Yeah looks like latex
flat bolt
Yeah, I probably need to improve in photoshop manually
flat bolt
Looks weird or looks good?
Without reshade
Not sure if this crap blends well
New bricks as well, well, AI improved ones of the ones I had
Probably I will do another in .dds with mip maps to looks less sharp

Looks weird or looks good?
Some of the details are very distinct so the tiling is super noticeable, but unfortunately not much you can do about it
flat bolt
Yeah, I'm fine tunning it or I will totally get rid of it to get a better tiling, I have some textures in my folder that could be good candidates
flat bolt
Well...
Looks better than the previous one
But as any texture here, will behave like a shit
Probably I will have to tweak more
Maybe if I darken a bit will blend better
flat bolt
I darkened a bit
Looks a bit more real, unfortunatelly the tiling still weird, but less weird than the previous one
That part still weird, but is the geometry, I can't do much shit about, it
Probably I will release the current build here before Delta gets out, not sure about a Nexus release, honestly sometimes I question myself why I'm keeping back in this
flat bolt
Huh...
Almost there, is a matter of adjusting the bright
Blends a bit better with the terrain too
Prob this
flat bolt
Looks better
I did some "color balancing" in the floor
But looks it loose a bit of life
Cool, I adjusted some bits, now is good with blending and life
flat bolt
Adjusted the blending
flat bolt
I erased some details too look less AI

Did this ever get released as a mod?

Seems OP is afk but it's AI upscaling with a lot of manual adjustment and some original textures

Just the last textures, the HUGE ammount of what I did was totally using photoshop

What AI you're using there?
he just uses chatGPT to recreate enviorment textures, the more I compare it with base textures the worse it looks imo

Using the right prompt and doing some treatment after with photoshop could be usefull I guess
graceful moth
While it is useful I think you can adhere better to the artstyle with upscaling and actually remaking textures, like you've been doing
As a human, you know what MGS3 looks like
tranquil robin
any textures that are problematic?
flat bolt
I found a place with pretty good textures, could be usefull, not only for MGS3 but for any other modding projects

how many textures do you have done now
flat bolt
A fuckload
tranquil robin
the ground textures are prob the biggest problem tbh
ive hand painted some textures so far
working on hand painting the rasvet brick wall because it is such a unique texture that every other texture ive tried looks ugly in comparison
i have also fixed some textures which looked wrong, ive painted most of the characters hair or started to, just need to finish them. ive repainted most of the paintings in the game, made the posters look more distressed
if i wasnt so pedantic i could prob have a version out in 2 weeks but im constantly going back tand changing things 😩 😅
fixed these boxes
started this yesterday
some of the paintings iv started redoing
i have maybe 70%-ish of the game done in terms of attempts at a texture
im just going back over and re-doing ones i dont like

Wait isn’t that the MGO map?
Or an early mgs4 building
tranquil robin
Or an early mgs4 building
no because it is in the ps2 version
tranquil robin
Wait isn’t that the MGO map?
i might have to check for that actually, i haven't before
would be a better representation if it is an mgo map
tranquil robin
its isnt an mgo map

It looks a lot like the building where Snake met with the MKII
graceful moth
It definitely looks like 2005 build MGS4
Might be worth checking if that picture is the same in Snake Eater. It could have been changed for Subsistence
tranquil robin
i do think all the paintings are either from games or done by hiro usuda
i asked hiro why she used her art in the game and she said that it was partly to avoid copyright issues
but i have drawn a blank on most of the framed art, they are just too deterioratated to tell
some are historical photos, but where they got them from, have no idea so ive just resorted to replicating and interprating the pixelated forms rather then go on a goose chase
tranquil robin
has anyone used the pinned texture pack here?

its the same image.
graceful moth
Ah okay, that eliminates MGS4 as a source then
tranquil robin
heres a good site for textures. it has a collection of cd-roms from the last 30 years
an overwhelming amount of textures
tranquil robin
found another texture cd that mgs3 uses
from a 3dsmax cd
a small image tbf but still a good find
flat bolt
Looks incredibly good dude

I do the same, usually I get back in my stuff over and over, problem is, I can't finish any personnal modding project xD
In my work I can because deadlines and stuff, but with things I do for myself, pff, I get back thousand times

https://x.com/Wario64/status/1928130468840411423 well does that mean we at least can get a direct Game Informer magazines scan?
X
tranquil robin
i think only one magazine is a game informer one and it isnt an official cover, prob edited in-house
anyway all magazines are scanned and done
sharp galleon
Is this project ongoing? 🥲
sharp galleon
Ohh okay :/ this is a great project, I would wish more people were interested on it
flat bolt
Yeah, doing this alone is pretty boring

I was working on some custom textures for Snake for months but I want to learn to do better textures modified
fair barn
Hell yes. Literally the ugliest texture in the game
flat bolt
Not sure if will work but
HOLY FUCK IT WORKED
OBVIOUSLY need a fuckaton of adjustments
If anyone wants it
I will do more tomorrow because (yes shame on me) I used help of chat GPT
But fuck it, I do in daily basis in my work (while I still have it)
flat bolt
Need to do a .dds version of this
flat bolt
V2 of poison frog, also I need to do a .dds with this
flat bolt
Was a lazy work that

Espero pronto actualizaciónes en el MSG 3.
flat bolt
Not sure if I will do it sooner, with Delta this is pointless
tranquil robin
im still working on this for preservation purposes btw. i havent been posting updates and wont post updates till its done (its about 90% done just minor details left)
im also doing mgs2 as well so similar stance
flat bolt
@tranquil robin if you want, I can send my project, maybe is something usefull for ya
One thing I know, some textures of the project, like signage I will port into delta because signage in Delta is shit
tranquil robin
nah its fine, i think we have almost everything covered
gaunt tangle
well with the new MGS3 update...
Doesn't it include AI upscale textures?
Yup
Honestly they're not really that good
warped egret
well tbh I don't know if that's AI or hand made
gaunt tangle
well tbh I don't know if that's AI or hand made
%100 ai upscaled
Remember AI upscaling is different than AI image generation
Once AI dies it will be the only AI remaining

Some look good, some look terrible
Honestly that tweet is a great example of the two ends of how the textures look, haha
