Hello and welcome!

This is my attempt to SUPER HD re-texture Tidus.  

The texture comes in a whopping 8K version and a "standard" 4K version.

Hold the phone! 8K you say?

Yes, but please hear me out!  FFX is old and they mapped all of Tidus's face, hair, clothing, legs, hands, feet, and torso all to just 1 texture (with a couple of exceptions depending on the model).  This means that his face only takes up about 1/8 (if that) of the texture.  So if I was to come anywhere near close the standard 2k and 4k faces in today's games I needed a larger starting size.  We don't typically see 8k textures in modern games yet because these games give a set of textures for the face and head, and then a separate set for the body there for allowing more detail per texture.  Also in this game's case 8K isn't that demanding when you consider we are only working with 1 texture format, the diffuse map.  Modern games use a diffuse map, a spec map, a normal map, and more.  So this texture in it's 8k form is about the equivalent (in VRAM) to a modern game using a 4k diffuse, 2k spec, and 2k normal which happens all the time.  In short, don't fear trying the 8K, it works pretty well in this game(so far).

Overall, I am am happy with the way the 8K turned out, it allowed me to capture the facial details and other fine details I wanted to see in game.  That said, for those that think 8K is absurd or just too demanding I have included a 4K version which retains most of the details.

I noticed no performance hit with the 8K version but I was only running that 1 texture replacement.  So if VRAM issues arise please use the 4k version.

Texture design and art direction came heavy from original texture and then blended with attempts to add the details seen in the FMV sequences in FFX.  I tried to reproduce the FMV look as much as I could in the in-game engine with detailed skin, lips, and materials.  There is one exception to this in which I added (some fan lighthearted service for long time fans of the series) if you can spot it.  Everything has been touched up or redone, eyebrows lips, hair, eyes, skin, clothing, boots, everything from head to toe because I became obsessed and it was addicting.

NOTE: Tidus has 2 sets of textures.  One for the high poly model used in most dialogue scenes and close ups which has complete 3D modeled eyes (eye balls, eyelids, and model animation), and one for the low poly model used in battles and running around the map which has 2D animated eyes containing 18 frames of eyes is different states.  Both texture sets for the models are now completed.
