So I stumbled upon the GTA IV realism mods and I was wondering how is this done?
These graphics look better than the actual game, they look better than GTA V, they look better than most of whats out there now. Who are the people that make these mods? It has to take a lot of work.
I assume game companies don't usually go to the max possible graphics level (they may come close and then use adjustable graphic sliders) so that a larger range of PCs can play the game without locking up. So maybe this is why such detailed graphics are so rarely seen just. I assume the people running these mods have high, top end PCs as well.
But, the big question is who are the people/teams of people that make these mods? Doesn't it take a lot of work and effort to make it this realistic (even if the textures are coming straight from photos)?
