FFXI HD Mods

And Whitegate/Al Zhabi original as well. Modder took a lot of liberties with the reskin lol

thanks

for better performance, I think amelila should add bumpmap as a layer incrustated in the original texture (it's easy with photoshop), it's what I plan to do with my future mod.

Reshade also have an optional bumpmap shader

FFXI really don't like big size bump map

Yea I was very confused walking into Whitegate for the first time with it on... It's way too bright and looks nothing like it's supposed to.

Do you happen to have a picture of the faces? Just want to see what I'm getting myself into before I put those into the mix.

elvaan male face 1



taru female 1



galka



they use texture from the character creation screen

for the face from the guide, most of them have preview on the given links

the best way to have preview o the face is to use Altana view, it give you the number of the dats of each face, so you can save the original one and then, you can make some try!!

Not bad, though I've got to say the elvaan is a bit frightening...

Elvaan was my second mod ever made, actually, I like it (not like my first mod that I don't use anymore) but I think I would do better now as I have a better knowledge of photoshop.

but For now porting texture from character creation model is on hiatus form me because it ask really too much time
(the texture are really different between character creation and ingame model, for the galka by exemple, It was needed to duplicate 130 time the hair texture of the character creation model with slighty different ondulation each time to recreate the hair of the character)

As there is already many good face replacment for most of the face and AI gigapixel can make very good HD version of the ingame texture

edit:I know, it maybe a lot of works, but I wonder if it would not be better for the gigapack to give each mod in a separate folder (maybe with some organisation like: zone, monster, equipment, furniture, face)
I would allow people to choose the mod they want

And packing the gigapack with noesis(for the zone) and Altana view(for the face and the equipment) to allow an easy preview of the mod

It's not bad, it just looks very out of place to me. It's good work, just not something I'd use. I can't quite put my finger on it but it seems very... awkward? The features just don't seem right?
Not really your fault.

The other 2 look great and really fit.

the skin too white maybe(When I create the mod, I made the error to fuse the layer of the skin with the hair, so, I can't edit the skin color to fit the ingame color) or the fact he have blue eyes like in character creation, or mabe the fact he dont smile like the ingame model

thanks for the good appreciation

removed the marbled white gate

Do you have the original whitegate/al zhabi? And thanks

I like the new whitegate and lower jeuno a lot better than the old. beats looking at the same stuff over and over again

Is there a mega download with all the Dats somewhere?

This last updated reverted back some map .DATs back to original. Wasn't all but some. Any idea if some of these HD mods were also reverted back?

look 5 posts up :P

I made a darker version of my Elvaan male face 1 using character creation texture to fit more to the game, Is it better than the one posted few post ago?



Face1 Elvaaan male character creation texture by Chevalierkraken

which site do you guys go to, to find your hd textures?

for HD texture for the zone, I upscale the vanilla texture with IA giga pixel, then add a bumb map layer in photoshop and I add to the texture a texture as a layer encrusted to the original texture.

I find the texture in some site like Texture.com or sketchuptextureclub

can u add a bumpmap for gimp i dont have photoshop?

That looks much better, though is it just me or does the mouth seem oddly wide? Maybe it's just been awhile since I looked at my elvaan's mouth.

It's even easier with gimp
here is a tuto for bump map effect


you just have to choose bump map rather than emboss, donc choose very high value to keep it natural

if the effect is not good enough for you, make a copy of the original image, remove the color information from the copy, turn it in negative then use the emboss effect(not bump map) and then encrust it in the original image

Hold my beer... Ronfaure 2019.
Coming soon.

This is not a word in the English language. What is it supposed to mean?

To inlay
Closest english word would be "encrust" ... so hard to swap a letter... lol

Oh, incrust, not inscrust. Is "incrustated" the proper verb conjugation?

It's useful information; I'm just trying to make sense of it.

Sorry, I am French, and sometimes, I make error in english.

check this out, this is good. For bump you'd want to try the Displacement map

No worries; I suspected something was lost in translation. Your English is still better than my French.

Don't apologize, English is just as convoluted as Swedish and Chinese. Nobody should be expected to be at native speaker level, aside from native speakers.
