Hi guys!After a long time learning about 3d editing/design I have decided to start a project to remake all the field backgrounds in game. Project Edge is a completely remake of the field backgrounds, trying to be as faithful as possible to the original backgrounds but bringing my own personal touch and "easter eggs".

As the time of rendering and load of work on my computer is too much, I started to use a rendering farm service to have the renders in less time. As obvious, they are charging me some money for the service and unfortunately I can´t afford that so I´ve opened an account to top-up the service when needed. If you can contribute to the project any donation will be appreciate. Special thanks to Shampignon and Grimmy for their help importing the backgrounds to the game and to all the members who contribute to the project with their donations. Thanks for your support!

One thing to add: Crank up anti aliasing so you don't have discrepancy like the edges of the holes in the gold saucer also I would add ambient occlusion as much as possible to ground things like the middle podium in the 2nd pic.

So something I can't ever unsee when I play, some of the game's field scenes seem to have originally been intended to be smaller. Like Aerith's house, with it's enormous furniture. Any intentions of correcting the giant chairs and really tall counters? lol

The displacement effect or you modeled the piece to look like that??
About the release, I want to do a bunch of them first but you can take the pictures and import the fields with palmer by yourself if you want it now xD

These are only textures that make the wood so, only the floor has been patterned with zbrush to give it a more user shape, but the texture remains of the texture with good bump setting etc. All my textures are working with the torrent that I have given you. To create the normal map I use "Crazy Bump" which gives me occlusion, bump, displacement and specular map. It is also possible to work the contrast etc. of the complete texture :)
Post by: jmp434 on 2017-09-21 12:54:20
Here is the torrent, with textures for those wanting to learn.

Some feedback, if you like.
I would change the photo hanging to the wall for something less photorealistic and definitely not having humans depicted in it. It does look completely out of place.
The cupboard on the right lacks depth, in my opinion, and please tell me if it is just a trick of my eyes but... isn't it too small?
Other than that, I love the brick walls, the stairs and the wooden floor the most. They are so good, in fact, that the rest doesn't almost feel on par with them, if you know what I mean... :)

I worked with Jmp434, my job was to create the layers of his scenes to integrate them in the game with Palmer. I saw the beautiful pics you posted and I began to do the same with your maps. I actually released two of them, and here are the links to the folders that must be past in the "fields" folder :

I made the layers of zz4 but I have a problem with the rocks : the characters go through ! I think I must resize them, so is it possible for you to give me a pics without the rocks ? If I have to resize the rocks, I will have blanks and I would have to remake the floor in the circled area... It's possible but it will be faster if you can give me the complete floor ;D

Si tu retravailles les rochers de zz4, ce serait bien que tu mettes en ligne après un fichier PNG sans le décor derrière, ce sera plus facile pour moi pour le détourage. Et si jamais tu arrivais à les redimensionner pour qu'ils correspondent à ceux de l'image d'origine, ce serait parfait ! Sinon ça ira, je le ferai moi.
Et puis je l'ai demandé à Jusete, mais si tu pouvais mettre en ligne aussi une image avec juste le fond cette fois, sans les rochers, ce serait top pour que je puisse créer les calques.
Merci à toi, content de revoir actif dans le projet ;-)

Here is the link for the rock in question, I have already done a work on the coordinates of the textures, it will only have to change to enter your layers. Be careful not to triangulate too much, the shapes are seen in the rendering and it does not make good, sometimes by making a copy paste of the rock scaled you get better rendering. Trying to do what it takes to get into your layers, the cameras did not import at home. Here is a rendering of my rock.
As well as the settings made on your maps.

I don't know if the faulked one can be included without redoing the train portion. It doesn't line up with the opening fmv like you said and it has clipping when you walk into the train.

I agree with Shampignon.
That background is simply not good enough yet. It is heavily incomplete and there is minimal improvement over the original. And as you all said, it doesn't match with the intro video. I'd rather take a waifu filtered background over this one.

Post by: Covarr on 2018-03-18 22:06:08
My only real suggestion would be to rethink the direction of some of the wood grain. As a general rule, most furniture tends to have wood grain going whichever direction is the longest, per individual piece. So the sloped part of the stairs (https://i.imgur.com/UKuS4ds.jpg) that holds up the steps would be diagonal, the front of the counter would be horizontal, and the drawers on various units (https://i.imgur.com/GKFBHiZ.jpg) would be horizontal even if the frame around them is vertical, and the fronts and tops of the shelves behind the counter (https://i.imgur.com/F9D9PrI.jpg) would have their grain rotated 90 degrees as well. This is more realistic, and helps more clearly define the shapes of drawers. Especially useful when the vast majority of the wood in the scene is the same type and color.

I looked at the picture and saw the funny details you added and though "Hey, Jusete would be funny to see the original mo... WTF!? You already used them!"
Really, well-made.

My only gripe with it is as mentioned above, outside of that its just minor artistic stuff and 3D issues.
I've put together a quick imgur album here: https://imgur.com/a/p7aj1 (https://imgur.com/a/p7aj1)
I've noted what the issues are in particular scenes, and most of these are easy to fix honestly.
I'd like to ask if you're using bump maps or normal maps, and it seems you aren't using displacement mapping really, except in perhaps 1 scene.
1 final thing, Texture resolution, it looks asthough your texture resolution is inconsistent, some objects have stretched textures across large areas, whilst smaller objects have a lot of detail packed into small areas. You could help alleviate this by using texel density.
Texel Density may be a bit more specific to games, but for achieving a cohesive image, it still works well.
Here's a really good breakdown of Texel Density: http://leonano.com/ALTRO/pdf/Leonardo_Iezzi_Texel_Density.pdf (http://leonano.com/ALTRO/pdf/Leonardo_Iezzi_Texel_Density.pdf)
I hope I haven't offended you, I really think you're doing awesome work.
I can't wait to see this project completed.

I finished the layering of the sbwy's new versions and of elminn_1, I'll publish soon. I also modify some of the olds modelisations to make it better.
Wouldn't it be funny if you put some references about other Final Fantasy in the maps, like pictures on the wall or figures like in elminn_1 ? I imagine the ff4, 5 or 6 characters in a showcase or decoration ! :)
Do you know these pics ?

There is a lot of drawings like this, I think it could inspire you to add more details in your maps.

I'm trying especially for the moment to rework some screens that would not be perfect. I would like to modifiy some backgrounds made by jmp, but I have no news of him.
However, the new versions of the sbwy series and Kalm inn are ready, I'll publish them soon.

is there any chance to implement a way to zoom in game and to turn camera around?Not with pre-rendered backgrounds there isn't. The game would pretty much need redone in a new engine for this to be possible.

I agree with everybody, that's an excellent work. Hopefully somebody can support and create a team!

some progress on the chocobo farm. Playing with fur to make grass more realistic was fun xD. Ill try to add more props and finish by the weekend, then I´ll take holidays for 2 weeks xD.
(https://i.imgur.com/r8HrKQx.jpg)
You really are doing some awesome work here!
The scene has an almost identical feeling to the original area too, which is a difficult thing to replicate.
I have a little critique, if thats ok.
I don't want to deter you in any way at all, only give constructive criticism as I did before, please let me know if its not welcome or if I'm stepping on any toes.
The grass, looks good, I like it a lot, really helps stop the area feeling so 'flat'.
I think making the area inside the chocobo pen a little more 'worn' would make sense, as they're walking around on it all day.
Regarding the roof of the house, the texture is a bit too tiling, it might be worth modelling just a few tiles yourself and placing them around to help create a bit less of a pattern, and also to make it look a bit less 'object with a texture on it'.
The silo in the back is nice, but the texture tiles a lot, and especially on the sides, it can end up looking a bit flat.
Outside of those minor things, this scene looks good, i wanted to ask if the sky is still temporary, I didn't see if it was mentioned above.

I would gladly support you with some money. Send me a pm what you need to get started.Thank you, I really appreciate your support. I'll try with the 5$ trial and see how many renders I can do. It's not too expensive, 0'02$ per hour per core, so hopefully I could do a bunch of them with that money. Thanks again for all the support, I know the renders are not perfect but I'm trying to improve in every new scene and with your comments it's more easy to continue this project. :) :) ;)

Sadly it's not free, but blender has some real good functions one thing is filmic blender (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nYGJI0r2-0) which calculates light more natural, but more important is the denoise tool for rendering which works wonders even with a small amount of render cycles.

I´ve changed the shingles and increase a little bit the bump and displacement effect. The grass from inside the fences is shorter than the one outside to make a grass tread effect. Some sacks with chocobo greens, mud and a puddel inside the fences as weell and some chaff inside the barn.
Hope you like it guys xD.

Exellent work Jusete, I'm looking to create an archive with what I already work in 3D to send them to you, I can not work on it, you know, it takes a long time and unfortunately this time I do not have it ... At least I do not have it any more, the archive will be rather voluminous so it takes a certain time for compression. But I'm preparing you for it. :)That would be awesome!!! I'll be glad to work on what you started. Your work inspired me to start this project so it'll be a pleasure. Waiting fort what you have for me, thanks!!!
Give us this remake, you work better than me on 3D!

Said that, I am also very glad that you are entrusting jusete with your material. You could hardly find a better disciple and maintainer for your production!
Thanks to the both of you and I hope jusete can have some financial support via Paypal!
We are few here perhaps but I hope we can all give some contribution.

First of all, U and Jusete and all the others do a great job!
But I find personally the Jusete Version from the stall and the outer farm nicer . It is smoother, gladder and looks better. Textures and lightning are much better. Sorry. The recreation scene in whole have one problem! The stall and the outer farm must be done from one person! If not, it looks creepy. Everyone has another style. Your style and the style from jusete is too different. The outer farm design from jusete and your stall would be look curios in combination. And by the way, I didn't know, that u had done it before! Maybe all of u should create one thread with ALL of your creations on the first page! This should prevent the double In my opinion, each of us should build a field series alone! I have saved different pages (One is french, i cant french ;D) from all of u and it is horrible to be up to date. Make one Thread!
I don't know, why each of u pick a single scene of the game part? Another tooks another scene from the series. That is not the way to go. It has something like funfair. Different color schemes for the same scenery. U know the saying: "too many cooks spoil the broth". In the same scenery is it absolutely true!
All of u do a great job. But think about it. The style in the houses OR in the villages/cities must be the same or similar.
jmp434, u had created a cool reactor scenery, but never finished. That is your thing! The passion is there, in this scenery, not the farm! ::)

Post by: SoulEvan on 2018-08-09 07:52:39
I meant with the "make one thread", only ONE Thread! To have multiple threads with new recreations isn't helpful. Then u must switch between these threads to be up to date. And new designers maybe will never find all of them. A Forum is not the best option for this. The first post can only edited by the owner or a moderator. Maybe a list of all scenes of the game with the name on the left, under it a small thumbnail of the finished scene with the creator, homepage/forum and the download links. That would be nice. jmp434 has it in just plaintext on his page, but he is the only one who can edit it and by the way, not everyone knows his page. Let a special moderator do the publishing things. Edit the thread, add a small thumbnail, style this a bit and the designer have a little VIP secret area to post the new things quick and dirty.
Another possibility is one thread (closed) with one post and all of the finished items. Then, each new scene get his own thread with the scene name like "FF7 Scene zz2 - Author name". In the sticky thread with all the published things, each scene can be linked to his own thread! More clarity and a better overview. At the moment it is like mess. Without rules, everything will confusing.

I have the idea to create one or more archives grouping all the screens finished and integrated into the game (from the Team Avalanche, jmp and Jusete) and thus to make a topic for that. Since I do most of the layering, it will be easy for me to edit the posts.
But for the moment, I can't because there are several screens that I want to rework before publishing them.

That's the thing, when two different people do the job. If anyone can tell me, what I need to slice the backgrounds. I will make it. A tutorial were also be nice. ;D For the FF Universe 8-)

I know you all want to test the remastered screens, but you have to be a bit patient, because it's a long work to integrate them into the game. In general I modify the images posted by Jusete, mainly the lights and the colors, to get as close as possible to the original screen. After, I need to make the layers of each screen, and then test in-game, then edit when needed, then test again... Sometimes I have to do it again dozens of times to prevent any defects.
I'm also working on some screens modeled by JMP that I find too different from the originals.
Nevertheless, I still have some news to you ;)

Bear in mind that we have a life outside forums and you need to be patient but everyone is wellcome to contribute to the project.

I just finished farm. It was a long long work...
First, I retouched Jusete's image because I thought it was too blue, too cold. The original is warmer, more vivid, the grass is very green. And then I did not like the sky so I changed it. Here is the result :

Could anyone else test and tell me if he has the same problem?
I changed the position of the sky as suggested to me by Kaldarasha. What do you think, you guys ? Give me your opinion, if a majority think it's better, I'll layer it again :

The personal touch is by no means disturbing, I surround you the problem, when using the scenes in game, the background is zoomed in 50% to reach a size of 2048 * 2048. If I zoom to this size, I very much appreciate the triangulation. The problem comes from sketchup. It does not allow UV unfolding. These are its limits.

Really huge work behind all of this and the speed you both have it's unbelievable.
One suggestion from a simple fan: in my humble opinion you both should coordinate and assign each other different "areas".
So those game areas will have a smooth feeling and the whole game will have a better consistency.
Keep rockin'!

To be honest, I preffer mine. I love the detail in yours but is too dark and the walls look weird. It´s about likes and dislikes but I preffer to have a fantasy look instead too much realistic. Anyways, as kuraudo sais, need to focus on one area to have more consistency so I´m going to finish all the materia caves to have all the zz´s fields finished. Will see what is next.

JMP's
Quote
Yours is theoretically more realistic, but its also a lot rougher, the lack of lighting makes the area look much flatter than the other render.
The texture has more detail, but it has little to no contrast because fo the lighting, its just small details everywhere, there aren't areas that sink in or extrude more than others, which would be more natural for this kind of cave, in short, the current texture is too uniform.
It is quite different from the original games too, but personally, I don't think the original games textures are all that great either, but we'll ignore that because the game is 20 years old, and we haven't seen the high resolution renders.
The fact that its all very much the same colour is also an issue here, the only thing having any influence on the tones is the lighting, and it doesn't seem to be doing much in this particular environment.
The water that runs down, you've made it a lot smoother and look more worn away, which I think adds more realism overall.
Jusettes
Quote
The texture resolution is a bit odd looking, especially at the bottom left of the image, where the walls of the cave are at a hard angle, your texture looks flat and stretched, I'm guessing this is because the wall itself is just flat, and not tessellated, you're just relying on bump or normal maps to do the depth for you.
The centerpiece rises up in a way that in itself isn't unnatural, but again its stretched and looks too flat on its edges, such as the top and the sides.
The texture here is still too 'sharp'.
This area has water erosion, suggesting that there was once a fair bit of water in here, and it wore away the cenrepiece over time, smoothing it out before creating a sort of 'rim' at the bottom.
The rim should be very smooth, as shout the areas close to it.
One final point would be that the lighting, the rock has no material, just a texture, its far too shiny for what it would be, it has no real sense of roughness, its just smooth, eventhough the rock itself doesn't look particularly smooth elsewhere.
Both of these are good pieces, with different pro's and cons, and a lot of opinion simply comes down to how well/if someone is trying to emulate the original or not. If not then outside of objective comments such as 'lighting doesn't work that way' or 'rocks can't shape this way unless X happens' everything else is largely subjective, just being down to peoples varying opinions.
This is an odd request but, could you guys perhaps share your scenes as dae files, complete with the lighting and camera setups?
I wouldn't mind a shot at this area myself in all honesty, see what I can put together in Substance Designer.

Here is the finished rendering, I am not satisfied with my texture on the underside of buildings so I would do it again.
But you can already have a very big overview of what gives this scene :)

Here is the finished render
Wow, you work fast!Impressive!
I like this, my main critique would be the texture scaling, considering where the camera is, I can see the grain and threads on the giant flags/murals.
If you compare the scale of one of those threads against the window, then I'd say any single thread is going to be roughly as thick as a persons arm, thats way too thick, you'd only notice such details if you were looking at it close up.
From a distance you shouldn't be able to see any of those details, the murals would look pretty flat and lacking in details (save for any actual damage).
Much the same with the upper wall texture, you can see the paint flakes and the unevenness of the wall from this far away, which suggests that all the flakes and marks must be very large to see from the other side of the street.
If I had to add anything, I'd say perhaps a little bit of variation in the door colours and window colours, perhaps some insides to some of those open windows, and an fire escape staircase on the side of the building that has the arrow, these things weren't in the original game, and nobody questioned it, but logically speaking they'd add some good detailing to the scene.
Thats honestly all I can comment on here, i think everything else looks fine, its a work in progress.
I also didn't notice in the original game, but the gratings are actually huge, you'd easily lose a foot down there if it were real life.
I love seeing the work come together here, its exciting!
Please let me know if my input isn't welcome, I don't want to discourage anyone from continuing on.

I understand what you mean, however for windows, inside I can not do what I want, it is a walkmesh, more lights are in the layers and does not allow to add elements, unfortunately. The only place where I could add would be between the buildings and it would serve no purpose because in the background, they will be invisible, and in front, the hollow part of the walkmesh, add details will be difficult. For the grain, I agree on the flags they are a little too thick, however the wall we can see the details of the foreground later I do not perceive :) And slatted have been thought for them big feet of the original 3D models haha

In Comparison with the old scenes I noticed some missing details. The lightning effects in the original screens are much more intensive as in the new ones.
For Example:
Scene frmin, fcyo
The light in the original scene is brighter. The version from jmp434 has nearly no lightning effects. Your version has, but is too little. It is interesting, because i haven't noticed it, if I don't have created the page. This is not criticism and u all do a great work.
Scene elmin2_2
The recolored version from Shampignon has a curios wall color. A little bit green. The original hasn't.
Scene games_1
The light at the top is completely missing :o ;D I mean the disco lights.
PS: Your zz6 image link is broken on the first page.

For the light effects, it's a special layer, it's not necessary To have them in the modelised image. In general, I share the final screen with lights effects when it's needed.

I completed the scenes entries in my database. All 729 Scenes have an entry.
Changes:
The standard view will show u the finished scenes! If u type a field scene name into the search box, it will give u the following information:
Exists the scene ?
Is anybody working on the scene ?
If not, u get the info too!
For example: type "junonr1" or "junpb_1" or "zz6" and search.
If u type in a wrong field name, u get an overview of all scenes. I haven't added all preview images yet. Too many :D But i do my best. 8-)

Amazing work as always, hoping you guys are able to get most or even the whole game redone, it would be amazing.
Let me think.
We have actual two modders and one slice and colors man. The rest is sleeping for months or years.
Me is just the overview page creator. I am not a modder!
3 people should recreate ~700 scenes ? In 30 Years maybe. The project need more volunteers! If u know people, who can create these scenes, tell them the project exists! Hoping alone is not enough! Do your best by yourself to finish the dream! 8)

I have sliced the whole thing. Download on the overview page.
But the entry of the cave is not as dark as on your preview image. If u send me an updated prev image, i replace the image. The textures on the top are looking blurred.

u have forgotten the right door in the frmin scene. Just for the information. It's always a good idea before u begin a remodel to see the different layers with the palmer program. Then, u don't forget something. The little dirty details are mostly there. 8)
For the people who slicing your scenes it is easier to have the door alone without the rest. The game handle it the same. The doors are single layers.
I noticed the problem in the frcyo scene. I have done it, but it was horrible. My creation is not perfect!
The door has a little edge, that the player can hide himself.
See it here:
https://www.german-syslinux-blog.de/download/Final-Fantasy-VII-HD-Field-Scenes/Field-Problems/frcyo1_DOOR.png
The original layers have cut of the edge. I tried it too, but it doesn't fit with the rest. Don't know why. So I don't give a ... of it and don't wasted my time to the little detail. I know that Shampignon wanted to slice it. I did it myself to get experience. And I think, he will do it better.
It is also difficult to resize the scene to exact the same dimensions. The resizing isn't the problem, but it must fit with the old layers. Your frcyo scene has not an integer % value.
Example:
Your mainfiles have the dimensions: 7000x3937px
It's more than 8 times bigger as the original files.
The original files have the dimension: 576x448px.
I used the multiplicand 8 to get 4608x3584px
It is more than 4K resolution. I think, it's big enough. U can make it so big u want, but keep the integer value. U used a multiplicand of ~12,15
Better were a multiplicand of exactly 12 => 6912x5376px
You do a great job! That are just things i noticed by editing your scenes. Don't know what Shampignon think about it. He had sliced a lot. But the most public scenes, who are available to download have not these mechanics like the barn. I am very excited about the coming release from Shampignon. I hope he had also headache with the scene :D Don't take me serious!

We are starting to be a real team, it's good ! Thanks to the new workers !
I've been working on other personnal projects this week so I didn't work much on slicing. I've tested the zz's maps and they are good, good job to Sl1982. I've just seen a little default on zz1, the light effect is cut by a layer, so we have a stairway effect. I decreased the intensity of the light so that it does not reach the edge of this layer. I also changed the order of two layers for a softer effect. I think it's better now :
zz1 : https://drive.google.com/open?id=1QlVwopA9HIPnuKQ_LX0nhduWMQjQLEeT (https://drive.google.com/open?id=1QlVwopA9HIPnuKQ_LX0nhduWMQjQLEeT)
I also worked on zz6 and I was about to be crazy ! I managed to keep the light of the materia as Jusete done, but I had to keep the original layers of the water effect. You can test it :
zz6 : https://drive.google.com/open?id=1keJX-GAoZu827V9w07AMBGKMHET6D0h3 (https://drive.google.com/open?id=1keJX-GAoZu827V9w07AMBGKMHET6D0h3)
If someone think he can do better, I'll say good luck !
I"ll work on the farm's screens soon, but as I already did this with the jmp's version, I know it will be a long work...

The zz1 packet is a little bit to big. Nearly 8K Resolution :D ? What the hell ;D. I remember of the beginning who mayo master, anoha and all the others make 2K Resolution Models. But 8K is a bit high. 25 MB for each sliced pic, in whole 100MB for ONE scene. Think about the size. Your HDD must always load the scene, before the game can show u the result. I think, 4K is more than enough. Haven't test your zz1.
Can u all others please add also high-res pictures from the scenes ? I need for each version a picture. I cannot make a picture from the sliced scenes and have not your project files to do this.

The whole game has a rendered size of round about 640x480 +-100px at the highest ingame scenes. U can play the game on an 8K TV, but the stretched old scenes looking very very very bad on 8K. 4K is at the moment not the standard. And as a normal desktop monitor, the most users (gamers) still have a normal 1920x1080px resolution. 4K and 8K are not desktop PC resolutions. It's for TV's like u said and maybe the pc nerds!
Why i say that ?
What do u think, how long it takes to recreate all the missing scenes in HD ?
Let me think:
We have 2 modders who create scenes. I don't count the slicers!
If each modder creates 10 scenes in a year, we need 32 years to finish it at the moment.
What do u think, which resolution is in 32 years the standard ?
Where we should draw the limit ? 4K ? 8K ? 16K? 32K?
I haven't said, don't make high-res project renders! I said, keep the ingame renders real and don't overact it.
"My personal thoughts about the HD scenes"
The problem is, all the people who doing mods here at the team avalanche forums doing all their own thing. I see no teamwork here! That's my impression! That is the first really big problem here! We have so much lonely wolfs, who doing their job. I read sometimes from different people: "good teamwork" and I just wondered. What does they mean ? Creating alone the whole scenes and put sometimes a rendered high-res picture into the thread ? :o
Another thing: It's not organized. Moders or artist lose themselves in perfection... Begun scenes will be never finished, because a line of darkness is drawed on the scene. Don't take it serious ;D I am overacting it! Perfection is not bad, but u will never finish the scenes if u act like that. Who cares the pipe who is 1mm shifted in the scene ? Or too large doors ? I don't believe the user noticed it, if he have not the comparison!
I read before months for the first time the jmp434 thread who searched for new people to help him. My personal experience is, he isn't looking for help. I have personal no problem with jmp434 or anyone else, but how u tell the people the mistakes or something bad creations is horrible. I hope for u, u have not a position in a company, where u teach newcomers. I hope it! Really! It's discourage.
The biggest thing is, that u haven't the sensitiveness. U can criticize what ever u want, but than also explain it and help the newcomers! My impression was, u search only for experienced moders and that's it. Other lonely wolfs! :evil: I have not the experience. I am new to this and i have much to learn! I know it! I am not an idiot. If I nailed it, than why u have created the tutorial ? Masters don't need a tutorial dude! And masters don't fall from the sky.
I feel lost here. I have created the overview page to be a part of a team, to learn something, and yes, I love the game too. But my feeling is, we haven't a team!
All of u doing a great job, but i don't wonder, why u haven't more moders. ::) That's my personal impression of the forums. U must don't share my opinion, of course.
Greetings.

A marginally extra amount of render time _now_ is a small price to pay for having the highest quality source material -- you might as well go all the way and shrink later if you feel like it imo.
Post by: jmp434 on 2018-09-13 18:24:20
Then you say that I did not really want to recruit people .... I have a dozen post on several forums always remain unanswered. So as I said before criticizing, try to really know what it is. Subsequently your comments, are simply a source of demotivation for anyone who reads you because you have never done anything at this level and you talk about this or that while the work you have done on the cuts is not just not good ... So your critics start a little upset ... The last little thing that I have to say is that yes I have to start my first scene with an old computer. Not powerful enough for this job. I changed during and during this change. I lost 3/4 of my work. So yes there is work to complete. The rest of the avalanche team has left all this work because of the obvious lack of people ready to really help. For my part I lack of time and I would miss even more soon being given that my wife must give birth in the days to come .... So yes I have other priority. So it would be nice to try to help rather than criticize all the time. The last scene I produced, I spent only 4 hours of my time. So obviously there are corrections to make.
Yours truly.

I'm also working on fields but for FF8. SoulEvan is disappointed because he hopes to learn how to work as a team on a big project. The graphical modders here are mostly inexperienced in a game or graphical project. We learn as we do. We can't tell when we finish a field because we do as we like, depending on the mood. There is no deadline, no budget, no quality criteria. That is why it is impossible to have a structured process on such a big project as Avalanche. That is the reality.
SoulEvan,sorry but on the team management side you have to learn by yourself, and not here unfortunately.
About the size of the render, maybe it is not clear for everyone but as you double the size of a render you multiply by almost 4 the time to render. Ex: if it takes 10 min to render a 640x480 scene, it will take 40 min for 1280x960, and 24h to render 7680x5760(8K).
You say it is to easily reuse them later when the norm is 8k. I think the quality standards in the future will be beyond what we produce today. So don't tire yourself with gigantic render, the quality will be outdated in 5 years.
From my small experience in rendering fields, do small renders (max 2048×2048) with an overall consistency in colors, contrast,shadows. Add some eye catcher details, big enough to be seen on 2048x2048 or even smaller renders.
Post here only small renders , it is very annoying to wait 10s for the picture to show. If the users want 8k scenes tell them to use an image upscaler ( waifu?).

first congratulations for your baby.
I am a final fantasy fan vii and I want to give thanks for all the effort and work you have done. please do not discuss. sure there are ways you can be a great team. only in a few months you have given us many scenes and those that remain ... take the time you need, I will continue to enter the web daily, thanks
Post by: KnifeTheSky77 on 2018-09-13 20:42:30
1. Make a trello board -- it's free https://trello.com/
2. Have columns for TODO, In-Progress and Completed
This way, you guys won't do the same scenes by accident/have a good grasp of what is already finished... all in one place.
> 24h to render 7680x5760(8K)
I have a machine that could do the final renders pretty quickly...
Post by: SoulEvan on 2018-09-13 21:19:55
So, why i have written it?
jmp434, i wrote u my feelings about my impressions. What do u think, what a newcomer think, if u tell them, he did a very very very bad job at his first try? That i mean! And u still don't get it. It was a really bad job (that's not the point), i know, but it was my first try! The most people had thrown the towel and thought: " Okay, that was really fun, but better i leave it now without a comment and come never back again!" That is the reason why i wrote my impressions about it. You are demotivating new people, they are willed to help.
Have u after my first try looked at a new version from me ? U haven't and it seems, u have not the interests to do that.
U talk permanent of "quality" and "how u do something" and only people who have done whole scenes are allowed to say something or not and such things. That is curious.
A simple question to u:"How have u begun ?"
What are u delivering with your messages ? Only people with experience are welcome. That is your message! Maybe u don't notice it, because u are fall in love by yourself. Remember, i read the most threads and posts in the avalanche forum. I tell u just the things, that i have thought the whole time by reading it.
Maybe u understand it now, or not. Don't know. But the threads, the posts are talking a really clear message to new people who are thinking about to join. And that is why i have written it, that u don't search for new people.
And why i should sugar-code it ? That doesn't change anything. I think, we are all grown. I have noticed your problem with criticism in old threads. All people who make suggestions and don't sugar-code u at first are bad people. U don't believe me ? Read your first posts! I mean, i can still write a sugar-code wall at first, if u feel better then, and then give a suggestion, but on the other side i think, who needs that ?
Maybe u understand it now. I have tried to explain it. The language barrier is another thing we are fighting against. Ok, so on.
Greetings.

- Have a centralized place is used for all source
- This would include assets used to create scenes.
- Decide upon 8x or 16x for the scaling and use it for all scenes.
- Create a todo list as suggested above.
You can use something simple like google drive (like we used to) and then people can access the files, Use the primitive resources to make their scenes quicker, do renders, You know have working flow for the project that will help you attract more help too, Everyone can then work together on the same data set using the same assets so things look consistent thru the game, The artists to focus on art and the people offering to render can also have access this way they can render the scenes marked done.People can also test the fields to be sure the walk meshes are still working correct and weird pockets are discovered or do stuff like this guy is suggesting. http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=16748.msg259379#msg259379

I don't know how people would be best organising themselves, across multiple countries, this works fine for people when they have a full time job doing the thing, but these people are doing it in whatever spare time they can find, so it can't really be too rigid honestly.
With the regular event of stopping a scene whilst waiting for inspiration, or quitting a scene entirely, it might be a good idea to upload the actual scene files, the meshes and cameras somewhere, this way if someone else can continue, someone else can continue.
What makes most of these mods is really texturing, mesh wise its all the same really, but the texturing and lighting is what kicks it up a notch.
Additionally, lighting especially is, one of my personal shortcomings, I'm terrible at it, and I'm a 3D artist by profession, I've worked on many games but I can't light for shit, but if someone else uploads a scene with complete lighting, I can retexture it and try to helpout.
For me its mainly the lighting putting me off, for others it might be lining up the objects, it'll be different for different people, but having a base can really help get things moving I think.
So a shared repository for the actual scenes would be great IMHO.

first of all, congratulations on acquiring a new house to live in and for becoming soon "one of us" married people! I wish you the best of luck!
Said that, wow.... More wonderful creations that are really giving us all hope that one day we will play the game with update graphics that are both new and at the same time quite faithful to the original art! We couldn't really ask for more.
Square Enix should have hired Dan (Reunion), UpRisen, Kaldarasha, you, jmp434 and a few others for the visual upgrade and a few more (including Tsunamods for professional Voice Over coordination) to just revamp the game. With your pooled talent we would have improved a game that only needed that very kind of improvements you are sharing with the community for free.

These really look great! I was curious if you guys could do a tutorial for modeling these. You guys knock these out so quickly, I'm curious what tools you're using and how they compare to mine. I'm specializing in Environment Art, particularly in Procedural modeling, so I'm curious what your process is, and how these scenes compare to one made for Unreal (you're using Sketchup right?). Currently I blockout scenes in UE4 with BSP's, and model based on the blockouts in either Maya or Houdini, generally everything is modular. If someone can put together a run down of a completed scene explaining how things were done I'd definitely check it out.Hey nice to see you around agaian. I have sent a message on discord xD

Just to say that I'm not dead ! I'm actually busy and a little tired so it's difficult for me to slice all the new backgrounds (they are amazing !).
I'm still working on Faulked's reactor screens, because I must remake the animation of the bridge explosion. I hope finishing it this week.

Two months of work on this one, because I had a lot of bugs (there are still some, but related to Ali's driver so it's impossible to rectify without completely redoing the modeling) and especially it was necessary that I recreate the animation of the explosion of the bridge, here is the rendering in game :

Love the amazing work going on here. hope it never ends till every background is rendered. very much considering donating to this project. Keep it up~!The project is going slow right now because I'm very busy atm and I'm the only one doing the renders right now but I'm still on it and the goal is to finish all the game, of course.

Both Versions are great. It were sad if just one version would be finished 8-)

I was wondering if you take into consideration ffvii 4th disc items pictures into your project as easter eggs ( attached images (https://thelifestream.net/news/final-fantasy-vii-news/1170/final-fantasy-vii-4th-disc-perfect-guide-images/) )
Post by: Shampignon on 2019-04-03 12:29:27
The picture you show me is not a finished version. Light is missing and the floor is too dark. JMP himself considered that the version I worked on was the final version, so I will not use this image, sorry.

Now Kalm main town xDD
As the time of rendering and load of work on my computer is too much, I started to use a rendering farm service to have the renders in less time. As obvious, they are charging me some money for the service and unfortunately I can´t afford that so I´ve opened an account to top-up the service when needed. If you can contribute to the project any donation will be appreciate. Thanks for your support!

Which 3D Software do u use to create the rooms? And which render for the light effects?
I played for months ago with sketchup, but is was a real pain. And i haven't found a free render for light effects. Can u please write down all the programs u are using and maybe some notes, when do u use it? Thanks. Are the programs all for free? Or did u buy them?

That looks great.I'm using SketchUp for the rooms and the buildings and for caves and terrains 3ds max, all rendered with vray next. I'm using the license from a friend ho works in an office xD. Need to practice and watch lots of YouTube xD and try to find good plugins (one of the most important things in SketchUp, plugins will make your life easy). Photoshop for the post-production.

Can you also upload un-memoryscrambled versions elsewhere?
https://finalfantasy.german-syslinux-blog.de/FF7/
All existing released scenes can be found there. Either that or you search by yourself through many posts here to find each published scene. The most scenes can be found on the first page, but this are the raw images without additional effects from other members like "Shampignon", who sliced the scenes. The screens on the first page are mostly not the released ones. Just for information :)
@ Jusete
I thought it. Without to pay a license it seems to be hopeless. ::) Thanks for your answer.

Just noticed a couple of significant-ish differences between the original and your gorgeous new render, and wanted to make you aware of them in case they were overlooked:
The flooring on the upper shops looks cobbled in the original, but looks more like linear concrete in the render, is this intentional? The only other thing that stood out to me is the section between the windows on the first floor of the weapon shop - it looks better in your render than the original (not sure whats going on in the original), but I think it would look even better with the wood X cross through it, like the other shops next to it.
Once again, incredible work :D

In my opinion the color contrast between the ground on the upper shop and the wall just under is too strong and the original cobblestones pattern look better style-wise. But this is just minor nitpicking for an otherwise splendid rendition!
Thanks again, jusete!

Btw, my ff7_opengl.cfg file already has the direct_mode = on...
(I have all the mods from the 7th heaven launcher on, in case it matters.)
This is how my cfg file end.
## MODDER OPTIONS ##
## These options are mostly useful to modders and should not be enabled during normal play.
# read files directly instead of using LGP archives
# for example; if FF7 is looking for aaab.rsd in char.lgp, this option will make it open direct/char/aaab.rsd first,
# if this file doesn't exist it will look for the original in the LGP archive
direct_mode = on
# show every failed attempt at loading a .png texture
show_missing_textures = off
# extern additional library
load_library = Multi.dll

(DK is my mod folder xD)
This is the code inside the ff7_opengl.cfg file:

# subdirectroy of mods/ where textures will be loaded from
mod_path = DK
Idk if will work with another field mod enabled in 7th heaven though
Post by: Alan on 2019-08-28 20:13:23
oh, sorry I wanted to say the mod folder. You need to set up a mod folder path first, create a folder called field and then place the field folders inside , this is how I have mine:It works perfectly! It's wonderful :-D

It will work, but it needs to be loaded above the others. Priority is given from top to bottom in the Active Mods tab.

Kalm main town is actually in progress, but I don't have much time to work on it...And I have also discovered the NT Mod ;D
Be patient friends ;)

I just wanted to share it with you so you can overlay both in gimp of toshop and keep only the aliased lights edges part from waifu.
But if you can solve it with other methods, go for it ^^

The problem with the ai upscale is that you loose all the detail. Check the signs next to the reactor gate, you can´t even read "NORTH GATE". I don´t see any issue with the aliasing to be honest, only few places but nothing that photoshop and the smoothing tool can solve xD
Absolutely my thoughts. The details with the written text is something that I noticed first at viewing the picture of satsuki. I did not notice any of the anti aliasing problems. Better a readable text, than an anti aliasing problems solved. Just my two cents. hehe :D

What I've done here is used the edges of the lights from satsuki's version, and everything else from jusete's version. It's more work, but the results are a best of both worlds, thanks to that manual touch.

I made the layering of the two last scenes of Kalm, but I saw a little default in the pub that I can resolve, and I didn't test the main town yet.
I'm in holliday for the week, I'll probably finish when I'm back.
So, some news soon !

For what it's worth the final scenes can be easily Anti Aliased if they are rendered in sufficiently high resolution and then downsample it to the desired final resolution.
Plus this is a JPEG upload of the render so there will be some compression.(Almost always a problem with flat shades of red, especially if there is subsampling. DXT compression murders solid shades of color as well. Making them look awful)
This specific example looks like the server rendering the image isn't actually rendering the image or the lights specifically in 4k x 4k. But rather slightly under and then upsampling (Which is where the aliasing more than likely comes from based on how the image looks and how those edges look with slight haloing). That or there's an issue with the rendering settings.
No one should have an issue with it as is anyway because no one is going to be playing the game at a resolution fully capable of displaying a 4096x4096 image for it to be that apparent.. And if they were, at that point it's more than good enough that the backgrounds have just been remade at all in a higher resolution than a portion of a 512 pixel height image in a 240 pixel view port.

And if they were, at that point it's more than good enough that the backgrounds have just been remade at all in a higher resolution than a portion of a 512 pixel height image in a 240 pixel view port.
You're wrong because:
1) 4k display are cheap and common these days
2) the fields aren't displayed in 1:1 of theirs original size, the zoom level of the camera show most of the time only a part of the screen, so for exemple if the camera show you 50% of the screen and you play in 1920*1080 the field must been in 4k to be displayed 1:1
As for the render, as i underdound, Jusete use paid server to do the rendering, so it may cost more to render at bigger resolution and emulate some antialiasing.
The render is in most part realy great, i put this option to remove the small default (by layering to keep only the aliased parts of the esrgan one), because the best the picture, the more you'll notice defaults.

I have a minor criticism to the color choice for the roofs in Kalm. As you can see in this video (https://youtu.be/v_inrmMealQ?t=267), the color of the roofs is quite different and makes a much nicer contrast with the color used for the square's cobblestones.
The color of the wall where the stairs are could also be better, I think. In the original game, and that video above shows it, it has some better contrast with the pavement of the stair and the floor above where the stores are. It has more of a red tint and it does look nicer.
The rest is of course wonderful, as always!
Keep up the great job!

The images contained in the files are not complete images, they are tiled images generated by the Palmer software to make them playable...
So I don't have a bigger resolution online. Did someone know a website where I can download big images ?

cubeupload.com has a 5MB limit
But also, in photoshop if you use level 12 quality JPGs usually it is almost indistinguishable from lossless and ends up saving quite a bit of space. Level 11 and 10 add a bit of visible compression but save more space.
This is a level 12 JPG, which was 10.7MB before compression
https://abload.de/img/crysis3_2019_11_24_22m4kd5.jpg
With level 12 compression it's cut in half to about 5.xMB
Here's a difference map between lossless and level 12 JPG
https://abload.de/img/differencelevel12jpgvhskwu.jpg basically none
VS Level 5 JPG

md1_1 finished!!!
(https://i.imgur.com/XQf2WkX.jpg)
It´s going to take a while to start the next one as I´m really busy with the las preparations for the big day and with work. I´ll probably come back on Decembre or maybe January so that will give some time to Shampignon to finish the backgrounds xD.
Thanks guys!
As the time of rendering and load of work on my computer is too much, I started to use a rendering farm service to have the renders in less time. As obvious, they are charging me some money for the service and unfortunately I can´t afford that so I´ve opened an account to top-up the service when needed. If you can contribute to the project any donation will be appreciate. Thanks for your support!
:-o :-o can't wait to try this in game. Awsome really.

I mean if you have the fields in aalis driver mod folder and you have another field model activated in 7th heaven. I suppose it will load the 7th heaven one... :-)As we just figured out via you and TrueOdin on the Discord, 7H always wins. If we want to have your fields take top priority, then fall back to something else (e.g. satsuki's upscales), we'll need to package yours as an IRO and load it ahead of any others.

Post by: LordUrQuan on 2019-12-18 23:10:51
Or just unpack Satsuki's Iro file and merge all with Final Fantasy VII HD Field Scenes Database pack into "D:\Games\steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY VII\mods\Textures\field" (or into whatever path you have installed the game). Btw md1_1 in not released yet i think.Well, like I said, I've already created a "Project Edge" IRO that's completely independent of satsuki or any other pack. The biggest trouble with your suggestion is that it locks the user in, but there are some out there who (for whatever reason) prefer Remako, and maybe some who even like some of the earlier projects. By using load order, a preferred/fallback position is created :)

Would there really be that much rust? Rust implies the presence of water or moisture. Surely that's a ridiculous danger to the stability/safety of the reactor and isn't something they would allow?
I actually thought also that the amount of rust was overkill.

Did you forget these layers or is it voluntary ?

No, I didn't know that. I will download it. But i don't use 7TH FH personally. I use it just for testing purposes. I modded my entire game through the files itself, packed it and fine. If I reinstall my system i have just to extract the files and i am ready to play. ;) 8)

And by the way: Is it just me or are many mods missing in the new FH 2.0 Version? A simple example are the Avalanche field scenes and many others are not in the catalog anymore. Refreshed the catalog already, but nothing changes. Are many mods incompatible with the new version or what is the reason?

Avalanche fields were moved to the Miscellaneous mod that also allows to use Jessie in the first mission; some mods were condensed into 1 single mod with multiple options to configure, the rest id assume were removed because they no longer worked with 7th Heaven or the creator of said mod no longer wanted it included in the catalog. So you may have to download and then configure some of the mods to see everything it has

Most are still there. These TA fields are in Miscellaneous now (md1_1 md1_2 are in it), Reunion options were taken out, ESUI replaced Menu Overhaul, and a couple of the movie options were removed (they were old and taking up too much space).
The Catalog 2.xx Categories were condensed into one Category download, but the options are all still there in the Configure menu.
New mods were also added, such as the popular ninostyle models.

It'd be nice to have a scene count on the OT in the first page so that we can see how far this has already gone and how many backgrounds still need to be done.
Thanks!

Thanks for the last releases! :) Just one little "bug" with Project Edge.iro activated:It's working fine for me. Check that treasure chest model, maybe causing a conflict with my iro. Change the loading order and try.

Absurd jusete, next Midgar remaster here.
Post by: SoulEvan on 2020-03-15 00:32:08
Just for information:
Reactor 1 and Reactor 5
nmkin_2 is similar to smkin_2
nmkin_3 is similar to smkin_3
nmkin_4 (already finished) is similar to smkin_4
nmkin_5 is similar to smkin_5
That are nearly the same scenes. They only thing that is different is the color scheme and few smoke effects.
Reactor 1
https://finalfantasy.german-syslinux-blog.de/FF7/index.php?db=1&loc=29
Touch of green
Reactor 5
https://finalfantasy.german-syslinux-blog.de/FF7/index.php?db=1&loc=30
Touch of blue
If u have finished all Reactor 1 Scenes, only little color modifications are required to have the scenes for the reactor 5.

If I replace the files, the order doesn't care in my opinion, because u can only overwrite the file once. And I have no other mod, that replace these files.
Is the IRO Link from the first site the actual? Your gate download from the first site including some files with a different filesize in comparison with the IRO packet. Which one is the right? And if both are the right, why they have different filesizes?
The IRO hasn't a file named ok.tex in it, the gate packet has!
Also the BYCA.rsd + BYCB.P filesize is different.
Thanks in advance. :)

Just to know, to me looks like this, I play on 2k resolution. BTW thanks for last releases, always a joy to test your works in game ;)Some pretty nasty looking JPG compression artifacts in the background image here in game.
(https://thumbs2.imagebam.com/e7/79/a3/7f42211337159743.jpg) (http://www.imagebam.com/image/7f42211337159743)
Is there a reason why the backgrounds inserted into the game aren't based off lossless images? (Or at least level 12 JPG compression?) Seems pretty counter intuitive to make these backgrounds so high quality and then toss it in game with what seems like a lot of compression. (And lower resolution too?)
Looking back at the posted image (Which is a PNG) https://i.ibb.co/t29mH35/nmkin-1-0-00000000.png
Seems the compression artifacts visible are present here as well.
Are these being rendered by an online service for you once you complete them or something and it's coming from that?

I just came across this mod after installing 7th Heaven 2.0 and I just want to thank everyone who is contributing to it. It is amazing and really breathes new life into the game. Cheers.
Quick question: I have noticed that the mod is in the "miscellaneous" category of the 7th Heaven catalogue instead of the field textures. Is it because the mod is unfinished? I'm just curious.
Thank you and keep up the great work! I've bookmarked this thread. :)

I love your mod and can't play the game without it, but drives me nuts that the game crashes every 10 minutes because the resolution of the images are too big.
I also see other people in Discord complaining that their game keeps on crashing. I hear recommendations given to them to disable your beautiful mod, which in my opinion, should be a sin to disable ...
I took it unto myself to resize the textures just for me to use. So my game stops crashing so frequently and randomly, but many of the guys there at Discord, ask me for it and they said they have tried without luck to resize it in the past. Is not that hard with Photoshop, the game still looks beautiful at 1024 x 1024, even on a 4K TV at 4K resolution. Please allow us it at Discord and let Tsunamix, unabOmb, strife98 or me know if is OK or not to use your mod with the the resized textures.
I gave you all the credit, is your work and is a masterpiece. I just used Photoshop to resize it a bit.
Thank you!! and we wait to hear back from you!

bonkers the driver has limits on size of textures can reliably load
I wasn't aware of the resolution limitations. Which suck on it's own. But i'm talking about the quality of the compression used in the game ready images. The packs are PNG images but some backgrounds like the recently shown ones above seem to baked into the game ready PNGs with heavy JPG compression before that happens, ex https://finalfantasy.german-syslinux-blog.de/FF7/Field-Scene-Comparison/NEW-DB1/nmkin_1_v0.jpg Is this being compressed before it's baked into the tiled PNG used for the game? Or is the visible compression from the sources used for the textures when the BG was made?
Compared to Field Scene 526: nrthmk by Faulked which has basically no visible jpg compression artifacts in the final game ready PNGs.
Hence why I asked if maybe this was due to how the final image was rendered before it was converted to the final tiled format?
Excuse my ignorance if you may, the work done here is fantastic. Just hate to see it diminished by poor compression when it seems clearly it doesn't need to have it reducing the quality of the final work(If resolution is the only important limiting factor of the game driver).
Post by: SoulEvan on 2020-04-08 05:23:43
the images on the site are mostly converted from png to jpg. For example, if Jusete release a preview image of the finished scene in jpg, i put it on the site without any changes 1:1. PNG files are too big and I must think about the trafficload on my site. I have to choose a compromise. The images on the site are NOT always the real ingame quality scenes.
U have to run the game and go to this place to look the "real" quality. :)
But what u said for this scene..., i noticed that too.

[4x Upscale] - Project Edge Fields.iro
Images on that mod (4x Upscale) are 1K instead of 4K from the originals Jusete release, even on a 4K TV playing at 4K resolution can barely tell the difference, you have to put your face on the screen to see the pixels ... and not safe to play so close to the screen 8)
Post by: SoulEvan on 2020-04-08 06:21:07
He want High-Res quality. To choose smaller images in 1K instead of 2K/4K don't solve the issue with the artifacts in the nmkin_1 scene. And u resized the original scenes from jusete. So, the quality from your resized pack is worse than the quality of the 2K scenes on 2K/4K screens. And was the reason to make the mod not, that some people couldn't play the game with the 2K/4K scenes (gamecrash etc)? Which person should voluntary choose the worse resolution pack, if the 2K/4K pack works? I think, no one. ;)
Just people with gamecrash issues. But that are just my two cents. :)

Looks fantastic! Thanks!
I don't know about it looking too dark compared to the original, but I wouldn't mind more lights. Colored lights, maybe, to give it more of a pop. Maybe some green and red lights here and there to complement the blue? I say you can take some liberty with how you recreate the scenes in regard to how they look in the original game. There's also the fact that the remake just came out, and really amazed me with its lighting. The reactors had a lot of colors that created a stylized atmosphere; I wouldn't mind seeing that applied to the original!
In any case, thank you a lot for doing this. It's super appreciated.

Some questions for you : Are you working alone on this project ? In the forum, i've read that some others guys are working on scenes too ! i don't want to seem impatient, but do you have a percentage of finishing work ? Because there are many many object and i can't estimate the amount of work (i don't know anything about 3D, rendering etc).
i'll donate some money at the end of the month ! Your work are amazing and need to be supported !

I think I´m the most active creating this scenes. Falulked is working in some as well(his work is very good) and Shampignon and AxlRose are importing the fields to the game(big work here, they have to cut all the layers and animations wich is a lot of work).
About the percentaje, I don´t really know tbh xD. I have completed kalm, materia caves, sleepy man and Weapons seller house, chocobo sage house, Pagoda ....and few from the path to the 5th reactor.

Your gates and objects archive has some files with non lower case characters in the file names. All items in char.lgp should be named with lower case letters.
To answer the question of how many are done in total between this and others, I currently have 98 Updated and new fields that is about 1/7th or 14% of all the fields.

Using 7th Heaven Mod Manager 2.0 and looks like the Team Avalanche field textures from Miscellaneous aren't completely up to date for me either. Jusete's nmkin_1, elevtr, as well as nmking_2 from this thread don't seem to be loading for me, and I have it at the very top of the load order. Most everything else that's in this thread seems to be intact and present. Anyway that it's possible my iro isn't updating?

It's not going to have the most recent updates at all times (but most of the time it will). Sorry about that :|
Jusete doesn't have release versions/dates, so I can't accurately put information in the release notes section of 7H when a new field is added. The best I could do is list them, adding the new field to the list each time, but I don't think the average user is going to know how to come to this thread and check for anything newer.
And I will be honest...I've been working on Qhimm Catalog for many years, and it's taken its toll on me. I am exhausted trying to keep up with ongoing projects (there are many) and keeping them all constantly updated. It's not a simple matter of downloading, dropping them in, uploading and calling it a day. It takes a lot more work/time for just a single mod, let alone dozens of ongoings.
I really want the Qhimm Catalog and Mods of the Round to merge into a single database that the mod authors can access and update on their own. That way I could spend more time on testing proper load orders and writing compilation guides for people to safely load and play.

Oh wow. I did not realize exactly how much work you personally had to do for these iros. And the work Jusete and anyone else with their own iro has to do in order to update. Sorry if I at all came across as impatient. The work you and all the modders on this site do is incredible and can imagine staying silently motivated to keep working and updating things must be tough. Take your time, and best of luck to you figuring out a solution that can give you time and resources back, and make your life all around easier. Don't crush your mental health with this stuff for our sake. We appreciate all that you and the very dedicated modders have done so far.

That is a problem. As a developer u should provide a platform or a possibility to ensure, the modder themselves could easily add their stuff. Have u written an manual for the modders to create their own IRO/Mods packets? It is not your thing to collect all the mods/changes from different threads/sites and then adding them to an existing or not existing IRO File. That is the thing of the modders (normally). U provide just the program! U are Windows or Linux. U don't make pictures, movies, personal data etc!The user does!
The most modders provide their creations as lgp files or as direct files. I like the IRO Files for the structure. U can easily see, which files are for what. Each thing (model) has his own folder. So, if i want to change the Cloud model, i look into the folder with the name "cloud..." and copy these files.
For comparison:
If I download the packets from for example ninostyle i can't say, which file does what. I see only hundreds of files and doesn't know what is for what. A great issue if u are looking for a single character model. That is of course a great deal for the modder, but not for the user.
Maybe you all find a solution for this. :)
Edit://
I created an IRO with all finished files:
https://finalfantasy.german-syslinux-blog.de/FF7/Field-Scene-Packets/
I will update the package every time a new scene is available. I doing this for the database the whole time. So this is no much more work for me. All modders are named in the readme.
Why many different projects (Iros), if the user want the whole field scene competition? Yep, not necessary. Each modder has his own thread and on the database site are all donation links for each one.

That is a problem. As a developer u should provide a platform or a possibility to ensure, the modder themselves could easily add their stuff. Have u written an manual for the modders to create their own IRO/Mods packets? It is not your thing to collect all the mods/changes from different threads/sites and then adding them to an existing or not existing IRO File. That is the thing of the modders (normally). U provide just the program! U are Windows or Linux. U don't make pictures, movies, personal data etc!The user does!
The most modders provide their creations as lgp files or as direct files. I like the IRO Files for the structure. U can easily see, which files are for what. Each thing (model) has his own folder. So, if i want to change the Cloud model, i look into the folder with the name "cloud..." and copy these files.
For comparison:
If I download the packets from for example ninostyle i can't say, which file does what. I see only hundreds of files and doesn't know what is for what. A great issue if u are looking for a single character model. That is of course a great deal for the modder, but not for the user.
Maybe you all find a solution for this :)
Yes, I understand and agree. It’s why I made my last statement about creating a single database for the modders to have access for uploading.
I’ve been around for nearly 10 years now. I started with PitBrat and Bootleg Configurator, which gave users the option to freely choose their mod setup before installing. Then Iros came along and created 7H, serving the same purpose as Bootleg but faster and without modifying our game files. The idea of centralizing mods to one database has always been here, but it’s been maintained by only a handful of Qhimm members. I’m the only one that has stuck around, and I’m exhausted trying to maintain.
The idea of having a freely accessible database for modders to upload/update is in the works. It will be happening hopefully this year :)

This is fantastic! It'll make your life much easier, and it'll mean that the 7th Heaven catalogue will get udpated at a faster pace. Everybody wins!

Finally all to say, that it will take you a long time to finalize this project which is in my opinion one of the biggest seen to date may be that I am wrong. So a big thank you to you but to all those who contribute to modeling FF7 and thank you for making the community benefit from it a big respect to you you do the excellent work I wish you continued on this path. if the heaviness of the work you barely take rest change your ideas and come back to it once the head is empty don't forget that you have a life nearby.

The FFVII HD FIELD SCENES package are the unmodified original scenes from all modders so far, not just from the user jusete.
So, in conclusion, u don't need the team avalanche field scene packet, nor the [4x Upscale] project edge packet or the normal project edge packet, when u use the FFVII HD FIELD SCENES package. It's all in this single package in 2K+.
Decide yourself. 8)
Post by: kilyan on 2020-05-07 04:38:25
As far as I know, the [4x Upscale] project edge package is a downscaled version of the original. He shrank the original field scenes to 1K resolution, because some user had problems with the higher resolution ones. The original scenes are mostly in 2K+. I don't know, if the [4x Upscale] project edge contains ALL of the field scenes or just the field scenes from jusete. Don't know.

its lack of blue color compared to the original is this a choice or is it not possible to do so
Post by: SoulEvan on 2020-05-13 20:36:12
But about the color of the water ... It depends on whether you create realistic scenes or not. The water itself is not blue. But sure, blue water would fit the art style itself better.
But in this scene I'm not sure if this is "Mako" or real water. I do not know. In many "Mako" scenes, it's mostly blue too.
But everyone could create their own creations if you don't like the published ones. Everyone is free to do so. I really hope that this project will be joined by a few more people who are really serious. Because the results so far have been great. :)
Post by: benitobennet on 2020-05-15 21:09:51
and yes the water is not blue, it seems to me that it is due to the atmosphere or something like that or vice versa, in short I stray from the subject. :)
keep it up you do a great job

so I guess you won't need to remodel smkin_1 from zero ? ^^
same thing for smkin_4 with nmkin_3 finished. for smkin_4 should it just apply some 3d and color modification?

Just to say that I'm not dead ^^ and that I began the layering of the nmkin's.
Just one thing Jusete : in the nmkin_4 and smkin_4 fields, the Mako should be flat. You made some waves, but in the game there is no animation for the Mako, so the waves are still... It looks strange... What do you think ?

I'm just getting back to playing FF7 and saw this and just wow, seriously great work.
I'm wondering if you would be able to put up a completion status summary on the first post (x of x renders complete, etc), I have no idea of how many fields there are in total, but I'm interested in the completeness of this. Of course, I'll be donating too to help make this thing a reality. Amazingly high quality, very impressed!
Post by: LordUrQuan on 2020-07-03 14:45:50
I have no idea of how many fields there are in total, but I'm interested in the completeness of this.There are 729 fields, of which between Jusete, faulked, jmp434, and others, of which 85 have been remodeled and made available for inclusion.
Post by: dangarfield on 2020-07-03 15:38:15
I would love to see a mod in 7th Heaven that includes these 85 (maybe selectably) amazingly reworked fields, but for the ones that have not been done yet, the upscaled ones from Remako are used. I might post this on the 7th Heaven board too.
Note: Whilst I'm not a C* based developer, I write code on a daily basis so may be able to assist and would love to contribute towards this project. If not in a modelling capacity, then in a coding or administrative role (I don't know why you don't have a trello board of maintained status page for Team Avalanche. This is my first day of looking, will love to get involved gradually.

This one was a nightmare to slice ! I had to remove two pillars on the structure at the top of the ladder because it was impossible to make the characters pass behind, and to make the bottom of the map more darker because I had empty areas (that stand out in black in game) when i created transparency with gateways.

Do you know if you can widen this walkway? If you use non-chibi models (since the people playing this mod are likely going to be doing so anyway), then it looks like Cloud is floating in the air.

I think it's the same with the original map...

I think it would be a good idea to accommodate for the real-life proportioned models for the very rare occasions issues like these pop up.

Great job! How are you dealing with slicing the 'semi transparent layers, e.g. Where the game uses additive or subtractive blending? Are these included in the sliced output also or it is just ignored? Same with param and state layers? Are they included too? I may have something that may be able to help identify and seperate later if you're interestedI did a quick test and everything was working fine. Shampignon did an amazing work importing them xD

Very complicated to. As nmkin_2, I had to remove two pillars on the structure at the top of the ladder because it was impossible to make the characters pass behind, and to make the bottom of the map more darker because I had empty areas (that stand out in black in game) when i created transparency with gateways. A lamp was added near the exit door because there was a light effect coming out of nowhere.

I had to make the top of the scene more blue because there was too much difference (more yellow) with what we saw in the previous screen.

is there a reason I can't get this mod to work with 7H? Every other one I try works except this one, game runs but the background is still the same as the original
I'm having the same issue. The mod worked before, but after I started a new game recently I noticed that these fields will not load. I recently went to Aerith's house and am now currently in the sewers and I remember these were part of the project (looks fantastic by the way). But now, only the Remako fields are loading. Not sure what happened as I did not make any changes to 7th Heaven. I currently have the newest version 2.2.3.522, and Project Edge is above the "Field Textures-Qhimm Catalog," and the mod path is set correctly. I already tried resetting the mod path and deleted and re-downloaded the mod but no luck.

Aerith House and sewers are not done by me so you won't find them in this package. You can go to the first page on this thread and check out which ones are done by me. ;)
Oh crap it wasn't you! My bad! I just realized they were Team Avalanche Fields. Now I'm wondering why and how they were taken off my mod list. Anywho, sorry for the confusion! Also, thanks for all the hard work you and your team has done for this. Everything looks beautiful!

Next one will be the small tunnel between the reactor and sector 8. After that the train station....maybe xDAs per Jusete, the train station is next... most probably.

Also for good reference, other OG artworks: https://www.creativeuncut.com/art_final-fantasy-7_g.html
Jusete did you make the first background of FF7 OG? If not, is it too much of asking to see it done by your style?

Sorry guys. My baby girl was born on last Wednesday :-* and I'll be busier than usual during the next 20 years :P. I did start the field after the tunnel( the one wedge burns his ass xD). After that one I'll re-do the first field so we can have the reactor finished (between me and kuraudo). It will take a while though...
Congrats Jusete!

Again, HUGE kudos and I wish you the most sincere congratulations on your newborn. Having kids was the best thing I've ever done in my life.
Keep up the wonderful work and I'll keep my mod on "auto update" and look forward to your progress; cheers mate!

The lasts screen you done are very impressive !
For this one, did you use the original flames for the animation, or did you remake them?
PS : Sorry for those who wait, but I'm on another project for the moment. I'll import the last three screens as soon as possible, be patient ;)

Yes, this is this project. I'm happy you like my new fields :)
About md8_1, I saw afterwards that I had to cut out the fence, and I was thinking of asking you to send it to me, but if you have the courage to slice by yourself, so much the better !
If you want, I can send you the fire layers upscaled by Satsuki.

Has anyone gotten this issue with the chocobo farm interior? "frmin"

Using latest Reunion, game save is during the Meteor fall near the end of the game.
There's four files, not sure what's causing it.

I'm currently experiencing a bit of an issue in the beginning of the game where going to the next field scene (md1_1) where you meet Barret and Jessie, everything is completely slowed down and sometimes crashes. I did update to the latest FFNx driver and restarted with only this mod enabled, still get the same thing. Is there something I'm doing wrong?
Edit: Nevermind, I figured out what I did wrong.
is this related with "enable_animated_textures" setting on FFNx.toml? On latest FFNx canaries i have this issue if I try to enable it..

You should read the last link under "Other useful mods" section.

Man, I really dig this mod. Is there any way I can use both these field textures and SWY's upscales? I think it'd be jarring to have these beautiful recreations one second and then the low-res official backgrounds for areas that haven't been completed in this mod. Can I make it so that my default field textures are this mod, and then any other ones are the SWY upscale? Thanks.Yes, just have them both active, with Project Edge above SYW in the load order.

But there is also another field if you check the link
If I remember correctly, he didn't import that, because the scene is misaligned (Length, width, room is smaller or wider or similar ). The other scene was misaligned too, but he could fix it, somehow ;D. The original and the new scene from Ben Nicholas doesn't use the right dimensions. They don't fit together. Compare the scenes. Then u see it yourself. Hope I could enlighten you. :-D

It seems that the direct links (MEGA) for zz7 and zz8 are no longer valid.

On the other hand, people using The Reunion cannot unfortunately use 7th Heaven.
