We are starting to get really detailed <3

Looks astounding!

You're gonna love the newest batch of reference shots I have from Dirge of Cerberus' FMVs.

After that you could try working on the Train Graveyard or the Junon fortress outside

I think Junon is already being worked on by someone. If not perhaps I will.

I've been adding random stuff to fill the plates in, it's actually a very hard task but I managed to some stuff down.

The new stats have certainly jumped.

574.756 polys
1,097,123 tris
1.171.142 edges
644.779 verts

Heres the render.

Came across this pic, dunno if it's close to the original tho.

This one also looks interesting:

Jason and Dales Midgar are both great however mine is faithful to the original, Noen Garuths has a lot of guess work as stated by himself, and Killerx20's is almost 100% but also has a lot of guess work.

Nice dude you got an entire plate done. Keep up the amazing work.

Cant wait to see what it looks like with textures.

In most fan renders the WIP plates on the outside all use the same model.
The broken plate remains didnt look realistically in the SE original and the houses on the plate are
not very different beside the station area.

Do you know if the PS3 demo is a correct recreation beside Aerith missing face and Cloud?

The PS3 TD, and AC are very different from the original (FF7-PSX) version(just have a look at the train sequence of the intro), the detailing will be based upon the original.
Small details can be taken from the other models. (but as less as possible)

Sapphire · « **Reply #138 on:** 2011-08-16 02:53:40 »

I beleive Spoox is populating the plate for Sector 8 and 1 and I'm doing the rest with just random stuff.

Adding a bit more detail to the mako reactors, I need to make a few ajustments on the front part and it should look good but as for now it looks a tad bad.

Sapphire · « **Reply #140 on:** 2011-08-17 08:51:43 »

Update on the reactors.

Vgr · « **Reply #141 on:** 2011-08-17 11:01:07 »

Wow... Just... Wow...

Sapphire · « **Reply #142 on:** 2011-08-18 03:16:48 »

Finished the reactor(almost) Just a few tweaks here and there.

burkey0307 · « **Reply #143 on:** 2011-08-18 06:59:17 »

Nice work.

Sapphire · « **Reply #144 on:** 2011-08-18 14:46:17 »

Done a bit more to the reactor.

Once again I miscalculated the rivets/bolts on the back of the reactor and must make them smaller. Other then that, everything look's pretty neat.
The mako energy on the inner part of the HQ is a WIP texture, i'll make it an animated image sequence soon and much better quality/realistic.

Here goes.

Hopefully

resized to 4200x3360 via Genuine Fractals help(s/ed).

It's amazing seeing the progress on this day by day, and I'm glad I've been of help.

I only wish I could do more than offer reference material.

Tarts · « **Reply #146 on:** 2011-08-18 20:58:15 »

Just curious, does anyone know where the highway where Cloud and the gang espaces through after finishing with the Shinra HQ is in the model? Is is there in the first place? If so, where it is, or should be in the model?

pdub2520 · « **Reply #147 on:** 2011-08-18 21:00:31 »

That is completely amazing. I have only just recently come back to playing FF7 after playing a boat load of shooters on my Xbox, and I can honestly say that I'm glad my Xbox crashed. I love coming back here from time to time just to see how far we've leaped forward. Thanks to everyone who has put a lot of their time, effort and ideas into figuring out how the engine for FF7 works. They have been able to take it many steps forward from where it was when it was first released. Honestly if an FF7 remake ever came out in the future, I would probably still come back to this rather than play the remake over. Because this stuff is just amazing.

Vgr · « **Reply #148 on:** 2011-08-18 22:52:09 »

It isn't there in the first place. Check any vid and you won't ever see it. Except bike.avi of course.

Sapphire · « **Reply #149 on:** 2011-08-19 14:51:26 »

Redone the flanking towers.
Redone the weird cylinder things on sector 3.
Redone some stuff on the reactor, also they are smooth and not pointy now (thanks to Timu for a telling me about a quickfix).

I know yous probably don't like the update text so... I won't keep you reading any longer.
