I did a search and I couldn't find this posted yet, but the long awaited celshaded texture pack for Zelda OoT is available for download. Some screens from the final:

aboslutley stunning! You can get the texture pack here!


edit:

As a reminder, this texture pack is working with something called RICE plugin, BUT it's not 100% workable yet. You have to wait until Orkins plugin is released (he is working on it now) until you can play it in it's full glory. That's why you see some glicthes now.

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

That's pretty sweet. Been so long since I last played OoT, so this would be a great way to revisit it.

 

[Tain]

If only it were really celshaded. Still cool.

 

[Deku Tree]

Sounds like fun. How do you play this exactly?

 

[Luckett_X]

Just area's there. Wasn't there also some model texture edits someone was working on as well?

I'd like to just be able to download a fully Celda'd OoT than faff with individual packs and whatnot

 

[brandonh83]

That's a lot of damn hearts.

 

[koam]

I see they set the difficulty to match that of Wind Waker.

Looks Great.

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

That's a lot of damn hearts.

Haha, I didn't notice that. That's crazy.

[Tain]

You know what would be awesome?

If someone dug around and mapped out the level formats for OoT and Mario 64, and wrote an editor on-par with Lunar Magic for Super Mario World.

It's a pity there aren't many post-SNES rom level editors.

Bah, I was merely kidding. I figured as much. But I can't wait to play it.

Someone want to make a thread when this is 100% playable? I'll try it then.

 

[brandonh83]

I've been thinking about revisiting this game lately anyway. What a better way to do it.

well it's playable now, but some people probably don't want to experience glitches

If only they can add more polys too

Hence the 100%

oh jesus, that's awful

You prefer mega-low res N64 textures? This looks a hell of a lot better to me.

 

[Tain]

What all will Orkins do that Rice doesn't?

I want some dx9 shaders up in hurr.

You'll let us know when it's out though, right?

 

[snaildog]

Looks a bit hit-and-miss. The cliffs on the Lake Hylia screen are awesome, but the big spaces of grass and desert are just bland. Probably quite cool in motion though.

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

It would look better if Link was cel shaded too.

 

[Jonnyboy117]

Looks nice, but the unchanged Link model looks out of place.

 

[jett]

Damn that's pretty impressive. Looks really nice.

 

[Mejilan]

I don't think it looks all that great, but it's an impressive effort nonetheless.

CEL SHADED ZELDA FOR DS!

WIND WAKER 2: Getting rid of all the fucking water with some instrument.

 

[Shin Johnpv]

that looks pretty damn cool downloading the rars now when the other plug in is ready itll be time to play through oot again

 

[sammy]

looks like they got everything right save for the cell-shading ---

nice job on the icons, textures, and especially that sky ---- still, are they having a hard time cell-shading link?

 

[DSN2K]

1280x1024 4xAA 8xAF

pretty amazing to see it this clean.

Link probably won't look any better.

The textures can be re-drawn, but the actual coordinates that tell how the texture is placed can't be changed. So, for characters like Link that are mostly solid-colored anyway, there isn't much freedom in texturing him. If you were to draw something high-res, it would probably appear completely stretched and impossible to make out.

On top of that, nothing in this is actually cel-shaded; it's just high-res textures drawn in the same style as something that would be cel-shaded. So, no hard shadows anywhere or outlines or anything else like that. If only.

1280x1024 means Revolution can't run this game.

 

[Tain]

Oh crap.

After looking around, it seems that I'm wrong.

Maybe the Orkins plugin has some sort of celshading feature?

 

[bummyhead]

i still think these look absolutely fantastic, way better than the "real" textures.

I do hope that the zelda for DS is a 3d title.

Considering how good Celshading seems to look on the DS, this is not a bad idea at all.

 

[CO_Andy]

Looks amazingly clean

Any word on texture-modding for PSOne games?
