⭐⭐⭐ 09-Apr-21 02:50 AM

こんちゃ！

Would'ja like me to go behind you and add descriptions to the channels?

DorfDork 09-Apr-21 02:51 AM

sure thing

⭐⭐⭐ 09-Apr-21 02:51 AM

Gotcha!

Fanamel 09-Apr-21 02:53 AM

Oh when do you plan on announcing it btw? I know you want to get this done but I was hoping to be able to look over things for a bit first when I wake up before letting people in

DorfDork 09-Apr-21 02:53 AM

I can wait until you wake up

Fanamel 09-Apr-21 02:56 AM

That'd be great, I might be messing with the channels a little. I think having a section to showcase mods and 3D art will be useful too since this subject goes naturally in hand with it

⭐⭐⭐ 09-Apr-21 03:09 AM

Alright, descriptions are set up! How's it look?

DorfDork 09-Apr-21 03:10 AM

They look pretty good

I'm rendering the server icon right now

⭐⭐⭐ 09-Apr-21 03:11 AM

Wahoo! Can't wait to see it

DorfDork 09-Apr-21 03:18 AM

can't post the full res one but I went with this

we can always change it later

⭐⭐⭐ 09-Apr-21 03:20 AM

: 000

It's so pretty...

Andrat 09-Apr-21 05:55 AM

That’s awesome looking honestly

Speed Weed 09-Apr-21 10:57 AM

looks great honestly

what about arcade games though

Pik 09-Apr-21 12:03 PM

Howdy folks

⭐⭐⭐ 09-Apr-21 12:30 PM

Howdy howdy friends!!

Speed Weed 09-Apr-21 12:39 PM

hi bro

⭐⭐⭐ 09-Apr-21 12:47 PM

Hiiii

Fanamel 09-Apr-21 05:28 PM

Okay so I got some ideas on what to do with channels but I'd have to delete and rearrange a few to do it if that's okay with you guys

I'm thinking it might be more efficient to organize sections by companies like Nintendo, Capcom, Konami, etc as the same teams would be more likely to share texture libraries rather than having the scope expanded over an entire console

2

Pik 09-Apr-21 05:31 PM

That worked well for the Rare section, so I approve of that

⭐⭐⭐ 10-Apr-21 01:43 AM

Hello you

⭐⭐⭐ 20-Apr-21 10:20 PM

Oh gee, new members! Welcome, friends!

Hi and welcome! (edited)

GenesisJam 27-Apr-21 04:40 PM

Came here from Poke’s stream heh

Stevie 27-Apr-21 04:41 PM

Hi everyone I'm new here. I do a lot of work for the 1996-1999 San Francisco Rush series (mostly 2049) on Arcade, N64, DC, etc. (edited)

1

Me and a few others have found source textures for 2049 that I'd love to share/contribute at somepoint. Ik the wiki is on standby so I'll share what I have when ready.

Pik 27-Apr-21 04:42 PM

Oh nice, cool to see you on board!

DorfDork 27-Apr-21 04:42 PM

hello

Pik 27-Apr-21 04:42 PM

Looking forward to any sources there

Stevie 27-Apr-21 04:43 PM

Are you guys familiar with the games by any chance? They went under the radar but they were in a lot of arcades in 90's and 2000's

One of the n64 composers (barry leitch) gave me source XM files for the N64 music last year which was huge because the sound is pretty compressed.

DorfDork 27-Apr-21 04:51 PM

not familiar with that series at all

Fanamel 27-Apr-21 04:52 PM

Oh that sounds awesome

I've been slowly picking away at getting the Wiki filled out the last few days so I can certainly make pages for them

Can't say I'm too familiar with the series sadly but I do recall seeing it a few times before

Stevie 27-Apr-21 05:04 PM

It's okay, it totally went under the radar for a lot of people.

Super cool game though, the 2049 arcade is so good for a game that's over 20 years old.

I was going through the texture libraries that you guys linked on the wiki, but I couldn't find any matches at the time and I think it's because it's an american game. Not sure if it's common for american devs back then to use japanese texture libraries

Fanamel 27-Apr-21 05:12 PM

Yeh I haven't spotted any Japanese images in any western games yet in what I've seen. What American companies were using back then is still a bit elusive to me. The only textures I've managed to spot so far is what came with Alias software

Oh I suppose there's those Art Beats stock videos that got used a lot but that's more for explosion/fire effects

Stevie 27-Apr-21 05:16 PM

We've been able to find some using some reverse image search (I forget the name)

yeah weirdly a fire texture was one of them

another was a full picture of some dodge concept car that was used for a really small billboard shot

Can post the few I have in #nintendo-resource-links?

my b just saw the channel below haha

Fanamel 27-Apr-21 05:22 PM

Oh no worries lol. general-game-matches will work perfect for it

Fanamel 27-Apr-21 05:35 PM

this one honestly seems familiar, I'll have to check if it's in anything I got

Appreciate the dump by the way, I'll make sure to get a page made for it

Stevie 27-Apr-21 05:35 PM

It probably is, all of these are found using a reverse search and that one had a lot of results.

Fire textures might be annoying. They're animated with like 8 or so frames but the only source I could find was a gif.

Fanamel 27-Apr-21 05:38 PM

Interesting, would you have the gif at hand to post?

Stevie 27-Apr-21 05:39 PM

Yeah, it looks super weird though.

I think it's sourced from the same thing as the first fire effect posted.

Fanamel 27-Apr-21 05:54 PM

Doesn't appear to match anything I have but what's there should be good enough to figure out what it came from if it ever pops up

can't imagine there had to be too many cd's you could get flame footage from at the time

Stevie 27-Apr-21 05:59 PM

I could always ask the devs specifically if they'd know. I've talked to 2 art people.

If this is anything to go by; they used Multigen II and Modelgen when creating a lot of the art for the game. A huge amount of the building textures are cg, it's mainly the environment textures that were pulled from something else.

There's like 50 or so textures like this

A lot of textures they used also started out as photos that they took themselves. They made an alcatraz track for an expansion pack and some of the guys went to alcatraz to take photos for the game's visuals.

There used to be a website showing off how they made the cg stuff too, I should have saved them bc the website just shutdown a few months ago.

Pik 27-Apr-21 06:06 PM

That's interesting, I'm always looking out for old CG software like that. I hadn't heard of Modelgen before but now I can look into it

Stevie

Pik 27-Apr-21 06:06 PM

Would this happen to be on archive.org?

Stevie 27-Apr-21 06:07 PM

It was bundled with multigen I guess? Idk if I'm getting the lingo wrong

Fanamel 27-Apr-21 06:09 PM

That's pretty cool to know actually. I never heard of those programs either until now

Stevie 27-Apr-21 06:10 PM

I'm not good with archive.org

Pik 27-Apr-21 06:12 PM

Ooh, excellent

I was on that last page recently, I knew I'd heard of that game before

Stevie 27-Apr-21 06:19 PM

I'm glad it got a moment in the spotlight!

Stevie

I'm glad it got a moment in the spotlight!

Fanamel 27-Apr-21 06:44 PM

Would it be okay if I credited you on the page for this game or would you prefer it to be anonymous on it?

Stevie 27-Apr-21 06:44 PM

Yeah that’d be awesome

Id prefer my YouTube or discord

My channel here if that’s ok

https://youtube.com/c/Stevie2049

Stevie

I make Rush 2049 mods.

Fanamel 27-Apr-21 06:45 PM

I'll for sure put a link to your channel on there

Stevie 27-Apr-21 06:46 PM

Actually credit for the car was someone else hold on

I’ll get back to you on that, I think it’s okay to publish whatever you have right now (edited)

Stevie 27-Apr-21 07:11 PM

@VGTP Owner Cover photo. It's the best known title image and I was able to nab it from the official site. (edited)

Fanamel 27-Apr-21 07:13 PM

perfect, that's better quality than the one I found

any chance of some sort of bridge to an alternative comms protocol, even if just this channel?

like IRC, or XMPP...

RSS syndication for #announcements would be nice too

i will gladly provide any hosting needed (edited)

Pik 27-Apr-21 07:27 PM

I brought up the idea of an IRC chat for this earlier, half joking but if we really wanted to

I say why not

Stevie 27-Apr-21 07:37 PM

@Fanamel person who found yellow car is GrumpyI3unny (613) #2511 on discord

Fanamel 27-Apr-21 07:38 PM

I wouldn't mind it if people wanted to use it. I'm honestly a brainlet when it comes to setting anything like that up though.

@DorfDork don't know if you'd have a better understanding on it or how you feel about it

And gotcha, I'll add the name to the page

Got a page now, don't know if everything looks correct here for ya

Stevie 27-Apr-21 08:14 PM

That's awesome, thank you!

Can you use this for my avatar on the site?

Fanamel 27-Apr-21 08:16 PM

Sure thing, got it there now

Stevie 27-Apr-21 08:16 PM

Sweet.

Man this is awesome; I've always wanted to start publicly documenting the stuff I've gathered for these games. I've got a server of 180 or so people in it and they've all been wanting the same thing.

I just shared the page and they're stoked it's up

Fanamel 27-Apr-21 08:22 PM

That's awesome to hear lol. Honestly I've felt the same and always thought it was odd these type of findings never really found a place to form at

If there's extra things you'd like on there such as developer interviews or art galleries I'm down to link them. I like to think of these pages as eventually being good resources for people who want more insight on how the games were created

Stevie 27-Apr-21 08:25 PM

I have more official stuff that slipped under the radar.

a lot of car renders that look sweet but were never really used except for decal graphics

I have like 20 of these for different cars

Actually the cars might be overkill but these might be cool to put on the site

During development, they mapped San Francisco out for potential tracks and narrowed it down to what looked fun.

any chance of some sort of bridge to an alternative comms protocol, even if just this channel?

DorfDork 27-Apr-21 08:32 PM

Thanks for the offer but it's not something I'm looking towards at the moment.

Fanamel 27-Apr-21 08:36 PM

Oh that's a cool link, I'll throw that in. For a gallery of the art like the car renders maybe we could set-up an outside page somewhere that's easier to view it at and link to it

Stevie 27-Apr-21 08:40 PM

Yeah that'd be a better idea.

Are there plans for a site outside of github that's meant for more broad source files for games and not just textures? I remember reading that somewhere but I can't recall where.

Fanamel 27-Apr-21 08:43 PM

If it's ever possible for us to it'd be ideal to have a custom site made for this stuff to organize it better but it's a bit of a distant dream situation at the moment

We just use github wiki since it's free and is pretty reliable for hosting

Stevie 27-Apr-21 08:47 PM

kk

What I might do is throw together a repository for all of the source stuff I have and maybe that could be linked to the page that's up on your wiki. The filesize is huge mainly because of audio stuff.

Still working on the contents of it but I'd like to have it set up for people interested in modding the game; having all of the textures and sounds/music named, etc

Fanamel 27-Apr-21 08:49 PM

I'm completely down to linking that once you're ready for it because that sounds perfect for this

1

Stevie 27-Apr-21 08:50 PM

Sweet.

Thanks again for setting up the page, I'll bug you when I find more sources lol

Fanamel 27-Apr-21 08:54 PM

Go for it lol, and no problem man. Thanks for sharing this neat stuff

In the about page of that website it says that all of the textures posted are public domain. No luck finding an actual source associated with them though.

pearce 29-Apr-21 03:07 PM

hi, not sure if this is the place to ask. trying to get the Bakku no Oni Blue images, when i download it none of the files are images, just 'file'. how do i view/convert them? It is the same for all Bakku no Oni downloads. Thanks

Speed Weed 29-Apr-21 03:10 PM

Do you see the folders when you extract the .7z?

pearce 29-Apr-21 03:15 PM

yes, i see all the folders. then the files inside them are corrupt/not images. could it be an extracting issue? i am on a mac atm, could try it in windows

pearce 29-Apr-21 03:30 PM

Tried it in windows, its the same, this is what i am seeing

Speed Weed 29-Apr-21 03:33 PM

this is the path with the ones

Speed Weed 29-Apr-21 03:36 PM

have fun looking through them :)

DorfDork 29-Apr-21 03:36 PM

you can try xnviewer to see if those files open

Speed Weed 29-Apr-21 03:36 PM

Fanamel 29-Apr-21 03:41 PM

those are .pict files aren't they?

We should probably mention in the pages what file formats these are and how to view them properly

I know those ones should be a lot higher resolution than the images in the windows folders

Fanamel 30-Apr-21 02:14 PM

damn that's sweet there's a fair bit more you're finding in there

Fanamel

damn that's sweet there's a fair bit more you're finding in there

Stevie 30-Apr-21 02:21 PM

Yeah I'm surprised by how many were in that initial directory. I've seen enough of the textures in-game to be able to sift through these for anything familiar.

I'll post some before/after screenshots. Just having a hard time finding where some of these are used haha

DorfDork 01-May-21 01:38 AM

@Stevie from that website you linked

Stevie 01-May-21 01:39 AM

Oh shit it's there too.

Stevie 01-May-21 01:39 AM

Thanks for pointing that out

Still though, in every instance it's 64x64

It's in the powerslave dump along with the daggerfall one.

I might be stumped on this one for a while lol

DorfDork 01-May-21 01:41 AM

oh the cd is called archweb textures

Stevie 01-May-21 01:42 AM

Holy shit that's more like it

Thank you!

Is there a dl on the wiki?

DorfDork 01-May-21 01:43 AM

nope, trying to find one

Stevie 01-May-21 01:49 AM

I don't think it's their texture, I think they pulled it from something else.

Every other texture on that site is in a decent resolution except for that one.

DorfDork 01-May-21 01:49 AM

yea I recognize other libraries being clustered into here

Stevie 01-May-21 01:50 AM

Well this is gonna be a hunt lol

DorfDork 01-May-21 01:52 AM

well that's odd

https://untroubled.org/backgrounds/

we could try emailing him and see where those textures originate from

Stevie 01-May-21 02:02 AM

Worth a shot; I don't mind sending the email if you haven't already.

He'd have probably forgotten already though

DorfDork 01-May-21 02:03 AM

feel free to send him one!

Stevie 01-May-21 02:12 AM

Just sent it, hopefully he'll know

Fanamel 01-May-21 08:57 AM

those rocks posted earlier show up in the ImageCELs CD-ROM

Although the rock formation is very slightly different nearing the edges

Stevie 01-May-21 11:05 AM

Ya there’s all sorts of variations of it it seems. Could be a really old one.

I’ll take a look later today; the sandstone looking texture to the left is used in 2049 I think too. If that’s not the exact one then it’s really close.

Fanamel

those rocks posted earlier show up in the ImageCELs CD-ROM

Stevie 01-May-21 10:51 PM

I just googled it and saw that your tweet was the 4th or 5th result. Has the disc still not been found?

Fanamel 01-May-21 11:02 PM

nope not a hint of it anywhere other than uploads of old magazines or documents listing it for sale

It was one of the first texture cd's made from the looks of it since the site dates the copyright around 1990

Stevie 01-May-21 11:03 PM

I'm going to mention it to a 2049 dev named Spencer Lindsay who did some of the art. I have a feeling that if they used those CDs then it'd be company property (so they wouldn't have been taken home) but it's worth asking. (edited)

Have you tried tracking down the owner of the domain from the time when the site was active?

Fanamel 01-May-21 11:08 PM

I have not honestly. The furthest my hunt went was attempting to use the contact info their company had which is dead it seems like

then digging around whatever pirating sites there were and what google had

Imagecels pops up a fair bit but only their later releases such as professional designer

I kind of assumed our best luck on getting it would be if a veteran 3D artists kept a copy of the files around

Stevie 01-May-21 11:11 PM

Spence is among them so he might be our best shot for a while, just sent him a message.

Fanamel 01-May-21 11:11 PM

sweet, really appreciate that

Stevie 01-May-21 11:13 PM

He does a lot of 3D stuff even back then so maybe he does have it laying around, worth a shot

God it'd be so perfect if he had it though lol

Realistically we might have to keep track of all of the games that has matches and contact a bunch of the 3d artists.

Fanamel 01-May-21 11:16 PM

it'd be a pretty big breakthrough to get that CD imo. Since you saw the rocks in both 2049 and daggerfall that adds a fair amount of other games potentially by those same companies

Oh btw I just did a little searching and came across this CD on ebay

it showed this which looks a lot like the fire you posted earlier

So I went ahead a bought it since it was only $15 bucks lol

Stevie 01-May-21 11:18 PM

Oh heck yeah thank you very much!

Here's the Rush Server if you'd like to join and break the news https://discord.gg/3sA5Pkd

you guys are all welcome to join and check it out too; lot's of rush fans so you probably won't know of most of the stuff going on lol

the 6th fire graphic is used in the game too I think

Fanamel 01-May-21 11:35 PM

oh cool that's good to know there could be more on here

I'll send a link to the server once the CD comes in and I got the files dumped

Fanamel 02-May-21 11:57 AM

that's pretty interesting to know because I thought this might be the case for some images which helps confirm that

It's possible the ones that pop up in SM64 weren't even from Nintendo owning the CD either and they just grabbed what they could find on their SGI machines (edited)

Stevie 02-May-21 12:57 PM

hmm maybe

it's old so it could have been bundled so perhaps the imagecel stuff was bundled with other libraries

Stevie 04-May-21 11:37 PM

Has anyone tried connecting to this server here through filezilla? If it hasn't been done then don't do it because it doesn't encrypt your credentials. Just wondering if it has been tried already.

Fanamel 05-May-21 12:37 AM

Not that I'm aware of at all actually.

Stevie 05-May-21 12:55 AM

I don't know if it's actually on there but the server is online.

Stevie 05-May-21 09:39 PM

I got into that server but there's only like 3 or 4 new notable textures. I did integrity checks for them and they're actually a smaller filesize than the ones included in the imagecels designer cd.

So that was a bust. You guys have all of the ones that are in caps.

If you guys want the entire folder I can either upload it as is or reformat everything if you guys are sketched out but I think everything is cool.

Fanamel 05-May-21 10:30 PM

damn, interesting though. appreciate the attempt at it

Stevie 05-May-21 11:15 PM

No prob. This thing is so illusive lol

I'm going to look into the possibility of international releases and if they were called anything in different languages.

This probably won't help but there's a huge amount of mirrors of the imagecel discs on arabic sites.

Idk I think it may have had a different name in other regions. Weird that this one disc seems to have matches with a bunch of different games from all over.

roovahlees 06-May-21 09:32 AM

is it possible that some people here know of not game matches, but movie matches?

I wanna find texture matches from titanic 1997

And sadly I know nothing still as far as movie matches go lol

Stevie 09-May-21 03:32 PM

@Fanamel oh heck yeah I can't wait to look through this

@Fanamel do you have a decent sized texture cd collection from buying them up?

Fanamel 09-May-21 03:35 PM

Not too many surprisingly, a lot of the CD's we got before other people had shipped to them and dumped such as Roovahlees and Pik

Stevie 09-May-21 04:00 PM

Oh wow okay, thank you Pik and Roovahlees for also buying these up!

What was the most expensive CD purchased so far?

Some of the msrps for these are insanely high but I doubt anyone would sell them that high after market lol

Fanamel 09-May-21 04:23 PM

ItsEasyActually has gotten batches for a good chunk too but I don't think he's on this server. I think the most we spent was with him when we pooled together like $150 for a batch of the bakku no oni cd's

As for the most expensive CD on its own I'm not sure honestly but the shipping prices from Japan can mark them up quite a bit

Stevie 09-May-21 04:25 PM

thats quite a lot

if you guys ever need another person to ease some of the cost for one of these I'm happy to help

Stevie 09-May-21 04:58 PM

This is the contents of the Frames folder within that CD converted from TGA to PNG

Idk if you guys use some sort of external preview for tga files or something but it irks me when I open a folder with every image preview being the gimp logo. This'll make it easier to view the contents without needing to open them up in a program.

Do you guys ever need images batch converted or is there not really a need? I’m going to convert a few more libraries just so it’s easy on my end but if you guys are interested I can upload them.

dominic 09-May-21 05:21 PM

I wanna see if there are matches in the skeuomorphic wii and 3ds interfaces

there's plenty of real life looking pictures in tomodachi life that I would love to find

like the ice cream shop that has a signt hat says "1889"

theres no dump of the game textures online anywhere I can find

actually I found one

Stevie 09-May-21 05:28 PM

@dominic You’ll likely have to start with dumping the textures yourself and familiarizing yourself with them. I’m not sure how to dump 3ds stuff but Dolphin has a built-in texture dumping feature that you could use for the Wii stuff.

The next step is to download and look through whatever is already provided on the archive.org or the wiki.

Or you can run your dumped images through reverse searches and see if you get any results.

dominic 09-May-21 05:34 PM

I used tineye and the city background is nyc

its somewhat edited to remove the water

theres also a version uncropped, with the water, and with less saturated colors, closer to the original stock image, but not exact

dominic 09-May-21 05:55 PM

the stage texture came up with this from nippon.com

these textures arent used in the game last time I checked

DorfDork 09-May-21 06:06 PM

@dominic can you link me the original textures

the right ones*

DorfDork

@dominic can you link me the original textures

dominic 09-May-21 06:07 PM

its a game of scrolling through pages, these are available in "sets" on the upper link

theres no easy way to search for a specific texture or set of textures on the site

DorfDork 09-May-21 06:07 PM

oh nice

@dominic so it looks like that new york picture is at least from 2010

those 3 images are similarly named so same library origin

Fanamel 09-May-21 07:36 PM

that blog makes it look like they were taken by the owner but I can't tell if they actually are

oh never mind just noticed the angles are a bit different in those images

DorfDork 09-May-21 07:39 PM

it does say a name in the header of the blog, I'll see if I can find anyone

Fanamel 09-May-21 07:39 PM

some of those tomodochi life photos look like personal photos while others look like stock

although they're edited a fair bit, you can see in a few of them the clone stamp tool was spammed across them a bit

A safe bet with Nintendo games is to dig through the sozaijiten images of course, wouldn't surprise me if the clouds are from those

DorfDork 09-May-21 07:43 PM

I did try to find some images in sozai, specifically New York. Couldn't find that image

Fanamel

some of those tomodochi life photos look like personal photos while others look like stock

dominic 09-May-21 11:51 PM

I think some of the photos are in house nintendo stuff because no matches can be found

I wanna find the background for the 1889 ice cream shop

DorfDork

@dominic so it looks like that new york picture is at least from 2010

dominic 09-May-21 11:53 PM

that's why I didn't recognize it as new york city at first, because in 2010 the one world trade center hadn't been finished yet

DorfDork 09-May-21 11:54 PM

I messaged someone that may have been the photographer, no idea if they will respond

dominic 09-May-21 11:55 PM

2010 was a long time ago so I doubt it

DorfDork 09-May-21 11:55 PM

You'd be surprised

Fanamel 09-May-21 11:58 PM

this looks to be the same wall MtH was talking about before with Sonic Adventure

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twelve-angled_stone

Twelve-angled stone

The twelve-angled stone is an archeological artefact in Cuzco, Peru. It was part of a stone wall of an Inca palace, and is considered to be a national heritage object. The stone is currently part of a wall of the palace of the Archbishop of Cuzco.

Fanamel 10-May-21 01:32 PM

I just got the heads up for something that could be really useful

Some dudes in the GTA community have been finding a lot of source textures for years now apparently and I got a DM from someone in the scene linking some of it

I guess that Russian guy should have a ton of texture sets in his collection

dominic 10-May-21 01:51 PM

do you think the fisheye image of the flowers used for the reflection on mario was actually taken with a fisheye lens or just distorted digitally

roovahlees 10-May-21 01:53 PM

I believe it's distorted digitally

there are 2 variations of that reflection (edited)

dominic 10-May-21 01:53 PM

whats different about them

roovahlees 10-May-21 01:54 PM

One of them has an extra distortion around the edge of the image

dominic 10-May-21 01:54 PM

do you have them on hand?

roovahlees 10-May-21 01:54 PM

let me check

dominic 10-May-21 02:00 PM

odd

roovahlees 10-May-21 02:00 PM

I'm not sure though.Maybe there's just one version (edited)

The first one is the original (edited)

dominic 10-May-21 02:03 PM

where'd you find the second revision

roovahlees 10-May-21 02:04 PM

I don't remember who posted that image. It was more than a year ago on SM64 Port server I think

dominic 10-May-21 02:05 PM

well it helps me to remove the fisheye

Speed Weed 10-May-21 02:19 PM

I've been wanting to look for textures in the old MK games and the old RE games

I'm not too sure as where to start

So far I've got cobblestone in umk3 and two possible matches for marble columns

roovahlees

I believe it's distorted digitally

dominic 10-May-21 02:21 PM

I think its an actual fisheye lens

because if it wasn't, using undistort would make a regular looking image

not a super wide angle one

1

no lens is that wide angle without fisheye distortion

especially not in the 90s

Eugene 15-May-21 03:39 PM

Does anyone happen to recognise these textures/images/backgrounds? (edited)

They're from some Super Mario 64 DS hack.

I think they look very nice.

I think they're probably from another game but idk.

Ah, so the wall texture appears to be from Mario Kart 7. (edited)

BlueYoshi (57EML) 21-May-21 12:33 PM

Found this in the MKW manual (EUR, FR, 2013 revision) "Blue Marble image provided by NASA" could this be the globe's texture source?

⭐⭐⭐ 21-May-21 03:17 PM

This is Blue Marble.

https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/2181/the-blue-marble

The Blue Marble

Using a collection of satellite images and data, scientists and visualizers stitched together months of observations of Earth’s land surface, oceans, sea ice, and clouds into a seamless, true-color mosaic.

However!

They may mean Blue Marble: Next Generation! Here.

Pik 21-May-21 04:28 PM

It definitely looks similar with the lack of clouds, but in the MKWii shot it looks like more of North America is visible

https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/0304/bluemarble2k_big.jpg Almost like this photo, but without the clouds visible

⭐⭐⭐ 21-May-21 04:45 PM

I do believe Blue Marble: Next Generation is a set of several images, so maybe one of em is the image! I'll have to check later

Romsstar 28-May-21 09:08 AM

Hello everyone. I'm currently working on trying to find Texture Sources of the game Digimon World Re:Digitize for PSP. I'm actually unsure whether sources actually do exist but I have concept art available and in that concept art the artists references some very obscure signs. I do know Japanese so I tried to google them but came up short. There is the chance that the artist invented them all but there are so many and so different that I find it hard to believe. I tried my luck but so far I don't have much. Maybe some of you guys with your trained eyes recognize a thing or two? (edited)

Like this is the concept art and in the game a lot of these signs are found like this as well

I could swear I saw that chocolate one somewhere before but I'm not sure...

The game is only from 2012 but still that's almost 10 years ago

⭐⭐⭐ 28-May-21 09:13 AM

Some of these look like Chinese, but I can read a few of the Japanese ones. (:

Romsstar 28-May-21 09:13 AM

Oh wow, Captain Byte, I'm a big fan. I watch your work on twitter

⭐⭐⭐ 28-May-21 09:13 AM

Oh, thank you!

Romsstar 28-May-21 09:13 AM

A few read nonsense to me, so they might be edited

but I'm thinking an artist needed some inspiration, so the originals should exist in some form? At least that's what I'm thinking

I tried Sozaijiten and Bakku no Oni and Google Image search so far

⭐⭐⭐ 28-May-21 09:15 AM

Ohhh, you want image sources, not translations. Well, let's see...

Romsstar 28-May-21 09:16 AM

I'm sorry, maybe I explained myself badly. I'm actually a translator myself, so I don't need translations. As a matter of fact the game was only released in Japan and I translated the whole game and released a patch of it back in 2015

so yeah I'm trying to find which kind of signs the artist might have used

⭐⭐⭐ 28-May-21 09:18 AM

This one reminds me of a Japanese drink, but I can't remember what it's called-

OH!

IT'S A PARODY OF ORONAMIN C

https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FOronamin_C&psig=AOvVaw34GLZ643_7dc9Kn4-Nc8n2&ust=1622305152691000&source=images&cd=vfe&ved=0CA0QjhxqFwoTCLDX9Orj7PACFQAAAAAdAAAAABAD

oop-

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oronamin_C

Oronamin C

Oronamin C Drink (オロナミンCドリンク, Oronamin Shī Dorinku), produced by Otsuka Chemical Holdings Co., Ltd., (distributed and sold by Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co.) is a carbonated beverage available in Japan. It is commonly called Oronamin C or Oronamin. Its name is similar to the Takeda Pharmaceutical Co. product "Arinamin" and its name comes from Otsuka'...

Romsstar 28-May-21 09:20 AM

I was wondering maybe KANTA is supposed to be Fanta?

because the one right next to it looks a lot like the coke sign

also wow, amazing

⭐⭐⭐ 28-May-21 09:22 AM

Looks like it! HI・SET might be a parody of HI-TEC-C pens

test

Internet.

Anywho. It may just be by name

https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/91o8adi1hKL._AC_SL1500_.jpg

Romsstar 28-May-21 09:25 AM

How do you know these things? It's so impressive. really

⭐⭐⭐ 28-May-21 09:26 AM

I enjoy Japanese content!

Romsstar 28-May-21 09:27 AM

So do I, I mean I studied Japanese for 7 years and yet I never heard of Oronamin C until today

⭐⭐⭐ 28-May-21 09:27 AM

This movie sign here reminds me of Clouds Over The Hill, but I doubt that's what it is, and I haven't seen it myself

https://www.dvdplanetstore.pk/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/d4gFqk80YmXfThpIJtxwvheSRzV.jpg

I know for certain the drink sign parodies Oronamin C, but I'm just guessing on the rest haha

Romsstar 28-May-21 09:29 AM

The HI-TEC one makes sense yet I would have thought there would be a close match to the sign. Like with the Oronamin it's a near perfect match so I have no doubts you are right about that one

But this alone confirms an important thesis I had: That the signs are mostly edited or parodies of existing things so I can't expect to find actual matches

(edited)

⭐⭐⭐ 28-May-21 09:30 AM

Again, just a guess... could parody something else, the pen was just what reminded me of it. Though HI-TEC-C pens are gel pens, and the HI-SET pen looks like a fountain pen...

But they're definitely hand-drawn parodies!

Romsstar 28-May-21 09:31 AM

yeah, that's already very important to know. Because a lot of the textures ingame are sourced from the concept art, so looking for matches in the sense of textures will be a futile task

In a matter of minutes you brought more sense into this than I could in the whole day. Truly amazing

Also most important: Thank you. I didn't expect someone would be able to recognize something right of the bat that fast

⭐⭐⭐ 28-May-21 09:37 AM

Oop, sorry! Got a bit distracted... it's my pleasure!

Romsstar 28-May-21 09:38 AM

coincidence? I don't think so

also with the KANTA right next to it?

it's just a guess too though

The chocolate one is killing me though because I swear I saw that face when I was in Japan

Eugene 01-Jun-21 07:51 AM

Are these islands/mountains far away from a photograph too?

If so, which real-world islands/mountains are they?

Holo 01-Jun-21 07:54 AM

hmmm

I think its this?

Eugene 01-Jun-21 07:56 AM

Huh, so they cut out one mountain out of this whole bunch of mountains? Hmmm

Holo 01-Jun-21 07:56 AM

yeah, Nintendo is known for editing photos together

Eugene 01-Jun-21 07:57 AM

Aight

So do we know where these mountains are in the real world? Where was the original photo taken?

Holo 01-Jun-21 07:57 AM

I don't think we do

anyways

what I was saying with Nintendo editing images

like how these two are used to make the beta version of the Cool Cool Mountain Painting

Eugene 01-Jun-21 08:01 AM

I'm not sure what the beta version of the Cool Cool Mountain Painting looks like

Holo 01-Jun-21 08:03 AM

its just that image thrown into a painting frame lol

Eugene 01-Jun-21 08:03 AM

Ooh

Holo 01-Jun-21 08:04 AM

also flipped

Eugene 01-Jun-21 08:04 AM

Also apparently this is the metal texture?

Holo 01-Jun-21 08:04 AM

yeah it is

Eugene 01-Jun-21 08:04 AM

How the hell did someone come up with the idea to use this texture?

Holo 01-Jun-21 08:05 AM

I think they just choose it cause it was probably a cool reflection map to them

Eugene 01-Jun-21 08:06 AM

Hmm

Stevie 02-Jun-21 10:27 PM

Not exactly an entire library here, but this book contains pictures that were eventually used in Doom 1 and 2, and TES Daggerfall. Lots of animal/monster faces came from here. I figure it's worth post here.

Nightmares in the Sky

Nightmares in the Sky: Gargoyles and Grotesques is a coffee table book about architectural gargoyles, photographed by f-stop Fitzgerald with accompanying text by Stephen King, and published in 1988. An excerpt was published in the September 1988 issue of Penthouse. Some of the images in the book were used as textures in the video games Doom and ...

Hello!

I come from the Render96 server with a question, can I post it here?

Pik 03-Jun-21 02:26 PM

Ask away

Folkin 03-Jun-21 02:27 PM

Alright, so I thought i knew with what equipment they worked but I can't find the source anymore, anyways the company was (is technically) called "WhoopeeCamp and was set up in 1996 -1997 by Tokuro Fujiwara, They created the Tomba games for on the PS1 and Extermination, until they went defunct. Although Tokuro is now woroking as a freelancer under the WhoopeeCamp company again with the latest game being the Ghost and Goblins remaster. They worked together with Deepspace to create Extermination.

But I'm mostly focused on the Tomba games. (Tomba 1 released in 1997 and Tomba 2 in 1999.)

I also posted this image as an example of one of the areas of the game.

I might also have the name of software they used but I can't find it for now, but I'm searching.

Pik 03-Jun-21 02:42 PM

Obligatory, but I have to wonder if this texture was edited from the famous cobble_stone

Folkin 03-Jun-21 02:42 PM

Ah it was LightWave!

Pik 03-Jun-21 02:42 PM

Oh nice!

Folkin 03-Jun-21 02:42 PM

Somebody said it was yes.

Pik

Obligatory, but I have to wonder if this texture was edited from the famous cobble_stone

Speed Weed 03-Jun-21 02:43 PM

pretty sure it is

Folkin 03-Jun-21 02:44 PM

i tried fitting the texture on it but I guess I suck haha, couldn't get it to fit.

Pik 03-Jun-21 02:44 PM

It was probably edited pretty heavily, along with a color change

The original texture actually doesn't loop super well, so each instance of it seems to be edited in some way

Folkin 03-Jun-21 02:45 PM

Alright.

Speed Weed 03-Jun-21 02:45 PM

oh yeah definitely edited but i'm pretty sure it's a son of cobblestone

Folkin 03-Jun-21 02:45 PM

Now I was wondering if there are any texture CD's that are connected to LightWave? (edited)

Here are 2 more areas from the game that might help.

Stevie 05-Jun-21 04:11 AM

After reading that; there’s no way capcom will agree to paying 16 mil for that.

I could see them settling for like 500k if that, 16 mil is a lot to ask for.

The CD being bundled for free with textures that aren’t supposed to be used commercially might be a problem though. Can’t wait to see how the case will play out.

Eugene 06-Jun-21 10:24 AM

Not quite game-related, but I was wondering what you think about these dark clouds. Do you think they were just drawn or could they be from a (photographic) texture?

Hey guyd gotta question. As a game developer who is need of textures what is my best way of aquiring textures i can use and not worry about copyright etc

Fanamel 13-Jun-21 02:43 PM

You might do this already but the easiest way I know of is to dig around on google for free texture sites and take a look at what their license is

https://ambientcg.com/

ambientCG - Free Public Domain PBR Materials

Free materials never looked this good! Get 1000+ PBR materials and textures for free under the Public Domain license.

this site for instance lists it all under Creative Commons CC0 1.0 Universal License. which means you can use it for anything without giving credit

Texture Matches found in San Francisco Rush 2049

4

Do you guys think the format is good? I have the game running in dolphin and use a hotkey to toggle the texture(s) through a texture pack. Dunno if I'd do this for other games since I'm so focused on Rush at the moment, but it was really cool to find these and implement them.

roovahlees 15-Jun-21 05:36 AM

awesome video Stevie

Fanamel 15-Jun-21 06:27 AM

That video is cool. I really like how you showed them being replaced in-game and showed the original textures with the sources. Helps put in perspective what's going on for people not as familiar with how textures work.

Stevie 15-Jun-21 02:20 PM

I was going to explain it in the beginning at first but I feel like it's easy to pick up on. Hardest part was culling unnecessary context and footage.

also I kept on finding new matches haha

I'm hoping the algorithm picks up on the video and get new people interested in texture matching.

They’re not the ones I was looking for but I’ll take what I can get.

I actually found them by googling the contents of the file names. Eventually I got a torrent link to these. No luck yet for the basic CD-Rom though.

Also if you guys want to reupload those to an archive.org account go right ahead.

Retro64 18-Jun-21 01:21 PM

@Stevie Do you know what year these are from?

Stevie 18-Jun-21 01:24 PM

No idea. Does right clicking and opening properties show it? If not then I have a readme blurb that I pulled from the ftp link a while back, that might have it.

Retro64 18-Jun-21 01:26 PM

i'm unable to download it as of right now due to it's size could you post that readme?

I have been thinking of starting some kind of digital archaeology project to unearth lost treasures for the fun of it. A video about the cobblestone texture by Kid Leaves Stoop randomly served to me by the magical YouTube algo. I then remember that my city is the home city to Bioware and Beamdog and wondered if there was a way to obtain old archived data/disks/tapes/CDs direct from source? Has it been tried? Is there info amongst you people on how best to approach, etc? (edited)

Awesome, I'll read it right now.

Stevie 29-Jun-21 04:03 AM

There's probably a decent amount of first party dreamcast game matches you can find in these. I can't wait to get a hold of them.

I may have found another 2049 match in the previews but it's too hard for me to tell at the moment.

MtH 29-Jun-21 04:07 AM

mhm, fanamel actually found an oot match surprisingly (edited)

Stevie 29-Jun-21 04:10 AM

Okay, now I really want to get ahold of this lol

And I felt like I was really grasping at this one, can't wait to see the full res image.

Wow this one really did get around then lmao

This is actually huge news for me because this means this may have been a texture library used for the CG textures used in the game; I've never been able to source anything from them until now. (edited)

MtH 29-Jun-21 04:16 AM

we're getting wraptures two, havent found any listings yet for 1. might end up emailing the Form and Function founder to see if there's still any way to get it

if you come across any though, lmk

Stevie 29-Jun-21 04:17 AM

I'll dig around for it.

Although they're getting dumped right? I thought that someone here had the discs already.

MtH 29-Jun-21 04:20 AM

KerbalAwesomebuilderX has wraptures extreme3d, and some versions of Macromedia extreme3d with textures bundled

talked abt that briefly in #pc-general-talk if you wanna catch up

Oooh I see, I thought that those 3 discs had the same stuff in the previews.

more specifically where do we find texture discs

I usually dig through yahoo auctions japan or ebay for image/texture CD's then dig through archive.org, wayback machine, google if there's any uploads or better info on them

You kinda just find them by trying out different search terms or reverse image searching based on what you know from previous info

Tomahawker 30-Jun-21 07:47 AM

Gonna dump some info here. I found a small line of image/texture CD's called PhotoGear made around 1993 by a company named Image Club Graphics. At first it looked like a small random company but it turns out they were owned by Adobe and their archived website states they were one of the first to create clipart CD's. I don't really know if these PhotoGear CD's got used in anything notable but I thought it was worth mentioning here

Stevie 01-Jul-21 09:37 PM

We should put a bounty on this CD. I'd gladly add $50 to a pool.

On the brightside the resolutions aren't anything to write home about.

136x173 is the original res for a tree in rush; it's a really small size for something on a cd.

Fanamel 01-Jul-21 09:55 PM

Yeh if we do get this CD it won't be too useful for getting HD textures out of it. It just helps figure out what was using it and how often it was used, plus the novelty of people being able to say they're using the same textures the old devs had for their own mods/hacks.

I could toss some money in too. I just wonder if the subject would be too niche for people to consider hunting it down for money

Stevie 01-Jul-21 10:07 PM

A lot of people on twitter seem to really like it, I'm really surprised by a lot of the traction your texture matching posts make.

Fanamel 01-Jul-21 10:24 PM

I'm a little surprised by it too honestly. It's pretty nice to see people enjoy the subject but tbh I've been kinda shying away from it a bit just because I'd like to create more of my own stuff soon instead of growing the image of being that one guy who finds textures lol

Stevie 01-Jul-21 10:37 PM

That's understandable, I always bounce between projects. Whenever I get bored of one I pick up another. It's really easy to burn out when focusing on one thing.

Stevie

SonicChao 01-Jul-21 10:49 PM

Wait are the textures really that small in the CD?

Stevie 01-Jul-21 10:51 PM

According to the text file it is

2049's res for it is 128x128 which isn't much smaller.

I looked through ever one of those, and couldn't find any matches for any of the textures in it, unfortunately.

Mahthrbertr 13-Jul-21 04:28 AM

I just don't want to come across as entitled, I don't want to be a dick

Stevie 13-Jul-21 04:29 AM

Some advice if you haven’t found any textures whatsoever: dump as many textures as you can find and run it through a reverse search like tineye. The best images are the ones that look or are photographic like rocks, wood, grass, or metals. If you get matches then it’s highly likely not the original and probably from a cd. Also factor in region/year when looking through cds.

Also if you end up dumping the textures and uploading them somewhere I’ll take a look through to see if anything matches the Atari game I work with.

Mahthrbertr 13-Jul-21 04:31 AM

this is not a game, it's an icarly dvd, but I found the stock photo they use for the camera icon

Download digital video camera (front-side view) Stock Photo and explore similar images at Adobe Stock.

its a canon gl2 but with the 3ccd emblem and branding somehow taken off???

ThreePlanet 01-Aug-21 07:53 PM

You mean the watermark? That's probably because they bought the image

MtH 02-Aug-21 06:24 AM

nah they mean the branding on the original camera

the logos are stripped off on the adobe stock image

because of copyright, i imagine (edited)

SonicChao 12-Aug-21 04:22 PM

does anyone know if the posters that used in Kindergarten Cop made sufficiently for the movie? Since it might explain a bit more of the connection with Silent Hill

DorfDork 12-Aug-21 04:50 PM

I assume its from an autodesk library based on the black and yellow stripes

Stevie 13-Aug-21 08:14 PM

@Fanamel Do you have any interest in documenting fonts used in games with examples of in-game use?

The idea came up because I wanted to add some more matches to the 2049 page. I also have several fonts saved that were used for 2049, mainly for ui and billboards. (edited)

Fanamel 13-Aug-21 08:59 PM

Also VisualDisk N-3 was dumped by the beta recreation guys. I thought that did get uploaded to archive but I don't see it either

and yeah I was about to mention I could give you editing permission if you'd be interested in adding in things yourself.

can someone help me find the brick wall texture in the back?

ThreePlanet 14-Aug-21 02:17 PM

These ones are a lot harder I would say because the developer could have gotten it from Internet as a solo image instead of a volume, which makes it a lot harder, but I'm gonna see

And the fact that also just appears here

can someone help me find the brick wall texture in the back?

TechnoCookie 16-Aug-21 08:06 AM

My best guess as to where this is from is that it’s either a stock image Scott found on Google or a photograph he took himself

Have you tried contacting him about where this is from?

🎃Urall🎃 16-Aug-21 08:19 AM

its probably a stock image

and contacting to scott is like impossible

TechnoCookie 16-Aug-21 08:20 AM

Didn’t he use to be really open with fans?

the cobblestone

i found this in a tf1 video

its the original 2fort

DeityOfToxin 19-Aug-21 01:29 PM

closer image

Speed Weed 19-Aug-21 01:30 PM

that's not cobblestone

DeityOfToxin 19-Aug-21 01:30 PM

its medieval brick wall of some sort

Fanamel 19-Aug-21 01:34 PM

I wasn't certain at first but now I'm kinda curious because some of these shapes are pretty similar

Speed Weed 19-Aug-21 01:34 PM

I don't see any of the patterns even if i flipped the image

Fanamel 19-Aug-21 01:35 PM

these two shapes specifically is what got my attention

I wouldn't know where to find the texture though without ripping it right out, I don't know if this came with quake or it was made for the mod (edited)

Speed Weed 19-Aug-21 01:40 PM

it's missing the little square right on the ridge

and the thin brick right on top

Fanamel 19-Aug-21 01:42 PM

I know but that doesn't mean it couldn't be edited is all, sometimes they went an extra distance with these

MtH 19-Aug-21 04:41 PM

they werent saying it's cobble_stone lol they were just talking about the type of wall

TechnoCookie

visually different but the characteristics are the same to the point where it could be the one

SonicChao 25-Aug-21 01:48 PM

Hey @Fanamel sorry for the ping but I was wondering if it's okay to advertise the server on my Twitter? Since I'm currently making a HD Pack for Sonic Adventure 2 and this server was the reason this project exists in the first place I wanted to advertise the server to not only help out with finding matches for SA2 but just for people who would like to help find matches.

Fanamel 25-Aug-21 02:00 PM

Sure I don't mind that if you feel like it would help out your own searching

SonicChao 25-Aug-21 02:05 PM

DorfDork 25-Sep-21 12:18 PM

hello

Fonix 25-Sep-21 12:19 PM

Ive been looking for graphics and was wondering if those render cds are online. As I'm wanting to make a game that looks and feels like an64 game

Probably should have finished this video im watcihg to learn I can find the stuff on archive.org

Though I wonder if this WIki on the website would be more accesable on those wiki pages that fandoms usually use. They have one for sounds

DorfDork 25-Sep-21 12:28 PM

I'm supposed to work on the sound pages for the wiki but I've been busy with work

Fonix 25-Sep-21 12:30 PM

I'm working on a project that wants to make a game that looks and feel like a N64 game. Are the soundfonts of the games copyrighted?

And if I was to use the textures from the website would I run into copyright issues as well?

DorfDork 25-Sep-21 12:32 PM

I'm not a legal professional so I can't say with 100% certainty

Fonix 25-Sep-21 12:35 PM

Which CD was Super Mario 64 heavily referenced on

I think it was the one that starts with an S and i think I found it

DorfDork 25-Sep-21 12:42 PM

Remi 25-Sep-21 12:42 PM

If by soundfonts you mean samples then yes but not by Nintendo

Fonix 25-Sep-21 12:42 PM

Are the textures able to be used, like has their licence ran out for these textures to be free domain

Remi

If by soundfonts you mean samples then yes but not by Nintendo

Fonix 25-Sep-21 12:43 PM

So I couldn't use the the soundfonts from a game like Super Mario 64 in a new game

Remi 25-Sep-21 12:44 PM

Not legally, but it's not very likely anyone would do anything about it.

I'd suggest not using soundfonts to begin with

Fonix 25-Sep-21 12:46 PM

Hmm... Then id ether have to compress the audio to make it sound retro, unless theres soundfonts that exists free on the internet

Remi

Not legally, but it's not very likely anyone would do anything about it.

TechnoCookie 25-Sep-21 12:46 PM

Undertale uses Earthbound samples so I don’t see how that’d be any different with Mario 64 samples

Remi 25-Sep-21 12:47 PM

Still not legal in Undertale

but again

Not likely anyone would do anything about it

Nintendo/HAL doesn't own the copyright to those samples

TechnoCookie 25-Sep-21 12:47 PM

Exactly

Remi 25-Sep-21 12:47 PM

The companies that do don't care/are gone

Minus Spectrasonics

Plus it's more fun to build up your own personal sound palette for a game at least to me

TechnoCookie 25-Sep-21 12:55 PM

I think you can make something that feels like your own through sampling though, just as long as you aren’t rapping over an existing song with a trap beat over it

Remi 25-Sep-21 12:55 PM

Secondly if you're just streaming music and not doing a midi/module playback you can get something called TAL-Sampler for pretty cheap. That'll let you do all the compressing in the sampler and you can just keep the original audio untouched.

Fonix 25-Sep-21 12:56 PM

Like converting it to a mp3

Remi 25-Sep-21 12:56 PM

You don't need to convert it to mp3

Reducing the sample rate and bit depth is all you need.

Preferably with control over how the audio get aliased which TAL-Sampler lets you do as well

Fonix 25-Sep-21 12:59 PM

Well I dont have 60 dollars to get TAL Sampler

But I'll keep the software in mind

Remi 25-Sep-21 12:59 PM

You can also do it with OpenMPT albeit slower

and you'll have to save copies of the samples

100% free though

if you don't mind dubiously legal abandonware sample CDs

TechnoCookie

I think you can make something that feels like your own through sampling though, just as long as you aren’t rapping over an existing song with a trap beat over it

Remi 25-Sep-21 01:02 PM

Absolutely, but still if you're just using the entire Super Mario 64 soundfont for your own game with its own aesthetic then it can start to come across as lazy or worse unfitting.

Take all this with a grain of salt, if this is just some hobby thing you're messing around with to not make money with then do whatever you want

This is just advice from someone that has almost gotten screwed over audio copyright and would like others to not fall into the same pitfalls potentially

Fonix 25-Sep-21 01:10 PM

Care to explain?

Remi 25-Sep-21 01:14 PM

I released a trip-hop EP around 2011/2012 with some samples from old sample CDs and got a notice for it. Turns out those old sample CDs don't always clear the rights for the samples they sell you. I got told to remove the samples in question or else. They probably went easy on me because the album barely made any money back then so I did what they asked.

Sample CDs from the late 80s on through the 90s were the wild west

Fonix 25-Sep-21 01:18 PM

Then how does TheFatRat get away with using samples in his music?

Remi 25-Sep-21 01:18 PM

Now-a-days the companies that managed to keep selling their old stuff has to have a big disclaimer saying "You can't use these in a commercial production without first getting the rights"

Fonix 25-Sep-21 01:19 PM

I know in Time Lapse he uses a yoshi sound effect and maybe the bongos

Remi 25-Sep-21 01:21 PM

That's the neat thing about copyright, if the rights owner(record execs and CEOs mostly) don't care to pursue you for it then you can just get away with it.

I don't know which effect he used, but the old SNES Yoshi sound was just a manipulated orchestra hit sample iirc

I'm not entirely sure how that changes the legality of it especially since the orchestra hit in question was everywhere and was probably lifted from a record

Just as another example, the string ensemble sound used in A Link to the Past shows up under three different company's catalogs in some form

I don't think anyone these days knows who actually owns the original recording

lol

Edd 25-Sep-21 05:58 PM

i gotta go through all the early aughts/late 90s shit i played now

specifically two games though, one especially because it just straight up had a bunch of stock .bmp backgrounds

peashooterman3 25-Sep-21 06:12 PM

lol

Edd 25-Sep-21 06:16 PM

on the other hand the other one uses only roland and groovemaker for its songs so maybe the textures are just as easily unravelled off of a single lead

probably not though

Edd 25-Sep-21 06:24 PM

two different lego loco backgrounds have this same sorta pattern on them- and in the exact same positions, too! maybe i can isolate it somehow, if i can find the edges of the tiling. (edited)

The book apparently came with a CD with the images on it too, but I rarely see that part mentioned and it doesn't seem likely any resellers kept the CD's with their books

Last I saw a listing it was being overpriced due to the news related to it at like $200

if I find a sfx from a game/series listed here on the discord that was reused in other medias, should I mention it in the respective channel, or only if I think I found the original use of it? just curious, cause I remembered finding some DK64 sfx used in other medias recently

DorfDork 09-Oct-21 10:25 AM

If you can provide some sort of link to the clip use that with your post. The post should also include the descriptive usage of the sound, the location of the sound file, and the name of the sound file whenever possible.

Metalex123 09-Oct-21 10:27 AM

ah, so let's say I found a DK64 SFX in another media, I would need to find a clip from DK64 of the SFX, and a clip of the other media too that shows the SFX, along with a description of the usage of that SFX in both DK64 and the other media? (edited)

DorfDork 09-Oct-21 10:28 AM

For that case specifically since you don't know the original sound file, you can name the dk64 SFX as the source. Later on if we figure it out we can update the finding and knock both of them out

Metalex123 09-Oct-21 10:29 AM

alright, I'll try finding clips and send it then

but what if it's from something like a TV show? should I just send the name of the episode/show and the time where it's used, or send a link to see the episode legally if possible?

sry for asking lots of questions btw

DorfDork 09-Oct-21 10:31 AM

Name of tv show/episode/timestamp

Metalex123 09-Oct-21 10:31 AM

alright, will do! thanks!

Metalex123 09-Oct-21 10:51 AM

I've just added a match on the Donkey Kong 64 channel, is the format okay? first time doing that so not sure if it's done well or not

DorfDork 09-Oct-21 11:01 AM

looks good, I miss dk64 I need to play it again

Metalex123 09-Oct-21 11:04 AM

its my fav game of all time :)

people often criticise the backtracking in that game, but I dont think its that bad imo

Question for the texture hunters here; Do any of these album covers look familiar to you?

The beetle is the only one I've been able to find so far since it's such an easy key word search. I don't know classic rock art covers that well so this is going to be quite the search but I really want to find all of them.

Wait give this album a listen if you haven't already, it's so good.

Mezzanine's great.

What game is this out of?

Edd

Stevie 10-Oct-21 04:19 AM

SF Rush 2049. I don’t have a pic of it in the game on mobile but it’s a building texture from the race track “Night.”

Edd 10-Oct-21 04:20 AM

I see.

I'm gonna look for this one first, it seems easily identifiable and is probably some cool IDM or trance shit (edited)

Stevie 10-Oct-21 04:22 AM

I thought that it might have been nirvana’s never mind but with the baby edited out, I’m not sure as to how the extent is that they edited out copywrited material

Edd 10-Oct-21 04:23 AM

wat

it looks nothing alike.

The blue gradient matches closely

Also what the heck that might be it lol

That has to be it

Edd 10-Oct-21 04:24 AM

oh

found it simultaneously lmao (edited)

Stevie 10-Oct-21 04:24 AM

Nice you guys are awesome

Edd 10-Oct-21 04:24 AM

seems cupscale+yandex is the rule here

DorfDork 10-Oct-21 04:24 AM

yandex is russian god google

love it so much

Stevie 10-Oct-21 04:24 AM

What model did you use for cupscale?

DorfDork

yandex is russian god google

Edd 10-Oct-21 04:25 AM

no dice on this one yet, the "LOSER" is probably slapped on or something

Stevie 10-Oct-21 04:28 AM

Someone in a different server thought it was this. It doesn’t match up when scaled down though.

Edd 10-Oct-21 04:29 AM

I doubt it anyways (edited)

Got nothing for random dudes running

Stevie 10-Oct-21 04:30 AM

Also the game is from 1999

Stevie 10-Oct-21 04:30 AM

Yeah stumped on that one too, looks like a weird abbey road

Edd 10-Oct-21 04:31 AM

I am convinced it's half real albums and half stock images

Stevie 10-Oct-21 04:32 AM

These are such non-mainstream album picks that it’s hard to know

Edd 10-Oct-21 04:32 AM

this one just looks like astro lounge and superunknown thrown into a blender

Stevie 10-Oct-21 04:32 AM

I thought it was a sound garden album but edited at first glance

That’s like the closest I can find

Edd 10-Oct-21 04:33 AM

...i just said it was vaguely similar to superunknown. (edited)

Stevie 10-Oct-21 04:35 AM

Sorry missed it, just saw that you posted the pic

Edd 10-Oct-21 04:36 AM

no worries, yea

roovahlees 10-Oct-21 03:36 PM

Here's an upscale

CorenDot 11-Oct-21 07:30 AM

Being interested in retro 3d graphics i stumbled upon all this movement. I don't know if this is the correct place for ask but i would be interested on obtaining some of these textures to recreate the feel of the 3D environment back then, what are my best options? Can i buy some of these Retro Texture CDs nowadays?

DorfDork 11-Oct-21 08:31 AM

@CorenDot the ones I'm able to upload on archive.org are there for anyone to download. https://archive.org/details/@render96

CorenDot 11-Oct-21 08:32 AM

@DorfDork yea i'm looking at them right now, does this mean that it could be used for commercial projects? I'm not planning to use them as they are, but modifying them further in other edition software.

DorfDork 11-Oct-21 08:33 AM

no clue on the legality on commercial products.

CorenDot 11-Oct-21 08:33 AM

i see

DorfDork 11-Oct-21 08:34 AM

most of the companies are gone so I don't know what would happen

CorenDot 11-Oct-21 08:35 AM

I found these resources interesting due to their already low resolution, but may be better to not take the risk

MtH 12-Oct-21 03:26 AM

its worth looking into company history, and where the rights reside. may have been bought out, may have just dissolved

lot of stock providers did get bought up by gettyimages, shutterstock, adobe etc.

and if you can actually secure a physical copy of a disc, i think you should technically have the appropriate license as well
