Hm... it looks like the sun you made has smoke or dust, whereas in the original those dark areas are just non-glowy parts (where the backdrop is showing through)

I agree.  I think the ideal goal here should be faithful re-creations of the cutscenes as a whole, not pixel-perfect exact matching of every single color and effect.  There's no need to break out the eyedropper tool. :p

Ha! I hope not. That would be way more tedious than what I'm already doing...

Tedious but cranked out at an amazing pace :P

Hm... You think you can get your hands on some high-res textures?  That close-up of the Lucy is a bit jarring.

From some preview screenshots from back when people were waiting for FS1 to come out, found on the Descent Network D2 site.

That is definitely not higher res than what I grabbed out of the VPs. Unless you are expecting me to remake the textures at a higher res...

Ya, just to be sure, I guess the consensus is that the Lucy is Greenish colored when in subspace, and fades into red after exiting.  That's what IceyJones did in his Vasuda-Toasting Cutscene.  (BTW, is that going to be re-done in higher-res, too?  AFAIK it's 480p now, correct?)

There is a lot of red in the original EndGame. Really, the only green is behind the antenna things on the front. But the more I get this thing lit properly, he more it looks like it needs a higher-res texture... I guess I could redo it... but that is gonna add a significant chunk of time to the project.

Yeah... I think Icey did it pretty much that way.. it was kinda cool.  Have you seen his cutscene? I linked to it on YouTube a bit back, I'm not sure if you got a chance to take a look.

By the way... did I mention that I hate texturing? If anyone feels up to putting together a green/red Luci texture in super high res, you will be my greatest hero. Otherwise, I'll just have to do it myself...
