Mod for no Textures, just good and vibrant Shaders.

[Climberfx]

Hey, what would be an mod that did just that:

Remove all the texture files and replace it by a good and vibrant shaders. some with reflexions, just stuff that don't fill up the game memory, but only video board process, and not t much.

The option to play without textures at least put some fps on the full of mod's games.

Sorry for the little OT, but I can't help but think of the Skyrim Ultra Low Graphics mod:

actually not a bad idea. geometry is much cheaper, and there's almost no skinned mesh to deal with. you can model mid detail and use tiny dummy textures to take make use of the different KSP shaders. too bad there's no way to swap shaders like you can with textures using MODEL{}

[Climberfx]

Exactly! You got the point Nli2work. Windows, and strong and needed details would be in faces (mesh), and different colours for that.

I do think that would save a lot of people with a lot of mods and the imitation of memory.

Texture take too much more memory then geometry.

For that tech stuff, i do not know about. can't say if can or cannot change shaders

[nli2work]

real-time shader replacement is possible, but expensive. Transparent Pod uses it; so does Reflective shader mod. it would probably be up to the artist to set up parts this way, quite a bit of work though. There would be few tiny textures for a variety of base colors; the rest would be shader settings. Would make for an interesting look, like lego blocks.

Yup! Like Cartoon shaders. If you put the right colours, like an deep blue for the sky stars, grey on some parts, dark grey on details, yellow light for windows...

I can imagine the stylish it would be.

Well, better then i'm playing now. with textures on 1/4 and some times on 1/8 and Active Textures in Aggressive mode.

Nil2work, i love your pods man. I put a minor tip for the glasses that could make it even prettier (if that is possible).

Love Then.

Great Work!
