I hope you enjoy it.

Nice start :wink:
PS I think in this thread we can post all other release's :-P
-
That was the idea.
:D
-
Hmmm... I think I prefer the 2D ones over the 3D. :-)
Nice to see some work being done on 8 though!
-
Nice work you’ve done there, I’ve never tried to change anything in ff8 but I wanted to change the in game Squall with a Dissidia one for some time now. So if you know of a way to input and output 3d models to ff8 perhaps I could give it a try.
-
hmm..it crashed?
-
awesome work! gratz for getting it working. this may hopefully give ff8 modding a kick in the butt to get started :D
-
Nice to see that you man aged to get some FF8 mods working; I look forwards to seeing what will get done next. :wink:

seifer re-done.. first post edit..
FF8AC is like LGP tools... just for FF8 and not FF7..
hahahahaha.
Enjoy.
*edit*
Next i will attempt to replace the world map with its PSX counter part..
the PC one just looks appalling...
-
Beautiful Rinoa! Might actually get my Playing FF8 again. :mrgreen:
-
Thanks.
But, the majority of the credit goes to Alkor..
:D
He made most of the avatars.

very very nice replacement, not to sure about some parts but over all beautiful work .
-

>.<

*Edit*

Well I have been making 1 or 2 of these for Rinoa and I must say I am enjoying this mod. I am sure some of you feel the angelo I made froma real dog is too realistic, but if you look at it once it has been downsized and placed into the game...i think it goes ok?
-
I would also like to point out..
all the dogs in the pet magazines are pics of real doggies
xD...
so it fits in with the pet aspect
:P
-
and now I made a griever. Designed to be as near to the original as possible and yet still be better

Next I am going to try and replace the Kiros and Ward Avatars.. using images taken from this Picture... (the only one we could find with CG Kiros and Ward)
(http://i585.photobucket.com/albums/ss295/Wildsai/final-fantasy-8-13a.jpg)
This is being done by Seifer Almasy..
Hope you like it!
:D
*Edit*
Here is an image of his Kiros..
(http://i585.photobucket.com/albums/ss295/Wildsai/kiros6.png)
what do you think?
:|... This image is hard to work with...
-.-
-
from what it started with I think I did a good job. Pity ward comes out dark...
-
When I first saw this I was concerned (3d-like pics in a "2D" game?)
But after playing with it, it makes totally sense. Thanks for your work, looks great!
Can I ask you how did you mod FF8 TEX files?
-
I used a program called Omega..
it converts all the Tex. files into BMP..
then i did all my work in photoshop and paint.
then i use omega again to convert the BMP. images into a .tex file..
:D...
*(WOOT... 777 views.. that is a lucky number.. :P)*

Can you tell me what you plan to modify?
I also wanted to mod some files, but I don't want to work for nothing

I have pulled out all the stops above to turn this>

Into this...

Blurs, sharpeners, colour correction, tone changes, contrast changes, noise reducers.... You name it I have tried it. My cousin has a saying "you cannot polish a turd"
I agree.
That is the very best I can do..... the above picture is the only source I can find for CGI kiros and ward. (note I have made small mistake with kiros hair whiuch I will correct later)
-
Pity... There isn't another CG image of them.
-.-....
Aw well... I guess Ward Will have to wait for now.
:(
Still, Thanks so very much!
You have contributed so much to this mod.
Any Feedback, people?
:-D
-
You definitely did a good job.
What troubles me is that i do believe the original drawings are far better than circumstantial rendered CG in general.
Anyway, i suppose it was an effective start and good exercise for modding.
Please read my PM too.
-
hey rinoa, wutz up? 'member me? :-D anywayz, good job on the avatar mod, looks great and i am going to input this onto my ff8 game thanx!
-
Thanks so much.
I know.. this was mostly to to learn photo shop for me.
xD...
I like CG better personally.... but the 2D art is really good too.
hahah
-
Is it possible to create an alpha channel to this pictures ?
my idea where to replace the white background with 100% transparency and add a black border like this...

Can you update your mod for FFVIII Steam version please?
Thank you very much.

That'd be a neat trick, seeing as OP has been banned for years. I'ma go ahead and close this thread. ~Covarri
