Well I have done more on my KH level but have been spending more time on testing making the textures higher resolutions. I don't know who posted earlier but basically they showed that you could make the original texture files and make them higher resolution and thus get a better result in game. Like upgrading a 512*512 to 1024*1024 or to 2048*2048 even. So I decided to test this out and have some pictures of the results. I decided to do nextGen textures since you have more maps and thus can come up with a better result. My video card however does not fully support next gen because I don't have 3.0 shaders so these pictures are not the best quality you can see in the game but you can clearly see the difference the higher resolutions make. First I tried putting a high res pic on a computer screen in the mansion:

As you can see the picture is clear even when zoomed at 100% unlike the objects around it like the sticky notes. Here is a stone tablet with the same picture but has a normal map thus making it bumpy:

Now here is the keyboard used in the game:

And here's is the keyboard redone

And here is a comparison of the old skin and eye textures replaced with redone higher res ones: original

and high res redone

As you can see the high res versions are quite an improvement. It took me quite a while to get the skin looking good. I used pictures of a person's face and eye to help redo them. I have done more of her like her clothes etc. so if you want more pictures let me know.
I forgot to mention that the floor in the keyboard pictures are also different.

I was wondering if anyone was actually interested in having the Kingdom Hearts II level. I'm about 70% or more done but I've seen little interest in it and probably will not continue. But if enough people want it I'll finish it.
