As the title states, this is another fairly large project like the WMRP. With a solid direction for the field files, it only makes sense that the battle fields should follow suit as well. For now, this thread can be a discussion of what works, what doesn't, what looks good, yadadada. I think an open discussion will help get some legs on this portion of TAs full upgrade of FF7.
Sadly, at the moment i am without a PC, so i can only play devils advocate at this point. SL1982 said Timu has got something in the works, so i'd love to hear what has been discovered thus far. We have seen that simply re-texturing the originals produces some so-so results, and IMHO i think full remodels are the way to go. I have modeling experience, and since the battle models are basically empty squares, i would not have any trouble mass creating a bunch of small environment. Textures are also a non-issue, though i guess most of you already know that.
Just want to get the ball rolling, we would also stick to the same model as the field files, start at the train scene and work from there. It doesn't seem like to much of a stretch to maintain an even pacing between the 2 projects, and the battle models seem much easier than recreating the field scenes.
Enough of my blabbering, feel free to discuss what ever relevant information you may have, or any theories as to what may or may not work. Screens or paint drawings are welcome if they help you get the point across.
STAY ON TOPIC OR DIE!
