Omg this is amazing. I've been busy the last few days and come back to this. I'm impressed, looks like Midgar is close to completion. Just a few things left like the slums and some buildings, but the majority of Midgar is out of the way now. Great work guys.

So after you're done the Midgar project do you think you'll model other areas in FF7? I mean that would be a huge undertaking for only 2 guys, so I wouldn't expect you to. Hopefully your work here will inspire others to make FF7 a whole lot better. I don't see Square Enix making a remake anytime in the near future.

After I finish on Midgar I will be putting my focuses into recreating the interior for the ShinraHQ. However after that I beleive I will be taking part with the others on creating other Final Fantasy 7 places :).

Update :

Looks astounding!

You're gonna love the newest batch of reference shots I have from Dirge of Cerberus' FMVs. :D
 
After that you could try working on the Train Graveyard or the Junon fortress outside :wink:.

I think Junon is already being worked on by someone. If not perhaps I will.

I've been adding random stuff to fill the plates in, it's actually a very hard task but I managed to some stuff down.

The new stats have certainly jumped.

574.756 polys
1,097,123 tris
1.171.142 edges
644.779 verts

Heres the render.

Came across this pic, dunno if it's close to the original tho.

Nice dude you got an entire plate done. Keep up the amazing work.

Cant wait to see what it looks like with textures.

In most fan renders the WIP plates on the outside all use the same model.
The broken plate remains didnt look realistically in the SE original and the houses on the plate are
not very different beside the station area.

Do you know if the PS3 demo is a correct recreation beside Aerith missing face and Cloud?
 
Here are as many photos as I can find of the 1/1000 model of Midgar, shown at the Advent Children Complete press screening. Perhaps it'll also be of help, since I think I'm fresh out of reference shots from VII games.

Video which has a few shots as well: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/usermovies/103548.html

I really have no idea why there aren't more photos of this amazing model. :(

The PS3 TD, and AC are very different from the original (FF7-PSX) version(just have a look at the train sequence of the intro), the detailing will be based upon the original.
Small details can be taken from the other models. (but as less as possible)
 8-)
 
I beleive Spoox is populating the plate for Sector 8 and 1 and I'm doing the rest with just random stuff.
 
Adding a bit more detail to the mako reactors, I need to make a few ajustments on the front part and it should look good but as for now it looks a tad bad.
