Warhammer 1 Texture Update Project

The darker screenshots are the updated textures


Hello! This is a large project I started a while ago that I feel has hit a notable milestone. Currently I have made progress with Empire, Dwarfs, and some for Chaos and Norsca. This project is ongoing and will continue to be updated
as I make more progress, eventually culminating in updating every texture for units from the first game to now.


During the transfer from game 1 -> 2 -> 3 the textures had a noticeable drop in quality and increased saturation. Details were lost, Normal maps even suffered. I am taking these textures and using photoshop and paintnet to manually update the textures by combining WH1 diffuse and specular, as well as even adding detail that was missed originally or that might improve the texture overall. CA has done some textures on their own, I have opted to not update those textures (Empire Lord, Boris Todbringer, etc)


At first I didn't expect a noticeable change, but after looking at Franz and Archaon, I knew this would be a fruitful endeavor. The textures look a little darker and more detailed. Franz texture sheet somehow got smaller from WH1 to WH3 for instance. It really helps bring back the grimdark look from the first game a little that was lost. The textures from WH2 don't seem to suffer from this issue, at least not that I noticed. I am also fixing broken alphas, textures and other oddities I find.
