HD Textures Chao body v2.4

Post by DarkyBenji »

Hi :surprise:

so the game is on HD, OK ! but some textures are not on HD (maybe many textures :darkwalkback: )

So for the players play SA2 PC on chao garden, i remake the textures of chao (from al_body)
maybe i will do that for SADX too :3

READ THAT :
-I have Ambient occlusion ! the "better shadow" effect you can enable only on Nvidia ! so you will not get the better shadow by downloading the HD textures :darkwalkback:


and some Screen (v2) :
I used two-tone White color ! and al_icon HD is not used in those screenshot !
Spoiler:
Chao :
Some Chao you can't see a big different
ImageImageImageImageImage
Image

Hero :
There a problems about hero texture, the hero neutral, swim, fly, run, and power change colors during the evolution (2nd evolution) if i change, the colors will be lost.. :/
so i JUST ONLY REMAKE THE CHAOS CHAO HERO

Image

Dark :
Not problems !
ImageImageImageImageImage
Image

Hack Chao :
ImageImageImage

HAT :
Image

Other screen (light texture, medal, jewel, ect...):
here some screen of the new light color chao in HD (and it's here you can see HD mouth and eyes)
ImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImage
Version of al_body :
1.0 : First release
1.5 : - Beta HD for light chaos chao (that mean you can't see a big difference)
- HD Dark chaos added
- HD Hero CHaos added
- HD Light color effect
- 1 chao swim texture Updated
- remove HD wings for hero fly because the wings don't get Blue/purple on Hero/fly/stamina (2nd evolution)

2.0 : - Some texure chao texture is updated/more colored
- Chaos chao have now texture HD
- Mouth and eye use now Sonic generation Texture style

2.1 : - al_icon is now on HD
- a special al_body is added (black chao texture)
- another special al_body is added (hd hero chao texture)
- al_eye HD is updated


2.4 : from the pack Chao world extended
- remade some chao texture
- remade HD eye
- remade HD medal
- update hat
- new HD toys


Download :
ALL (body, icon, eye, mouth, medal, ect...) (2.4) : http://www.mediafire.com/download/qx6md ... e_v2.4.zip

OLD AL_Mouth HD : http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?dcxg7mtmfqt57mr
OLD Al_Mouth HD Alt : http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?38uuhf0dyuaydj9

About Al Mouth Alt version here the screen :
Spoiler:
he use the mouths from the dreamcast (replace the some mouths)
http://prntscr.com/uhpxp for thoothy smile :)
http://prntscr.com/uhq3k for Squiggly (lol) :3

Hey I love your textures! Could you release the star ball but for hero chao? And how did you get your chao's features to be so large?

That looks pretty neat. Bascially you're just upscaling them to make them less blurry when the game loads them? Cool :3

I wonder where you find all the texture files?

I figured it out. Fusions chao editor allows you to max out the growth.

Also, what program did you use to edit the textures?

You know, if you look at this...
We could go and search for chaps that can remake all the Chao textures in HD (or maybe even the whole game! :o), stick it all together and release SA2HD HD, which isn't just HD resolution but also HD textures...

But that probably isn't gonna happen anytime soon.

What exactly does the download file do? I don't see a difference anywhere.

EDIT: Also, your games looks alot more shaded than mine. Like how the chao and tails look like they have alot more depth and shading. Is it a hack?

It's ambient occlusion ! :chaohappy:
you need a Nvidia card + nvidiaInspector for enabled it

btw, are you sure you installed my al_body.prs correctly ?

Is there a way to get a similar effect of ambient occlusion that works with other graphics cards? Also, I got the texture file working! :D

This is awesome, I look forward to seeing more.

Successfully installed the hd chao thing, now i just wanna pick up a chao and cuddle it twice as much! ♥
edit: also on regards to the Nvidia card thing, my dad says that it looks nice but the card starts to get hot really fast and that you have to have a big fan on to keep it cool. He describes it as "being next to a jet plane engine (though he's probably exadurating.)" How much noise does your computer make?

^Sounds likes its time to upgrade to a liquid cooling system. They are expensive, but ultimately more efficient and much quieter.

More to the topic, I was wondering, are you merely applying an upscaling filter to the textures or are you actually redrawing them?

Wait... Shouldn't this be in Artwork and Movies?

I'm not sure as it's both art and hacking. Maybe it's fine as is.
