NFSC HD Vinyls [v2.1]




These textures have not been upscaled with AI or filtered through Photoshop. These are the original vector vinyls rendered in 2048 resolution. The remaining raster (precompiled) vinyls were either replaced with 2048 counterparts, or faithfully remade using vector assets. The end result gives a massive boost in quality to all vinyls used in the game.

In addition, the dummy textures for vectors were using 1-bit alpha channels. After correcting this error, some vinyls now have a visible drop shadow that previously couldn't be seen. These drop shadows are also present in the console version, so what you see is exactly what the developers intended.




HOW TO INSTALL

3. Launch Binary and select "User Mode".
4. Open INSTALL.end with Binary and follow the instructions.

@Aero hi, I have a question, would you make nfs mw 2005 stickers in the same resolution?
