Oh man, that looks awesome. That blade graphic was embarrassingly bad lol.
There's another blade that also has that horribly aliased clipping mask, I don't remember the name of the weapon but I do remember it had the "Kunark star" on it and it was like a scimitar. Hopefully Cucu will find and unfuck that one too.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the original guy who did that stuff was Apog, and he would basically just upscale the texture image, use a smudge/blur tool to make it look decent, and then repack it into the s3d. Basically stuff anyone can do, it's just time-consuming and laborious.
They weren't smudged and blurred, they were rebuilt from scratch. I did some of them. It was tedious and painstaking work, which is why the project never really got finished. I always hoped to get back into it but trying to line up the scales on the iksar monk armor (the last set I worked on and never finished) drove me insane. Since Velious came out with the new armor graphics I lost interest.

I'm glad the torch has been picked up again using Cucumbers's more efficient process of Photoshop "unfuckery".
