Every one of these images was captured by the mod's creator, Martin Bergman.
Bergman says that running the mod can be pretty intensive on your computer's processor.
It apparently drops the framerate pretty dramatically (in the 30-40 frames per second range).
But it's worth it for these gorgeous visuals, no?
The amount of detail in the rocks is incredible:
Even simple geological formations are highly detailed:
More than just pretty rocks, the lighting is also dramatically improved:
And even the particle effects of something like a dust cloud are more impressive:
But maybe you're more into Stormtrooper outfits. This one is tremendously detailed:
Bergman did more than just swap visuals: he dug into the game's particle effects systems, the lighting, animation, and graphics. The whole enchilada, if you will.
There are various depths of "modding" — in this case, Bergman dug into much more than just the visuals.

Bergman says he'll release the mod publicly as soon as it's stable. In the meantime, we'll keep staring at these gorgeous screenshots.
