Well thank you for explaining...makes sense.
I spotted the P2P download provided in the comments...trying that now.
This mod looks really nice. I just played RE Remaster recently but now I want to try it again with this...
Thanks for the help and making this great mod.

Hey, I’m back with a small progress update. Keep in mind that the v1.5 update is about tweaking and improving the backgrounds, so don’t expect big changes. Also, the 3D Objects are taking more time than I expected it would because some of the upscales are not good at all and I’m recreating those textures. That said, here are the news: New upscaled backgrounds:
This room has been remade with new Gigapixel and ESRGAN upscales and manual tweaks. This is the only image I’m showing because the improvements of the other textures aren’t that noticeable (fullscreen comparison available here):  Fixes on Capcom’s new backgrounds:Fixed cut backgrounds, missing vegetation and halos around trees on several courtyard backgrounds, including the infamous courtyard's pool cut trees: Comparison 1Comparison 2Comparison 3Comparison 43D Objects:I’m still tweaking it a bit, but it’s mostly the definitive texture (fullscreen comparison available here).  I also want to show a little teaser of something that may be included in the v1.5 release, upscaled cutscenes. I'm still fiddling with the files, so it's kind of a work in progress / proof of concept. Here are two random frames from the video comparing it to the original ( frame 1, frame 2). It's not a huge improvement, but it's better considering how the source file looks like.

Nice improvements, particularly with the stained glass painting room.

Yes! It's everything I've been waiting for and more. Wasn't expecting the cut scenes they look great.

Oh wow! I didn't expect even more improvements but this is just getting better and better! The 1.5 BG looks absolutely stunning! If I didn't know better I wouldn't even guess it is upscaled, like seriously, it looks THAT good.
The tiger statue always bothered me in the remaster because it looks so out of place because of its quality, but now oh boooy. It looks 10x times better, the new normal maps do wonders! Are you going to edit its 3D mesh as well? If not I could give it a shot if you don't mind, I've always wanted to improve that model but I don't own any recent RE entries on PC unfortunately as my gaming potato would turn into a french fry in a second, so I couldn't really do anything about it. Also since you are working on its textures, could you please update the plate to display the correct message? HD really brought out some inconsistencies like this and the "Book of Death" (the one with the helmet key) being incorrectly titled "Next World". It'd be nice for this to be fixed.
The movies were also a huge peeve of mine, especially the one you showed. It looks soooo much better now, gone is the 2006 youtube quality at last!
Thank you so much for your efforts! It all looks perfect and I love everything about this, can't wait for the next updates.

It all looks perfect and I love everything about this, can't wait for the next updates. I’ve updated the previous post with the new texture fixing the message. I'll also take a look at the book, just added it to the to-do list. If you or anyone else have any suggestions like that one, please tell me and I’ll take into account. And regarding the 3D meshes I’m not planning to modify them. Most of the 3D objects are usually quite far from the camera focus and it wouldn’t make much of a difference. A few ones would benefit from it, but I prefer to focus on other things first. Also, I’m not that skilled at 3D modelling 😅. So, if you want to give it a shot, go ahead. PM me if you need these new textures or anything else 😉.

I VERY appreciated mod of shiryu for RE HD backgrounds and i decided to fix these 2 bugs , i'll do the image editing work , i was 2D artist even before to become 3D artist/modder : i want create my fix for courtyard trees and snake door : here need a localized optimization via Photoshop and i know several methods to do it , currently i'm working to finish 0.6.4 ver. of my mod , but once finalized this , i start work on these 2 backgrounds. 
Shiryu , i don't have forgotten my commitment , i'm been busy last weeks , this week i'm resting a bit , Monday i start with my image editing for courtyard and snake door , i seen that you has did your fix for courtyard , but i want to do my one anyway.
EDIT : since already Shiryu has fixed courtyard trees is useless that i make another similar version , i will work on snake door , i have something cute in mind , we see what will come.
^^

shiryu ... is there a relase date for the 1.5 version so far? I'm asking this because I saw you just updated the post giving links to the Nexus pageand made me think of the 1.5 version of it

I'm asking this because I saw you just updated the post giving links to the Nexus pageand made me think of the 1.5 version of it Unfortunately, no. As I wrote at the blog, the progress has been a tad slow due to me being busy with personal stuff. However, I still stand with the announced time frame of releasing it during the summer, but there's without a definite deadline, when everything is done and tested I'll publish it. I think that in two or three weeks I'll have less work and I'll be able to finish a few things that are still halfway through, so I'll be able to show some of the progress that I've done then.Turns out I'm even more busy than I had expected. I'm still working on it, but at the moment I have almost no free time and, conseqently, no time to work and finish some stuff to show something meaningful

Why did you swap the Yellow and Blue words? Keep up the awesome work! I swapped the words, and modified the message itself, to match the text on the texture with the text of the subtitles.
