Have to fix right side. I'v added ears on the texture of the left side already.
Otherwise, 51 polys, as the original. Way too low for decent result, but that will do for a start.

Nice work. His original head was extremely blocky. Your updated version looks less so, which goes to show how well good quality images can do for the models. Now his suit almost feels lacking, due to the contrast.

[AL64inthedark]

Thanks. Yeah true, I though about the costume too. I'd like to create suits but with my skill I could only come up with something good if I can took the photos myself. My few attempts didn't bring me some on the internet (back and front).

It's like with my first attempt at Xenia, since it was her inside the Casino, it doesn't fit well with the combat clothes she wears :


Please note : everything beta

the best way to do cleavage is to use vertex colouring or UV's

The original xenia chest was quite blury compared to what we have done in Goldfinger64.

Personally I think you're managing to do so much with so little! How do we feel about mapping the textures differently to get higher resolutions? I always found the front/left/right approach wasteful.

For heads its the only way to do it.
The all-in-one would be worse since 32x64x8 is already max TMEM (Remember in CI mode, Lower TMEM is image(s), Upper TMEM is TLUT, and in 8bit mode, 256*16*4 = 2kb (though Lower and upper are fixed at 2kb each regardless))

Its easier to mirror heads, however real people don't have symmetry so that doesn't always work.

When I do heads I have, as posted before, a single image, I map UV's to it, then pull the face to a box, then screenshot each side of the box, then re-apply those new images back to original head shape. This method maximises texture usage to 99%.
(to be honest, I forgot to stretch the first image with Kish, so the second stretch makes his mouth look funny, same with CIA guy, but felix and scaramanga turned out great)

For bodies, If I were to go about updating them, Id probably use the PD method, 4bit + left/right.

I thought about multitexture a head, with something like 4(32x32x8) just for the face, but it would be very thougt to do. If I could mod the face in Mario's 64 intro, I'll give a try for a realistic head multitextures. But doing it one Perfect Dark, then it will stand too much anyway from the rest.

I did quite some work these days, but didn't finished most of the things I'm working on.

One of the recent stuff :

Working on updating some Goldeneye bodies. The resolution is 6 times higher than the original. It's made with 6x(48x32x8CI), plus a 32x32x8CI.

Are any of you guys working on a hack that improves a lot of textures or something? That would be cool. I figured the original hardware and game could handle a bit more detail =)

It would require lot of time but the hardest part would be to produce something with the same style as Rare did, and I don't think any of us can do that at the moment.

I'm not sure if that's an actor or a person you know, but it looks above and beyond anything in PD. Quality work.

[AL64inthedark]

Thanks Wreck. I found the photos at 3D.sk (it's a web adress, really). It's a website with ressources for 3D artists. The photos for this guy are great, they're perfect for that.
Taking photos outside when it's cloudy is the best moment to do so.
If I could, I would work only with such king of reference. Because even then, it still was lots of work.
