| Nuvendil said: Doesn't shock me. I've been involved in The Elder Scrolls modding scene for several years and can tell you there are some insane retextures you can get, especially for Skyrim. Vurt's work on the folliage was a substantial improvement without making any changes to the base mesh. And there's another mod that gives all the armors much better textures and while the faithfulness to art design makes the change less in-your-face, much like in the case of this demo the details are drastically enhanced. Retextures and minor tweaks to smooth things out can greatly improve a look without putting in the extreme efforts needed to replace everything. BUT the one set of assets that will need replacing in TP HD is trees. Not only was power restricting foliage looks back on the Wii but also there are just better techniques now. Even on the Wii things improved substantially. Look at Xenoblade and Last Story, both with better approaches to foliage.

I've never seen a Skyrim mod that looked as night and day as TP to the tech demo. They literally look like two completely different games. You're right about the trees and foliage, though. There's a lot of work to be done. Just not as much as I initially thought. It's definitely doable.
