Well many of the backgrounds got flaws, I thought that was the reason you remade them? So changing the bad lightening in the scene above would not count as changing the background just improving it.

EDIT: Anyway give me a background I could do. :)

The reason they're being remade is because they are low-resolution. However, this lighting debate might be a grey area.
 
The reason we're doing this is not because we think FF7 could be better, but rather, because we think it's brilliant the way it is. The fact remains though, that the graphics aren't up to today's standards, and playing at higher resolutions makes the original 3D look a bit weak, and the 2D obviously has to be upscaled. If we could use the original models square used made for the original production of FF7 and re-render them at a higher resolution, we definitely would. I think those were all lost, though.

I still have one question though, where is this green light defined? Is it somewhere in the field file?

In bsx files. There ara one light and one color definition for each character.

The BSX data format in the Wiki? Just wondering suddenly. :D

I'm sure it's in qgears source somewhere.

Unfortunately POV does require light data for rendering. Fortunately you don't need it to do backgrounds. :D Irregardless POV isn't everyone's cup of tea. It's not the best nor the worst. Most people aren't familiar with it I've noticed. That being said no point porting stuff if people can't figure out how to use it. Also most people can use the tools they are familiar with (POV for me for example).

Hey i dont want to sound pushy or anythink but wats millenias status on the subject the last thing he was doing was wedge but did he ever do it o is he working on something else.    :|
 
Hay, I'm the one who poured his heart and soul into wedge!! :P

Regardless, Millenia's busy with other stuff recently, so he hasn't had the chance to do anything related to TA. Just gotta give it time and TA will have another activity surge eventually.
 
Exactly right NCS, just like I haven't worked on Jenova FF7, Griever FF8, Dagger, Cross, Hideous (think Tidus from FF10 LOL). or  Ktjn (FF12) for a while  these are stuff I do in my rare spare time. I have house repairs to do for goodness sake, so  just think of it this way people have other stuff they HAVE to do first. :D Besides that just getting things set up to do takes time on such projects.

Realize these people have other commitments that are higher priority than this and that those take precedence. As much time as they have committed to doing this and have accomplished I can appreciate the effort (having had some such projects before).  Burn out is a serious thing as well. If you spend too much time doing something the rest of the things you need to do will hit you hard.

It's not the end of the world if it isn't done by Christmas :D (besides they aren't paid professionals they are volunteers, with a good attitude to boot).

reason that you may not be getting good result's may mean it really isn't important to you, just saying
if you believe you can do it then you CAN do it :)

on topic :)

currently i think if you can find a place to fit, go for it. I'm extremely busy until the end of this year at least, though i am dying to finish the WMRP(at least one thing could be 100%). Anyone is welcome to work on that, the textures i have provided are enough to actually finish it without creating anything from scratch.

I know nearly ALL enemy models are open game, with the exception of like the first 7-8 in the game. The vehicles on the field map have all been modeled, but need textures. I am almost done with the buggy, but all the rest still remain. Battle scenes(excluding the bombing mission) are all open as well.

Most of what can be done is basic retexturing of assets to higher resolutions. I have nearly completed the Battle Arena(need to get back to that..90%..) and it took me a total of less than 3 hours.

TA is still here, but i can agree with the comment of being a bit burnt out ATM. I hit the WMRP hard for 6 months, and it was a HUGE PITA before Aali added the missing texture printout, which every TA member can agree with.

keep waiting, we're still here. And if your impatient just download some tools and create your own assets until we get back :?:

The team needs a final push to release the first "demo" of the project.
I guess it would motivate most of team members, as doing work and never see it in action might demotivate some of them.

One step at a time.
 
To be honest I havn't had much time to work on things these days. I have been working 12-16 hours a day and my wife is due to have our first child tomorrow. I do have some things that I have been planning on releasing but they are not related to the bombing mission (GUI v2.0).

Hey.. been a while, thought I should get to giving my Jessie model over to whoever wants to texture it/tweak :)

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=DS0Z3T85

I gave it as a 3ds import from blender so im not sure how it'll work.. just lemme know if you want the original .blend file :)

Is there any models left? I've done a Mono drive so ignoring that, only one i can think of is possibly the potion..?

Owen thought i would take a look at your model and its just the head i thought you almost had it done or was it and export error.
 
He SL1982 or Timu Just wondering if the first post can be updated. I thought someone had done Biggs, and I seen the MP was claimed but no one ever modeled it. I was just trying to see what was left hoping i can finish up some of what is left.

Edit: Potion almost done just hoping NCS can spruce up the textures.
