OK let's rather call it the half-assed Dobuita construction Kit.
Here's how you "play" it.
1. Download the Shenmue 1 CD 1 Textures (Link below). Sorry that its doubled packed (zipped then rared) but otherwise it was impossible to compress.
2. Unpack. Use whatever packer you want, get winrar if you're unsure
3. Get a 3D program. I use free Vue 7 Pioneer from
www.cornucopia3d.com - only downside here is that you need to register. If you dont like the Vue Logo on the bottom right just render your pictures larger and cut it out.
4. ?????
5. Profit
Ok seriously, whats still to do is sorting the textures, i think like one folder for all nature related, one for all human skins, one for buildings and so on. As they are they're just too many to really feel comfortable. Some textures also need to be cut as they come in SEGAs odd format so some textures share the same picture file (yay?).
I had much fun with the neon signs as you can see in the example picture. I would LOVE to see more Shenmue 3D models, renders, pictures, textures, animations and so on. This is why i "release" them. Yeah the textures were ripped with PVRdissector, thanks to our portuguese super-mind for making this cool tool. <3
I have also uploaded the above (picture!!!) demo scene so if you never seen Vue before this may help. For the beginning just make Alpha planes or cubes with the texture as material (color map) and then resize them a bit.
Yeah you either have to register a cornucopia3d.com account to get rid of the worst watermarks and be able to share scenes with others. Or just pirate warez copy crack the 1000 dollar Vue 7 XStream version if you're a bad guy. idc, i go with the free one, fair enough.
