The release of the Upgraded Stock IV Vegetation is now ready for download!! I wanted to offer them for free for the public as a thank you for everyone for the support while tools and other methods are created for RevIVe. Thank you also for being patient while these were fixed and modified.
A big thank you to Shvab for creating his awesome wind shader which allows all these features.

Here is a clip of wind working with the new vegetation being made for RevIVe. This is still WIP so the movement isn't the most realistic but we are excited to at least get it working. The shadows cast are also real time so they move with the leaves as the wind blows.
Getting this to work takes quite a while and there is a chance to have the wind affect the trunks and modeled branches so stay tuned.
We also have some new shaders on the way which will benefit IV both visually and...
Good day, everyone. It's been way too long since I posted anything and I apologize. My family and I went through some major life changes but things have now settled down.
I wanted to post some work that I have been doing with IV. Since it is the winter season, I wanted to make some holiday decorations for street lamps plus winter vegetation. Not all lamp posts and vegetation is finished but Patreon supporters are more than welcome to grab the files and use them. I took a lot of wo...

I wanted to let everyone know that we are all settled in at our new place and I'm back on the project. My plan is to release new files almost everyday so supporters can receive files more frequently.
Please join us on discord for regular discussion on everything IV related plus community and project screenshots.

Its been a while so I just wanted to post some updates on Project RevIVe. The project is alive and well and we've been working hard. Current progress is working with a new vertex AO process to update IV's map assets with vertex AO to give LC more depth. All assets interact with each other when applying vertex AO so you will see darker areas under bridges, overpasses, in parks, and much more. Along with vertex AO work, all vegetation is being updated along with new LOD's so vegetation will hav...

Just wanted to post some pics on progress for Project RevIVe. I know I've been terrible at updating this page and I do apologize for that. We've been busy with all sorts of new additions. Here are a few things listed below:
- Upscaled Textures
- Assets are receiving added maps such and bump, spec, and parallax
- Complete rework of lighting assets and lighting throughout LC. (Removing, moving, and adding new)
- New vegetation with vertex AO along with new LOD's
- Map assets n...
I wanted to let everyone know I will be releasing alpha files soon for Patreon supporters. Since this is still in alpha stage, stability and performance is unknown. I am currently setting up a storage system along with some sort of method for a changelog or chart to show what is in progress and completed. The structure system for the IMG files are very different (especially the texture dictionaries) so just downloading and replacing an IMG file in another build of GTAIV without using this new...

GTAIV had limited light draw distance and dynamic shadow popping when transitioning from outside the dynamic shadow range. Now we can have smooth light transitions along with a very far light draw distance. This is a quick test to see if it is possible.
