Smash 3 HD Remix for Brawl/PM: Feb 4

[Layell]

Information

This project is based on the Smash 3 and Smash 3C projects over on smashboards. These Smash 3 projects aim to update Brawls dreary art style and turn it into something more akin to Smash 4 while remaining faithful to the characters original games. To that end I have redrawn many of the 3/3C source texture files to 4x their original size to ensure Brawl and Project M look better than ever before.

Screenshots and Comparisons
Screenshots with the Smash 4 style shader
A good idea of how the project looks ingame, I'll try to update this as necessary with new characters.

Downloads

First make sure you have the Brawl/PM HD Retexture Pack already as I designed it to be patched over in order to keep as many assets HD as possible.


Full Pack
Netplay Pack

The full pack comes in two parts, the files you would load in Dolphin the same way you would for the PM retexture pack, and the fighter files with added effects you can put in the PM virtual SD card or iso. The netplaypack doesn't include some special specs and rimlights to prevent deysnch effect, but it still looks very lovely. The netplay pack has a few characters not included.

PM Extra Content - Full/Netplay





Full Pack
Netplay Pack

The Full Brawl pack requires a virtual SD card like the PM pack (or you could patch the iso if you want). The netplay pack has a few effects removed because that pack cannot have any edited fighter files.

I'll be using this to give an idea of what characters I'm working on at the moment.

The Smash 4 Shader for PM

Some shaders made by Ed94, really add in the bloom and colours!

Not sure how I feel about Samus being less shiny and Mario being less detailed, but I do see potential and it's definitely an interesting project.
Moved to the HD Texture forum.

Go go OP! Looks great, agree with @Garteal thou.

Regarding Mario I am following his standard/modern design. If anything Brawls model is the outlier, and in no actual Mario games does he get denim even close to that design. As for Samus if you'd like the spec maps are there to delete but the added saturation, and rimlight effect (which was also shown in the brawl texture I showed) more than makes up for a little less shine. Anyone is free to delete the specs in Samus' folder, but I would say it makes it a bit too bright since the textures aren't as pale any more.

Anyways I have Roy and Jigglypuff almost ready for a coming week, and eventually OoT Ganondorf will be ready by TEMSVL of smashboards.

Great project. I'm looking forward to the finished thing. However it seems that your download link (for the PM version at least) is not working. Could you supply a reupload or a mirror? Thanks

I've been messing around with smashes textures myself. I've added some material mapping to some stages.

It looks more like an HD Melee than it does Smash 4.

Regardless, I think it's looking pretty decent, and leaps and bounds better than the actual Brawl/Project M textures.

Oof that is because I changed the file name to accommodate the netplay specific pack I've been cooking up, and that messed up the url. Fixed.

That is very cool, and I'd certainly like to try it with my pack. You should post it here, or the HD Brawl/PM texture thread, or just make you're own thread!

EDIT: I have added the netplay pack to the OP!

Thanks a ton, as for looking more like HD Melee, I added a little shader pack by Ed94 in my first post, along with some screenshots of that, I've enjoyed my use of it (since I totally cannot figure out making my own shaders at all).

Holy crap, the SSB4 shader makes it look even better!
