Thanks, I'd like to help.... maybe I'll have some time.... ;)
anyway you all are doing a great job
 
Since it's been a long time since I showed some real activity in this project, I'm posting a little screen of my latsest work:
TifaComp.jpg

I'm not very satisfied with the result... Oh well, I've already spent enough time with it. You can decide for yourself If it really deserves been included into the patch.

Well duh, her boobies are too small, of course you are not satisfied with it! :-D

Just kidding, this is not an actual vote on the matter. :-)
 
The face texture look kinda strange or it's just me?

Thinking about this... how about an AC-like Tifa? :grin:
 
This has been discused a lot of time.... first because making a model as detailed as the AC models would take too much time and ... and.. haha well.. it wouldn't fit with the creepy backgroud anyway... even if we one day manage to filter them.

Well good work Borde with Tifa... just the texture of the eyes that would need to be changed a bit... but beside that it's a good model  :-) (just to let everyone know.. there is a texture for the mouth in Borde's tifa Model and it's a good one... it's just we don't see it in the shot.)

I too started to work on a model hehe.  I just have the final change to do and I will give you a shot.

I like the previous model more. Maybe I'm just used to it. But the new face is really strange..the body is nicer, though.

Then again, I looked at the model and now I know what so strange about the figure besides face. It's those huge boots! OK, I like big boots but not on someone practising martial arts. The new model has more frail body. Like in AC. But the boots make it look really weird. Borde, if you don't want to mess with the new model anymore then I'm for the older one.  :-)
 
I didn't meant AC-like  detailed-wise, but look-wise ie clothes and such.
 
ice_cold513 : Nice models again :-) nice work!

NeXaR: Well if you just meant with even more detail than the one we do right now... well it's just a question of time since Reunion made possible to import 3ds to ff7.  My model I doing right now is made entirely from the scratch with 3ds  :-).  I didn't import it in ff7 yet though... it's still being constructed.  But the problem we have with the clothes is that ff7 engine doesn't support skins witch mean that we have to use more than one parts for only one clothes.

Anyways here a shot of what I've done so far with this model... it's snwom_sk:

I'll have to refine some parts.... especialy the boots... the colors aren't like they will be... I will have to recolor it once I will convert it in ff7 model anyway... so I didn't took the time to color it perfectly.

And more importantly they won't fit the characters displayed in the ingame AVI movies. And unfortunately neither does Borde's new Tifa model.
I think for this mod it would be the best to stick most close to the movie models. Therefore I really think you should keep the old battle Tifa! It would fit the game in much better way!
(The new one also looks a little bit strange to me with its feet and the new face.)
 
Well... I don't realy agree with you about that... that's true that it will be a little weird because of the movies... but I think that we should do the models the better we can ingame ... beside... why not change the one in battles as well one day ??.. don't you think that the gaming experience would be even better with battles with even better models ?? hehe...  even though the avi movies will still look wierd... I don't think it's very important.
 
No, because the difference lies not only with the movies, but - like you said also before - also in the backgrounds. And as much as I like and prefer the new High-Poly models, a too realistic look will clash with the rest of the game. Your new model, unfortunately,  has the same problem. It looks much better and much more realistic than the old one and judging independently would be the better choice (and must have been quite some work ;-) ), but it doesn't fit very well with the rest of the game.
If you would make a total remake, than I would also opt for a totally realistic look, but as it now is: Please leave the "old new" Tifa.  :-)
 
Well.. my new model... or the new tifa one will still fit the background... what wouldn't fit the backgroud is only if we makes too much material information in our models... like makes a shirt looks as realistic as we even see all the detail of the textil.  But anyway I don't think that the .p files support such material infromation... as I said I beleve the new models will fit anyway... once I got my models in ff7 I gonna give you a shot of what it looks ingame :wink:.
 
Keep up the great work. I don't think more precise model would be much more unfitting in the background because if you use hi-res patch and eventually even anti-aliasing then just about anything looks quite unfitting in the pixelated backgrounds.
But it would be more appropriate to make those models that were not touched yet and perfectionize after. I would not like to sound pushy, don't get me wrong. But there is still chance that after some time you maybe wouldn't be able to finish your work or something and there will remain models untouched that would look inadequately next to those remade several times. That would be great pity, no?
 
I personally like better the model to the right as I find it more faithful to the original...And no, not only because of the bigger boobs!  :-D I believe I can say I second Wintermute's opinion about models. But no matter what you decide to do I will always be infinitely grateful for your hard job! I just hope our feedback is appreciated...

miracle.flame: Don't worry I don't think we will stop working on the project ... well I don't think we will stop soon anyway... there is slow down sometime and even pause in the work.. but totaly stop... I think it will be long before that happen hehe...

Salk: Well ... once the models are all finish we gonna remake some models... if not all... because we want to do them the better we can... but we will always make sure that it still fits with the rest of the game... exept maybe for the preredered video (the .avi) I mean... I don't think it's important that the models are exatly looking like them... I think we should just take them as model... but improve them.  Anyway... we still have new models to do before redoing models.... I don't think Borde will decide to add the new Tifa model in the next patch since nobody seems to want it... ... but at the end we will rework on all the main character models to improve them... if the new Tifa model is not in the next patch... it is still a good start to improve Tifa isn't it :wink:.
