I made some edits to a background in the RPD hall
Hi! I made some edits on top of a screenshot of the entrace inside the main hall of the RPD. I took some of the finer detail from other camera angles and backgrounds and added it to this one, managing to recover the stone crest on the second floor, some of the texture of the walls, some finer detail on the gates and their stone threshold, like the honeycomb pattern on top of the main doors, and other minor edits. Here's a link to the image (I'm sorry, I don't know how to add the image to a post): https://i.imgur.com/PykEIJy.jpg
This technique could be employed to recover some of the details in the stained glass windows at the back, for instance, as well as other areas, but I only had the time to edit this background. I didn't know how to submit this to the team since there is no contact section other than this and the discord channel, so I opted for posting it here. I hope you guys find it usefull and like it.
Hi Lazarus-Martinez, Thank you for the proposition you're making ! This particular BG is part of the 1.1 update that is coming soon, albeit I didn't take the time to refine it as much as you did. I added the stone crest from the 2nd floor but that's it, I can clearly see the difference in the walls texture. It's subtle but really efficient.
I'll discuss the eventuality of releasing the source BG we're using so people don't have to work from screenshots. It seems to alter the colors too much and the resolution might be different from the source.
Anyways, kudos for your great work, don't hesitate to join us on Discord too if we need to discuss more easily :)
A 1.1 update! That's great news! I'm glad you liked what I did, I hope you can still make use of it despite the difference in color palette. And, yes, it would be amazing to have the source BGs to work directly on them. I was having so many ideas, like using the radio control background from RE3 to add detail to those in the STARS office, adding the JoJo nametag to the locker in Marvin's office... Also, I have the feeling that they are slightly zoomed in while ingame. I was comparing the image to the same background in the pc version of RE3 and there was a bit more of background around the edges
You definitely want to wait for the 1.1 update since what you mentioned has been covered, but you may very well do better than me because I'm not a pro 😄 The BG aren't zoomed but shifted, I mentioned it once, I think it's something like 14 pixels to the right and 4 pixel to the top IIRC. RE3 doesn't have this problem.
Thank you @Lazarus-Martinez Restoring Eye catchy details really helps to sell the whole upscale technique so your help is appreciated. 👍 I'm sorry to hear that you had to work with screenshots. There is a lossless png pack available on Discord if you just want (in the #update-links channel).
Do you have a lossless PNG version of your edit too? That might be better to work with for @Kayael76. 😃
I will try and get that PNG version, I have my edits on a separate layer and it wouldn't be that much trouble to apply those to the original background. :)
Actually forget that, @Kayael76 reminded me that the backgrounds are cut in 3 parts. I don't know how I forgot about that. :)
What you will need is the source upscale. I will let @Kayael76 follow up with you on that since he is the one making the edits on the backgrounds.
I'll release sometime this weekend the source upscales so you won't have to worry about sorting through the PNG pack, it's a mess. I'll eventually open a channel on Discord too so people can submit their work here, and discuss about the integration in the official pack. It would be easier to manage this way.
In regards to uploading the unsplicced backgrounds and creating a section in discord, that would be awesome! I put the PNG pieces together and applied my layer (plus a couple more, very minimal touchups) and uploaded it in png format here: EDIT. I uploaded it to mega because imgur keeps reconverting the file to jpeg, here's the link: https://mega.nz/#!V1lx3aYJ!68F6JmjJutIkg8J8dqFvfgcKES8JGBJifSZ9FKtQ3ak
Hope you like it! I might edit more backgrounds later on ;)
Alright I created the channel on Discord with the download link for RE2 : https://drive.google.com/open?id=1JDz1Q7EIQrywWU3avwZ4OO28aOTQtkcU
Don't hesitate to join us there :)
