Author Topic: [WIP] HD battle scene pack (Read 28842 times)

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

EDIT:

Woo! Looks awesome.

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

BloodShot · « **Reply #7 on:** 2013-08-02 05:32:56 »

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

XVermillion · « **Reply #8 on:** 2013-08-02 05:38:25 »

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

Rundas · « **Reply #9 on:** 2013-08-02 05:50:01 »

Unfortunately no, but you may do it yourself.

Revising the bloody shinra HQ texture

Bloodshot is scaring the children.

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 · « **Reply #13 on:** 2013-08-02 13:19:53 »

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 · « **Reply #14 on:** 2013-08-02 15:13:06 »

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

BloodShot · « **Reply #15 on:** 2013-08-02 19:59:53 »

This better?

LeonhartGR · « **Reply #16 on:** 2013-08-03 00:15:16 »

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

Template · « **Reply #17 on:** 2013-08-03 00:26:10 »

I don't know if "better" is exactly the way to put it

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 · « **Reply #18 on:** 2013-08-03 11:58:10 »

Seriously... I prefer the first version

It would be nice to watch mako energy flying around as well.

Timu Sumisu · « **Reply #19 on:** 2013-08-03 16:26:49 »

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

BloodShot · « **Reply #20 on:** 2013-08-04 06:52:14 »

Did some more work on the Forest Scene used in Mideel/Around temple of the ancients

DLPB_ · « **Reply #21 on:** 2013-08-04 15:27:40 »

Impressive!

Kaldarasha · « **Reply #22 on:** 2013-08-04 15:53:42 »

Indeed!
I wish we had more variations of one battle scene, so we could use the random feature of 7thHeaven. At last on the world map it would be nice.

Rundas · « **Reply #23 on:** 2013-08-04 17:46:28 »

You could use MC+FL, ALyza's, and these, but they're all pretty different styles so it would be weird.

Iros · « **Reply #24 on:** 2013-08-04 20:35:57 »

I think it would really work well if the levels were very different. If they are basically the same with slightly different textures, I think you are right, it will just look odd. If they are redone to look like different locations, it will add variety (which is the point!).
