About 1 year ago I started to observe data structure in Grim Fandango. The initial thought was to completely rebuild the game form scratch. Actually, forgetting manpower, it was not technically impossible; main issues were: backgrounds - smartly solved by kavehth here Models and anims - coded in a r...

During these holidays i solved the problem. A little preview of the result.


Hope you enjoy it!

Yes! Truly awesome stuff! And the best has to come!

You mean by software or redesignig?
In any case, drawing a full room (right now I only did untextured Manny's Office) should take no more than a day. If it is only required to design guide volumes for photoshop, I think that 2-3 hours are enough.

I think we have the opportunity to recreate better quality backgrounds. They can be used for example as a perspective and enviroment-coherent guideline for photoshop pipeline. Than there is a remote possibility to make a full 3d GF, but this is another problem.

Just reapproaching th possibility of a 3d remake...i think the bottleneck will be defintely animations. It will be extremely hard to accomplish such target without a better exporting tool. Im working on a collada exporter to export not only models, but still skeleton, pivot of body parts And maybe I...

After a bunch of research about Z-buffer and our disposable output (I refer to scummrev3 and GrimEdi solutions), I decided to take a very long launch using GLIntercept and OGLE in order to extract something useful from the game from Grim Remastered. SURPRISE! Besides having access to all new local t...

I need some time, tomorrow I have an exam at university
However I want to thank you for your incredible effort!

I remembered something about audio commentary of Remastered version, then I searched it in localization files: Kevin: So yeah, one of the things that I think people don't realize is it's not just pre-rendered art, but there's pre-rendered z-buffers-- Bret: That's right. Kevin: -- through the whole t...

I want to understand how engine affects 3do initial rotations. Maybe to put together a better importer/exporter.

First trial using @kavehth piece of software.
I'm sorry but I have an issue with renderer, so I can only give you viewport pictures.

Hi everyone!
I took a read of ResidualVM source in search of some way to decode .key files.
I read in this topic that @somaen was able to read .3do binary files and decode practically everything.

It is possible to obtain a similar output for animations?

i spent a lot of time trying to figure out a way to rotate and transform the mesh based on the position of the camera but i couldn't figure out the math, maybe someone else can figure it out .set files contains some useful informations to acquire orientations of all scene setups. In this simple cas...

kavehth, you are a genius!
Thank you so much!
