without vertex colors:

They used special ebony wood for the romaster spears!

adrientd

So that means that for some reason the Remaster is using vertex colors, when in the original they didn't have.

adrientd

In fact I noticed that there are lot of things that have vertex colors when I don't think the original had, like all Roman models.

adrientd

The Romans only use normal lighting so they don't use vertex colors.

is that why theres that one pure black horse in Normandy

filip5011

probably where all the budget went

pegperegogaucho

All clones in the romaster have additional vertex coloring

pegperegogaucho

That is also why the spiky ball looks beat up :Obelul:

adrientd

Oh that's why, why didn't the devs find that out :Obelul:

pegperegogaucho

Normally the clones would have received dynamic vertex coloring (real-time) but probably that was some part of Renderware they did not "recreate" so we got the vertex coloring from I guess the source assets? I believe ELB vertex colored them all by hand originally, but the coloring went unused in the final game. You can still see vertex coloring on the models in the intro cutscene, it looks like the vertex coloring of the romaster

adrientd

So the romaster strictly uses vertex colors without normal lighting?

pegperegogaucho

Yeah

adrientd

The guy spent time to make accurate shaders for the water, but then completely forgot to use normal lighting on the clones :KEKW:

pegperegogaucho

Maybe he did not know as a super fan

adrientd

lol

adrientd

The black horse actually has a black texture:

adrientd

It's based on a black horse model that is unused in the original game:

adrientd

Or does someone remember a black horse in the original?

pegperegogaucho

Only gray horses
