Tweak ALL the peds! [TAP MOD]

Autor: Casull16
 
Hi!.
This is my first mod, hope you like it.
This mod replaces ALL the textures from the componentpeds image of GTA IV; with this mod you'll have better quality of textures in the face, body and clothes.
I made the mod for ALL the 335 pedestrians in GTA IV! so is a huge file :P.

From México ;D.

Look at the screenshots please.

19/01/12 EDIT: Working link.
21/01/12 EDIT: New link. A Fix included.

-So, here is a new link and a FIX for Vlad, just replace the original texture with the new; use SparkIV.

26/02/12 EDIT: New links [Mediafire].

----IMPORTANT----

Seven individuals and two corporations have been charged in the United States with running an international organized criminal enterprise allegedly responsible for massive worldwide online piracy of numerous types of copyrighted works, through Megaupload.com and other related sites, generating more than $175 million in criminal proceeds and causing more than half a billion dollars in harm to copyright owners, the U.S. Justice Department and FBI announced today.

This action is among the largest criminal copyright cases ever brought by the United States and directly targets the misuse of a public content storage and distribution site to commit and facilitate intellectual property crime.

The individuals and two corporations - Megaupload Limited and Vestor Limited - were indicted by a grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia on Jan. 5, 2012, and charged with engaging in a racketeering conspiracy, conspiring to commit copyright infringement, conspiring to commit money laundering and two substantive counts of criminal copyright infringement. The individuals each face a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison on the charge of conspiracy to commit racketeering, five years in prison on the charge of conspiracy to commit copyright infringement, 20 years in prison on the charge of conspiracy to commit money laundering and five years in prison on each of the substantive charges of criminal copyright infringement.

The indictment alleges that the criminal enterprise is led by Kim Dotcom, aka Kim Schmitz and Kim Tim Jim Vestor, 37, a resident of both Hong Kong and New Zealand. Dotcom founded Megaupload Limited and is the director and sole shareholder of Vestor Limited, which has been used to hold his ownership interests in the Mega-affiliated sites.

In addition, the following alleged members of the Mega conspiracy were charged in the indictment:

Finn Batato, 38, a citizen and resident of Germany, who is the chief marketing officer;

Julius Bencko, 35, a citizen and resident of Slovakia, who is the graphic designer;

Sven Echternach, 39, a citizen and resident of Germany, who is the head of business development;

Mathias Ortmann, 40, a citizen of Germany and resident of both Germany and Hong Kong, who is the chief technical officer, co-founder and director;

Andrus Nomm, 32, a citizen of Estonia and resident of both Turkey and Estonia, who is a software programmer and head of the development software division;

Bram van der Kolk, aka Bramos, 29, a Dutch citizen and resident of both the Netherlands and New Zealand, who oversees programming and the underlying network structure for the Mega conspiracy websites.

------------ Well... Megaupload is down, please wait, meanwhile I'll load the file to Mediafire.

Greetings.

Napisano: 23 styczeń 2012 19:41 Autor: Casull16
May I ask which methods you used to "touch up" the peds?

It appears as though you ran a sharpen filter, then adjusted brightness / contrast?

The textures are still the low res it appears that on many peds the imperfect low-res texture has it's imperfections sharpened. Some peds legs are all weird and the young hot girls have dark grey splotches on their face.
Napisano: 24 styczeń 2012 07:37 Autor: 2TimesACharm
Hi, no, sharpen filter wasn't used, I used some tonal contrast enhancements, levels, brightness and contrast.

Yes, some textures are 128x128, if I change the value of the image and then I make a Hi-res maybe it could work, but, in that case, I need to remake the texture... Could you tell me the name of the files that are not well tweaked please?

Some of the problems become from the importation with SparkIV, this is a very useful tool but in some cases it spoil some textures, so I can import them with OpenIV, its better in that way.
Napisano: 24 styczeń 2012 18:09 Autor: Casull16
For example, here we have 2 textures that I found on the anim.img:

Original:

http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/5755/origx.png

Enhanced:

http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/3820/bmwood12.png

Remember, tonal contrast, levels, brightness and general contrast.
Napisano: 24 styczeń 2012 19:54 Autor: Casull16
Wow... All I can say is wow... You really tweaked ALL the peds?? Must have taken like a year! 11/10!!!!!!! AWESOME!!

Looking forward for your next mods! :)
Napisano: 30 styczeń 2012 08:06 Autor: MiG95
The process is easy as hell...

I can do it in less than 1 minute for 3 peds.
Napisano: 30 styczeń 2012 19:47 Autor: Quechus9
So it would take about 2 hours for YOU? And same result? nah
Napisano: 31 styczeń 2012 10:25 Autor: MiG95
Hahaha xD

Thanks MiG95, well, it took 1 week, 10-12 hours per day.

And, Quechus, you can't.

there are 20-40 textures per ped, if you export them all you'll have 50 seconds for the improvement process, now load them into Photoshop, wait, then calibrate the contrast & brightness, also apply a tonal contrast filter, finally play with the levels... you got it, ONE tweaked image :D!

Ah, of course you need to import the new textures, rebuild and save the image with SparkIV. Let's open Spark again and do the same :P

And thanks again MiG95!

Napisano: 31 styczeń 2012 23:42 Autor: Casull16
You really deserve the 10/10, this makes the game a lot more realistic! Looking REALLY forward to real brands for LC and better city textures that you mentioned above!

@Casull16

Dude my PC is so powerful it does open and stuff in seconds.

Also you can just use the normal maps and specular maps for the actual "tonal contrast and levels"

Been modding, texturing and modeling since the beginning of the III era.

Plus SparkIV sucks.

OpenIV is the way to go.
Napisano: 14 luty 2012 19:17 Autor: Quechus9
Hey Community ***WORKING ON "TWEAK ALL THE CITY" HAHA*** Coming Soon :)

Quechus, My pc specs:

i7 2600K @ 4.6 Ghz

8 GB RAM Corsair Vengeance @ 1600

ASUS Maximus IV Extreme

XFX RADEON HD 6870 BLACK EDITION WITH DUAL FAN

... Btw, the hardware is NOT the problem, the main question is: Can you apply the filters, yes, filters, then calibrate the levels and other things and save the image in a few seconds? NO, you need a lot of patience, exporting and importing are just secondary processes.

And... GTA III era? ammm what can I say? Congratulations I suppose.

I have the 2 softs, I don't like OpenIV so much, but I'll use it when modding the city textures.

And thanks to all the modders who give me the *9* again :P

Greetings.
