Check it out.

I added every small detail i could as well. Theres even shoe print thing under the shoe. Well you cant see it on this picture though, it was either i uploaded this scene or a pic of a shoe... lol

Anyway, The belts and everything are not textured onto the torso anymore, I created Shaped wrapped around the chest.

Also there is a nose hole which really enhanced his facial features. Who would of thought 1 small thing can do so much.

Currently the only thing i must do. Is create a new mouth since currently his mouth is just textured onto the face. Oh and maybe retexture his hair + eyebrows  and add eye lashes.

Man this is really annoying... But i managed!.

Drawing textures was as hard as modeling the head.  :x
I could have just copied the belt texture form any screenshot and edit it. But for me since everything is all original. I decided not to be cheap with the textures and draw everything myself on photoshop.

Oh nearly forgot... The buster sword.. I have the color right but missing the lines on the blade. (This buster sword is shown in the secret ending of crisis core i used that one as reference. Not the one with zack in gameplay.)

Hope this looks like cloud... after i remodeled the eyebrow and eye again  :|

 

[Otokoshi]

weeemus.... wow, that looks great, kudos to you.

If you're talking about editing the Sephiroth and opening scene into the game, it's already been done.  I want to say Otokoshi was the one to edit them in, but I'm not positive.

Thanks obesebear, yup that little project was mine.

Search otokoshi's opening and sephiroth fmv mod. There should be a download to that xivd codec.

I used to link to the Xvid version, but I got way too many emails about how to use them in game.  Apparently reading and following the instructions given to them is hard for people on the int3rnets.  So I eventually just linked the Indeo encoded video files.  I believe you can still find the ones I encoded in Xvid if you browse my FileFront files, should be under videos/xvid or something like that.  If anyone really needs them I'll upload again.

After that. Download virtualdub i think it was. Resize the video clip w 320 h 224 somewhere like that. Save the clip and use some xvid codec... Search otokoshi's opening and sephiroth fmv mod. There should be a download to that xivd codec.

Heres a idea for you if you end up just ripping from games. Use the CC special ending Where cloud goes to midgar as the opening fmv.

That is a great idea.  There is some boundaries you must stay within.  FF7 has a strange frame counter, so it counts the frames of the designated video and once it reaches it, the game will continue the gameplay with the midi music and whatnot.  As long as your video calculates to the same frame count as the original you are replacing, there shouldn't be a problem.  For example, all the default videos run at 15fps, and the opening video is 1m 59s roughly.  As long as your video replacing it meets the 1785 frames, there shouldn't be a problem.  One trick is to make a shorter length video then the one you are replacing and increase its fps.  I've done this with a new opening video and it worked with great results.

im sorry, i was using them as an example, im a little tired and that didnt come out in what i typed...lol but thx for linking them i didnt know he had them posted on here...i found them somewhere else

Wow, really?  I'd be interested to know where else this little video has traveled.  :-D

but ill let you know what software im going to use, im thinking right now that ill be able to use Adobe After Effects CS3 and the macromedia studio 8 stuff ive got...

That will definitely be more than enough.  I used VirtualDub and some image editor for my projects.  I was tempted to use some postprocessing, but with the color depth and size limitations, I figured it wouldn't show in the final product.

I wish either of you the best if you choose to recreate some of the fmvs.  I'm not positive about the legality, but I'm sure there are ways around it.  There are sites that openly offer all the fmvs and audio for just about every square/enix game.  They offer a disclaimer that only those that own the content may download.  I wouldn't bet the forum would host the patch, but one could post the web address, not link to said web address, where others can download off another host.
