Coming in our upcoming 2.0 patch - fully remastered 4K 60fps versions of every single pre-rendered cinematic in Mass Effect 1!
These videos were created in Blender by Mellin, using upgraded versions of the original meshes and textures extracted from the game files. The lighting, materials and animations were painstakingly recreated before being pushed to After Effects for post editing by myself. The post editing stage involved extensive colour correction, adjustment, rotoscoping and lens flare/bloom recreation.
Here's the Citadel arrival sequence...
I'll be posting more showcases, such as Bring Down the Sky and the Battle of the Citadel, later on my YouTube channel as they are completed. If you're interested in testing a beta build of this mod, join our discord discord.gg/nN9zxs3
Thanks!

Some notes: You are missing vignette in the videos and I'm not sure if there is film grain or not - how does it behave in the original, does the engine draw grain on top of it or is it in the video? Also I'd add a hint of motion blur and depth of field, there is also some strange coloration in the clouds before we see the Citadel. Nice work

I'm purposefully removing the vignette because it looks pretty bad. That can easily be added back in with reshade or sweetfx if someone likes having it for whatever reason. It's hard to say if film grain is baked into the videos because they're so low quality, but again - if you want film grain then that can be added back with reshade.
I'm of the opinion we shouldn't add depth of field to space shots. As far as I've been able to tell there is no instance in which DoF is used in space cinematics in ME - especially in ME1. These videos are designed to match how the game looks in-engine at 4K with ALOT/MEUITM.
Motion blur is something I'll look into and see how it looks. Thanks for the feedback!

Alright, but the Vignette was there in the original thats my point It looks a bit out of place when ingame has vignette and suddenly the video doesnt. Personally I'd put them there but its up to you of course! |
