DESCRIPTION
I've decided to retexture Twilight Princess GC! I wanted to keep the original textures, but convert them into HD format as much as possible, and also add a little Skyward Sword style. Twilight Princess was suppose to aim towards a dark look+feel, but failed miserably by the power of blurry/ugly textures. The game also lacks lighting effects and shadow effects, so I'm working on getting shader addons(ReShade, SweetFX, etc.) to become compatible with the game. I'm aiming to get SSAO or HBAO, and DoF to work properly. I've seen some people that had success with some effects, but no tutorial. I NEED SOME HELP WITH APPLYING THOSE EFFECTS! I really want to get Twilight Princess polished as much as possible. The textures, that I've done, are looking beautiful, but the lackluster of HBAO, SSAO, and DoF is killing the feel. I know it's possible to get the effects working because I have successfully implemented HBAO and DoF on the Project64 ROMS(Majora's Mask, OoT, and Conker.) So yeah...

SCREENSHOTS! (NEW; MAY 24, 2015)

NOTE
You can customize the settings to your liking. If the game slows down, using SSAO, try turning down the "SSAO Quality" slider or perhaps the "Sample Range" slider. If you are still experiencing an FPS drop, try disabling Anti-Aliasing by setting it to "None" or try using a lower "Internal Resolution." If none of that helps, then you can just use DoF by selecting "DOF" in the "Post-Processing Effect" drop-down menu.

I also want to let everybody know that 90% of the textures, including Link and Epona, and all characters, are completely redrawn by me, digitally. I DID NOT USE ANY GOOGLE IMAGES! I Enlarge the texture with Alien Blow-up, and then trace it. If I am not satisfied with certain Twilight Princess textures, I remake them, completely(making them different, my style.)

It looks very nice. Though his hair has a little. now blonde. So, that requested costume will be in your next video?
Great job on the chairman :)
Chainmail***
Yes, your design will be in the next video, guarantee. I was actually thinking about making a video just for demonstrating your request : D
Demonstrating the re-texture of the bridge and HeroOfHyruleLink's requested Link design :)

Oh and the stones on the second bridge shot :P

The emblem on the tunic is a darker blue. And the Grey sleeves and the Grey on the sides are chain mail if you want to use your new chain mail texture

Hello. I'm the guy that made that ReShade preset for Tomoya, on YouTube. I wanna upload a newer version of it, which I like more. Could you guys give me some feedback? I'm trying to capture the original "dark" style as much as possible, but I'm very new on this. A person who knows about photography would be very helpful here. This is the preset: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8D18k8INySCU1N6YkpWZ0lZelU/view?usp=sharing

These are my main graphics settings within Dolphin: http://gyazo.com/4cb3adfadf2f830eec74d92c2accc298, http://gyazo.com/a362fd75c01c5e5c73ef38898a6c33e0, http://gyazo.com/fca67963ca0671283441ac381845327d, http://gyazo.com/482cf53b4648056136152c80df3b1f8a

And these are my "Ishiiruka FX" settings: http://gyazo.com/97bc1d142ae89c36a9dcc66bbeee668f, http://gyazo.com/636ac5cb6693d65d42add7fc7388f065, http://gyazo.com/6c5b12f9dff6eeb88ff04c5dd429a0a9, http://gyazo.com/5ec74a2d53ae62f3eaeeef1570853b1a

Note that I am not using DoF from the Ishiiruka FX, because I dislike the fact that it blurs out the HUD. If you want to use it, you can, of course.

Any feedback is appreciated!

EDIT: Might as well post it here too: I've made a "no old movie" effect version of my preset (matter of fact, I've started liking this one more)

Here it is: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8D18k8INySCRjRWeGFQQjFHX2s/view?usp=sharing

I've also made a few changes to the Scene Tonemapping and Bloom, under the "Post-Processing Effect tab".

http://gyazo.com/475d3c39518730ecd3d968fe00aa9db6

http://gyazo.com/a83fd670fb8d430229c74d694c733454

As you can see here (http://i.imgur.com/M4OJsGN.jpg), with these settings, you can barely see the square shapes in the "Ratio Check Sample". If you tone the brightness way up high at the recommended Nintendo settings, I find that nights are way too bright for my tastes, I want it to be as dark so you almost need to use the Lantern during the night. It makes the game more interesting for me.

Bonus: Lots of screenshots!

I'm your friendly neighborhood
You know, actually having color is a massive improvement for Twilight Princess. B-)
To me, TP tried to be the dark and mature Zelda game, but it failed miserably on achieving what Majora's Mask did astonishingly well without loosing that beauty and style that Zelda games had since day one, which you managed to bring back to this game :D .
It's obvious that I'm a fan of your project... and maybe I'v exaggerated a bit with that last part (probably it's the lack of sleep :P ), but your work is still amazing ^_^

In the end, all I can say is, "the colors feel so right" ;)

I'll try to connect my Wiimote to the P.C. and try it out. I have a bluetooth dongle, but these things always give me a headache.

EDIT: I tried, but I couldn't properly connect my Wiimote plus and pair it with Dolphin. It does connect to my P.C. via my bluetooth dongle, it does vibrate and the light indicates that Player 1 is connected, but the buttons don't work in-game. Someone should do it, because I can't be bothered with that stuff anymore.

Thank you, and I COMPLETELY agree with the point of the Zelda series and Twilight Princess. I love Zelda games to be bright with bold adventurous colors, with Zelda charm, and that's what I'm trying to do with TP. The dark didn't work out... at all xD

I'm also a sucker for colorful games : D
