I'm looking at this video

and wondering how do they usually approach this challenge - do they actually recreate all the textures from scratch or push them through AI upscales, tweak in photoshop, sharpen etc.? I'm not sure, but since I see a lot of details on those reworked textures to be identical to original ones, I can't believe they have been actually recreated from scratch and still managed to match every single detail.

Does this guy really deserve a job in cd projekt red like some people are saying in the comments? I always thought this is just a meme where you spend some time sharpening the texture in photoshop. It's just time consuming. In that case I wouldn't even post it in my portfolio. But again, if this is actually recreated in Substance from scratch, then that's insane.

One more thing - wouldn't the studio just use a higher res version of the texture (which already exists) for a remake and that's it? The work this guy has been doing would be slow and pointless either way.

That's what I was thinking as well. But now I'm interested how it's actually done because I see people cooming left and right and praising the guy for this, and I'm not sure if he actually deserved it.

Either going back to old project files and recreation from scratch.

Why the hell would anyone bother making this? The textures are already good enough for something you'll be looking at from a distance, in motion while you're focused on gameplay.

People play that game for immersion as well, they just like to explore and enjoy the visuals. It's a very popular mod. Also, it's not like this is Need for Speed that you'll run through the environment with motion blur on everything.
