Description
Six (6) High Definition Texture sets for PMDG's one and only 'Queen of the Skies'. With a pixel per meter ratio of 171, these textures are not only four times as detailed as the repaints made by PMDG but also quite a bit more detailed than our MD-11 High Definition World Airliners. What better way to show you the quality difference than by showing you!
Making HD textures is not about blowing up the existing ones, times four. That would be like blowing up a 1 Megapixel photo times 8 and calling it a photo shot with a 8MP camera, or like watching a normal definition movie on a HD television, and calling it a High Definition movie. There for we build the entire kit, from the ground up, and not only for the diffuse map, but also for the specular and bump map, hereby making sure a rivet looks like a rivet, and not an fist sized rock, that scratches, look like scratches and not like grooves and that decals are fully readable and not a blurry mess...
Not only from up close, but also from a far, the difference in quality is notiecable. Glosiness and reflectivity follow the contours of the depresseded panels, the dented skin and rivets. Windows reflect differently than the fuselage, bare metal and polished metal looks, reflects and 'feels' differently from those parts painted. The differences are huge, but again... pictures say more than a 1000 words, so go ahead and see for yourself.
Close up and comparison shots
With 171 px/m, you will see the sharpest, most detailed textures for the PMDG 747-400X, available today, with all three maps, working together in unison. So where paint is chipped off on the diffuse map, you will see a different kind of glossiness, but also a different kind of reflectivity as the material and structure of the underlying metal is different than that from the painted layer. All this topped off, with a bump map that will actually show the paint chipped off as if it is 3D.
The best part? No noticable drop in frame rate compared to the normal definition version.
