Re: Recreating the backgrounds

And another problem I see in the grim fandango animated backgrounds is the rigidity of the animation, they are made by image frames in some 2D right? It would be possible to add more frames so she could get smoother? It would require repacking LAB files. Each animation can be viewed as an image usi...

Re: Recreating the backgrounds

Cool, thanks for the info, but what is necessary to remove it? Original files :) It would be 2 sec job to re-export scenes in high-res & widescreen & full 32-bit colours... but not even DoubleFine has all the source files. Or at least they said so in first "Re-making GF" episode o...

No, those are compression artifacts. But unlike JPG, these are GIF-like. It's called dithering.

We can't stop with the work!

In my opinion Grim Fandango Remastered is excellent, but I still think we can improve it. 1. How eg redo some 3D models, as they did here with Manny; 2.
