Though I’ve already rendered it, I could delay it if there’s something that ends up making a big enough difference. What are your suggestions?
I’ve tried a few others during that final battle (the main sequence using GOUT in 2.5), and found that Harmy has them worked nicer than I can do.
The only two that really stand out to me are the sand crawler coming over the dune and the detention block extension. If I had to pick between the two, though, it would be the crawler. But if you’re already rendering, don’t delay it on my account. I probably won’t have a chance to watch for at least another week anyway. I will be happy with whatever you put out.
No worries, I’m happy to hear suggestions since I mostly only focus on the things that catch my eye when watching. Namely, Mos Eisley.
The sandcrawler is probably the Anakin’s Eyebrows of SW for this forum, and it does pop out a little to me. I’d love to fix it, but one skill I really do not have is rotoscoping. That sequence is a bit of a nightmare, because all three segments are linked by wipes. It’s not the greatest part of TN1’s scan, in my opinion. So if rotoscoping isn’t a choice, the picture quality of the whole thing would jump waaay down without blu-ray elements. Plus it would need a ton more cleanup. Maybe Harmy will be able to do the whole original sequence for 3.0 if he gets Poita’s scan or something. The wipes really did look a little bit different originally.
I really think the hall extension looks near perfect in 2.5. Is it more the resolution than the rotoscoping that bugs you? Doesn’t seem to move out of place or anything like it did in 1.0. But again, it’s the same issue where the whole shot would suffer if I don’t rotoscope it in. And in this case, that’s a huge amount of footage to clean. So again I’ll leave the heavy lifting for Harmy. 😃
