So I wrestled with the waterfall sprite for about 5 hours, boy what a nightmare that was, but finally got something worth using. Crushed a whole bunch of little textures here there, and did one last scan of Adia. I have less than 30 textures to go, small crap like books, maps, undersides of bridges, rare interior walls, a bed, a pillow, one or two random wood pieces, and the teleporters of Adia to get close to being done.

I have been wasting way too much time fooling around with sprites, water, waterfalls, and animations... 150+ down 2,350 to go....

Hopefully by Tuesday or Wednesday I can have some new pics and maybe a video to look at of a next to complete retexture of Adia, minus seams, color correction, and subtle shading to certain textures... Thank GOD River of Souls shares about 1/4 of Adias textures...

Thank you all, I said it before, its hard, its no pay, but its all love.

Regarding how its coming together, last night I was in full 4096x2140 4k last night, in the first gilded pool area in Adia, with water fall switch key, and I was really feeling immersed in what I was seeing. I was actually questioning "is this T2?" holy crap... For anyone who wears corrective lenses knows the difference between seeing an object with and without them being on. Its like the haze of the 90's textures was cleansed, and left crystal clarity and that "new texture" smell.

So, that gilded pool area is nearly done, going to track down the <15 textures in Adia I have left to do, finish the teleporter, and either do Turok or the first Oblivion map. Then Port of Adia / Weapons / Enemies within that level will be available for release.

Special Thanks to Duke64 for the thoughtfulness, and generosity to the Turok modding community, and enabling us to create and share so easily. This is the first time I am actually saying this without sarcasm...

"YOU ARE A PILLAR OF THE COMMUNITY"

Thank you Dojo.

Did some gilded pool and queen tex this morning. This queen mantid is going to take a while just like Thunder from T1, she has something like 20 textures and alot of unique shapes.

Thanks for the encouraging words!

Working on razorwind, Adons skybox(battling the KEX engine color tweaks, its making my texture far too bright), touching up some textures like Raptoid head, shotty. Might start changing some boss textures to see how they look...

Hey Dino, is this what you mean?

If so that just another example of how they took some short cuts when making some of these textures. Who ever did this originally is the "Painted a Erect Penis into the Little Mermaid Cover" to me, since I am getting very familiar with them and how they wrap on the model themselves. I could look into pushing and pulling some things around eventually to make it less obvious.

The pistol model for pickup is ridiculous, which can also been seen in the link. I could probably go and change the related material files, but that is just another distraction from the retexture work, which is going to be awhile.


It would be great if I had a list of all related tex .png names and the levels they are used in( I know they are located in the material files). Would save me so much tex hunting through 3,000+ images...
