3D cellshaded Zelda a Link to the Past, UPDATE 3

[xXTheRush905Xx]

Is this a game you're making or just a model?

[Trinexx360]

I can dream, but I'm not sure it will happen.

[Silverfan717]

a 3D a link to the past would be an awesome idea, but definately not like this, its too bright and theres no detail... but i would still love to have a 3D a link to the past, like on the wii u, would be awesome

[Keybladezeldaawesome]

This kind of looks like pokemon diamond, and pearl

[thomaspeters1994]

thumbs up if you like majora's mask, wind waker, alttp remake in better 3d graphic for 3ds and wii

[superearthbender]

While as it may look to you like the hill the house sits atop is tall in the original, that doesn't mean that the actual design converted to 3D will be visually consistent or pleasing. Aesthetics are conceptual, not necessarily physical.

[Kusanagi64]

@superearthbender Thank you. :)

[superearthbender]

@Kusanagi64 ? Are you being sarcastic? Not everyone is trying to insult you.

[Aurabot]

@superearthbender Calling someones work shit isn't an insult anymore?

[9snaker]

@Aurabot

whow, where did he say it's SHIT!?

[Kusanagi64]

@superearthbender No seriously. That was not sarcastic :O I see that you are making a point which I agree with. I also realize that my 3D visualisation is not representing the original 100% perfectly and you are explaining why this is. I agree and thank you for explaining it to him/her as well.

So: Thank you :)

[superearthbender]

@Kusanagi64 Oh, ok.

oops.  xP

[newtubetubetube]

The terrain's z is scaled way too large.

[Kusanagi64]

@newtubetubetube no, it's not that: look at the highest rockwalls: they are mapped just fine.

It's the texture on the middle hill which make it seem that it's been scaled too much, but actually the texture is squeezed too much. The rocks are better on the highest walls and make it seem more natural. Even though they're higher.

[newtubetubetube]

@Kusanagi64 You are a terrible game designer. The ground level around the house is obviously too high. just because from top down view it look like the original pixels doesn't mean this is pleasing or playable.

[Kusanagi64]

@newtubetubetube Well obviously you don't know the difference between "3D Visualisation" and "Game Design", so I rest my case. Thank you for your feedback. I hope to see your Link to the Past in 3D soon. :D

[newtubetubetube]

@Kusanagi64 At no place you wrote "3D Visualization". Which mean noting in the context of this discussion. Modeling environment of a game fall under the 'game design' category.

That map is not playable. (eg: in no way this could be integrated into a game because it suck.)

The hill the house is on is too high. Stop fighting or seeking excuse for this failure. Just scale the hill down and see for yourself.

[Kusanagi64]

@newtubetubetube

It visualizes a 3D movie about something which has never been 3D before and it's not playable.

Also: take a look at the original Link to the Past: you will see that that hill is 2 blocks high, just like the biggest hills are 4 blocks high. I agree that everything has been scaled up too much perhaps and I tried some stuff out.

I am not fighting at all; I merely said that I textured the hill wrong. Why are you taking the aggressive approach to me and cannot discuss normally?

[ColumbiaStudioes]

fucking awesome job dude! they say miyamoto is interested in making a 3D polygon Lttp game for 3DS. maybe u gave him the inspiration lol

[buanenochorvo]

omgggg!!! can i play it???

[DavisGuy64]

I heard nintendo wants to remake a link to the past for the 3ds. If they do they should make the game look like this video.

[Ponziopelato81]

Reminds me of phantom hourglass/ windwaker grafic. It wuold be avesome.

[flame6753]

reminds me of how they did pokemon games for the ds.

[TheDoctorTL4]

Shigeru Miyamoto told EDGE Magazine that he set a project to remake the Super Nintendo title Zelda A Link To The Past for the Nintendo 3DS. Do you remember Xevious? It’s two-layered and I really wanted to create that at the time. So to see Link To The Past in two layers would be quite attractive for me.

[SoulofaDeity]

Great job! Maybe next time you can make my fav...Oracle of Ages ;)

[honogo4]

Ocarina of Time is the best Zelda game ever. Though it would be cool if link to the past was 3d like ocarina of time.

[FibrousAcquiescence]

@honogo4 joystiq.com/2007/11/12/3d-link­-to-the-past-interests-aonuma/

There's hope.

[GamingForGames]

0_0 it looks like the minish cap Zelda Amazing work!

[2010HackLockerz]

The tree models could do with some polishing, but other than that it's absolutely amazing! ^^ Great job.

[NorthVisionChannel]

You won't believe me.. but I was making a 3d zelda fan game project just like that one... but ... I drop it... it really good... go ahead and finish it :)

[iHuman1612]

this is beautiful, I would pay money for a game like this

please keep me updated! ^ ^

[rupluttaja]

can u share me that file?

[Bonkz2]

2 words, guys: Skyward. Sword.

[sonicfilms123]

Got some questions about this game:

1. Will it look like other 3-D Zeldas or will it look like an FPS?

2. When do you think it will be released?

3. Will it run on a Mac?

4. What program do you use for it?

5. Are you having fun making it? :P

[FlyingAce1015]

awesome remake the whole game :D!

[Thewinator]

Why does it take ages to render?

There are enough games that can handle realtime rendering of this kind of cellshaded stuff on the GPU. Think the windwaker for instance. Sure that's on GC but computers these days have quite a bit more powerful hardware.

[Zaft9]

hey, do you need help, cause if youre makin' a game, im available



[teh1337storm]

Can't wait to play this.....

Did you get a license from nintendo? they might sew that would suck!

[wowsux97]

when is it gonna be done?

[StevenBergstrom]

very interesting. ALTTP looks so different from "link's eye of view" =]

[leink]

Looks great, I hope you give us more updates soon, keep it up!

[henkman00]

just shows that there is a demand for remakes like this Nintendo!

maybe done by an second party studio?

[Stian92lol]

This game would be PERFECT as a 3D game! =D You are amazing at this dude/dudette! Keep up the awesome work (Y)

[Kusanagi64]

Haha, thank you!

All of you! :D

[tsherwoodrzero]

This looks amazing, exactly how we al envisioned Link to the Past in 3d. The 2d/3d amera option mentioned by bloodymastersword and crichjo32 would really let it shine too. Great job.

[EpicUnreal]

i love how it still has the 2d feeling because of the normals mapped correctly. looks like semi 3d like some old games like age of empires or somthing.

i would love to see the wireframes.

did you made it in Maya?

[Kusanagi64]

I made it in 3D Studio Max, and I can share wireframes soon :)

[kitsune0video]

@Kusanagi64 for fast render you can use a real time shader to simulate toon effect. then, instead of rendering the animation, use "render preview animation". This option is to render the viewport without any shader, shadow, etc.., but it can fit perfect for your project :)

[crystallyx]

@Kusanagi64 lucky! i want tht program so bad but i gotta wait til february for it when im 12

[Ricodude1971]

what software/program are you using? it looks nice but how about animating the bushes and stuff like in the game? that would be really cool...

[link5205]

i want this game to be remade in 3-d.

[gnm651]

@link5205 its been remade by a guy called mithosk. He released it about a week ago. He still needs it to be programed but someone will pick the project up.

[tyetu769]

@link5205

I heard that there will be a 3d remake on the 3ds

but im not sure

[TheMastaGlazy]

@tyetu769 Nop :) I've seen alot of people missunderstood that, the game will be ported to the 3DS Virtual Console kind of thing :) only The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time will be remade on the 3DS :) and it will include Master Quest ;)

[tyetu769]

@TheMastaGlazy

Aww...

it would've been so cool if it was made in 3d

but hey, ocarina of time could be better

[Dylstew2]

@link5205

Miyamoto said he is considering remaking a link to the past for the nintendo 3ds :D Your wish from 1 year ago might come true!

[link5205]

@Dylstew2  i know isn't it awesome? It's like i whatever i say happens... wait...

MEGA MAN , MIDNA, AND CLOUD IN THE NEXT SMASH BROS! :D

[Dylstew2]

@link5205

WHY MIDNA?

Uuhm.. please say rayman,bomberman and pacman(The pacman world one,with legs) should be in it too :D

or wait... GENO FROM MARIO RPG!

[link5205]

@Dylstew2 AND GENO BOMBER MAN AND PACMAN..... there you go, thank me later... :3

[ItsAMeTomVooren]

@Dylstew2 Yeah lets include even more non-nintendo characters in a nintendo all-stars fighting game.. >.>

[Dylstew2]

@ItsAMeTomVooren

Yes,then it would be even better :D

[JoeMudd123]

Gorgeous.

[m3dion]

Wow, this is exactly how I want ALTTP to look if it's ever going to be in 3D, like a WW-style!

[Crichjo32]

I like the way the camera started on top like it is normally in ALTTP then swerved in to make it 3D. If there ever was a remake of ALTTP then it would be amazing that you could do taht with the camera, you can have it normal or you can make it 3D, it would be revolutionary!

[BloodyMastersword]

2d, 3d switch like in super paper mario on wii!!

it would be awesome

[link5205]

it would be sweet if someone remade the game in 3d, sorta like a tp or an oot style.

[CosmonautAndrew]

that is freaking awesome

[sjappie87]

Hey man, it's starting to look pretty good :)

[partack1]

MUCH better with the texturing matey. good job. =) now maybe populate it ? ;D hehe.  pretty nice.
