In last few days Ive completely remade 90% of the normal maps (yea all 1000

) and corrected one common error on those.
They were all coded with DirectX previously, and now they are OpenGl.
Unity uses OpenGL and the DX usage was a bad decission Ive made in the past...

Result is that now the normal maps are aligned correctly to the base texture, as they were inverted before.
Therefore the materials look much more natural, defined and make better sense overaly.

Another result is, that this round Ive made the normals look better and more coherent, because Ive learned in the 1st round.

And 3rd thing is, that Ive been updating the base textures during all the time, so now, when Ive created the normals from the updated base, the normal maps have all the new details Ive added to the base textures, and it creates nice effect (ex. previously some house interior walls looked too clean, Ive added some dirt on them, and now the dirt is in the normals as well... creating more varied and rugged look)

As normal maps basically determine how the material will look at the end of the day, the changes Ive made are quite noticeable all around the map. Visually its a GREAT jump ahead and the HW requirements have not chaged at all.

So Im glad I endured! And that I was able to somehow get back up to speed with materials creation, the rehaul will be quite substantional

Those red stain glass windows are eye catching. Nice work

Yup. Not creepy at all.

I've been contemplating that vine/root (213_8-0.png and friends) for a while, it looks a bit bare now compared to the rest, it could probably use some love...
But I'm not sure what needs to be done: details, color,...
Had AI upscaling anything to suggest?

True, the roots look out of place now, thanks for suggestion, I will try to make em better!
Not sure about AI in this case, will try tho
