'Texture Overhaul', respectively - has posted a new treat on The Witcher 3's slice of Nexus Mods. Their latest creation extensively reworks White Orchard's own textures. "The mod will provide 4K professional made textures with PBR (physical-based rendering) features," modder Gorgulla says, explaining that this isn't "a simple recolour or a sharpen/upscale mod".
The mod folds in 4K textures that have been crafted using photogrammetry - a process of recording and replicating information about real, physical objects and the world through photographic imagery. It adds rendered textures with a physical basis, as well as more "realistic" aspects that mirror the real world, such as shadow occlusion and reflections.
