Modder ‘Kuzja80’ has released a must-have texture pack for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. This HD Texture Pack upscales the default textures, is 19.5GB in size, and is a must-have for all Oblivion purists fans.
Going into more details, this pack corrects upscaled alpha channels and upscaled normal maps. Furthermore, there aren’t any vectorising effects and, after segmentation, all textures are seamless.
In order to upscale the original textures, Kuzja80 did not use any of the available AI techniques. Instead, he used custom software plus cuda, pytorch and his custom neural net model.
In order to showcase these new textures, the modder has released the following screenshots. Unfortunately, though, he did not provide any before/after comparison screenshots. Still, these screenshots will give you an idea of the newly improved textures.
You can download this new HD Texture Pack from here.
In case you do not like this AI-enhanced HD Texture Pack, you can use a different one that you can find here. Similarly to this pack, the ESRGAN Texture Pack upscales all textures by four times. There is also the “The Oblivion 2020 Retexture Project” that you can find here.
Have fun!

The day after the completion of Star Citizen.
Its been a while since your last nude mods news, John. No new interesting nude mods?
I wonder if we’ll ever see DLSS used to upscale textures in real time?
you wouldn’t keep upscaling the same textures over and over “in real time”, you would just run them all through DLSS when the game launches, cache them in VRAM or however Oblivion loads textures, then use the upscaled versions of the textures for the whole session. so it wouldn’t be real time, it would be an extra step during the loading screen that is done once each time you start the game, or even just once, saving the results to hard drive.
The version where you do it each start-up would be an interesting way to save SSD space, it may well happen in console games this gen. You might see “upscaling textures” as a loading screen when you start a next-gen console game, since their SSDs will be under 1 TB and games are already 200 GB right now before the gen even starts. Space will have to be saved somewhere.
why under pc performance analysis is this news released?
19 GB?……….
You can get textures which look 100 times better if you use “Oblivion 2020 Retexture Project”(on Nexus), and the whole thing doesn’t even add up to 300MB. lol
(For those who wonder, yes, it’s now better than Qarl’s texture pack. It’s not complete yet, though.)
Putting a new dress on an old girl friend is going to make one want her back? Only for the desperate.
Still looks like a old game though.
No, completely wrong. Purists do not go for these modded graphic upgrades. Only official releases!! This sh**ty clickbait article is trash!
