Personally, I would prefer to see the original avatars made like PNG files (as they have transparent backgrounds). However, if you were to complete this with no issues involved I would most likely use it. I'd just have to see the new avatars first. I'm not feeling Tifa's, for instance.

I'll probably make three sets.

1. The original avatars with transparent backgrounds.
2. Advent Children avatars with transparent backgrounds.
3. Final Fantasy VII 10th Anniversary avatars with transparent backgrounds.

This might take a while because I have OCD and they have to be perfect. And I just got out of school and it's summer so I'm going to be out with friends and family. I'll try to work on it in my spare time.
 
TBH, it looks a little odd.

It might look OK, if you use the old style avatars; a lot of FF games have used transparent avatars on blue backgrounds, but transparent photorealistic AC avatars on the blue background looks wrong.
 
Maybe when the battle models are redone, a face pic of them would look good, in a 3/4 view.
 
I think it will look good with the 3d faces like Nightmarish said. That's what I just think though since the AC avatars look so real or human they don't fit with the rest of the menu. Can you try a 3d face for an example?? There's a Cloud, tifa and sephiroth etc in kh2 and doc of vincent model face(if you want to try it that is). :)
 
On such a richly coloured background, I doubt even 3D models will look good. It's a cartoony/anime-y background, so anything that's not 2D will look out of place.

3D models or photorealistic avatars can be OK, but only when the background is a more subdued colour; for example, this kind of thing would be fine in FF8, since the menu background is grey.

I'm taking a little break at the moment. School just let out and I'm hanging with some of my friends. I'll start it back up soon though.
 
For DarkFang, I've just tried turning images with transparent backgrounds too and it works in the game but I have to use mod_path which is only available in the latest driver(0.7.7b) but you know that version has many bugs right?? Do you know of any other way to input the transparent avatars in game??

Young Cloud Avatar for the 10th anniversary?? I think there is none. I think Nomura did one Original Cloud Avatar and one with the AC costume of Cloud so basically, no young cloud avatar. Also Nero did the 10th anniversary avatars too but he uses the original cloud as his young cloud too.

I meant the young Cloud avatar that's used in the game. It's not in the texture folder.
 
Never noticed that. Have you tried making a copy of cloud_00.png and rename it pcloud_00.png? Don't remember if they have different portraits so disregard that copy thing if I'm wrong.
