[WIP]Tattoos Retextured 1024px v1.0

[damiann69]

New version here: 

 

______________________________________________________________________________

 

This mod replaces all tattoo's textures from old 256px to 1024px!
I was trying to maintain their genuine character, font and position.

What I've done:
Preview, miniatures from interface, when you buy tattoo example
Gallery
Pictures on walls replaced too

Some in game screens:

Ver 1.0:

You must have gta3.img above 1GB size to work it properly.
With modloader works flawlessly, but all torso (skin and clothes) textures in player.img should be resized too, otherwise tattoos are invisible.

Little corrections due existence of modloader

That DOES look good!

[Gramps]

Wow, excellent quality !

 

For help with your fonts, you could try doing a Google for "Font Identifier' or something similar, I hope that can help ..

[damiann69]

In this pictures you can notice real difference:

 

Thanks for feedback. After couple of days without any reply I thought about hanging this project if nobody cares, so now I appreciate your good words . I know this mod isn't big retexture project or some sophisticated script, but I'm still trying to do my best.

 

I didn't know about any search tool for fonts, so that site http://www.identifont.com/ gave me some trace for what I'm looking for. Thx.

No worries bro .. I can't remember the last time I went to get a tattoo .. But I always give props to modders who do great work, whether I use it or not

 

Try this site too; I've used it a few times : http://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/

 

If there tool doesn't help, there is always the forums which people are very helpful in

 

Maybe after this, create your own tattoos? or carry on and do all of player.img?

[lolleroz]

Wow this is really great bro. I have no idea why nobody thought of it before. Once I'll be making a HD install of san andreas (since I feel like finally passing it) I'll be sure to install.

[damiann69]

I think some fonts from San Andreas have not their analogs so I decided to redraw them

However I found this fonts

@methodunderg http://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/ it's quite useful, should help .

I don't want make own tattoos despite original ones are't much impressive. I just really like add quality to old R* textures.

I think about retexturing whole player.img, but I have to prepare myself . It going to be harder. We will see.

It's not how big your project, I more appreciate the idea as this is probably first tattoo remake made for San Andreas. Great job and I hope you could keep on working CJ's textures!

[damiann69]

I can't read it.

File name is "westside"

So first word is WESTSIDE, next is:

_T_Y

I guess...

 

And another one:

6 left, after that polishing and beta release .

[MeatSafeMurderer]

@damiann69 I believe that says 'A Westside Story'

Great work man, they look great

[damiann69]

Yeah, 'A Westside Story" sounds good . Thanks.

Ogólnie dobra robota ale niektóre tatuaże są zniekształcone na ciele CJ'a , to przez zły UV maping. Ja robiłem tak zapisywałem CJ z jednym zestawem tatuażu edytowałem textury - Zniekształcałem je zmieniałem trochę ich pozycję. ładowałem grę patrzyłem czy teraz wyglądają dobrze na modelu jak nie to jeszcze raz kombinowałem aż się udało.

Najwięcej problemów z tego co pamiętam było na klatce piersiowej i dolnej części pleców.

Overall a good job but some tattoos are distorted on CJ body . When i did tattos for SA i saved CJ with one set of tattoo edited the textures -i distorted them change their position. I load the game and cheeck if it looks good on a model, if not i did it again.

Most problems from what I remember it was on the chest and lower back.

 

Good luck

[damiann69]

I know that, but first I want to make textures and after that I will fix shapes, positions and hue. I mentioned about it in first post .

Been looking for such mode for a very long time. Good to see you doing it.

[epoxi]

Great job. Cool how your avatar is one of the unused SA textures.

[damiann69]

Thanks for support.

@epoxi I'm curious where it could be used in game...

New three redrawn and three textures remaining .

Really nice work!

 

Finally somebody does it correctly!

[Silent]

@epoxi I'm curious where it could be used in game...

TTDISA used it in mission OG Loc, where Freddy was taunting OG Loc just before he fled. The images match what he said.

[damiann69]

Welcome back

 

I decided to change this text because "Orange Grove Street" it is beta name. Grove street is green gang, so orange don't match to it. Probably I will make version with "Orange Grove Street" text too.

I'm not 100% satisfied of this 3 tattoos, few defects. Do you like it?

 

Also

New version of Mary, cos old one had to many details and finally looked like black spot.

Despite this bullet looks like original I don't want put it in release because it looks like dildo. Don't it?

This is better option:

And last but not least

I will make new version which will look more similar to original.

 

I've just noticed this tattoo, so one left. I hope make it tomorrow, should be easy

 

I'm waiting for some opinions. Peace

Edited May 13, 2013 by damiann69

[CCPD]

I actually like the original bullet. I don't think it looks like dildo. I'd rather you included it in the final release. Greta job.

[aStiffSausage]

Or if you are unsure, why let those good looking tattoos get unused? Add them in the package as additionals so people can switch between them to their own liking.

[damiann69]

And all textures remade!

I hope I will be able to make some beta release before 01.06. Now I will be making textures on walls in tattoo salon. Final release after 1.07 because I have exams.

[Stryfaar]

Sweet. Very great work! Can you release the player tattoos now? Since all of 'em are finished and all ..

[damiann69]

I could try , but I've noticed that those tattoos examples on walls it is not a lot of work to do, so release should be soon.

[Gramps]

This looks really great mate .. I hope you continue it further and extend to retexturing CJ himself @ least .. (maybe even his clothes too)

 

Kinda looks funny with HQ Tattoos on a LQ body.

[damiann69]

@methodunderg I used remade torso by navetsea (CJSkinTweak512), it looks fine for me; but in release is standard version, just resized to 1024px. If you want use navetsea's textures you should expand them to 1024px (torso.txd and player_torso.txd).

Also I could try make all clothes retexture , but I will start after 01.07. I'm not experienced modder, I was learning doing this tattoos, however it became my small passion, so I can't wait to make new retexture mod .

 

Beta doesn't contain two tattoos:

Because I messed up those files and I have to almost make them again.

 

BETA:

Download

You probably need gta3.img above 1GB size to work it properly.

And this mod perhaps needs mipmaps, but I'm newbie in this things.

 

I really looking forward your opinions, don't afraid to mention about anything, I will fix it.
