Sorry about the whole "not updating in forever" thing. I've been really busy with school work and stuff, and on top of that, FFVIII just came out on PSN and I forgot how awesome that game actually is if you sit down and play it properly

anyway, nice to see some progress is happening here without me, small as it may be. I can't really tell yet which scene it is though, probably because I haven't played FF7 in a long while. If memory serves me correctly though, I think it's the inside of the midgar train, the cargo carriage. Am I right?

At any rate, keep up the good work

Got an update for you guys...actually i'm not really sure if it can be called an update to be honest, last time i posted an update, progress was at pretty much the same stage. But I have added windows now. Also everything is a lot more perfected than it was before.

I know the last 2 buildings arent right, I just copied the second one to show what it'll eventually look like

Timu Sumisu · « **Reply #165 on:** 2010-02-26 20:28:32 »

Looks great man! Keep up the grat work!

Cyberman · « **Reply #166 on:** 2010-02-26 23:34:33 »

Fun stuff looks like, a question however, I assume these are all custom models? IE basic scene made up from the scene with each building and object uniquely defined?

Just curious because that is a lot of work. Not to say there is an 'easy better way'. Just thinking about it makes me twitch a bit.

I assume you are all using different modelers? Do you have a unified output? (IE a single output format for the models).

Also have any of you seen this image?

Model formats arn't much an issue, if anything it'll bt getting the lighting and textures to match between artists.

Have you considered a 'style' method? IE each artist has a section of the game and uses a particular style for all objects within that part?

I think the Shinra Mansion would be a lot of fun to work on for example.
However tempus fugit I have car motors to control

Thats probably a good approach! Ultimately we just want it to match the original game in terms of style, but splitting people by section is probably a good idea, at least sections that are similar. For example not all of midgar is the same. The inside of HQ is highly different from the slums, etc. So far Xenobond and I each have a scene frmo sector 7 slums, but apart from that I think we'll manage.

Fun times start once it comes down to the Forgotten Capital.

You might see someone attempt that in 10 years or so at the rate we are going
