We also want to add the tack we feel is lacking.
#Star stable download now update
We also would like to reiterate that the initial update will be free and that players won’t have to re-purchase items they already own.Īt the Horse and Character team, we want to update the old tack to new realistic versions with good UV. Once again, we want to thank you for your patience and your support. Thanks to that, we’re now able to plan how much of the clothes update process will be made by hand (building a higher resolution asset) and how much can be automated (baking the old textures on the new meshes). She consulted several people and spent weeks testing the best approach, and as you can see in the picture below, she managed to have a brand new coat, with more polygons, and still keep the original texture. Our amazing 3D artist intensively researched the “baking” options (which usually apply when you go from high resolutions to lower resolutions, not the other way around). On another hand, if we increase the number of polygons on the items, the textures (the color, the details, what is “painted” on the mesh) can’t be used anymore, and we clearly can’t repaint everything as we’re talking about almost 10,000 textures. But even if we had a way to automatically “shape” the old clothes correctly to the new character, it would look odd, as they also need “more polygons” to look consistent in quality.

As you can guess, the new player character has more polygons than the current one. As the player character will have a new body, what they wear needs to be updated too.ģD models are called “meshes”, and the higher the number of faces (polygons) a mesh has, usually the better it looks. Let’s focus this month on clothes and items.
