The C-Verse Era and Re-Render Project

[Scottie]

As the new game has the ability to include "eras" in it, I thought it might be worthwhile making some alternate renders for some of the established stars.

Also, there's some pretty "dodgy" old renders (Henrik Berg, Solomon Austin, Monty Olivier) which could use some updating. :)

From the other thread:

I considered starting a thread like this myself. Nice to see it actually become a reality.

Wow -- what a wonderful surprise this morning!

Scottie, do you have a complete list of what you consider the most "dodgy" renders? If not, I can help out. Here are a couple more:

Toshiya Furube
Veeti Kuqi
Stefan Champion (light seems to emit from his armpits)

Asians who do not appear the least bit Asian:
Denbe Ekiguchi
Yeijiro Yamamoto
Taizoh Chung Man

etc.

Thanks MFP, it'd be good to have some suggestions for people to re-render.

Here's Veeti Kuqi. I'm not convinced the older version is any better (I don't mind his original render), but here's my attempt and it is another possibility.

That looks outstanding to me. I love how similar the pose is for present-day Kuqi -- purple shorts included!

Prime Manol Sirakov looks great, btw, but I would like to make a small suggestion to make him look a little more like the old Manol Sirakov render already in-game: make his eyes a little bigger and make his skull a bit taller. If you are already reworking the present day Manol then feel free to ignore this suggestion.

Very nice work!

I think a good re-render would be Lukas Mellberg,mainly it is just that his tatoo's look a little off IMO.

Great work Scottie.

Thanks mate. I can't find any way to increase the height of the skull, but I've changed the eyes. I dunno if it looks better, but if people like it I'll edit the other post.

EDIT: Haha in hindsight, there's nothing changed at all.

id KILL for a prime version of Norbert Vinkus!

[Scottie]

Hmm... this was meant to be him in current day but the aging didn't quite show up in the eventual render. So I guess it has to be the prime version because I dunno if he looks 45-50.

He looks 40 ish to me. In any case, that's a vast improvement, and you've done a great job keeping the spirit of the original!
