Hello everybody!
These last weeks I’ve been working on 8 rooms at the same time! Today I’m showing you just 2 of them. Rooms 211 and 212. I’m proud of the results and the amount of textures I was able to find. 🙂 This and the visual wealth of this area make this portion of the game a critical point in terms of texture restoration.

You guys are doing a flawless job, keep up with the good work, cheers 😀
Absolutely stunning! It’s really amazing to see how your progress is coming, and how your skills have improved.
You never seize to impress me, Albert!
The door that Capcom took from the prophets mosque looks great, but I really suggest changing the pattern behind the Los Illuminados symbol, because it says “Mohammed”, and if you know that, it’s very distracting. This is probably something Capcom overlooked when taking the texture from Google. The door itself looks great though, but the words behind the symbol… yeah.
This might be the only time you hear me suggesting a departure from the source reference, but I think you can understand my reasoning.
Also, did you find the original chair texture now, haha? 🙂
Guess were I find it ;P
cha cha channnn… REmaster! The room with the bird cage and the stairs is rendered in real time. Just 2 or 3 rooms are 3D in the game… I think. And the chair texture was pretty good. But I’m not sure if it’s good enough. The other textures of REmaster are really low resolution.
It certainly looks much better than the old gamecube texture, but maybe you could filter it a little bit.
Yeah I did noticed the chair texture, also gloves and boots textures are exactly the same.
Maybe it’s possible to port not only textures but also normal maps from them
RE4 only supports bumpmapping I’m afraid… :/
albert
please
please
please
change this door of the mosque please change the door
or at least remove the circle that contain the name Mohammad
I am Muslim and i feel sick when I see the door like that
you said in the FAQ ( the whole point of this project – for everyone to enjoy as good-looking a version of the game as possible)
if you really means this change the door
the Name Mohamed is sacred
it is forbidden for Muslims touch the name Mohammad without Ablution (wash our hands and our face in certain way)
that door is the door of distinctive mosque the prophet Mohammed build it and contains his grave.
Oh I learned a little about that and you are completely right. The picture is from المسجد النبوي a place were only Muslim people have access, and a really sacred place I see… Am I right? If that’s the case I have no problem in changing the door central detail to something similar. Besides, there’s no point this text is inside this castle.
I will talk to Cris about this but I guess there’s no problem.
It would be great if someone could redesign for us that circular pattern with “Iluminados” o “Salazar family” words in arabian. It would be really cool 🙂
A sketch and the words used in plain arabian text would be enough for us!
I hope everyone take this as case of respect, not censorship 😉
yes you are right
Unfortunately I am not a designer
you can remove the circle and put rhomboid shapes then put Slogan on it
but it will be a lot better change the door
thank you.
I edited the central part. I hope it’s enough 🙂 Let me know if the name is still recognizable
It makes complete sense to revise the texture to remove the name of the prophet Mohammad from the door. I totally understand that request and I can imagine that it would be disturbing to see the name of the prophet Mohammad placed behind a video game symbol. We will change this.
I think the right decision here is to remove the name, but to keep the artistic design of the door. In this way we strike the right balance between respecting each other and maintaining the original aesthetic of the game. I hope this is a reasonable conclusion. Thank you very much for letting us know of the concern!
Salazar in arabic is:
سالازار
I can imagine writing thuluth script is very hard, but it’s possible. There are tutorials on the Internet. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Jazeera#mediaviewer/File:Al_jazeera_Calligraphy_Animation.gif
los iluminados/the enlightened is
مثقف
Thank you! Maybe something will be possible. 🙂
Which door are you talking about?
This one:

[Comment removed. It lashed out against another poster based on their religion.]
i propose that you mirror one side of the circle so that’s is unlegible, like the paintings
the left half would do it IMO
Hi! That’s precisely what I did haha
Maybe you need to refresh your browser because the filemane of that jpg is the same 😉

Isn’t the carpet in picture#1 in RE4? I think it is.
The carpet and the wall paper, the door, one of the paintings and its frame XD
Lots of Remake rooms share textures with RE4 and DMC
Omg, think you’ll be able to harvest much from REmaster?
Nothing at all XD
All stages are prerendered. Only 2 rooms are rendered in realtime and unfortunatelly their textures are not much better than RE4 textures. Only that chair was usable :/
Looking real professional guys…keep up the great work. Can’t wait for the final build.
is it within your scope to replacing the in-game gun models and textures with the higher ploy and resolutiom models from when you inspect the items on the pause menu?
Surely we will update the weapon textures (using “check item” textures or even better re-creations). About the models, I don’t know if it’s possible do it in this port (I guess it is possible) but if it’s easy to accomplish I have no problem giving a try 😉
Just hope it doesn’t crash when replacing inventory items.
THOSE ARCHES!!!!!! Wow!!!
I can’t wait till play…….good job!!!!!!!
First, your work is awesome, cant wait until its finished.
Did you guys ever tried to put a polish effect on your graphics or is it impossible or looks like crap ?
Thank you Daniel!
Do you mean specular effect? If that’s the case: We can add specular effect to whatever we want but the results in this game are not very natural because of its old graphic engine.
This and the the time needed to implement that effect into the 3d models are the reason of adding specular effect just in very few models.
Thanks for your quick answer. 🙂
I dont know, but i think the specular effect is mirroring things, but i just mean a shiny look, like nintendo does it with Mario Kart 8 and the new Mario games for example… I hope you know what I mean.
Hummm maybe we are talking abouit different things XD
here you’ll notice we add specular effect (+bumpmap) to the door:

As you can see, the effect is only noticeable when you look at the door at a specific angle. That’s the kind of effect we are adding here and there 😉
Ya, some kind of that, in the Nintendo games its just look thicker and more visible.
Hey Chris & Albert! All my fattest props to you guys for your absolutely stunning work!
Can’t wait! Can’t wait! Can’t wait! Can’t wait! Can’t wait! Can’t wait! Can’t wait! Can’t wait!
Here’s a bit of a question: Will I be able to use your mod with the boxed version of ResiEvil 4 HD (PC)? ??
You know why I’m asking? I’m from Germany and I won’t be able to activate the uncut Version of RE4 over Steam, cause my country sucks big time when we talk about blood in videogames. We will always get the cut version (without the mercenaries). So it would be cool for us Germans, if you could make it work with the boxed version as well! Thanxs heaps!
Hello Maik! and thanks!
I had no chance taking a look into the boxed version folder structure yet.
Could you please provide us with a screenshot showing folders and files inside game’s directory?
I guess it’s the same but who knows…
Did you try our demo or village pack? 🙂
Hi Albert! Greets to Spain! I would love to send you screens, but can’t right now, as I don’t own the game yet. I played it on PS3 so many times- dude, you have no idea. But I will prop. buy it next month and then I can send you some pics- or maybe someone (who owns the boxed version) is reading this and could send you some screens instantly!?
Anyhow, I did not check the village section yet, cause I want to play it in a row! How far is your progress, Albert? 80%!? Shit man, anticipation sucks!
No problem! If someone else could provide us with those screenshots in the meantime…
We are still far of completion. But here’s the chart showing our progress so far:

😉
I really hope you enjoy our regular updates and all the long journey this project entails. And thank you for your patience! (yours and everyone else of course!)
Thanks man! I really do! Feels like Mini Me waiting for Christmas… I will regulary check in here and let you know when I own the box. Hang in there and greetings to Chris!
