Hey this is incredibly awesome... how hard does it take to create a new FF7 model from scratch?
 
Well I can't tell you how long it takes to makes a Final Fantasy VII model from scratch, I've never done it before! I guess I'll find out.



The boots took longer to make than the basic body design.
 
apz freak, Nice Body! did you use templates for build yours models?
If yes, can you send me some for male and female model, pelase? THX!
I cant find anything with 'anime' proportions like theses... XD

Scale Model Reference





This is the only thing I used at all. I'm in Art College, I haven't studied 3D models yet, but I'm doing this for real because that's what the pro's do!

If I used a blank template that would mean I haven't done anything yet. I'm making this from scratch. Completely from scratch!

Oi! Darn, My computer shut down when the power went out and I lost about a weeks worth of work. Luckily I saved it at a check point, I'm not as far as I was before the file got currupted. But here's what I have so far, it's not much, but the colors starting to make it come together better.

Man, and I lost all the muscle lines and allot of texture map skinning work. And the face I was starting to sculpt is gone. Darn! But I know what I'm doing and I'll be able to do it again, and do it even better!

Looking more epic everyday :D

Apz, would you mind sending me the belt and the Boots? these are the only parts that are making My model look Very bad. i cant quite seem to get them right :/ or at least tell me how i would go about making ones that look better than these:

Hello, how is your model going?

Please release it when you are done. This looks fantastic.
 
Yes, I will release this! :lol:

Send you the belt and boots? What I did was use photo shop to make better textures, the model's more or less got all the detail you need, maybe you can learn model texturing techniques by finding some faqs. I learned from reading faqs. Texturing I learned from the tutorial files found in 3dsmax! I wouldn't be doing my job if I did it for you! You can do it, like I always say "If you keep pounding your head against the wall you'll eventually break through" I was able to learn most of this stuff by myself, you can do it too!
 
:D thanks apz. You've been the most inspiring person EVER on the internet...EVER :P
hope your project turns out great!
 
I actually just finished Crisis Core and have been on a Final Fantasy kick since, almost as much as when I finished XII and had to replay 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 back to back to restore my faith in the series.  It's really cool to see people doing this sort of stuff; it's filling my head with ideas of completely redoing the 3d elements of FF7 with updated textures, higher poly counts, taking the maybe-remake into our own (the fans) hands.

Anyway, great work apz, I stumbled upon your last thread through NeoCloudstrife's recent thread, awesome work.  I can't wait to see what you can do with this.
 
Well, since reconfiguring the muscle lines again is alittle depressing after loosing all my work... I started somewhere else. Here is the completed Shoulder Armor. This is the level of texture quality I'm going for, as much realism I can get away with and still put it in the old game.

update: I've decided to texture a few things before finishing my modeling. That's not the real way it'd be done, but I'm doing what gets me motivated faster! Here's what I just textured since I made this new reply.

some of you may be faster modelers, but I think I own the monopoly around here on texturing!  :-D

Wow, that looks really good *drools*

I am definitely going to use this when it comes out.
 
At this point I'm making all the textures separate, so they're slightly more highrez then they will be when I compile everything into the final one I'm going to release. The final will be one big texture 512x512, but I'll hang on to these separate ones for some cool poses. Trust me, when he's in the FFVIIPC you won't tell the difference!
