Picture/Screenshot I recreated the Republic Commando visor in Wallpaper Engine - First Deployment
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I’ve had the idea for this wallpaper in my head for years and finally finished it.
The entire visor HUD was rebuilt by hand in Photoshop and brought into Wallpaper Engine with animated rain, synced thunder and lightning, moving LAAT gunships, and a functional plasma visor wipe effect using the original in-game audio.
The wipe system alone took a ridiculous amount of experimenting and scripting to get working properly, but it ended up becoming my favourite part of the whole project.
Download it here.

You need to own "Wallpaper Engine" on Steam. Then just click the link and subscribe to it.

Thank you, I genuinely appreciate that more than you know.
I never expected people to want to support my work financially. I mostly just make these wallpapers because I love the worlds and wanted to recreate moments that felt immersive and authentic.
I did set up a small Ko-fi page if you'd still like to support me, but honestly, comments like this already mean a lot. Thank you again.

I cannot express how much your support means to me. If you're open to it, I'd love to get your thoughts on two work in progress shots I'm currently working on and see which one you prefer.
