[WIP] HD battle scene pack

[BloodShot]

Following the motorball release, I've decided to redo other battle scenes in the game in higher resolutions because in my opinion, a low detail model fits better on a decent background then a high detail model does on a low-res one.

So far I have done Midgar Slums, Highway (from the MB revamp), the Sector 7 pillar control tower and stairs, Mythril Caves and both Shinra HQ battle scenes.

I plan on doing a couple more before I release a download

Woo! Looks awesome.

If I may ask, which Tifa battle model are you using in that shot?

 

[BloodShot]

Tifa model from dissidia I ported a while back when I was learning about using blender.

 

[XVermillion]

Ah, it's from Dissidia. I'm assuming that means it's not for download then?

 

[Rundas]

Unfortunately no, but you may do it yourself.

Revising the bloody shinra HQ texture

Bloodshot is scaring the children.

 

[Timu Sumisu]

Bloodshot, for the bloody shinra building, I wouldn't angle any of the blood splats, as the floor is mirrored, and it'll create an unnatural V shaped splat. Use that mirroring to make a puddle or long splat along the edge. Texture quality is good though, maybe make the wall/building panels a bit more defined, shadowing the lines more, and highlighting the edges.

 

[Kaldarasha]

Would it be possible to mirror the whole mesh along the XZ axis? If you make some parts of the bottom texture transparent, it would give a nice mirror effect for the surrounding.

 

[LeonhartGR]

Amazing work! That's the texture style I prefer. Love how sharp they look!

 

[BloodShot]

This better?

 

[LeonhartGR]

Slaughterhouse Shinra lol Throw some mako cells around as well...

 

[Template]

I don't know if "better" is exactly the way to put it  :-D It's horrible.
But it seems like you pretty much completely addressed what Timu was saying, I didn't really get it until you posted that, though. You can see how the farthest area is still mirroring a slanted bloodspatter but it doesn't look odd because it just doesn't end up being obviously symmetrical.

 

[LeonhartGR]

Seriously... I prefer the first version It would be nice to  watch mako energy flying around as well.

 

[Timu Sumisu]

the shadow lines might be a tad too dark but the scene reads much better. Well done.
