Pretty cool! So this will work on any Heroes version (3.1?) and is your download file the latest (i.e. with all the updates you do as you go along)?

Is it possible for Emerald Dragon to have dark-green skin, like an emerald?
While Crystal Dragon have more brilliant-white skin like a diamond? At present, these two don't have too much differences.
Edit : and will this mod include Xuxo's alternative terrain graphic? If yes, I'd be estatic :lol:
I'll give it a try with the dragons, I think it's pretty possible.
And yes, the mod will contain Xuxo's terrains; not only that, but I improved his awesome terrains with the texture sharpening effect so they look even better!

This mod works with TotE 3.1, and I'm positive it works on 3.0 too.
Not sure if it works on lesser versions though, as they use different structures for textures.
More before&after:
That's a big jump in texture quality, and those aren't even the most improved.
The only problem is the file weights 334 mb 
Gotta find a good hoster for that.

Overall, I think your effort is great. However I do have to add that I dislike what you did to the dessert terrain.
It now looks like a rocky wasteland, whereas I realy enjoyed the idea of the Sanddune dessert.

Well, the demo is mostly for those who want to see how it looks in-game.
You can see how I changed Orcs & Inferno & Terrains to get an idea of how the final version will be.
The complete mod will be released very soon, at this point the product is finished, I'm just doing some fixing here and there and testing the mod by playing some games.

Hmm. I guess that comes down to personal preference, I personally didn't like the pink-ish desert from default game.
I guess you can just remove the file for desert, you'll get the original desert while keeping the rest of the mod.
Here is some more before&after!
Just started playing this sea map and I feel like I'm playing another game lol.

Yeah, I think the previous desert is better. That much of sand does make the terrain look blur.
If I download your mod, how can I keep the dune-ish desert? Which file(s) should I delete?

Go in Textures/Terrains and delete the whole Sand folder, or just the textures you don't like.
You can open the DDS files with any DDS viewer so you can decide what you want to keep and what you want to remove.

Academy textures are only 16mb so there you go: Academy HD

The latest screenshots you posted above look great, especially with the leaves on the ground.....just commenting here: have you not lost a lot of green lush colours for brown (referring to grass on ground)?

This is so awsome  I just found my way here - to this excelent mod. Realy good job man. It gives me one more reason to stay with H5 and leave H6 on a dusty shelf until (if) it will be fixed. (btw i love H6 comunity patch you did as well )
As for the other comments about the desert - I like the new look better - idk it feels more "realistic" desert to me (majority of desert is kinda rocky wasteland in reality)
I just couldn't understood one thing - if i download "demo" - does this include all changes you done so far? or will you post complete version in future - i didn't understand well

Hehe well I too have played H6 and got bored of it within a week... as for the desert I dunno, I've honestly never seen a desert in real life but this texture seems good to me.
I've looked for better textures around but wasn't able to find anything better than this.
Regarding the demo, it includes reskin of all Inferno, Stronghold and Renegades creatures only.
I released it for testing purposes until I find a better hoster: mediafire only allows to upload up to 200mb while the final version weights 330mb+.
I also released Academy in the post above.
Worry not btw, I'll upload the whole as soon as I find a decent hoster.

I think you need to add in the first post several instructions :
a) how to use this (is it placing the h5u in usermod?)
b) how to delete/edit part of it (for example, Desert terrain)
I have never modded Heroes before, so I don't know what to do. Should I extract the h5u, delete the Desert folder then rezip it? What program should I use to extract and rezip it?
Thanks, downloading your Academy now!
EDIT : Your Emerald and Crystal Dragons are awesome! I'd love to use them too! Great job,  !

Just by curiosity do you update your file on the original post every time you make a change or are you going to do a mass update soon
PS: This stuff is just pure awesomeness, just what I've been waiting for so long... something to revitalize the game make things more... interesting
PPS: KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!!

Nope the file is just a demo with 2 factions, because I haven't found a hoster for a 330mb file yet! 
Mediafire tells me I have to pay to upload stuff more than 200mb.

Falconian, mediafire does not allow a file with more than 200 MB, right? How about splitting your graphic overhaul per faction (as Academy that you already upload)? That would make the files smaller, and it will allow us to choose, which retexture we will use.

Yeah, that is a great idea! I will split the mod into parts.
Honestly I didn't want to use another hoster other than mediafire because this one is realiable and keeps files for decades.
My gf is using my comp tonight (she's a Skyrim addict lol) but I will be starting the uploading work tomorrow.

Just finished Skyrim the other day (well the main quest - cos you never really finish the game!) and it was good, but glad to shelve it now and get back to Heroes.....still play alot of H5 TOH duel map of Elvin's and this graphics change would be cool eye candy!
Let us know when your gf is off your pc!
