Shaders and effects
Luther Blissett:
Definitely looks much better (and closer to sprite lighting) than the old default. No doubt about it. Can you stand him next to a sprite, so we can compare closer? Maybe a shirtless, next to a tribal or something like this.
SmartCheetah:
Wow, it looks really good now! I'm amazed how much shaders can change! *.*
I bet we would have to change some textures and models to make them more complex (to get more shadows on eg. metal armor chest piece)
Luther Blissett:
We will probably need to adjust most of the textures once these have been finalised. Most will probably be quick tweaks, but a few might need some heavy changes. Obviously if the game engine shadows are now much better, we can rely a bit less on "old school style" painted-on shadowing. I don't know if the models would need changing so much, but we'll see how things start to look when this has been tested on all the current ones. The metal armour detail can probably be adjusted through tweaking the specular map
Surf:
One thing I noticed, is that almost all of the models are a bit too bright compared to the original critters. This can be easily solved though. ;) And yes, going the oldschool method and planting some drawn shadows here and there seems to be the best solution for this. 's looking really good already!

I changed the standard shader as suggested by Luther, so now all models use this one. Take a look.
In my opinion , the new one looks much better. What do you guys think?
Also the skin is mapped, just a bit of shine over the body, and some more on the head.
As for the global illumination, I used ambient color with a blueish tint. Of course, it's not the same as an additional light, but it softens the dark shadows.

Most accurate word I can find for it right now is "Amazing"... I'm still thinking of the right word though.
