Looks very good. How far is it from completion? Will you edit all environment textures, including trees and leafs?

Difficult to say when the mod will be ready. Now I almost finished work with Los Santos. And still remain: San Fierro, Las Venturas, countryside and desert region... Also all interiors. But the following cities not so technically hard (number of sections far below).

 

I plan to replace the texture of the all trees. But so far, I only recycle plants like agaves and bushes (because they are in TXD-files with textures of the streets and buildings).

The Textures are HD..can you tell me which IMG Tool you using..

 

sometimes when you putt HD Textures in txd file--yoi have some bugs in game...lol

[erorcun]

Shame, there isn't bump maps support in SA.

Yes, SA not support bump-mapping, but support a kind of optimization named MIP-mapping. Think you made ​​a mistake in terms.

I use Alci's IMG Editor for adding\replacing files in IMG-files. And... I thought, and I decided that I use the textures that you found (three original textures from GTA SA). They are useful to me. Thank you again.

LAw. Part 12

 

The last set of screenshots from section LAw, Los Santos. Next section (on which I working already) - LAwn.

Thank you.

[Flame]

I have one technical problem, maybe someone can help me - please, see this thread.

[Flame]

I working on next section of Los Santos - LAwn. It includes not only ordinary buildings, but some interesting places like Jim's Sticky Ring (cafe with donuts, which likes Tenpenny and Pulaski), hospital, cemetery etc.

 

 

 

 

LAwn. Part 1:

Jim's Sticky Ring

 

It's time to present one of the features of mod: besides replacement of textures, some models also will be improved. This is the first mod devoted to improving graphics in GTA San Andreas with this feature.

 

For first, I was a little improved building of the cafe - donut is round now, also added reflection.

 

 

 

 

The same screenshots at imgbox

 

 

Unfortunately, I could not figure out how to combine correct reflection and prelight, because of this I don't use prelight for this model (but at night the building still looks not bad), if someone can help me, see this thread.

Uh, why should you spend so much time on 3D reflection when you can use Photoshop to make reflection to donut texture, chrome, metal effects; works day and night.

 

At least for me it works all the time.

[Flame]

Yes, I often do that. But when the reflection is "drawn" on the texture, it does not change depending on the player's location. Reflection on the model looks more beautiful, it was interesting to use it.

[Triple Penetration]

Haha, I like the donut shop now. Good job.

 

Tho the hole ain't as wide as yo momma's.

???

[Death2Drugs]

???

Just another stupid "your mom" joke. Personally I don't find them funny.

 

On Topic: I'm glad you're doing mesh-smoothing! Are you planning to do the hills and perhaps the desert formations? They look ugly as hell.

Clear. In Eastern European countries such jokes are seen as a very personal and very literally, and can even serve as a reason for conflict.

 

But back to the modification. Yes, I plan do this for some hills in the desert. I think it would look cool. But I hardly do it for the similar areas in the cities (Los Santos hills for example).

[Flame]

Managed to make it so that donut now looks not so bright at night. Thanks to Mark01 for his help.

 

Tomorrow I will post a new screenshots.

LAwn. Part 2:

All Saints General Hospital

 

Today I post new screenshots of HRT which shows All Saints General Hospital, Los Santos. I continue to not only change the texture, but also to work with models. When I put the new textures, I was surprised that they do not look the way I thought. I did not like very small windows of a standard hospital. Therefore texture imposed by me completely from scratch, also added a reflection on the glass (reflection is "painted" on some textures, but also made ​​some other way on large front windows). (On this screenshot from 3ds Max reflection more visible).

 

 

 

 

Also have to say that I finally began to eviscerate GTA IV resources and took out some textures from they. I found, as many have said, some textures from the old GTA games, but in a better quality (although I thought that there will be a lot more). Some other textures also useful. For example, windows of this hospital were made based on windows from GTA IV. But the textures from GTA IV will be a little bit and they will look different because the familiar textures should not throw you in the eye.

I see you're using GTA IV textures.

 

That's good. I've noticed that there are a lot of similar textures in IV, if not they're the exact same textures that date back possibly as early as 1999! Good idea! I noticed IV used a lot of SA and III textures, but in their original, HD form.

[Dragonji]

Any ETA?

Something tells me that Rockstar will still be using some old textures. And, if think, all textures of the San Andreas are in the their "storages" in excellent original quality... And I spend so much time to their re-create. Sad thoughts.

 

 

Any ETA?

Estimated time of arrival? No, not yet.

 

New screenshots.

 

 

LAwn. Part 3:

All Saints General Hospital

 

In these screenshots better view new texture mapping - windows no longer such small and hospital looks much more realistic. Model prelight also made.

LAwn. Part 4:

Film Studio

 

New screenshots, guys.

 

 

 

[Death2Drugs]

Awesome!

[Flame]

 

LAwn. Part 5:

Film Studio

 

 

 

Death2Drugs, thanks again.

[Gramps]

Hospital and Film Studio look great; keep it up

[Flame]

 

LAwn. Part 6

 

A few screenshots of quite ordinary places. On screenshots 2 and 3 you can see original tile texture, but "replicated" - more smaller and proportionate. Comparative screenshot below this text shows standard texture from SA and the same texture, but from GTA IV, in better quality.

 

 

 

methodunderg, thanks.

[Flame]

 

LAwn. Part 7

 

 

Textures from comparative screens 1 and 2 based on textures from GTA IV.

 

 

[elMarcoPL]

It should be official DLC.

Great job!

[Death2Drugs]

This mod only gets better every day!
