Unofficial Tex Murphy

Check out what I made this weekend
(turn your sound on )

It's the Intro we all know and love!
* I decided to try to 're-master' it! *

*I'm sorry about the size/low quality; it speeds things up:
-The actual remade clip is 30fps, 720 x 405

Hope everyone likes!

Wow! That is pretty dang remarkable! Good job! I would love to see it in a larger size sometime. Did you actually make that in Flash, or just output it to a SWF file?

Thats remarkable! Its seem the vid digitially got improve for XP with the intro of UKM sounds is improve then 12 years ago. its sweet listening to your re-master sound on my Gamezone 5.1. So when I play UKM listen to intro sound from 1994 with my Gamezone 5.1 compare to your re-master then i can say Aaron Connor should digitially re-master all TM games on DVD. Who knows, anything can happen. Great woork. Rockefeller.

I actually re-created the entire animation clip from scratch - created and animated everything in a 3d program - I actually took new screenshots from UAKM for the spinning film - before there were 5, in mine there are 12 - in the original there was a sharp edge to the purple light in the circle, in mine it's more like an animated volume fog - lots of other small differences - basically everything you see was re-created by me - the sound I used is actually the re-mastered sound from Cubase's site, ProvisionAustralia I believe..

There's more where that came from

Bests, Rockefeller

Wow!

That's is REALLY impressive! You HAVE TO host a high quality original version at some stage!

Glad the music came in handy.

Realy great.

So when can we see the reast of the movie mate

congrats on yur work.

This would look good at the beginning of samspade's movie (http://www.unofficialtexmurphy.com/phpb ... .php?t=221)
spliced with the UKM cinematics, of course.

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn...

Thanks everyone, I'm happy to see so much positive support! I'm hoping to do a lot more now that school is out, though character animation is a bit tricky and I don't even have a Tex model to animate. But hopefully I'll have more stuff to show from now on. I'm thinking intros, sets, animated environments, perhaps Chandler Avenue remastered! We'll see...

By the way, is there a place online that hosts large files for free, so I could share it with everyone through a link, or anything similar? Please let me know...

-Also, which version of Chandler Avenue do people like the most, if it were to be remade? My favorite is the UAKM versoin, but that's just me...there's just something about the Bijou Theater and Clint in the alley...

Great stuff, Rocky.

Great stuff, Rocky.

For me, PD was the first Tex game I played back in '97, so it has special sentimental value. Playing games of PD and Dungeon Keeper in fits of laughter with my cousins on their PC in Cardiff were my fondest memories from that time in my life. However, UKM was what I played the most growing up and it's also a nostalgic trip back whenever I stroll down that Chandler Avenue (especially the music).
In fact, playing both these games through first we seemed to like the games' noir tunes, even though it was squeezed out of the primitive FM synth cards we had at the time. That Roswell base was like some kind of trip when you had headphones on full blast. *sigh* My wasted youth...

...god I sound old. Not as old as Jim, but still.

I'll shut up now.

How big is the full resolution file?

-Cub. =o)

The quicktime is 889MB, the avi is 747MB, the mpg is 37.5MB.

-What is the best codec to compress avi's and mov's?

Bests, Rockefeller

Pretty neet.
