edited.

In my time here at Qhimm's, I have noticed one major problem that is not being addressed(?). That is, we have a number of NPC models that have not been done.

Since the PRP disbanded, no one has really taken up the challenge to finish what they started. We have had a few decent contributors since then, like Dahfa, but 'few' is the operative word here.

I don't mean to sound rude, but I am personally getting fed up of seeing Sephiroth, Cloud, Barrett and Tifa models. I understand that they are popular, and that people mod for their own pleasure as well as everyone else's and I am grateful for that. I also understand that what a person chooses to mod is their business.

But, that doesn't change the fact that we have a serious shortage of models where it really matters. So I ask the modellers around here to at least make an effort to help out finishing the NPC models. If everyone did a small part, it wouldn't take long before we had a full, finished project.

I don't know how much work is being done outside this forum, so if this is already being tackled, then cool. I just wanted to bring to this to people's attention. Also, hopefully Pitbrat or Grimmy can be kind enough to list those NPC which are currently in need of work.

I'm seeing plenty of Cloud and Barret models but beside Grimmy's Tifa model, I haven't seen any others but the ripped Kula one. Care to point me to all these versions I don't know? ( and I don't see them in Bootleg either. )

It isn't that there are so many being made, it is that they are the ONLY ones being made. No one comes along with a much needed NPC that isn't done. It's the same models every time, that we have numerous iterations of.

Especially Barrett, if you look at the UMI

This isn't aimed at people who can't model

Nor can I.

it would benefit your purpose greatly if you would make a list of the models needed. seeing a list actually encourages people to pick one instead of then doing resaearch of what they could pick.

I havent seen Grimmy's Tifa and Yuffie model in action because bootleg39bugs but I sure won't mind an apz cloud level version of each playable character.

im getting better at modeling bit by bit. my textures would be compilations of fabric textures, metal textures and skin textures. i cant make any myself

I was not being sarcastic. I genuinely thought you cannot model at all.

i did a sword for cloud and cait sith's "weapons"

Nightmarish · « **Reply #9 on:** 2012-08-23 21:02:02 »

I've seen some development on Vincent from Timu.
Also on Cid by Felix.

Dunno where they're at or if they plan to finish it.

I am trying to explain to you that I made a mistake earlier. I did not know you modelled. It is cool, I know now.

omega res novae · « **Reply #13 on:** 2012-08-23 21:13:54 »

ohhhhhh gotcha. give me a week to get the couple things im doing done and ill make something and see if its good enough.

SpooX · « **Reply #14 on:** 2012-08-23 21:20:59 »

Do you mind if I keep on going with the backgrounds...?

Allso as part of that I might need some ordinary walking/standing/sitting people to inhabit Midgar, unless nobody minds having only the basic crew running around there....

But I think that would be weird, as the team Avalanche is supposed to be somewhat hidden, instead of everyone pretending as a look alike.....that would be a really psychotic Midgar, I think

I've been working on the Vincent model for some time. Blender is being a bit difficult and I'm trying to experiment a bit with 3ds max and maya so bare with me. Hopefully in a months time I will be done with fully modelling it and then I'll be moving on to texturing, in which I would appreciate any help given.

I thought squallff8 had finished all of the remaining ones?

magochocobo · « **Reply #17 on:** 2012-08-24 03:01:34 »

I am really bad making 3d models but I can help making textures for the main characters or a similar work

DLPB_ · « **Reply #18 on:** 2012-08-24 10:06:47 »

I am pretty sure he didn't Obesebear, because I'm sure I asked Pitbrat recently about if they were all done. What we need most is a list of NPC that are either not done, or need reworking somewhat.

weeemus is back, as seen on his recent thread.

It says that he will cover all the main characters ^^
I actually prefer his cloud mod over the others because it actually blends in with the fmv.

This thread is about MISSING NPC MODELS. The first message is my annoyance that they are not being done in favour of the main models.

The whole point of this thread is to ask modellers to do models that have not been done and vent my frustration at the exact thing you have just linked to.

whitERaven · « **Reply #21 on:** 2012-08-24 22:03:07 »

Hi! I'd like to try this.. so is a list of the currently missing NPC models coming? I can do simple edits with the models and custom textures so I'd like to see what I can contribute..

DLPB_ · « **Reply #22 on:** 2012-08-24 22:03:57 »

I am sure Pitbrat will get round to it
