that's incredible work.. something i don't think many had not thought of at all..

to me tho it feels like it would be nice if maybe someone looked into a filter of some sort or a fix of some sort to make an emulator render the whole image in cell-shaded format.. because that i know of it's very possible to do using DirectX..

then maybe you wouldn't have to redo all the textures.. and also you would get alot more acurate cell-shaded shadows etc..

very cool +++
It would be cool to redo whole games this way with a script (click and select, and batch process, 2x and cartoon effect).

Weatherton

March 22nd, 2005, 07:25

I think you're not giving Kid A enough credit, I doubt the quality he's producing could be realized with just a script!

LOVE that stone wall texture (2nd/3rd screenshot). Good job, you're developing a nice sense of style!

Weatherton

March 31st, 2005, 17:45

I agree with clouscapes, that stone wall texture is unbelievable!!! I love how this is turning out!

The ice wall texture in shot4 has doesn't tile well though... I don't think I like the cracks on the thwomp... also, in shot 1, does the splash's outline still have to be blocky?

V-King

March 31st, 2005, 19:16

I don't think I like the cracks on the thwomp...
That's what I wanted to say too. I just couldn't find the right english words :P

I recommend that you do that Whomp texture again since it really doesn't look THAT good. ;)

Looking pretty good!! :happy:
The woods, bricks and rocks look amazing now!! :)
Yes, the walls in the snow stage need some improvements to prevent the tiling, but looking nice anyways! Keep it up! :)

I don't do 'reactionary' posts as a rule, but this looks fantastic! Can only cross my fingers and hope you'll see this through to the end. I know that's alot to hope for considering how much work must have gone into redoing just this much of the game, but hoping nonetheless. Now it sounds like I'm requesting something, I'm not. No pressure. I'll take whatever you decide to give. Great work!

Will you or have you cel shaded mario yet?

Knuckles

April 5th, 2005, 03:52

it won't be possible, the only parts where Mario is textured are the eyes and his "M". the rest of the model is simple color. unless you hack the model itself, you prolly won't see that, same for peach , lakitu and yoshi. Toad and Bowser might be possible tho.

Orkin

April 5th, 2005, 08:34

MuhMuh

April 5th, 2005, 14:01

Wow!!!!! :o
Is there a way to add it to directx64 or another plugin?
I would love to have this on my emulator.

Amon_Knives

April 5th, 2005, 14:14

That's makes Mario look a whole lot better, but I think it should stay out of Zelda. (*thinks of WW...throws up*)

mongo51983

April 5th, 2005, 14:50

All I have to say about the cel shaded Mario and Zelda is OMG!! That looks so sweet especially the Mario and Koopa Troopa, Link doesn't look too bad cel shaded either, I actually didn't mind the cel shading in Wind Waker. Orkin do you have the retexture pack for the cel shaded Mario and Link? Not to go off track from Mario cel shaded but I think WWF No Mercy cel shaded would be kind cool as well.

Orkin

April 5th, 2005, 16:26

Soon it'll show up as an option in the config window for Direct64, so you can try it out in any game you like.

Now I need to make it use Kid A's amazing texture pack, plus, it's missing silhouette edges...hmmm...

Rice

April 5th, 2005, 16:27

Orkin, wonderful job. I would love to know how to do it.

Orkin

April 5th, 2005, 16:35

I just took the per-pixel lighting I just implemented (see here (http://www.emutalk.net/showpost.php?p=266705&postcount=104)), and added the HLSL smoothstep() command to "step" the dot product before multiplying it by the light color.

xenSity

April 5th, 2005, 16:48

Looks like a cool effect that's worth exploring.
I'm sure adding contour lines would be possible, but would require true cel-shading code.
PS2.0 could probably do it, but I'm not an expert on that.
Some of the ATi Smartshader effects do similar things, which you can load through the new Control Center. The "sketch" effect comes to mind. I could be way off though.
They did allow people at one point to create and load custom pixel shader code, which was then applied to any D3D or OGL app like the preinstalled ones. The program is no longer supported, however. Oh well.

Keep up the good work. It's very encouraging.

Orkin

April 5th, 2005, 17:01

I'm thinking about doing it through a post-process effect described in a paper by ATI. It involves drawing normals and depth to a secondary render target, and then, after the entire scene has been drawn, run a pixel shader over it that looks for changes in normal and depth to tell where a line should be.

It's not the fastest method in the world, but the plugin doesn't have complete access to model information, so other methods aren't really practical....

xenSity

April 5th, 2005, 17:42

That does sound like a logical way to start. It's far beyond my level.
The existing sketch effects use edge detection in the PS code; The sobel algorithm.
It's probably not complicated enough to produce the desired effect for cel-shading.
I'm just a beginner (and probably sound like it), but I might try experimenting.
Good luck with your experiment too. I'm sure you'll produce some great results.

Can't wait to see how it looks in other games ( SSB, GE/PD :P )

Hi-rez and bumpmaping what a great idea. :bouncy:

Codexing

April 5th, 2005, 21:18

WoW!
Those cell shaded models look great!
I wouldn't mind having OoT in cell shading, I liked the art style in Wind Waker for a little change.
It'd be cool if you did as Miyamoto is currently planning the Zelda series to be. He said:
"In Wind Waker we wanted to make the world brighter so it would look as if it was seen through the eyes of a little boy (Link in this case). We decided the new Gamecube Zelda game should use more realistic graphics because this time it was adult Link who was in it."
So that would be...like having cell-shaded textures and models for young link, and realistic textures for adult link!!!

Ok, maybe it wasn't such a good idea... I suppose most of you will dislike the cell-shaded graphics, won't you?

LOL! You're right!
I didn't even notice that...
But maybe you should distribute those cracks a little better, they just look a little bit...unreal

kid a and orkin should release a combo graphic pack. This is really amazing stuff guys :D

GouldFish

April 6th, 2005, 17:40

I worked for a little while with Cel-shading, I made a version of Quake 2 that was cel shaded. I to had problems with the weighted lines around the models but I do just about remember the idea behind them. If I remember when working with the model you check for lines that that a front facing polygon and a back facing polygon, if so draw a line.

Kolano

April 6th, 2005, 17:59

kid a and orkin should release a combo graphic pack. This is really amazing stuff guys :D

Kid A is cell shading through changing textures
Orkin is cell shading by using a pixel-shader in his plugin

You'll need to wait till Orkin releases an update to his plugin that supports texture replacement before you could combine things.

HostileEagle

April 6th, 2005, 18:23

Excellent work Kid A, looking forward. And Orkin, that shit looks badass! Now on a side note....
You'll need to wait till Orkin releases an update to his plugin that supports texture replacement before you could combine things.That's one possibility. Interesting exchange a page back...Orkin, wonderful job. I would love to know how to do it.To which Orkin so generously replied...I just took the per-pixel lighting I just implemented (see here), and added the HLSL smoothstep() command to "step" the dot product before multiplying it by the light color.So, in keeping with the popular trend of this thread I'll just say... hmmm.

Orkin

April 6th, 2005, 20:47

Not quite complete, but...hmmm...

Oh and BTW, I'll post any further progress in this area in the Direct64 thread to reduce confusion, and help stay on topic...

Codexing

April 6th, 2005, 20:56

WHOA!!!
That looks so AWESOME!
Congratulations Orkin! I'm really looking forward to try your new plugin. If you could combine A kid's textures and your cell shaded characters, this could become the best hi-res texture project (altought it's much farther from being just a hi-res project now :P )
But some parts of mario and other objects just look a bit too...crowded with outlines.
Still...
Keep it up!

Gladiac0190

April 6th, 2005, 22:20

cool, simply cool... I remember the times where n64-emulation seemed to be impossible... You guys are great - you got it sooo far. all the world says, that n64-scene stands nearly still... /me is happy that it is not so :D
hires is definitely the coolest feature i can think of. The newest mario-shots with the celshade-pixbuf-stuff are really horny stuff :D. little less boarders dependent on the object's size would make it look more accurate. you all do a great job, keep it up! i regret being too lazy to play around with gimp...

I wonder if it would be possible to make a loader for audiofiles into audioplugins like schibo's or azimer's... Sound-plugs' dev seem a bit too inactive, but wouldn't it be great? Playing Mario64 celshading-style and having a different bgm. Everybody knows the original sfx faaar to well... :D. Just a sick idea...

:plain:
http://www.emutalk.net/high-resolution-textures-projects/29577-help-thread-djipis-also-federellis-packs.html

First you need Rice's video plugin that can be found HERE (beta 10 & BMGlib)

If you are using project64 or 1964 emus then you need to make a folder in the main emu folders, plugin folder (now i see why someone hasn't explained this lol) called hires_texture and in that one, another called, The Legend of Zelda.

IE:

C:\Program Files\Project64 1.6\Plugin\hires_texture\The Legend of Zelda

For world textures like the early release of Kokiri Forest u need to add the Kokiri Forest folder to a folder in the legend of Zelda folder named WORLD TEXTURES

IE:

C:\Program Files\Project64 1.6\Plugin\hires_texture\The Legend of Zelda\World Textures\Kokiri Forest

Also in this folder you can place other locations like Fire Temple and Hyrule Castle.....

HUD textures go in a folder in the main, "The Legend of Zelda" folder called HUD

IE

C:\Program Files\Project64 1.6\Plugin\hires_texture\The Legend of Zelda\HUD

This is talking about Zelda, but other games will work too.

I hate it when people ask that question....I know, it´s been a month, but you got to remember that they have a life outside this project, so you can´t ecpect them to upload everyday, or once a week. Look at pj64, it took 2 1/2 year before 1.6 was finished. You just have to be patient. It si NOT dead until they say it´s dead.

I am currently using the textures and wanted to know if there is a download that makes Mario himself cel shaded.

If so how
Short answer: not currently and probably not ever

How come in the previous screenshots Mario and Koopa are cel shaded? So there is no cell shaded mario in the texture pack currect?

ok here is the Long Answer:

There was a member on these forums called Orkin, who was working on a special plugin which made cel-shading possible on the N64 emulator.

Since around November December, last year, he has practically vanished and so we all now asume his project is dead and done with.

Its a real shame, but that is the way of things. He didnt make his source code public so there is no real chance of someone else working on it...
