[FF7PC] Final Fantasy VII "AVALANCHE ARISEN" Battle Textures iro
UpRisen:
Hello all,
My name is Uprisen and I am the Project Manager for Project Echo-S and the founder of AVALANCHE ARISEN.
AVALANCHE ARISEN is a sister group to Project Echo-S and our primary goal is to remake, remodel, and retexture all the visual aspects of Final Fantasy VII. This includes battle scenes, field scenes, character/enemy/npc models, world map, and spell/summon animations. As of this moment I have a first release of the Battle Texture IRO. It contains every battle scene in the game retextured to the best available quality I could produce. I will continue to update these scenes as I have recently learned how to adjust the models for the scenes which will fix some of the clipping and spacing issues that are currently in this mod.
I started this project 6 months ago with zero prior experience and this iro is the result of over 200 hours of work.
Download:
To install extract the IRO from the 7z file and place it in your ff7/mods/7th heaven folder then launch 7h and it will appear in your library.

New ULTRALITE pack now available on nexus. 256x256 max textures to match vanilla. Just a simple waifu downscale and pack is untested and will not be updated unless I also make a major texture change to the full pack.

Great stuff! Are you interested in removing the square shadow look of the ground? I actually planed to do it myself when I finished all human characters for the battles but maybe you're faster then me. The thing is that every battle map has some light backed on it. However this can be removed with Kimera, so you have the option to bake now light on the texture or use kimera's lighting tool to shade the vertecies again. Though the problem is that Kimera doesn't load all objects of the battle map, but if you plan to only fix the ground, this will be enough.

These look quite good! I'll definitely be downloading and comparing to the ones we already have. I know some textures have only been upscaled, so it will be nice to be able to replace those with more that have been made from scratch

YES! I am going to be adjusting the lighting and adjusting the position of the models of the stage in order to remove clipping issues. As you play through youll see that areas like the reactor catwalk are horribly missaligned, or that the world map battle scenes have a clear line where the backgrounds smash into each other at an angle and even with a perfect seemless texture that I use it ends up making a clear line where the images dont appear alligned. Tsunamix is also converting several of the backgroud images to a 3d model for me so that I can remove the super distorted pixel look they have. He already has done the building in the Aeris deds fight but I dont have a drawing tablet and my painting skill in gimp are very lacking so Im currently unable to make it a nice high quality, insted I just plasterd a base generic color/texture layer over the entier thing. Its my personal least favorite thing in the entire iro but it just serves as a good reference point for me as i move foward completeing this and other projects.

I was inspired by Team Avalanche after playing with their battle and field scenes and I was deeply saddened when I saw that they had stopped production of their work. But just like Barret says in Cosmo Canyon "Urrrrrgh! I'm gonna do it!!
Again... Again... AVALANCHE's born again!" And just like that AVALANCHE ARISEN was born.
Looking foward into the new year you guys can expect to see a completed world map released mid-late January, Several updates to this IRO over the first few months to fix remaining issues, and even a magic texture update. I am also working on several methods to upscale and do corrections on the field scenes. I know that there are enough basic upscales available but I have been working with Tsunamix to rethink the way that we upscale. Our method should provide the closest comparision to Team Avalanches fields without actually redrawing the entire game.

Nice work man!I already rework on magics textures and magics models effects but i’m not satisfied for ice magic if you can make a good render this can be really good!
