Sakura: HD Plants

I did a quick track-skin for Human's awesome Sakura track.

The tree- and grass-textures never met the rest of the tracks quality, so I replaced some of them with higher quality versions.
No other files are touched. This means this track-skin is fully online-compatible.

Hope you like it.

Nice one, it definitely looks better than the original ones. How about including it in the I/O pack?

Looks better, the pink tree could be more bushy though like the green ones but whatever it's better

I will include it in the I/O pack, though it will come with an optional module for visual enhancements like this.

Hope you don't mind me reposting this here, but here's a custom skybox for the track as well. Skybox recommended by flyboy from here.

This skybox looks phenomenal. It also does not change the tracks overall athmosphere too much, which was also my goal when doing the texture replacement. Perfect.

@Zipperzb: Regarding the "not-bushy-pink-tree": I don't know what you mean exactly, but it's a Cherry Blossom tree, and this trees are not bushy and have a tall trunk and a big crown, with lot of small blossoms and no leaves. So it looks like this by purpose.

OK then, then they look good although they still could have sharper edges but whatever it's good

I can't tell if it's because of the skybox texture or the screenshot, but the gradient is not smooth. Can it be fixed or it's already, just the pic?

It's not only on the screenshots Balesz, it's actually on the skybox images. I'm not sure if this can be fixed easily.

But while driving it's barely noticeable. In my mind it's not that big issue.

By the way: I've also included the skybox as posted by URV in the download now.
