They look really great!
 
only the cutting is missing to integrate it into the game :D good job ^^
 
Thanks guys. Appreciate the feedback!  :)

I'll try to get it in the game if you think it's ready.
 
This is really great work! Your materials could use a bit more detail to them though. You seem to have the right metal detail and color, but you don't have any roughness, so it looks like brand new brushed metal. You could also use some bump maps to further add detail to the metal and supports. The geometry overall is great, but your materials just look too clean, particularly for a power "Makou" plant. What are you making your textures in? You could either bake your texture maps and further detail them in Photoshop, or I would suggest looking into a student or trial version of Substance Painter. It's become the standard for painting textures, particularly since it supports PBR. If you end up needing to buy a license I think the Indie version is only about $100, and well worth it (same as any other version, just mean you work alone or in small groups, a larger studio needs a different license).

Nice post cmh175! Thanks for getting me out of the inconvenient position to mention any corrections concerning the detail...
 
Thanks, cmh175. Great suggestions. It does look a bit too clean and the surfaces lack detail. Wasn't going for an entirely realistic look, to be honest. More of an 'anime style' which I think FFVII generally uses. But I'll spend more time detailing the surfaces, hopefully I can improve the overall look. Very time consuming process, unfortunately.
 
Thanks jusete! Your own BGs inspired me to continue, they look awesome :)

So I've been experimenting with textures and materials to help me improve md0. Made a simple pipe section to give me some ideas how to proceed.

Here's a less corroded version. Shinra's Corporate Headquarters probably isn't surrounded by rusted junk.  :D

I have to say I REALLY like this and can sort of see where you're going with it. If any detail were to be added, I'd say keep it minimum as seen in the FMVs. I've always dreamed of FF7 in that style but simply in higher resolution.
