Been testing a new method to make higher quality faces for psx style characters in vrchat. Sorry for the model being lowkey kinda terrifying lol

I cant say it look particularly playstation 1 tbh. doesn't make it any less interesting though

alright guys i get it you're right its not psx i made a mistake 🥹 its just low poly im sorry 😭

not psx. just say 'low poly'

yeah i made an oopsy i forget it just means ps1. was def not the intention

what the

the what

um..

looks more ps2 or even psp. textures are too hi-res and slightly uncanny

you are a fucking genius like what the hell, this is amazing

rad

psx LA Noire

Genius!!!

How performant is that for something like VR chat? You have to still have the higher poly animate with the low poly to project? - Love the effect though, looks really cool.

This is just a test so it’s kinda overkill atm. I’ll have to put together a better example at some point. Ideally it would just be eyes and a mouth or something.

eyes and mouth would make more sense. You could potentially use this set up to bake the expressions onto a sheet and use that instead of the camera as well. Just won't be as smooth animation wise I suppose

yeah i'll have to see about doing something like that if i need to emulate a simpler version for quest

Interesting indeed.

This is so great but it look like PS2 style for me ;0

Just be doing whatever you want huh?! Lmao I’ve been wanting to ask you about how the ray tracing works for models and physbones

its fun trying out silly little ideas

wow

HOW THE FUCK!?

This isn't even remotely PSX yea. This is more along the lines of Source Engine humans which didn't become commonplace until the 360 gen

Yeah i mix up psx with just meaning vaguely retro playstation era these days. i only ever knew it as the ps1 growing up so blame all the pretty looking indie games these days that throw around "psx" lol. it would have been more accurate for me to just say low poly or something

Holy shit that's really cool

send post sebd send post

me when i see poop

This looks great, how did you do it?

@incarnpessimism camera component

This is so cool! It preserves the abstraction/suggestion of lower poly models and lower res textures.

Doesn't look like PS1, closer to PS2 or PSP. It's almost the exact same technique used for Forbidden Siren on PS2, actually.

LA noire was the original inspo for me. Prob innacurate for me to say "PSX" i always mix that up as a general retro playstation term when it just means ps1. I'm more interested in the ps2 mayyybe even xbox/early ps3 era but i'm not sure just yet. I still need to figure out what i want to use this for first. There's also some other technical things i need to figure out before i commit to using this, especially if it only works in very specific circumstances or something :/ vrchat does not make it easy :)
