HD Shield MOD v091 For Caesar/Augustus Legions [UPDATE! New hields]

Description
[newest version]
HD Ultra Shield Mod

]I have changed all the shield textures for the Caesar/Augustus legionaries from 128x256 to 512x1024.
I have redrawn them based on the originals but in a much higher resolution. I would like to upgrade ALL shields in the game, so the battle would look awesome, is there interest for that?

**IMPORANTANT**
It takes a lot of video RAM, so if you experience instability, you can switch "unlimited memory" on in graphics settings[//]


You need around 2-4 GB video ram on you graphics card to run this version, I can make a version that runs older card, if there is interest for that.

If there was a lot of interest in redrawing the textures for shields and other stuff, I could really make the game look modern:)


Enjoy

@everyones :
Here is 3dx max playing an animation that my program has extracted from Rome2:

I have finally gotten animations OUT of Total War games, so people can edit them and put them back in the game My program RigidModel Editor 1.0, that can do those things will be released as soon as correct the last few bugs. It can do lots of thingd, including drawing the models with textures, lighting normal mapping, so they look like in-game.

And it has many new shields and several corrections . You should all move over there ;) This mod on THIS page will most likely never be updated again :(

Also this is essentially still a demo, I intend to make all the 22 Augustus/Cæsar legionary shields, different, as they are in vanilla, getting a lot more variantion, but still based on the originals, if the originals look OK. When I have finished the Augustus legionaries, I will continue ON with the pre-Marian legionaries, Hastati, Pricipes and Triarii, if there is interest for that. And also upgrade the shield texture themselves, so the shields in general look more like from a modern game, and then maybe armor. My goal is to upgrade Rome2 graphics to a poiint where is looks as good at say Thrones of Britannia.

I hope I can get some feed back on that goal, to see it there is interest as I said, and also to listen to you a find out what battle graphics are MORE in need of serious upgrade.

Well, thanks:), I have a single 1080ti and the mod runs without issue, sometimes in older games, the game cannot figure out how to use double (or more cards) effectively, sometimes they even perform worse than just a single card. As I said before, I can make a version, where the resolution of the shield patterns are a bit lower, that would be almost impossible to see, but it would mean that the GPU do not have to "chew" through through nearly as many pixels. If people with older cards (even a single 1080ti is still high end). It would very easy to make a version of the mod for older cards, so just say the word and I will start making it:)

My PC is handling this mod pretty well but I have two 1080tis to crunch through it. So far so good. I'd like to see more but I'm only one opinion, I'll let others chime in as they play with it.

Also I had planed to upgrade all shields, but patterns and and the actual shield textures behind, but I need to hear from you, the users, if that is something that you want, because it is way too much work, if people does not really want it anyway.

I can very quickly mak a version of this mod that runs well on older machines, is that something you would want, those with older machines? It will still look better than vanilla:)
