@NCS
Do you mean an actual modified version for the weapon in game or just the start menu??  If you mean in battle would you be able to help me find it?
 
Since mill hasn't released it himself I'm going to go on a limb and say you won't find it anywhere here but as long as you don't share it you can modify it yourself.
 
I would love to give it a shot myself but unfortunately I have no idea how to get to the model itself to actually recolor it. When I get to the file from opening the battle lgp what can I do from there?  I'm really sorry i understand this is a basic question but I have never done anything like this before.
 
Those models aren't really colored like standard weapons, but textured so you'll need some skill and/or more advanced graphic program, depending how much you wanna edit it.
 Use program like img2tex to convert "rtad" which is texture file into bmp, edit as you wish then save and convert back to tex file. You'll need to edit it's name and cut .tex which is added after conversion before you put it back to your battle.lgp.

Quick and dirty update >_>
 
I like that version, is more colored, I like the combination, are you studying graphics design, you are a good designer and fast, keep the work please, hehe :P
 
Nice one as always, I'm quite subjective through as I would use your weapons in game even if you would replace Sephiroth Masamune with pink teddy bear on the stick. :P
 
Wow Millenia you rock!... can't wait for a release.  I'm still gonna do what miseru said though so I can see what texturing is all about. I would love to learn.

Not really a tutorial, but shows my workflow.

This is great! I think the only thing I would change is the materia slots, should be in the centre.
Don't get me wrong, most of the time I love your artistic license, but changing something as iconic as the Buster Sword too much, will make lots of people sad! :D
 
Can't change it without breaking the uv mapping on the blade and don't really want to redo >_>
 
Wow really loving it! Aren't the sword supposed to have some kind of lines in the blade on the sword itself? Are you planning to do those too or you're done with it?

Uh, don't think it has those. Where'd you get such an idea?
 
Oh.. I'm talking about this lines.

If its going to be recolored to be gold I just thought you can change the texture and add those too. :)
 
Thank you both Millenia and Miseru for helping me understand how to change the textures. I am proud to say I actually got it in game on my own lol. I know its not nearly as good as Millenias because I have no experience at all and I was using a terrible photo editing program but I am just happy enough I got my buster sword in game and looking a little more like the original. I just really wish I could be able to center the two holes and then it would be perfect but I still have no idea what that whole U/V mapping thing or even modeling at all.
