Originally developed by [b][i]Saducimus[/i][/b], it has been fully completed & updated for all textures & models by Dafama2k7. Essentially, 1024x textures & models will increase the size of all textures & models to 1024 X 1024; The skins have only been increased in size, not modified in any other way.
This is definitely something you should should consider using as a base for your own skins, Dafama2k7 has hit it right on the head with his statement: [i]You will LOVE the amount of detail that will be possible![/i]
