Reach the branchRetexture

Restructure branches on leafless forest trees to reduce flicker.

The Reach Branch Retexture changes the reach branches on the tree without leaves to reduce flickering.

This mod was made in VR because the flickering of these trees in VR is particularly bad.

Flashing in SSE isn't that bad, but this mod still makes a noticeable difference.

What has changed?

This is not a new texture, but a heavily modified vanilla texture. First I upgraded it to 2K using Topaz A.I. Ultra high pixels. I then thickened the branches by adding a border and darkening them slightly. I've also included a version that removes them.

Install

Install using mod manager. Click the Download with Manager button and activate it in your mod manager, overriding all.

suggestion

Use with Reach Tree Replacer for better tree coverage.

Please see my other mod VR Shimmer Fix and the suggestions section on its mod page to reduce flickering in other areas.

FAQ

Q: How much flicker does this reduce?

A: If you look closely there's a few more, but it helps a ton.

Q: How does this affect performance?

A: Since most VR formats use the same amount of VRAM as most retextures, it may hurt it slightly.

Reach Tree Branch Retexture changes the branches on leafless reach trees to decreaseshimmering.

This mod was made with VR in mind because the shimmering on these trees in VR is especially bad.

In SSE shimmering isn't as bad but this mod still makes a noticeable difference.

What was changed?

This isn't a new texture, rather it is a heavily modified vanilla one. First I upscaled it to 2K using Topaz A.I. Gigapixel. Then I made the branches thicker by adding a border and darkening them slightly. I've also included a version that removes them instead.

Installation

Install with mod manager. Click the Download with Manager Button and then activate it in your mod manager, overwrite all.

Recommendations

Use with Reach Tree Replacer for even better reach trees.

See my other mod VR Shimmer Fix and the recommendations section on its mod page to reduce shimmering in other areas too.

FAQ

Q: How much does this reduce shimmering?

A: There is still some if you look closely but it helps a ton.

Q: How does this affect performance?

A: It could hurt it marginally due to a couple megabytes more VRAM usage just like most retextures.
