woah

this is awesome

is it just for character models? any intent to do it for ALL textures in the game?

[Psycher]

I want to do all the textures but it would take forever. I don't edit each file individually, I do batch editing which makes it faster but there are an incredible amount of textures in this game. Each zone has its own file filled with hundred of textures. I have to extract them, batch edit, do some re-sizing and converting, then recompile the zone file. Doing this on all the zones would take a ton of time.

After running around a bit i've noticed it really makes the game feel newer. I really would like to see how all the zones would look, maybe ill try out a popular zone and see how it turns out. for some reason the graphic remind me of a mixture of WoW and super mario 64 lol

I'm gonna try this when home. Please try out a zone.. would be awesome to see.

Maybe write up your method and crowd source the zones?

I would do a write up on how I did it but I use a few different programs that cost moneys. I use the following for the programs

Here is my attempt at doing EC. Lot of issues.. white border around some textures? not sure why. Textures aren't flipping correctly. work in progress i guess

Very interesting. I'm not sure if I'd like it or not, but I'll give it a try to see.

The zones would be cool too, but can see how it would be a lot. In that last one it would look better if the trees and house textures were also done.

almost looks like cell shade animation, I dig!

Nice work

ive been using these all day at the SS's dont do it justice, it reduces that strange blurred look on alot of the aged textures

great work!
