This mod is a great idea and has me genuinely excited. I would love to have field and battle models to match the FMV's. With Omzy's field pack, DLPB's Mods, the Reanimation and FPS mods, the entire game can be upgraded and still look consistent throughout.


@weeemus - Hello @weeemus, could you please consider making a version of Cloud Strife with the Buster Sword sheathed on his back? I love @Grimmy's version of Cloud Strife field model.

You do realize this is an extremely easy thing to do right? Just open the desired sword model, in this case the buster sword in kimera, resize it down to be within reason of a field model and save as a field model, open the Cloud field model, add a part to the torso of Cloud (The resized buster sword model) and finish resizing and positioning. Done.

My only problem with those models is when he sits down or lays down the sword goes through everything, not to mention as soon as you get a new sword the buster sword doesn't make sense. I guess it's a matter of which is more believable to you, that Cloud can pull a sword out of nowhere or that he can sit, lay, roll, etc. with the buster sword on his back.
 
That sit, lay, roll thing is why I don't use the field model with sword. It's kind of neat at the beginning of the game, but quickly loses itself. Also, you don't ever see the other main characters carrying their weapons.

Hello @StickySock,
 I would like to inform you that the first time I saw Final Fantasy VII, it was on a small screen on the back of a chair in a vehicle. Due to this, I thought Cloud's Field Model had a Buster Sword on his back. Of course, I was obviously hallucinating. However, that memory has left an impression on me ever since then. I do agree with everything you said, yet my preference is something I hold with high regard. I can't seem to get anything to work in Kimera, because I am too lazy to figure it out. @Weeemus made an excellent Buster Sword Model that looks great.

EDIT: I have always wanted to see someone make it so that the field models had their different weapons equipped at different times. I understand that this is pointless due to the fact that one would have to recreate the char.lgp for each individual weapon for each character. However, I still think it would be awesome if Cloud Strife could have the Ultima Sword on his back as Field and World Map Models.

To replace any models you only need to use ulgp 0.5 or Aalis original lgp tool (use the search and look through the results there are plenty of tutorials) if you know how to use command line. I think that in the new bootleg (0040) all of these models will be supported.
 
Excellent work so far, I hope this project doesn't stall out along the way.

Unfortunately I do get rather busy at times, So it may take a few days or perhaps weeks for a model to be completed, Unless it happens to be a weekend and I happen to be free of my freelance jobs, I can finish a model in a day  :)

Ha Cheers mate. Glad you like it.
 
@weemus

In a day? Do you have to be extremely skilled to do that for models similar to yours? I'm just curious to the amount of skills and practice actually needed.

Oh no I do it the cheap way. Let's say I made an arm and leg once. I would use that for the rest of the characters but remodel it and morph it to how i want it to look and ofcourse by adding new faces for certain areas ie sephiroths shoulder armor or Cid's jacket has a picture on the side of his arm. It get's results and done quicker!
So alot of slicing and cutting and then mesh smooth  modifier ( when necessary ) and remove the unnecessary faces/vertices by wielding the vertices together  :mrgreen:

As for the head, i would use the original battle model in the back as reference and create the head by constructing planes ontop of it if that makes sense? lol

In other words, I'm not as skilled as how you think i am. But thanks!  :)

Heh. Well if you ask me, that in itself is skill 8) .
Anyways, I'm looking forward to that FMV Sephy :) .
 
Sneak peek of my Sephiroth in the first post  ;)

That's one awesome Sephiroth! :D

By the way @Weemus, after doing all of the FMV characters, are you also going to do Baby Fantasy? I think that would be great. :)

Thanks!
Baby Fantasy was just a testy with hrc resizer at 70% with SD checked.  :D
You can change it with that after my release of the full size models. For me I think it's still not baby enough lol I would remodel it abit if i were to actually port it as a true retro chibi character.

Anyway updated the screenshot of Sephiroth! His body is complete! What's left to do is his head, hair and texture + uv mapping
