Waa haa, you're at the same age to mine. I also came in CG world (a beginner in other word ^^) last summer though I spent most of this time in 2D-digital area
Well, I'll wait for the completion of your very first progress. But I still recommend a careful plan before modeling models which just are in thought of being needed. Btw, are you doing the project yourself? That would cost you lots of time
 
I'm 16. I only learned how to model like late last year. So it's been only... 2-3 months i guess for me to learn how to do basic modeling and texturing. But withing the 2-3 months i didn't spend much time so not exact.
But i am no pro, still alot of things i have not learned such as animations in 3dmax. Then again everything is all self taught so yeah, kinda a pain in the ass, but i would say that i specialize in this category "I'll just say computer related"

For the model designs, I wasn't aiming to be exact, but my own version of it yet with a few of the same structure and designs as the original models.

Well then I am impressed then! :-D I started tinkering with 3DSMax around that age as well, but now I'm 22! It did help me when I took a 3D animation course in high school, That helped allot, but since it's a novice course only, I basically had to teach myself everything else I know.

I still say you need to add to the details though  :wink: It'll be a good practice!

by the way here's a picture of the new Cloud I made... (click on it to see it bigger) Notice all those tiny details, that's real important if you want to go work for some big company as a career!

My current new cloud. He has new eyes and eyebrows as well + re textured most things.

Still haven't finished the model yet. I need to re texture the pants and create new bottom legs + arms. Also hairstyle and plenty more such as 2 belts + 1 big belt and 2 straps + boots.

I uploaded a few pictures up onto my deviantart. Check them out links below.

Haha yeah i guess so. It is a good practice. Lucky you though. Got to be in a 3D animation high school. I never been to any before, but i would like to. =]

Nice cloud by the way.
 
Cool, it's coming along nicely, can't wait to see the finished product :-)
 
:-D finished product lol thats going to take awhile...

School starting soon again and upcoming exams, so i would quite busy.

Anyway heres a close up shot of the hi quality eye i was talking about last time.

(I added more lighting on this one so may look different the model. haha reminds me of twilight princess graphics this picture.)
 
Whoah! Getting way better there bud! Now you're really starting to impress me! :wink:
 
Thanks. doing small details and enhancements are quite fun actually  :-D.

Made a nose hole now and recreating lips. As it is just textured on before. Still alot to do...

As for hair should i leave it as it is? or create a new better one? like less blocky or a new texture eg like the tifa screenshot.
 
so what are you goina use to make the movie? ive got some unused editing software on my comp, and i was thinking about maybe remakeing a couple of the games fmvs...and seeing if i could get them to work like the ones they made for the ps3 release...(opening scene and sephi's fire scene if any1 hasnt seen them) im not goina try to make anything is such detail...but maybe change the fmvs to fit with some of the replacement mods out there? any ideas on the difficulty of that? i am aware it would be quite tedious but ive not seen any1 even mention it on these forums, was wondering if something about the game engine made it impossible...kinda like the better background images....

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.

found 'em... FMVs
 
It's very possible, I had a few pm's form people requesting me to recreate the fmv's.

I was planing hey why not, it's a good practice animations before i get into the short movie. But as of yet i am still learning how to animate, thanks to the people who has sent me some tutorials. I'll have to take a look at it soon =]. But right now still have to finish my model anyway.

Well you can try if you like  :lol: good chance for you to be the first fmv mod guy =P that created from scratch.
Difficulty? depends on your model. but everything takes time and would be pain in the ass here and now.

Anyhow! Create your clip with whatever program your using.

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.

After he says "I'm cloud" fades out to black, cut it there! and then the game begins. (you don't always need him jumping off the train)  :x

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

and weeemus thx for the info, ive played thru this game so much on the psx ive gotten tired of the same content givin to me in the same way lol now that i got my pc version working and all these new mods (rcp/prp) the fmvs dont seem to keep up with the field chars lol

ill have to figure out how to use my editing software...i used to use them but that was about 3 versions ago and it all seems different to me now lol ill start simple with using other videos and maybe make me own original content sometime...thx again for the info
 
Your welcome  :-D But hey may i ask. Whats the name of the program called? And is it on windows?

Haha as for me i played it too much that i can't believe i never touched it again  :|
 
Actually, if you ever get down to it, recreating the movies would be an awesome idea as that's one of the only parts in the game that still needs major improvements (apart from the background obviously).

However, I'm sure Square would take issue to that so you would basically need to work on them in secret and release them only when done through torrent or whatever so they can't be stopped once released!

That, however, would be somewhat of a shady way of doing it plus you'd have loads of work to basically handle alone.

No matter what comes out of it, keep up the good work!  :mrgreen:
 
Oh what! you cant release fmvs as well? @.@ even if its from scratch?

gee that sucks... Come to think of it what about dead fantasy? did he have to take that down as well?
 
Dead Fantasy's still up I think, I watched it the other day.
That is a truly awesome fan movie. :-D
 
Yeah it is  :-D But i mean the original author, i can only find the clips posted up from other people.

well ive not figure out what to use and if i already have it or need to get more yet, im still new to this type of modding (mostly stuck with editing weapon stats and what not in other pc games) i havent actually started in projects yet but i really want to, and since the fmvs have been largely unaltered, i thought id start with that so that im not merely recreating something some1 else has created lol

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...and maybe some 3ds max for the modeling (i hope i can use it cause its really the only 3d thing that ive used much)

I'm no lawyer so I don't know where they would stand but if "re-made" high quality original FMV's without consent, I'd figure they would take offense.

As far as original content such as dead fantasy, I doubt they'd mind.

But then again I'm just a sales rep so what do I know!
 
I don't think they would mind, as it's no different from if you go on youtube and watch all the parodys that use the ingame engine, I mean seriously, what's worse, someone taking time and effort to make an awesome movie like dead fantasy, or someone changing the scripting from the ACTUAL game, and poking fun at it?
I hope to the gods, that Squeenix wouldn't be offended by someone making something like dead fantasy, because it takes a lot of talent to make.

In fact, they'd be better giving dead fantasy's creator a job.....
