'REDUX CRUO' is a mod for 'Blood 2: The Chosen' that aims to overhaul the art, audio, animations and gameplay to deliver a slightly further cooked Blood 2 experience.
A work-in-progress screenshot of the world texture overhaul as well as the reskin of the Assault Rifle.
Changes done:
-Removed the noisy detail in the original brick wall textures and painted in shadows and highlights. I've replaced the nailed shut windows with open ones as I feel they bring more interest to the scene as well as appear less flat. Further ahead I'm looking into bringing some variation to the different windows. As of now there's just two variations.
-Replaced the Tree1.prop with Tree2. I find Tree2 more interesting visually, bringing more volume to the barren scenes.
-Recreated the Tree2 prop skin from scratch
-Recreated the trashcan prop skin from scrath
-Started reskinning the Assault Rifle. Aiming for a dark metal look and dirty duct tape.
-Changed the position of the Assault Rifle to have a more unobstructed view when wielding the weapon
-Replaced some additional textures in the scene. These textures are still going to go through further detail work.
-Skin resolution was upscaled for props that were not 256x256.
What's becoming apparent as I'm cleaning up the textures is that some of the world textures never properly lined up. This can be seen for example on the brick wall in the back. However there's little I can do about this as it's something that should be fixed on the level itself.
Please note everything here is WIP and seubject to change.
Always good to have a reason to return to Blood.
Now that is eye catching!💪👍✌️🎶
