I'm still a fan of the old security guard style; well, let's see that other people think...  :wink:

However, I think that your SOLDIER-style model might be a good basis for a battle model for the grunts.n  :-P

Hm, Y'know what? :P

I might post a image of all of the shinra staff redone. (the head staff, rufus, the old pressy, palmer, hediggar, scarlet, hojo, reeve then the turks, reno, elena, rude, tseng, then zack, the blue guard and the redone red guard in the 2 potential designs. :P)

How about that? :P

Okay, i decided to show you the shinra staff in 2 images, and right now i'm tired and want to go to bed. :P

(there's 15 models for me to show in the shinra staff, and thats 7.5 divided by 2, so i made the first set have 8 and the second is going to have 7.)

but don't worry, i included someone from each 'set' within Shinra. =3

but i was not going to show them from all 4 angles XD

that would have taken me forever to do and it would take up a lot of space! XD



and now i sleep. (its 10pm where i am and i have to get up at 4am tomorrow.)

This seems to be coming along nicely, even if Reno does look like he's drunk half a bottle of vodka  :-P

BTW, can anything be done about the huge open mouths that plague FF7 field models? It's quite annoying to watch someone like Sephiroth go around looking like he's had a stroke  :roll:

Sure it's off topic, but you brought it up.  What model PSP do you have?

its a 1000, or the 'phat' one.

However, i can't get the friggin thing to have the new firmware on it. >< (when i first got it, my friend was playing on it, then he decided to 'help' me out and update the official firmware from one that could easily be downgraded into the 5.51 firmware, and i can't find anything to downgrade it.)

relating to the SD models,  i didn't really work on more lately as i had work and getting my psp working. :P

Well let's get this PSP up and running then.  If I was you, I would go ahead and create a Pandora battery.  Since you're on the FAT PSP, it shouldn't be too difficult for you http://www.noobz.eu/joomla/news/pandoras-battery.html  There is a way to continue using the pandora's battery to play games.  You have to also install the program that allows you to switch from 1.50 to 3.71 and a few other CFW's in between.  Unfortunately I forget the name of it

Hmm, hey, what about a redesign for Dio? i don;'t really like his...

...peado-ness. :P

(who has a children's theme park and run around and randomly hassle people who visit, IN HIS UNDERWEAR?)

I was thinking something like what odin is wearing, or failing that, just a t-shirt and jeans or something. (darker jeans, either sandles or no shoes with a black sleeveless shirt to show his 'muscles')

as for the psp, i'm just going to give up for now, and i don;t really wanna 'chance' myself by trying to make a pandora battery and would probably just buy one with one of those 'magic' memory cards or whatever they're called..

Pfft, that's part of his "character"  :-D

You can buy them for not entirely unreasonable prices. I got mine from here (judging from your spelling and the times at which you're online I'm assuming that you're also British)

his eye seemed to corrupt or something.

buuut :P

whenever i put them ingame, i put everything bar the head, the head's rsd and the textures ingame, therefore keeping the original head and texture quality for the final version. (I use clean, unedited char.lgps when i test them)

ergo, for the final ones, there'll be no texture problems as i don't even mess with the heads and make everything else 'fit' around the head. =3

okay, this is a list of everyone i actually need to do before i can release it after testing it.

(also included is a list of everyone i DID do. :P)

done:
(good)
cloud (aaaa) (afie) (ekbf) (eihd) (bhff) (htje) (bhff) (enab) (buge) (dlfb)
Tifa (aagb) (aggb) (buac) (axja) (eqib) (bidb)
Vincent (aehd) (bijd, i think, the turk outfit)
Aeris (auff) (diff) (cqga) (azbb) (cahc)
cid (abda) (aihb) (gzad)
Yuffie (abjb) (feea) (ahdf)
Zack (ibad) (ejdc) (ibgd)
wedge (bxbe)
Jesse (axdc)
Biggs (can't remember offhand)

(bad)
heidigger (algd)
Hojo (anbd) (ekjb)
Palmer (eegc)
president shinra (awhf)
grunt (bwab) (dxbd) (eseb)
Reno (aodd) (mmmo)
rude (anic)
tseng (dbec)
reeve (bpjd)
elena (evfe)
Sephiroth (bkhd)
shinra employees (awcb) (dzgf) (cdja) (fbba)


still to do:
(good)
Barret (acgd) (fqcb) (aiba) (ayfb)
red 13 (adda) (fjcf)
Cait Sith (aebc) (fbge)

optional
Zangan (bnaf)


(bad)
Sephiroth (eoea) (bbab) (bgjc)

okay, the only people actually left for me to do is barret and red 13.

...i guess when i said i was putting them off, i MEANT it XD

(and i did do Scarlet, i was checking the files and realized i missed her, so i did her! yay!)

Although i didn't even touch the heads and used a completely fresh char.lgp to insert the  improved models to <didn't insert the 'new' heads or textures) Barret, Vincent, Cid and Yuffie don't have their textures loading for some reason.

i even tried extracting the fresh char.lgp and open it in kimera, and in that, no faces loaded. (even though before I had vincent, cid and yuffie with favcial textures when i was upping their models)

but here's a few screenshots i made when i was testing the mod. <terrible saves i had, i didn't even have one before the meeting that shows 90% of the shinra staff XD>

They look really good in-game. Hopefully you will be able to fix the white textures.

Unfortunatelly, I don't have any knowledge of modeling so I can't help  :|

I was worried that they might look a little skinny, but these actually look brilliant and they fit into the game really well. Kudos to you.  :-P

I am having the same problem..
The face textures in about 9 of my models
just seemed to disappear..
oddly enough.

I personally CAN'T... STAND.... those open mouth textures.

And *I* am slightly tweaking the designs of the chibi models to better 'suit' my interests.

(example, see Cid? his jacket goes down to his waist and not to the top of his leg)

As for the open mouth txtures, i'm going to change them to either a slight smile or maybe a sort of smug grin.

and i feel i have to quote someone. :P


'I was worried that they might look a little skinny, but these actually look brilliant and they fit into the game really well. Kudos to you.'

I tested them ingame with 'big' limbs and they just looked like gorilla people that escaped from the zoo, however, with 'skinny' limbs, they actually fit well into the game, see? i knew what i was doing? :P

as for a release, i could upload a 'sample' with just the main people done while i try to sort out the textures and fix the open mouth people.

(and also while i try to get Reno to use matra magic, i got everything else to work, but the animation done is still electro mag rod.)
