Hope you check it out in the end (or through downloading the Village section) and see how we've done!
Thanks for the feedback! My personal perspective is that you do see the lines in the original texture that indicate that it's made of planks, although they are faint due to the low resolution of the texture. Notice how faint *all*the vertical lines are, even the ones that should be more noticeable. And of course, the original source for the texture is the real-life wooden door you see on the right.
Keep the new door as it is. Personally, I find that the grimy / weathered look of the restored texture fits the RE4 aesthetic quite nicely.
Fantastic work as always,
BTW, we already have 2015

An update from me while Albert is on vacation.
You're not too critical! And I went through a very small "internal conflict" with this texture. The original texture does in fact look like concrete or perhaps plaster based on some of the cracking / flaking. However, when Leon walks across it, it makes a carpet sound.
So I went with what seems to be the intent, given the sound assigned to that area of the floor. You're not too critical! And I went through a very small "internal conflict" with this texture.

Enjoy! Next time...
This one is a little interesting. The artwork in the middle, in between the two columns, is a re-creation based on what we could make out. The surrounding part is the original ornament, rephotographed at a much higher resolution. In the original ornament, the top middle section contained a little figurine set of the crucifixion, and the bottom middle section was a statue of what seems to be a scribe (you can see this in an earlier version that Albert shared a while back: http://www.re4hd.com/wp-content/gallery/0041-sewer-and-water-room/204A.jpg).I recognize a puddle when I see one and that's a puddle alright.
Also, how you guys can actually make out what the blurry, unrecognizable mess was supposed to represent in some of these shots just gives me the mad laughs.
Like this one:
Is the new texture from an original location aswell? Makes me wonder why Capcom even bothered to take something as detailed as this mural and shrink it down to such a blurry soup.

So, for the top portion, even in Capcom's edited version it seemed like the crucifix scene was retained, and that a woman looking up to the sky in a bit of despair or fear was added. And for the bottom it seems there's a similar woman looking up. Based on being able to figure that out, we found suitable artwork to work with and it all came together like you see above.
And that's about it!
