Check out the subtle retexturing on Leon's shirt. It's nice,

No, no. Ignore Leon's costume. That should not be considered the final texture at all.

Yeah, it's not final. I like the direction, though. It doesn't scream in your face. A little less "undersea diver" and I think you've got something great there.

Exceptional work, as usual, but do the specular highlights on that one area seem a little hot?

 

[TetraGenesis]

Itchy. Tasty.

Hahahahahahaaaa

I really appreciated you laying out the order of your process. Knowing the characters and items are coming after environments is very very exciting.

 

[Alo81]

It's incredible the increased amount of perceived depth you get from these. Things that at one point looked like super flat planes with low res textures pasted on top actually start looking like their own 3D geometry when viewed at a typical angle. It's a huge difference and big quality increase.

There's a new update at http://www.re4hd.com/?p=1593 .

I'll just leave this one image here, because wow.

Ridiculous.

I wish there was a 3d artist (and a shader guy) doing modding work on this as dedicated as you guys are. Up the poly count on the low-poly objects, add some fancy-schmancy shading tricks here and there and this would look like a RE7 (with less ridiculous action)

Yeah, I'm with you on this. There are a lot of areas where some subtle changes to geometry and shaders and the like would really bring RE4 into the modern era without tampering with the soul of the game.

The main thing after texture work that it really needs is a lighting overhaul. Some kind of dynamic lighting and shadows would be one of the biggest improvements it could see but I'm assuming that's rather difficult, if not impossible to do for this game. Even if it were, it would probably take a lot of work to make sure it still stays true to the looks of the game somehow.

I really like that texture on the shirt, I can dig it.

New update, focusing on the Chimera scene where you have to assemble the three pieces. Still tweaking the coloring. Enjoy!

Beautiful, the work on that metal surface is especially impressive. Don't stop now! Keep going, you guys are the shit!

 

[Sanctuary]

I'm not sure I would even want to play RE4 again (for like the sixth time) if this project was never finished. You cannot unsee what's been seen. This work is so unbelievably good.

 

[Barrow Roll]

That is just incredible. I cannot wait for this get done.

 

[televator]

I'm just laughing now at the comparison shots. It makes capcom's PC port look like baby's first PC textures.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Where did the plagas symbol come from anyway? I figured it was an original Capcom thing.

 

[Coonce]

Right? I can't believe this is in the store page description

A complete visual overhaul has been performed to bring this revered title to the highest graphical quality ever.

some overhaul capcom =/

edit - my reply was a bit harsh, I played the original on GC so I greatly appreciate the work that was put into making the game 1080p, but some of the default textures, yikes. I'm just glad we have you guys working on actual HD textures that really make the game look amazing.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

All I know is my pro mode replay at 60fps is going to look and feel amazing

 

[crisdecuba]

Oh, the symbol is an original Capcom thing.

 

[Spaghetti]

love every single time this thread is bumped. fantastic work.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Oh? Did you create the new one from scratch then or was their a much better source that you came across? Just curious

 

[Timu]

Last pic is so detailed!!!

 

[Barrow Roll]

The PC port has updated textures which are a mix of new art and upscaled/filtered textures, but also lets you select the original GCN textures which is what you're seeing here. crisdecuba specifically stated earlier that all comparisons are with the original GCN textures.

 

[Le_Samourai]

Amazing job so far, you guys are the only reason I'm going to buy the game again, and of course I'm going to send you guys a donation.

 

[disap.ed]

Just donated 10 bucks, this looks just too good.

 

[Nemmy]

The Chimera looks bloody spectacular! It's one of the parts of the game where low resolution textures always bothered me the most, what you guys did with it is a dream come true.
Though I'd say it wouldn't hurt to make the seams between the parts a bit more visible, as right now it looks a bit as if they were welded together before being inserted into the door.

 

[OrlanisWorks]

Just wanted to pop in and say that stuff is fantastic. FANTASTIC, I SAY!

Keep up the good work! :3

 

[finley83]

I love how clean and sharp everything looks. Great work!

 

[Dragon1893]

Bloody hell...

 

[Nibel]

Ridiculous.

Shaping up to become the most impressive HD-texture mod I've ever seen.

 

[Shredderi]

Majestic. Always happy to see this thread on the first page, knowing that there is propably some new pics.

 

[crisdecuba]

Assuming we're talking about the Y-ish shaped symbol, the art book that came with the UHD version has higher res versions of it which can be adapted.

 

[Klyka]

Is this still being worked on?

 

[Steamlord]

Two days ago, twenty posts up:

New update, focusing on the Chimera scene where you have to assemble the three pieces. Still tweaking the coloring. Enjoy!

 

[Dick Justice]

Are character textures last on the list? I remember seeing some one mod for the old port that gave leon ultra high quality hair with strands and stuff. Dunno if it's still floating about.

Yes. Each day, every day.

From our new progress summary page:
------------------------------------------------------------
We are working through the game in the following order:

– Environmental Textures
– Items and Weapons
– Enemies, NPCs, Playable Characters, Misc.
– Mercenaries, Separate Ways, and anything not covered above
------------------------------------------------------------
We've added a page where we summarize our progress. Some areas are more complex than others, so giving an exact time estimate is difficult, but at least you can see what we’re working on and what we’ve completed:

Oh nice, I think I'll keep that page bookmarked!

Some comparison shots from Albert's work! More shots at the site (re4hd.com)

The castle benefits the most from finding the original source photography, as you might have guessed.

 

[Parsnip]

God damn.

 

[Alo81]

HA!

That's so crazy. It's SO MUCH better! Stellar stuff.

Quick question, I remember that in the past you guys added some actual depth to the chain link's model, do you all plan to do it for stuff like this as well?

 

[Anteater]

textures actually add a whole lot of depth to the environments

 

[robgrab]

Simply amazing work.

 

[Polioliolio]

How do you guys even do this..

Just insane.

 

[Schlomo]

The last one needs to be a little darker/dirtier to match the original, but apart from that incredible work once again!

 

[Shredderi]

Ridiculously good.

 

[MartyStu]

You guys are doing the lord's work.

Any way to donate to this?

My only hesitation with a project like this is that, in the process of bringing higher def textures to RE4, some of the grime and dirt that we assume is part of the original low res textures will be lost in the process, making it look something like RE5 in how antiseptic it will feel.

Hope you check it out in the end (or through downloading the Village section) and see how we've done!
