Revisiting old models

[kraven911 3]

Hi there.

As an amateur modeller myself I find there's always room for improvement, you discover new ways to do things, new methods, tricks etc.
You perfect your pipeline and modify it, learn new and simpler ways to do modelling,UVs and textures.
And you always end up looking back at old assets/art, thinking: "If I remade this right now it could look 10 times better than when I made it."

Have you guys ever felt the need, or had the thought of revisiting old models to update their fidelity to how items are per now?
Or is the pipeline and work being done on models so strict and rough that you guys feel that everything is as it should be?

Not implying that something is not up to date or on the visual fidelity with the rest of the game.
I know I've felt it myself and I know artist in general feel that they can do better as years pass, and a lot of them redo their work just to see how much they've improved.

 

Your thoughts?

Some models have been redone and scrapped completely.

At one time Deans original lovingly crafted bandage model from the mod was in and there were vests that have since been removed.

I believe they will make improvements to some models depending on the perceived need but I also understand it is a lower priority task.
