Watch the pictures below...

But I stopped working since having problems with objects (chairs, tables, barrels, etc.) because I can't replace any form of geometric textures and it looks muddy, if I wouldn't change them also.
I also created a texture patch for "Gothic 3 ", and actually I wanted to finalize this project.
Id be really happy about this, but I have never seen hi res mods ever done right. Don't take offense to this because its all a matter of opinion in the long run, but I think you should try and preserve the texture design as best as you can and just try to make a sharper version of the originals, not create a whole new ones so you can maintain the atmospheric design of the game as best as you can. So far it looks like the actual art design isn't really being preserved. When you compare the color schemes of the floor boards on the ship and the cave walls, your not really keeping the cold colors that were often used in penumbra. I see these kind of mistakes all the time with high res mods. I have seen few to none actually preserve these things when making a mod like this. It would in the long run be a lot harder, but I think its really important to making sure Penumbras game play doesn't get changed at all. With Penumbra being pretty much all atmosphere, I think that makes it even more important because you are playing with the qualities that the game uses for game play.
