[!! V.3 RELEASED !!] DDRMAX-Extreme Videos Recreation Project 2013-2022

You made a nice job!! Keep goin' Cuzco!

---

Tunnel2 and Tunnel5 are deprecated for the time being. The current copies I have suck, and I'm having lots of difficulty trying to make them better. In fact, the beta movies (egg2, egg5, kaliedoscope11, etc.) honestly look better than them, so I am not including them in the pack until they get massive improvements. Meanwhile, the other movies that had problems (star7, light7) were improved, so at least it's 2 and not 4. I am going to try to FINALLY get Tunnel5 correct ASAP.


You know, most of the movies in this category are boring...



Only wheel2-timer1 (jbacgd), heart12 (jbabpp), countdown1 (jbaacn), and scissors1-sun3 (jbaeyl) hold up to me.

However, this movie, sheep1 (jbaciz)....



Actually looks interesting. The 3D in here looks like my style, and the movie doesn't seem too hard to do. Add 2 speakers, make green walls with white stars as the texture, this item that says 'room', a blue reflective floor, a globe, a TV, and make the sheep (which can be geometrical), and viola. Everything here seems geometrical and interesting.

The rest of the 'jb' movies above, I am going to improvise and add more motion to be less boring and bland, because as they are, 70% of them I don't bother using.

Anyway;



Look at my huge fortress of movies. I have 128 raw movies, and 222 clips altogether, and they all look great! (Wow a rhyme.) A number of these movies, I've fine-tuned and they look much more cleaner and complex than in the previous releases.

However, as I said, I cut tunnel2 and tunnel5 from the pack because they just...look...bad...not to my standards. I want things to be as accurate as possible ever since V.2.1 passed, unless I deliberately feel it needs to be different from the original (example; the jb movies above). Also, cube12 has a problematic thing in it that I need to fix, so it's not in the pack for the time being either.

But still... Once I hit 200, I am going to release something very fun.

Anyway.

@DDRmaster2007 Did you find the Max/Max2 danger .avis yet? The Max one looks like the style of the 'jt' movies, a category I used to find boring, until when I actually re-created them, I realized how cool they were, and it's my 2nd/3rd favorite category.




I'm so sorry guys. (But hey, at least the movie is finished.)


I have finished all of the JT movies.



JT movies are videos on the disc that begin with 'jt****'. They are really simplistic movies consisting of shapes, patterns, and text. They can easily be made within a week if one tries. It just took a while to build up motive for some of the less-interesting ones (like text4).

I actually used to think these movies were unnecessarily boring and a waste of space... I don't think I ever used them before 2013. However, when I began trying to re-make them, I realized they were pitifully underused (they never appear again after EXTREME... except for maybe 4 of them in FESTIVAL?) and grew to like these movies. They are fun, don't take very long to do, and 'JT' is probably my 3rd favorite category of movies, 1st being 'JS', and 2nd being 'JE'.

I am now in the middle of verifying all of these movies for effects I missed (Text29/DISTURB's wheel hints at being blurred). Circle3 (LOADING) definitely needs an overhaul. I am also standardizing all of these movies on being stretched by X: 1.1.

Pack V.3 will be released on the 16th because I need more time to pack more videos in, and I might have some hinderance from participating in the ZIv Simfile Shuffle 2014.. It's also gonna be split into parts, since it's so far 260 MB.

I look forward to seeing your original characters in DDR

Well... technically they aren't original (http://www.youtube.com/user/MondoMedia), but I think I might be the first to cross them over into DDR. There is a reason I did that to Disco1, btw... Which will be revealed later. :P

Can't wait for V3. i have all the v2.2 or whatevers out now videos, so really all i gotta do i add on to them. or something i guess. i might remake that rabbit one i made for this earlier, with better rabbits. and better bg. and well better everything.

I'm going to release it in January because I've kinda used up A LOT of my motive on V.2.2 (it has 50 total videos) and I need to have some more videos in the pack. I need to finish some works in progresses (especially Tunnel1, dear god).

Also, for V.3, you're supposed to replace all of the videos you have with the newest ones.

I hope something creative is done with V3's videos.

So anyways, I will take the opportunity to re-iterate because it got bottom-paged.

Hmm... some of these look extremely hard.... but some look like i can make in like 1 minute in gimp.
I'll email you any other contributions and such.
Also, are you accepting any Ultramix 1 videos (if any)? thanks.

Ultramix 1 videos are basically the Max-Extreme videos in a completely random order.



Spiral2 + Water1 + Amoeba2 + Rotation2 + Spiral3 + Pills2 + Spiral1 + Kaliedoscope9 in a song that typically has the spike/fire/ninja videos...

By the way, keep in mind the textures are animated. I'm trying to get this one down atm.

Huh. what format should the textures be? video? gif? etc?

Preferably video, but .gif can also work if you have problems with the video format.

If you can get any Max-Extreme videos (that I haven't already done) done and send them to me, I will greatly appreciate it.

Okay. I've made 3 textures so far. when i have made some more, look in your email for them. let me know if they helped.

Cool. :3

BTW, if this helps, I posted YouTube videos of all of the DDR videos, so here are links to the ones I'm having problems with;



(click a picture to see it's video.)

(tunnel2 is too ambiguous, so I might just use random noise textures for it.)

All of the other texture movies, I have under my wing (except the monstrously complex amoeba movies) and will get to them asap.

If you are confused on which one I'm looking for, I will mask out everything except the texture I'm looking for to help you.

"bloodmoontexture" is actually interesting me... If you can make it a little more warpy, I might actually use it. (btw, what movies were your textures intended for?)

Alright, the new ones should be sent. be sure to send me a preview of it's usage! also they are meant for any video.

Oh my gosh.

I'm going to accept your texture, that literally blew my mind when I saw it. Nice job!

t-thank you!

Also, any plans on remaking anything featuring Lil' Rosethoven (the fan-name i gave to the little chibi conductor in the Speed Over Beethoven Video)?

'Lil' Rosethoven' might look a little inaccurate and in similar nature to Kangaroo1, but yes. This is a movie I didn't consider making yet, actually.

I've always found that little guy cute.
Konami, make this little guy into a Pop'n Character. i could actually make the textures for 'Lil' Rosethoven'.


pshew, made the lil' guy's textures. he is so cute i need one.

I've updated the front post. Midone has officially contributed to the project, and their name has been added to "ran by". I've also added the requests backlog. I have 9 more videos that I have to finish for 3 users. I've also put Midone's recent texture to use;



This movie is called 'kaliedoscope20'. kaliedoscope17-19 are reserved for videos similar to kaliedoscope11-14/16, that give some attention to under-used textures (like sphere1's 'floor').

This is the texture midone sent me (on the same frame);



The algorithm I used to get it right was...



Position it to be centered at the top-left 4th of the video.



Turn the white into a light cyan and blur it to remove the jpeg artifacts.



Mirror it so that the top-left 4th is the kaleidoscopic item.

It's also slowed down by x0.75.

Big thank you for midone for this cool idea, by the way.
