[FF7PC] Chibi Reconstruction Project (2009-08-13)

[drfeelgud88]

wow! imagine if u put time and effort into this... u'd be amazing! well done! 

[Kudistos Megistos]

Looks nice, but is she wearing shorts in your version?

[Murak Modder]

@hermoor
I kept the proportions exactly the same as in the original model, if i edit the proportions too much, it'll look weird animation wise, and i ran through some animations in kimnera 0.9, and the skirt had to be that big for no obvious animation glitches to show up.
but i can 'shrink' the feet slightly.

(her legs kept on detaching from the skirt)

@drfeelgud
these aren't really difficult currently as they are just the battle models <keeping the faces and only the faces the same>
to do some other people, it'll take longer. <such as the president or some 'generics' i'd have to put some effort into it as i can't just load the model parts and recolour them.>

@Kudistos
and she isn;t wearing shorts, i put the skirt on her legs and decided to leave a whisper of a cut in the front for the pervs. XD


and now... a question to people...

ARE HER BOOBS BIG ENOUGH NOW!? XD

[Kudistos Megistos]

ARE HER BOOBS BIG ENOUGH NOW!? XD

Ah, that's the most important question 

They're fine 

[Timu Sumisu]

for tifa, you need to exagerate her shoulders more (the deltoid) as her arms are coming accross as rather flat right now.


btw you should update yer thread title... its gone beyond cloud

[drfeelgud88]

he's right, rename it to "Better chibi style characters" or something

[Murak Modder]

renamed.

i'll make the arms bigger <and i shrunk the feet>

and yay that her breasts are satisfactory!

I don;t have anything to really show as i don't wanna make screenshots, but i did 19 models.

[Terid__K]

I don;t have anything to really show as i don't wanna make screenshots, but i did 19 models.

Not even some in-game pics? That would be nice.

[Murak Modder]

I don't ave FF7 installed on this computer and i won;t be at my home comp until tomorrow, but i could make some ingame shots if you really want me to.

[drfeelgud88]

yeah, some screenshots of them would be nice and yes, her breasts are now as big as they are suppose to be lol   

[Lionfist]

Personally I think they are too big, looks like she has had a operation.   And the skirt, if you look to the right and compare to the old one, you see that the skirt is too long. Also doesn't she have black hair? You could smooth the hair as well, from behind it looks very stiff. I'm not a pervert btw, just trying to help.          

Btw you should fix the arms on Aerith as well 

her is only black in FFACC.
She has brown hair in FF7

[Murak Modder]

The skirt was lengthened on the top of the legs for animation reasons. (they kept on detaching from the skirt)

and i'm keeping the heads exactly the same, that goes for hair, its meant to look stiff.

and aeris was tweaked. <do not accept the lisp name.>

edit: fine, to tide you over until i make some ingame screenshots tomorrow, here's another wip.

[drfeelgud88]

nice man, nice! how many do u plan to do?

EDIT: Nvm, i saw ur post on the 1st page... sorry

[Timu Sumisu]

again with the shoulder otherwise there isnt enough definition, n it looks unrealistic (given the style)

[Matt2Tees]

Can you share some of the files, I would like to have a mess around, test animations and such...

[Makubex (Mendelevium)]

This is really good work
Thanks for sharing with us
 

[Prince Lex]

Your chibi models are awesome, it's a really good idea. It'll be a popular choice for those that like the nostalgic FF7 feel.

[Makubex (Mendelevium)]

like me? 
I will definitely use this mod..
it even inspired one of my own

[Murak Modder]

ingame screenshot.


I know it isn;'t a great pic, I spent 39 minutes trying to find Yuffie then gave up and went to the fort.
the darkened effect can be fixed literally in a few seconds, all i have to do is resave them using kimera 0.84.

And i know about the shoulder XD
I'm going to make it bigger, when i was doing it, i was 'speed modding' and had it go down to the more 'basic' version of completion rather than doing it all at once.

@MXster:
I'm going to release a 'beta' either today or tomorrow and that will have the main main people in it. (9 playable <+ alt designs>, sephy and main shinra members)
You can wait until then to mess around with them, right?

@prince Lex
Yeah, i decided instead of merely having something like the NPC RP, people should have a little choice.

@Makubex:
Yes, yes it is good work.

[Murak Modder]

I am not going to texture them XD

if you want to, you are free to, i however am not tempted by your texture hocus pocus
and i sent you cid btw.

[Murak Modder]

SEE!? I told you! XD
well, i didn;t actually say this would happen, but doing that is troublesome.

what about the cid model did you like?

(pouts)

fine, here's your smelly screenshots of some guys.




(notice, zack's chest is actually different to cloud's and i actually worked somewhat on it.)

the people i have left to do before i can make a beta release..

good guys:
barrett <i was putting him off as i don't like how his model looks when i make it a field as his arms can't properly connect to the 'sleeves'.>
Red 13 <a blocky dog is always so much fun>
2 of cloud's models.
1 of Tifa's.

bad guys:
Scarlet <no real reason, just didn't do her yet.>
Hedugar <or however you spell his name>
Hojo <no real reason either.>
red security guard

'misc'
Cloud's mother
Tifa's father
Dio
Gold saucer staff
Dyne

so, not many people left.

[Kuroda Masahiro]

oh my! a zack and cid!

[Murak Modder]

Out of interest, does anyone mind if i 'redesign' the red security guard?

I'm wanting to change the outfit of them to be more similar to the mighty grunt, but i wanan hear what you think before i do anything as i could keep to the original design or the idea I had.

[Kudistos Megistos]

Personally, I like the old design; I think that the grunts look weird in battle and would probably look worse on the field.

Of course, it's your choice in the end 

[Murak Modder]

this is the look I'll be using if i go with the idea i had with the red security guard, good or bad?
