I’ve been working on restoring the beta vendor found in the Insomniac Museum, and it’s finally starting to come together.

I was able to locate its leftover texture in one of the Ratchet & Clank demos, which gave me a much better reference for reconstructing the damaged/mangled UVs. Some areas I’m almost certain are accurate, particularly the side of the vendor based on how the original texture atlas is laid out. Other parts are still a little uncertain, especially toward the front.

I don’t plan on releasing it just yet until I work out those remaining details, but I already shared it on Discord and figured I’d post the progress here too.

Really happy with how it’s turning out so far.

I tried to recreate the GTA VI-style Liberty City license plate based on the trailer footage and screenshots we’ve seen so far. While working on it, I also remastered several other Liberty City license plate variants from different eras and restored the license plate font.

I wasn’t able to get the font working properly in GTA V, but the texture files are included if anyone wants to experiment with them or figure it out.

The model and textures are available for anyone who wants to use them for personal projects, fan projects, renders, or mods.

Still working on these, but I wanted to show them off a bit. I also made an A4O-style variant of the ToD Pilot Suit

updated with significantly improved textures while staying faithful to the original design. I also plan to revisit some of my older models over time with these newer textures.

Interestingly, after getting my hands on the actual model, I discovered the face is still using the older Tools of Destruction UV/layout, while the ears and tail use the newer UVs and textures. I honestly wonder why they chose to do it this way, especially considering the newer texture already contains the face on the atlas as well — the layouts are just different.
