Something like this

With bump maps too.

if you add honeycombs, the stretching will be even more apparently, as now you have small honeycombs here, then suddenly long and big honeycombs here.

also texture stretching is actually good for certain fabrics and materials like rubber, leather, etc. his suit looks like some type of rubber or polymer

Understood, I was thinking of the sneaking outfits from splinter cell blacklist. They had this same design, it added a lot of depth to materials, rather than just plain rubber or latex.



A faded snake skin pattern I think could also work for big boss as well. Anyways I do really like snake's default outfit, I just think it could some extra grain detailing.

I also have an other question. Could anyone recreate this next gen snake face?


Just the way it is, with close geometry level and texture detail.

I don't understand... That's just Big Boss' face model without beard or hair meshes.


Also, anybody else experiencing about 1/3 frequent crash rates with custom textures?

Those patterns on Sam Fisher's shirt are probably shader-based, i doubt the shirt texture is *that* big.
The hex pattern on the Crysis 2 nanosuit was just a 32x32 normal map if i remember correctly, imagine a second texture overlay with a different UV map (basically that 32x32 tile repeated over and over again). They did the same with Jill Valentine's combat suit in Resident Evil 5.

Can anyone upload the converted model and textures for the fighter jet? I'd like to look at them.

lol if you read that guy's post all he does is complain about how the models and textures aren't good enough or next gen. i think there's something wrong with his computer or graphics card.

Metal Gear Solid HD Collection uses the exact same textures, right? It only allows you to play in higher resolution?

As mentioned by another user TTS wasn't in the HD collection (which tbh is good, I don't imagine converting a gamecube game to a PS3 game would be particularly easy).

For some people nothing is ever good enough.

Let me remind you guys that this thread is mainly for reversing the game assets. If you're going to have a discussion about graphics or what not either take it to pm or make another thread somewhere else. A little off topic isn't bad but lets try and keep it at a minimum.

So you have the model of snake, i was unaware this was the same mesh underneath. facial hair makes it look different, it's probably because of the hair quality.


I think he looks better shaved, or at least use sharper Hair quality.

whatever size it is, shader based and all it works grate for adding depth to the material, depth that Snake's sneaking suit could also use.

I don't think that's the case my specs are fine, 2x R9 290's in crossfire + core i7 4770k

Both GPUs and CPU are water cooled, and I'm also gaming on a 46' TV.

Some of you are probably not seeing Ground Zeroes in the same fidelity as me, or have setups that accommodate within it's requirements. I'm also not complaining, or at least not trying to sound like it. i'm more less highlighting things that can contribute to GZ's experience, through some suggestions.

Makes me wonder about the purpose of this thread and the ones who comment in it. I never mentioned that i went into Ground Zeroes Files and messed around with them, i haven't done this. It Seems that the ones who have chosen to go into the files were the ones themselves who had things they also wanted to change. I didn't make a character export/importer because i'm fine with playing as Snake. (as it was intended to be)

If everyone was really happy with the game, this thread would be empty and no one here would be digging into it's files. I'm not really here though to point fingers, things that contribute to lifting GZ's experience i support.

Not really, some of us pick apart the game files because we enjoy the challenge of doing so not because we actually want to change anything. I don't speak for everyone but I'm sure a few others here that reverse game files do it for that reason as well.

i agree. i don't mod games i'm not happy with, i usually just uninstall them or never purchase them to begin with. modding's just a bonus for me.

I get that, and I too like the challenge of doing somethings. Though challenge or for fun encrypted files were made to keep people away. I still don't see how wanting to see textures is any better or worser than wanting to see their files that represent them.

I like enhancements it increases replay value, it also increases sales too which I think konami would probably like to hear more. I look at it as a constructive endeavor, good for everyone not just myself.

Two more suggestions I got. Upgrading AO to HBAO, and bringing back shell casings that are missing from the console versions.

------------------------------------------------------------

Also, pardon my large pictures. I'll check before submitting more pictures. A majority of websites usually auto scale them, Or provide options to set them to scale. I was wondering how to do that here.

Its the same for me, I've no interest in replacing models or modding the game in general, I'm a 3d artist and I just like seeing what neat tricks my peers have created in order to make stuff look awesome.

The only issue is the game will most likely end up on endless loading or crash at some point of the game because not all filenames are known so far.

When I do this for data_02, the game never leaves the first loading screen before the main menu. It's not the case of the missing lua files however, because when I repack data_02 without them, the game loads just fine.

Okay, so as references to that Assets folder show with the beginning forward slash "/Assets/" (meaning not a subdirectory), the game will actually look for the folder at the root directory of your drive apparently, as opposed to in the game's directory.
