Biggest issues with the new textures are the eyes, they're too shiny, too lifeless, so i upscaled the ps2 ones and they look very good. For Yuna i replaced the eyes, eyebrows,eyelashes and the mouth.
This is what the textures looked while the HD remaster was being developed
Different 3d artist. Tidus face was different in the fmv's already so it's actually hard to tell which face is better. I think all styles didn't get the 2d art right in 3d. It's hard to tell if it is the face of a male or female character.
The PS2 didn't support normal or specular maps, so the artists only had diffuse textures to work with.
The PS2 ones look better IMO, since they put more care into them, unlike the HD ones where they just slapped new textures and modified their face structure for some reason, also the FFX-2 models only changed the geometry slightly.
And here's Rikku only changed the eyes, eyelashes and eyebrows:
Meta, why don't ya just crop the eyes on to the HD rip and just resize, and color in a bit of the pixels with ink dropper copy. might help with the lifeless effect.
Also good job on your textures, there looking good so far. Keep up the good work. It will become a breeze as you play with the tools you have. Found a tool in gimp the other day that fills in a whole traced area with a choice of color, keeping shadows,textures,shades,etc. Makes making hair colors,eye colors, skin, etc a breeze.
Wow, that Tidus looks great MetaLink, I'm going to try it in-game... Can't wait for Yuna's textures: in the HD Remaster her hair is way too dark specially the hi-res model.
