Ifrit looks good, but Squall is amazing.
Looking back on how ugly the original was, you've really done a great job to make it look this good without even changing the geometry.
 
Great work FeliX. I have been wanting to find a way to re texture the world map and all the 2D background images and battle screens basically everything but the 3D models as you are obviously working on that. I have no experience doing this stuff but I do have Adobe CS5 Master Collection if that would help doing the 2D stuff or would I need something completely different. Let me know what kind of programs I would need to extract the images of the 2D stuff and what I would need to edit them besides photoshop. Can't wait to see more of your 3D models
 
To extract any textures from FFVIII you need Noesis (noesisv283) and you can edit with photoshop cs5 the textures on a 3d model directly (open the .obj file with photoshop, open a texture slot inside a photoshop and drag and drop the original texture there so you can edit it). But the project is pending cause the way now we tryed to inject textures didn't work right, so I pray for that Aali can make the modpath workin with this textures
 
Okay thanks for the info I will mess around with it a bit and see what I can do. If I can get anything good to come out of it I will post some images here

edit:

I could not find version the version you suggested but I did find version 332 and I managed to extract some .obj files but when I try to open them in photoshop I just get an error that it wasn't parsed right or that I don't have enough ram when I have 4gigs and only about 54% of it is in use plus a ATI HD Radeon 6970 with 2Gigs of ddr5 ram so I don't know why it's giving me the not enough ram error could you explain a little better how to extract the files properly and how to insert them properly into photoshop. Thanks in advance

Nice work, though that Squall does look a little feminine.

Yeah^^ if you look on the videos he looks quite feminine=) Especialy with his light blue eyes (always thought before, that they are dark blue)
 
Really nice work, great to see more people working on FF8.

Any chance of seeing Shiva any time soon? Was always my favorite GF.
 
Sadly, we can only use battle models, which Shiva isn't, so it isn't gonna happen soon...

But if you really want, I can find a way to extract the textures from the game (I'm the one providing FeliX with textures and models).
 
The problem is now how to inject the textures. We can inject one texture per model, but a lot of models (including Squall and Ifrit) have two textures. So the only thing we can do is to wait for aali. And only after it will be possible to inject the textures, I'll start to make them
 
that doesn't if you make a picture with include 2 textures?

Yep, but for that we have to change the models UV's, but the problem is that we can't import them back also -_-
 
ok i understand   :(
oh and good work for your textures ;)

I wish... really! I'll donate such project if it's possible.
 
since it's just a re texture, No. someone remodeled everything, then yes, it'd be possible.

Felix, squalls jacket is supposed to look leathery :P
 
What is the status on this project?  Has anyone found a way to successfully import re-textures back into the game?
