You can do a lot with the xbox version of shenmue2 by changing things around with models/textures. I'm guessing this is somewhat similar but done with shenmue1, although it would've involved a warezed copy of shenmue.

Not if you back it up yourself it won't. if you were looking at it like that then modding the xbox version would require a warez version :lol:

What makes me wander is that it might be easy to swap textures depending on the compiler/renderer of the game engine (if its precompiled BSP geometry or models), but for animated character models? well, either this guys are extremely good or all the models in Shenmue use the same skeleton: same number of joints, same size, same number of attached vertices to each bone.... well, I'm sure i don't know much, but its interesting to see how the did it....

i noticed something interesting, the clothing of the models is not animated, it uses physics (acts real independently of the character animation)... NICE!

Couldn't you just replace the textures/models? I'm not sure if I'm 100% in following you in what you say. But let's say toms model/texture was tom.mdl and tom.tex (mdl and tex being just an example, I have no idea what the extenion or files are :P). You find, for example, landi.mdl and landi.tex, rename them to tom and bam. Swapped. Maybe it's not that simple, but I remember reading long ago how they did it for shenmue 2 at shenmue dojo and it didn't seem all that complicated at all.

Regardless they are both still technically illegal. DC version for transferring to different media. XBox for the same (if stored on HDD), but let's not get into legality with this ;) They're cool videos.

Yeah, but there is the interesting part, you can swap models, but the animations must be separated (not embedded in the model) because you're going to use Landi s model with Tom's animation... i guess the only way this could be done is if the game engine uses 1 skeleton for all the models in game with the exact same number of joints and proportions... also notice how the mouths doesnt animate? i guess they use a different tecnique for face animations, maybe a speech recognition engine... who knows

a skeleton for animation:

look at the right side, there is a list of all the joints and their names.... in shenmue everyone has to use a skeleton with same names for joints in order for the swap to work

I believe those were made by LanDC of http://www.shenmuedojo.net

If I remember correctly he just had to swap the models, not complicated.
