Luckily, user interfaces CAN be automated. For example using AutoIt: http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/

If the clicking steps are adequate, this could be done. It will still take a LOT of time, but nobody would have to do it manually. Also, the drawing scale can be calculated and in fact IS calculated by the website (which is currently not used, but the algorithm to do that is easily ported).

Indeed, that was the idea of it. I could easily start using that website again actually, it was very useful having that. online for everyone to see.

So pretty much the only untried method is using the MergeTool that unrealtexture peeps use?

Handling the drawscale calculation is pretty basic, but I don't have a clue how to apply this property to a texture/utx package other than manually setting it from the unrealed. Then again, I think the brute force/autoIT scripting approach will be... adequate.

ENBseries is kind of mixed. It looks alright, but it's not spectacular. I didn't really like what it did to a lot of the textures. I think it's more suited to a game like Unreal where everything's supposed to look old and bumpy, but it looks terrible on some textures in Deus Ex. Especially with high res textures, it goes crazy with the in/out bumps. Would be better if it used a MIP map version of the texture to apply the effect, so every single surface didn't look like it's made out of heavy sandpaper.

Or worms!

Or acid etched limestone!

Or melted plastic!

It's not terribly subtle, sadly. Lighting is nice, though.

Really would like to see how it looks in combination with New Vision though.

What I do know is Nick tried it out in Sol's Bar in TNM, and it made the big-screen TV upstairs look terrible.

yeah it makes certain textures look like ass (especially animated textures) and others look really good (and others it doesn't touch at all). For me it is all about the shadows & bloom which look really good in it.
