Menus and Explosions! (While We Are Preparing the BIG Post)

Hallelujah! … I finally had some time to share something πŸ˜›

I’ve been polishing tons and tons of small (and not so small) details these past few weeks, so the project continues at its usual rate. The only difference is that all the edits we are doing now are not as visually outstanding as previous ones. This is the main reason that the time from post to post is longer now.

This week I’ll show you a few re-created menu background images, an alternate opening sequence, and improved explosion effects.

Do you remember the original Gamecube Capcom logo opening sequence? I’ve missed that gloomy sky so much! Here’s the original Gamecube image:

But I don’t miss it anymore because I found the original texture and ported that sequence back in! πŸ™‚  (See the image gallery below.)

Also, I’ve re-rendered the 360ΒΊ panorama of the Village that you can see on the Main menu when you beat the game. This is the original:

I think I nailed the camera angle pretty well! It was easier than I thought. The more complicated task was to match the colours, shadows, fog and sky… You can see the complete image in the video and a portion of it in the gallery.

In addition, the Movie Browser menu has been remastered, too! 

Finally, take a look also at the new flame grenade explosions  in the picture and video. Now the fire casts light as it should! 

 

And that’s all for now… Please, stay tuned for the next post!! πŸ˜‰
