kuroda this is awesome! is your previous account murak modder? because i saw your thread on ff7 citadel and your malachi mod... anyway nice stuffs and great tutorials for the newbies

p/s: its harder to create something from scratch in blender than in 3d max if you are texturing it ( sometimes it wont load in pcreator )
 
No, I'm not Murak, I'm actually a girl he knew called Lucy Doyle, he used to have me talk to people and pretend to be him on msn and forums if he was too lazy to actually do it himself, so he showed me how to do things in a similar manner to him so hopefully no one would tell the difference. (although he did backseat mod when I was working on some of the models saying ;it should be better', 'no one is going to find THAT interesting, use a different base....' and he made me want to gouge out his eyes after a while! lol

Something being harder in blender instead of 3DS Max, now that is just if you're familiar with one programme, personally I can't use blender to save my life, but blender itself is described to be one of the harder programmes to get your head around, but once you understand it, I understand that blender might be better than 3DS Max (apart from some features of 3DS Max) in terms of actually making models, but regarding texturing something you made from scratch, I personally find the best programme to be milkshape because of the simplicity of the texture assignment features of it.

and a new yuffie wip (yes I know the battle chestplate is too dark)

Play a little with kimera, it'll be best to just play around before you get a eye for things and really tweak models, you can change colours by picking the box that says something like 'palletized mode detection threshold' then clicking a colour and changing the RGB values of it, or by using the paint bucket.

Ah, nice.. Never doubleclicked. :P I managed to give Cloud's Torso the color "Red", and to change some colors too.. =)

Nice Tifa. =)

Edit: Does anyone know what name Vincent's Animations & Weapons have? I am searching through the archive, but it is not easy to find.. I found his limit form though, but i need his "standard" animations. :/

Vincent's animations? well, the battle animations are the ??da, so his battle animations would be sfda, sgda, shda, but his field animations would afdf.a, afea.a and afeb.a.

Thanks I thought that was a good design for tifa as well, the normal one looked kinda slutty in my opinion, after all, she does run all over the world in a miniskirt and practically with her boobs hanging out, this has more of a warrior feel to it, but is still tifa.

...and yuffie has all of those materia rings because she's obsessed with materia :P

You should try to splice some models instead of just recolouring them, you splice a model by deleting all but a certain part of a model, then adding it to another model, such as the pauldron off the MP and adding it to tifa or cloud's shoulder. (example)

or a arm without anything on it, cutting it in half, then changing the colours, then adding it back on and deleting the old area that you're changing for the newer part with the colour adjustments.

edit: new sephiroth and a updated yuffie.

By Weiss, do you mean him?

290px-Weiss_2.jpg


Personally I don't see much of a resemblance other than him having white hair since the hair styles are pretty different, but if you WANT... I could try to make a proper Weiss.

Thanks for the comments, and tomorrow I'm going to be releasing some of this stuff since my designer gave me the OK on some of these models, if you want to, you can consider it a Christmas present of sorts.

Oh, I'm trying to make some FF6 models, namely Locke, Edgar, Sabin, Terra and Kefka.

Mini replacements are:

Locke - Reno
Sabin - Rude
Terra - Elena
Edgar - Rufus
Kefka - Tseng

(and might see about making the shinra employees the brown soldiers from FF6, a male and female version, and since they only appear as field models, I can be LAZY, lol)

I started to work on Locke, although I'm wondering what kind of head to give him, but I'm wanting to make him not incredibly muscular so there's more differences between him (and the other guys) and Sabin, a Martial artist :P

Although for Sabin, should he wear a pink/purple tank top, or just be bare chested?
 
Okay, I started to TRY to do Weiss, so far I tried his weird gun katana weapon.

Remembers me on the Gunblade of FF8.. Even if the Gunblade is more like a sword, and this one is more like a sword (katana..)..

Nice work though! :D
 
is this any better than my last try?

gunblade_try_2_by_video_boy_mal.jpg


oh, and I tested this ingame and Vincent is able to use it and actually hold the handle and the gun part actually faces the enemies, lol.
 
Wow, looks great! Can't await to get it. ^^

If you replace these characters.. Why don't you import Vivi, Zidane, Garnet, Kuja, Squall, Cifer/Seifer, Quistis and Edea too? :D Just for the battles. ;D

Invincible for Highwind! Or Ragnarok. ;D

Edit: I think a lightsaber would look funny too. o0

Well, I'm not actually importing anything, just making crappy attempts at them from already existing bits and pieces from FF7.

Vivi, I THINK I can do him, there's a wizard in FF7 and I think i can get a pointy hat from a battle model, although, if i was making a battle model, who exactly would he replace? there isn't anyone... that... short, lol.

but I could see about making some FIELD models since those only take about 10 mins to make something that resembles someone and make them people in FF7. for example...

Squall - the knight in the play (name change and make him hold a gunblade)
Seifer - Dio (I can just picture him running a battle square)
Vivi - the wizard in the play (or the chocobo sage)
Zidane - the black guy on the train that gives you a Hi-potion. (it seems fitting for some reason)
Kuja - he could be someone, dunno who offhand, maybe Zangan?
Garnet - I can imagine her being a member of the Gold saucer staff.
Quistis - Scarlet?
Edea - what about Ifalna?
oh, and what about Eiko being Priscila?
 
I don't think they are crappy. :P The attempts are successful, imho..

@Field Models
Eew. Don't like the idea. :P I would prefer them as battle models. =)
 
Yes, battle models ARE prettier to look at... but there is a tiny detail.... they need someone to actually replace, also... it takes much longer to make a GOOD battle quality model :P
 
:/

Just take all of the characters and replace them. xD Then you could switch to them, if you want to use a different character.

Thats impressive too: https://www.ff7catalog.com/threads/4686/

I bet you could do something equal! Wish i could create a doublebladed weapon.. But i didn't have a success yet. And i have to go in around 1-4 hours (not sure when exactly).. Christmas. >_>
 
Okay, I'm a woman of my word, so here's most (I missed a few things since i didn't have the chococar or the chococycle on me)of the things shown in this thread.

on a unrelated topic, we got a wii, Mario Kart and Super Smash bros Brawl, and kinda spent most of the day setting the wii up and playing eachother on brawl. (I was Zelda)

this isn't open source, but if you want to us it for anything or for your own personal mods or edits, we would like to be asked and given credit if this is used.
 
Great, thanks a lot! I will look into the archive later, just got home, some minutes ago. :P Hope you had a nice christmas time. =) I will try to recolor Aeris later. ^^ I tried it before i went to my relatives, but i just recolored Aeris.. Have to change some of her again.

Congrats to your Wii!
 
Did you test it out yet? anything missing or any bugs that you can see?

oh, I decided to work on the FF6 people some.

here's sabin (sucky)

and Terra (she corrupted when I was fixing the hair, which was pretty much NPC recon Shera's hair with some editing)
