Is it possible that there is no pattern to find with these COS files? Or is it that there certainly is a pattern but it's not discovered yet? What I take from giucam's description is that each of these files were made manually for specific scenarios in the game. As if the devs shoved everything that...

I hope that I'm correct when I say that the main goal as of now is to remake the characters. That is to add details to the 3d models without getting far from the originals and to get the texture resolutions higher by redrawing them, again adding detail where necessary without getting far from the or...

Joy indeed! Great job Nite! Ahem though I think the jaw looks kinda weird... Huh? What? Who said that? :D But seriously, it does. I don't know... Maybe it goes down too much, or maybe the "mouth" should move down with it as well... I think we need a proper website now, with a wiki and a fo...

I thought I saw something about that in the early days... Was not sure enough to tell you...
Anyway, great job Nitrus! Keep up the nice work!

Nice job Draxen! The head's better now that it's flat at the top. But I think Manny's stomack has become too thin. To the point that it's making him more of a her! You know, his stomach is thin to the pint that a female anatomy is. small chest and big hips. I don't know how to explain how his chest/...

A little "update" on the background re-modeling and re-rendering sub-project. So, PixieFrog from the amazing Grim Fandango Stop-Motion Project has generously shared his 3d models of Manny's Office gadgets/equipments and decorations :D I was so excited to be able to rotate around Manny's &q...

What's with those shades on the textures?
I remember the guy who exported that said it works best in Blender ...

I will post updates!

Cool! I like following a development.

I think we should work on a Syberia-esque Point and Click interface for it as well. I say Syberia-esque since it was a 2.5D adventure as well and it worked really well. The WASD controlls are still annoying...

Sure.
OK, Let's see what can be done ...

No, I mentioned that in my earlier post (re-rendering out-of-engine), and I'm not arguing against it, only against full-3D free-camera. Oh. OK. I thought you were talking about an in-game 3D environment renderer. :o OK, So ... I maybe of some help recreating the backgrounds in 3D. I need the backgr...

@somaen;
I think you missed another thing I said in my post, About using the 3Dfied BG's Models to rerender the backgrounds for the current 2.5D system.
IMO, Streaching the BGs make the game look ugly.

What would full 3D add? There is no camera-control on that level in the scripts (as far as I know, but really, why would there be?), and thus little to add, apart from a way to re-render the rooms out-of-engine. Lots of things! We can make the game more dynamic by adding camera control animations a...

Maybe I can help you in the future.

I'm learning Google ScetchUp right now, So maybe I can help if you decided to make the game fully 3D.
Then I can probably be of some help to make the Backgrounds in 3D models.
I'd be glad to do so

Great project! Looking forward to it! And specially its derivetives (You know, Like, Making the game fully 3D, Not only 2.5D and remodeling/retexturizing the whole game in order to make the game look like the actual concept-arts and , Etc ...) I wonder why didn't you ask the Grim Fandango Network at...
