Well. Hello Folks. How are you all doing?
:D.
As you all may know, timu sumisu, and neo cloud strife, and others.. are making custom models for the game Final Fantasy VII. And yes, I thought i would take a crack at it myself.
But instead of doing all the main characters like timu sumisu is going to do. I thought i would to some of the not so main, but all still so important. (such as rufus... hojo... and all them turks .. :wink:)
But, to start out, i thought i would do a dissidia style cloud. To test my skills.
Here is some shots of my work.
Mind you, this is my very first, utterly custom model.
So do not judge harshly.
:P.

Bare in mind,
There are merely W.I.P shots.
I have no idea how to texture... so ...
who knows what will ever become of these models.
This is all just for fun any ways.
:wink:
-
good start, a peice of advise though, try to keep things in one mesh, and try not to use primitives (spheres, cylinders)
-
wait...
how am i not suppose to use primitives???
O.o
-
you pretty much need a primitive to start some part of the model... unless you plan to abuse the create polygon tool...
I generally start all my models with a cube for the chest or a cylinder for the head...
-
well you can start from the face or chest with two vertices and then keep extruding them
but i would start with a cube or cylinder though
or use make human tool to create a human shape then based on the official art of cloud to edit
-
I will try that... when i am done doing this model my way.
hahahah.
*sorry if that sounded arrogant.. :|.... i am just messing with a lot of the functions now..*
I still want your guy's feed back.
:D
I took what you guys said into consideration.. and i am getting rid of the sphere shoulders..
and I merged the waist and chest.......
Hahah.
I also made the arms look more.... muscley..

i am redoing the feet... and i haven't done the shoulders yet.

I seem to remember Halkun saying (http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=8528.msg108566#msg108566) in Viashino's thread that the make human models are too high-poly for video games (or something like that :roll:). Can it make more basic human-shaped models as well?
-
Quite frankly.
The make a human tool. I am not going to use that, for anything but pure fun..
i want to make all the models, that i plan on using one day (most likely in the distant.. very distant.. future) by hand.
It gives me a sense of accomplishment.
Knowing i made this piece of crap from scratch.
:D
XD
-
I am using the dissidia model. as a reference.
Is that bad?

The Dissidia model will give you a good idea of the FF7 visual style. If you're doing characters tghat already have higher-res models, perhaps hyou could use those models as reference (such as Hojo's Crisis Core models).
-
alright.
Thanks.
:D.
I am redoing, the chest and head. they were really deformed.. if you looked at them from behind.
xD
xD
-
More Progress.
(http://i585.photobucket.com/albums/ss295/Wildsai/cloudstuff.jpg)
I am going to make the waist and the gluteous maximus (thinks i spelled that wrong.. O.O) next.
:wink:
So what do you guys think so far?
-
How many new posts are you making? lol, and does this topic mean you've given up on your chibi models?
-
Not at all.
My chibi mod is still going.
I just discovered something while making the chibi mod that editing verteces are easy.
xD....
so... i decided to learn how to make my own models, instead of editing what was already there.
and more progress.
(http://i585.photobucket.com/albums/ss295/Wildsai/cloudday-1.jpg)
The shoulders were hard to make.. and they aren't quite right, me thinks.
And I plan to make as many topics as i have time and ideas for.
xD.
-
He's looking a little better now. The arms seem a bit short, but that might be because his legs aren't connected to his body and it's hard to judge.

There's no "o" :wink:

yea he is right but you can throw almost anything into ff7 (quote from borde) since the char.lgp is located inside your hard drive not the cd
-
Indeed.
:wink:
well i have made some progress.
I made the arms bigger again..
and made the shoulders
more.. AWESOMER..
they are lame so yeah.. i have to boost my ego some how..
right?
>.>
<.<
well any ways here is the screen shot:
(http://i585.photobucket.com/albums/ss295/Wildsai/pop.jpg)
i am having a lot of difficulty
making cloud's butt
:(
i spent like an hour staring at his dissidia's perfect AS*
and couldn't make one.. quite like it
xD
*coughs*
also... i can't seem to make hands....
like at all...
xD
-
Lol, good luck on your model. All of your little updates are amusing :-D
-
Well i hope that is a good thing,
laughter is good.
Right?
xD.
I think i am going to be making Zack instead of cloud.
Cause cloud is done to death.
xD.

You're right; everyone wants to make mods for the characters that have the most mods already. :|
-
I kind of scrapped the old model.
And started a new one.
(http://i585.photobucket.com/albums/ss295/Wildsai/nakedguy-1.jpg)
isn't he smexy?
xD.
Alright here is how its going down!
er....
up?
side ways?
Who cares....
well anyways...
I am not going to do cloud.
I want some one who is overly ignored, but just as important.
I don't really know who to do.
I was thinking about doing Palmer...
but this body arch type is a little...
Too buff.
:wink:
So who do you think i should do?
xD.
-
random npcs, like in the train, look at the chibi you modded for cloud, which about is the ideal proportions and shape we want for chibis (i think... havnt seen a screen of it in a bit. So work on modeling parts like hands, n feet n torsos n stuff, so that you could put them together to make a number of chibis. (just needing texturing). so work on parts!
-
Oh my! That poor person will surely catch a cold! 8-)
I suppose you could do a Palmer battle model. Rufus would be another interesting choice.
-
Speaking of Rufus, does anyone know where I could find a texturist? I'm terrible with organic textures...
I'm going to be remaking my Rufus model for free use (using no part of Square's models this time)
But yeah, Rufus could use a new chibi.
-
You could talk to millenia but he seems pretty busy these days.

Well, i'm learning texturing, Millenia's already given me a few "tutorals", and i kinda know what i'm doing. i suppose i could help you a little, unless you want a pro, them i'm no good.
