if you look at the original, the bricks are quite long, so if you are going to find a source image, keep that in mind, if you do the texture filter in photoshop, do lots of brushwork on top of it to dirty it up.
 
I did that with the dirt. But i'm not to happy with it. I think i'll redo it
 
photosourcing rarely works well in 3d, and you've reaaaally gotta know what your doing, plus photorealistic textures just... wont fit in ff7 :P
 
if you wanna do that go for it, but our 2d overhaul is by in large original content, if not created by us, then the exception is created by square (artwork avatars). Filters can be helpful, but are not a be all answer to making nice images.

Here is the ground i made for our test:

the issues with photosourcing, they usually dont til well, and you'll need a lot of tiles for this many bricks :P also... yes the ground has bricks on it.. its not a wall though! cobblestone, ever heard of it? its not the same. anyhow, most of the work that'll make an image more real is in the grunge. adding a brick pattern doesnt do much on its own other than make it look fake. you need to put a personal touch on your art otherwise it looks like stock images, and for all the work we do on ff7, i'm not gonna lower our standard to stock.
 
Alright, took a whack at making this texture, and with timu's help, this is what i came up with



Needs some work i know. But so far i'm liking it. opinions on the curb please. as i made that entire brick section myself :-D
 
That is THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST etc etc
I think that the curb should show some elevation against where it meets the brick
or maybe a small division between the two

also 1920x1080 res please

the curb is a bit too high (up down on the texture) other than that its nice, is that downscaled? or did u make it at 600/600 :P
 
I made it myself, i painstakingly made a brickish style picture. then saved it as a texture for texturizer cheats way i know. But it worked :-D

Also it's downscaled haha

WOW!!!  :-o :-o Incredible!! Good work. ;-)
 
I think the bricks look too deep inbetween... Maybe too low res too idk, something just look weird bout it. =/

Anyways, started working on a background texture. So much work for these...

Good first attempt but those bricks stand out way too much, Dirty them up, fade the color, and try to make the lines between bricks less noticable

edit: So i just finished up bahamut zero and i must say it is pure awesomness

the change you made to the background is very nice. How did you do it?

S: did you get a chance to look over how that texture looks in game yet?

This is incredible!

aaronlite, if you successfully replace 2D backgrounds in this game, I promise you that people will treat you as a god amongst men. That's basically the holy grail of FF7PC hacking.

This. I'd say that higher resolution, true-to-the-original backgrounds are now on top of my list of most wanted mods for FF7.

Now then, have you tested these backgrounds in the actual game, aaronlite? I remember that Seifer tried upscaling them with photoshop a while ago and the tiles didn't fit together any more. That was an awfully big shame :cry:
 
Aaronlite and Hellbringer,

Maybe ya'll should create your own threads about your work?
Kinda like how Pyrozen has his own world map retexture thread.  It would be easier to follow everyone's work if it wasn't all jumbled into a single thread.
