It's for FMV's and field on the chance Aali can incorporate 3d camera movement

I don't think that's something Aali has to worry about. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Spoox I recall you finding a way to extract the camera movement from the game, at least at certain points?
 
A little fine tuning and remodeling of some parts and this model is finished.

As incredible as that looks... where's the little terminal that they use to try and disarm the bomb?

you mean probably this...
yes we can recreate all the cutscenes. (there is already a 'techdemo' of the first in game scene...)
We can even put them ingame...

Redoing the top of the shinra hq, floor 65-70.
 
Wow, looks very good and awesome... If Square were to *finally* do a remake, they might ask you. You really are awesome. Keep up the good work!
 
Every time I see an update on here I get excited to see FFVII come to life all over again. I just cant wait to see what you guys will do next.
 
Update :

Added the 2 round lights on the appropriate sectors.
Added a pipe on sector 7 however I miscalculated the size/length so I must re-do it.
Added a pipe on sector 3 going in to the 2 round towers.
Added various pipes on sectors 4-5.
Also you can see the base for the new HQ top half :P. (Thanks to Roxas for the amazing new reference images.)

How the hell do you find time to do this? It seems like you're updating it AT LEAST once a day.
 
Well I recently left my job and am looking for a new one so I have a lot more spare time on my hands then before  :mrgreen: 8-).
 
Last update for the night, then I must sleep.
Curved the central tower like it should
Remodeled the top of the HQ.

Sapphire, I must ask.... did you work with the original FFVII team or something, cause you're talents are very much professional looking.

Makes me happy to hear that, I was pretty careless with my old model of Midgar the poly/tris count was over 700,000. But i've taken a lot of care and put so much more detail then ever before into this version and it's still a really low poly/tris count standing at.

128,698 Poly's
207,458 Tris
283,629 Edges
181,975 Verts

It's small enough to fit into a game engine like Crysis, this is excluding the slums and the undercarriage of Midgar.

But I can pretty much call the top of Midgar complete, minus the buildings and a few detailing etc..

Spoox is in charge of adding the undercarriage for Midgar, Spoox is responsible for the plate population.
 
A video of my Midgar, it's a flythrough render only.


A little mako burst test.

Vid looks great! Model looks, well y'know amazing, fantastic, astounding, etc

Mako burst looks good as well. I assume you took ref from that FMV along with the flashback in AC?

Correct, I used the FMV and the Flashback as reference :).

I'm updating the reactors.
Adding mesh to the back vents and making the plates mesh and not a bump map.

Heres the progress so far.

Updated the reactor, instead of using bump maps for the panels I'm attempting to create them using actual mesh.
