Ok, ok, I got it. Yes, the face looks really ugly in this shot. Actually it looks better without that shinny light from Biturn. Anyway, I admit my failure. Let's just forget about that model... for now :-P.
I supose I can use recycle some parts for other models.
About the size of the boobs... no, frankly I don't think they are too small. What I think is that the original ones were far too big.

Thanks for your answers! One more small opinion from me, if you care to read. About "boobs". My take, and perhaps many others' as well, is that it would be good to make the models better (like you do so wonderfully) and at the same time try and keep a little of the original characteristics of the original models.

Now, having big boobs is one of the characteristcs of Tifa and, how to say, make her boobs normal surely makes it more realistic but it loses something more important: identity. It's liike making Lara Croft's original boobs (Tomb Raider 1, I mean) smaller. I have always been against to making them bigger but liked to have them like they were the first time wa saw her on the original game.

Another example: perhaps we might think that in the future Cloud should look better without those impossible spiked hair. It would be more realistic. But just as for Tifa's boobs (even the colours seem so much more faithful in the former model, Borde), it would mean to create almost a new character. A character people that played the game before will not identify himself with.

Hopefully my feedback can be of some use to you, guys!

And thanks for everything!  :-)

I think these are two characteristics.  :-D Just kidding!
But I know what you mean. These kind of problems apply to all sorts of "improving" projects like retexturing for FPS games. It is sometimes difficult to improve and heighten the resolution the original texture without loosing the original art and putting too much of your own "vision" into it, which shouldn't be the goal of such a project - IMHO.
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.

Hm, I guess we just have different opinions about this point, because I think it is important that they look at least similar.
I think that one of the great things about this mod is, that all models - ingame, battle, world and AVIs - finally look alike and thus the game feels more complete. This improves the immersion feeling a lot.

I agree with miracle.flame that it would be better if you guys first complete the "half realistic" models before starting to even further improve the already finished ones. Otherwise - apart from the fact, if they fit to the backgrounds and movies or not - we would have three different kind of models: the original low poly ones, the half poly "battle like" ones and some more realistic with more human faces. And this mixture would really look a somewhat weird.

Awwww... I think I haven't explained myself correctly. I'm not interested in making models "realistic". I just want them to have better quality. But seriously, I find original Tifa's boobs plain disgusting. Just an opinon and I can see It's not very wide-spread.
About how the models fit... well, just take a look at the original field models. They barely resemble what you can see on the movies or even on the fights.
My personal opinion is that we should do them as good looking (not necesarily realistic) as we can. They won't fit in those lowress backgrounds, anyway. Nor even the battle models do.
Stormmedia's model looks very good. I think It's not very diferent from what you can see on the videos.
 
Yes lets just end this now and start it chatting about it when we get to v1.0
Who knew that boob's would spark so much agro

Back to topic more pics time
Wizard - (gabe)
Knight - (dzbb)

@Borde: Yes, I can see your point; but this what I meant with difference between personal opinion and what the game art looks like. I think that the other example with cloud's hair was very good, since I personly think that his haircut (and also his giant sword) look totally ridiculous and stupid, but even so I would be against changing that, since it kind of belongs to the game.

Nah, no agro - just constructive criticism.  :-D
And as you should know I was already "discussing" other model modifications before. ;-)

Anyway, nice new pictures!
 
He's right.  :roll:

By the way my opinion about the boobs... the old - too big, the new - too small. ))) Now I don't think it's the size of the boobs that makes them ugly in old model..it's just that shape. They are shaped somehow weird. If they were shaped like on Borde's new model but slightly bigger. Now, that would be it.

I second that. Being that big and low-poly make them look like 8-faced horizontal piramyd instead of sferic.
 
Jejeje! ok, ok, I understand. By the way, good pics ice_cold513. I'm specially surprised with the knight, very good job.
 
That Knight is fucking great !! Could he be added as a PC in the team ??  :-D he would be more fine than Cait  :wink:

Anything is better than that traitor! >:(
 
I know I should stop doing off-topic comments but I can't resist :-P.
I see everyone hate Cait Sith with passion. He is certainly a traitor (and quiet useless in battles too), but I'd also like to remember you all that Avalanche is a terrorists group and in their bombing missions many innocents get injured or dead. It's quiet interesting how Cait Sith is the only one to point this in the hole game (correct me if I'm wrong)
 
You have a point, Borde. And personally I never disliked Cait Sith...  :wink:
 
I never disliked it either... as a plot character. He really sucks combat-wise, though :D
 
I too, like him, he has a very valuable kind of humor.

I like Cait XD anyway ... Barret himself told that Avalanche has done MANY innocent victims  .... not only Cait... ah and Biggs too at the Sector 7 Reactor
 
Well, I've been working this weekend in one more character. I hope this one is less problematic:

Not a great thing but, meh, It's the first NPC y do in a lot of time.
