VKVII Oblivion
A series of personal mods, this is: Intro.
DOWNLOAD
Remade the 2 intro .bik videos (map loop and logo sequence).
The resolution is 1920x1080 (the pics here in the mod page are all from the game).
The effects are the same as the original, I have dissected the vanilla videos frame by frame to gather what effects they used and replicated them.
The map is in motion like the original and the logo moves accordingly too.
Corrected a .dds for logo which is used in one of the intros.
I have added the bethesda sofworks video (not redone, just modified). I'm accustomed to hear that music for 2 seconds and I wasn't feeling to get rid of it.
I just made it 1920x1080 and boxed in order to avoid to see that huge totally-blurred frames, now it's smaller and bereable at least.
Notes:
I used vectors for the Oblivion title in the logo sequence because the vanilla one they provided is tiny for that intro, the title 'Oblivion' starts at huge size and decreases over the frames.
About the map video, I have used my map with subtle colors to not differ too much from the sepia one in the original video.
In short I just wanted a better resolution for intros because it was awful to see those blurred things.
I tried my best to not lose details but we have to convert the videos in .bik format for the game to play them, and we can't have the best quality out of it.

JUST A REMINDER (not related to this mod but could be useful):
if you don't want to see some intros, you can simply change in the Oblivion.ini, located in 'My Games' folder, this line:
SIntroSequence=bethesda softworks HD720p.bik,2k games.bik,game studios.bik,Oblivion Legal.bik
Just delete the names of the videos you don't want from here, instead of using ghost .bik files in the game folder, it's cleaner.

It's been interesting to work on the intro sequences, I never noticed their duration or the effects used to animate the various elements, I've seen it all once I had to dissect them frame by frame in order to gather how they were made and replicate the same effects.
Fortunately these are very simple videos, they required some time though... because I never worked on videos, except for a little thing I made many years ago but freely created, it wasn't a sequence I had to remake identical (or as identical as possible).
After I created the elements (background and images for the sequences), I had to figure out how to apply those same effects for the same duration.
I mod this game from time to time for years now and never touched the intros, I wasn't even thinking about them tbh. I looked many times at those sequences thinking they were so badly pixellated but I was focused on other aspects of the game.
Then one day, recently, I may had enough to see those blurred things and thought: "Could I remake these?"
Frankly, I'm happy with the result, because I think they are similar enough to the original and the compression spared enough details, even if the quality is not as great as the uncompressed versions (it sucks to compress but it's necessary for the game to run them).
I really hope other players will enjoy them too!
