Recently I saw that Infinite Force released his Sky Sanctuary mod. Was a bit let down by how it looked visually, so I decided to grab the mod myself, and edit the visual department to make it look better. Keep in mind, this is not a remastered of the Generations version, but of Infinite Force's mod.

No layout changes were done, so the bugs you may see in this video in terms of level design are from the original mod.

In visual terms, there may be some flickering materials, which could be fixed, but would ultimately disable specularity in some pillars in the level, like the ones at the beginning. I opted to leave them as they are, in exchange of leaving the flickering materials in the inside area of the level. Also, some areas are overly bright due to SHLF problems. That wasn't cracked yet, so it's not fixable.

Also, since I was in the middle of altering level files, I disabled the alarm from the first 2D section, and changed the BGM to match the level.

I would try to port Global Illumination from Forces, but the level files were altered in a way that would make that impossible to do without re-porting the whole terrain geometry. I was also planning on porting the cameras and rings from the original level, but I decided to leave the original layout as it is.
