Modder ‘HalkHogan’ has released a new version of his HD Texture Pack for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. This new version of his project fixes some LOD issues with the rocks, making them look more natural than before. In addition, the new textures for rocks are much more optimized.
Furthermore, the modder has reworked and increased the resolution of the Toadstool textures from 256×256/128×128 to 1024×512/1024×512.
Those interested can download the latest version of this Texture Pack from here.
Below you can find some comparison screenshots between the modded and the vanilla versions of the game. Modded is on the left whereas vanilla is on the right.
Enjoy!

What’s the performance hit?
Nothing. Textures = VRAM. You either have the VRAM for it or the game becomes a stutterfest. This is a very light texture pack though. It will take years for the entire game to get a HD Texture pack and people will prob aim for 4k textures. Those might require a big VRAM GPU. This pack doesn’t.
Im not too crazy about how they made the rocks far more porous then they actually had to be.
You didn’t even read the first 3 words of the article?
i read….all the words? What?
Single person doing this whole thing.
And?
My opinion remains the same regardless.
Some rocks are more porous than other rocks.
You should go out more. Nature is cool.
agreed, although not every single rock is.
That comment for some reason reminds me of a funny scene in Braveheart,
Hamish “Some are bigger than others”
Campbell “Your mother been telling ya stories about me again, eh?”
Decent effort so far.
