new ghoul model creation video 

Nice! Although I wouldn't count them as ghouls since they act like zombies and probably are.

hmmh, well i always called them ghosts.

In Super CV4, they're called "Cruela", but later in Symphony of the Night they became a type of "Zombie".

Would it be possible to get a youtube video, for those of us that don't wanna install unreal?

already did.

And I've edited his post so that the video plays properly (it was embedded weird due to the youtube tag doing shenanigans).

This project looks amazing.  Quite spectacular, actually.  I need to learn some coding.  It must feel pretty bad ass to create this.

[MooMilk]

That looks really good. I hope we get level 2 before this gets C & D'd

minor update. i've mostly been trying to wrap my head around the unreal animation system, and found a lot of pitfalls. 
got the whip to work mostly flawlessly, although there's a bug where it will stop whipping, seemingly randomly.

also been toying with the post effects, and found some pretty neat effects.
i increased the strength of the ambient occlusion, and it gives a nice contrast to things.
seems like the ghouls are more "grounded" as well because of this.
also mucked around with Scene colours. i added some fringe intensity to give it a slight kung fury look, and also added some slight vignetting.
looking at those curtains, they got to go. ugly as fuck.

[zangetsu468]

I don't think the curtains look bad, but they should probably be on fire.

If you're intent on replicating CV1's first stage accurately then the curtains need to remain. Perhaps you can alter them to look better so that they aren't 'ugly as f@#k' lol. Other then that good job. 

I hope we get level 2 before this gets C & D'd

Hopefully that won't happen as I want to see this finished too. But to receive a C&D from Konami at this point would be more a kin to a bad joke with the way they currently are.

[dejawolf]

peh, if they DMCA i'll make a parody called metalvania, where everyone is dressed in black leather and headbanging, heavy metal music is blaring in the background, and thunder is cracking constantly.

[dejawolf]

fixed the shadows from the lights. turns out it was just the shadow bias of the lights being too large.

Looks good, personally it could tone down the post-processing effects but that's..... Just an Opinion.
