Is it just me, or does Midgar seem like a bad idea for a city? Like why on earth would you make a city in the air that's in 8 "slices" and all 8 of them are held up by 1 pillar each?  That's like ASKING for something bad to happen.

Well, that was corrected in the AC version I beleive, it sits on 1 pillar support but also has several other pillars with scafolding all the way to the top providing extra support.

Thought AC happened mainly in some other town just outside Midgar?

It is, but... There was nothing stopping them from doing a few ajustments here, and there.

Fantastic job on Midgar so far. Maybe team of with SpooX and get some of his models? It might save you some time.

Actually Jessie mentions other smaller pillars in addition to the main one on the train after the bombing mission. Unless this was something added in the TA release.

I meant 1 pillar each, as in the pillars like the one that's blown up (which causes the loss of sector 7? or 8? cant remember).  Seems kinda stupid to have only that pillar supporting the plates....

Well theres actually several of those pillars under one plate, however only one pillar has the pillar release module( the time bomb )

I'm working on the actual Head Quaters now, it's a tricky thing to build so i've left this piece as a WIP.

Considering the size of the project and well.. The size of Midgar in general this is a pretty big update.



Waiting to incorperate stuff from Spoox, but please enjoy the progress of this while I wait for Spoox.

I just have to say, I've been reading this topic and impressed at how fast you're re-modelling the city.

I'm also very impressed with the time your take to model/texture.
Not to diss anyone but around these forums the projects take their time to see daylight (just look at Bombing Mission, it's been a while and a demo wasn't even released yet (yes i know everyone works on their spare time but still)) but you bring something new almost in a daily basis. With 10 guys like you we would have FF remodeled in one month  :-o

I can't imagine that's a two mans job. You guys would replace thousands of artists.

@Nightmarish - Square had a hundred or more artists, working full time. We are diehard fans who get no paychecks for this. Most of our staff works or go to school. I believe we made it clear early on updates would not be regular, and releases scarce.

get used to it :P

Perhaps i'll do a new render with my new midgar just for you, that was done a while ago when my skill wasn't as good as now.

Added the numbers on the back, put the shinra logo on the central hq.

Spot whats missing?

If you can see what's missing it is being redone.

I've just added the inner walls for the mako spurting up, and the weird circle lights, redoing all the pipes.
Redoing all the outter plate walls.



Heres the updated main pipe, inner sector walls(mako spurts).
