Grim Fandango Mods possible?

[fischkopf]

Is it possible to create mods for Grim Fandango like higher quality models or textures or higher quality backgrounds?

GF wasn't designed to be modable, so at a guess I'd say probably not. That isn't to say that it wouldn't be possible, but if GF is ever going to have higher-rez models and backgrounds then I'd expect it to come as a special edition from LucasArts.

Besides, someone would have to actually make the higher quality models, textures and backgrounds, because as far as I'm aware, no high quality resources were ever released by LucasArts.

While models and the corresponding textures wouldn't be the biggest problem, recreating the pre-rendered backgrounds from scratch would be an extremely painstaking task, to say the least.

Presumably LucasArts still has the original background art, audio files and cutscene videos. If they do, then a SE could possibly be economically very attractive, considering the amount of work that had to be done for the MI SEs.[/i]
