Hello, This MOD greatly enhances the visulal quality of Quake 2, it upsamples all the game textures using the powerful Lanczos filter specially designed to increase the visual quality of the resampled image. The original Quake2 renderer DOWNsamples the textures to fit the weak 3d accelerators of its days, using a visually degrading linear filter at that. So, I can say, the original renderer MUTILATES the game art turning it into a blurry crap. It's not Carmack's fault, it's just the harsh reality of the late 20th century hardware. 3D Animation Agency Keep in mind that the monsters of Quake2 were intended for *software* rendering, their non-power-of-two skins are proof enough.
