hey, a bit off topic, i got inspired by your civilian cloud and drew a character similar looking (not completely the same, hairs different and no pouldron (sp?))

i could do some work on photoshop and put it up if you'd like to take a quick look at it.


a bit more on topic, your work is still awesome every time i see it

I don't see why you can't post a link, and it sounds like...
you drew a guy with jeans, a pair of boots, a jacket, and with hair.

I think that design... can't really be copyrighted. =P

thats the main reason I released it as civilian cloud and the other tifa design.

-Reserved for Hall of Fame-

The Hall of Fame is to draw attention to the winners of each contest we hold, if and when that happens.

They will be recorded by what year and month they won, and what place they came in.
eg.

2011
November

1st place - Billy Everyteen
(pic of the entry)

2nd Place - Sarah Parker

-Reserved for new contests-
This post will say when there's a new contest... or the first post will, depends if I'm lazy enough to not move the other posts down one so this can be closer to the top.

This post will mention when there is a new contest, and to enter, you need to send me a PM saying who you want to use as a base.
and in order to enter, you need to produce 3 things:
1 - A battle model
2 - A field model (any style)
3 - A reference you used.

Based on how popular this becomes, we may have bimonthly events, and if those are successful, we may turn it into monthly events.

Tifa looks a little like Aya Brea with that costume.

need to use existing ff7 resources? or custom work as well? :P
Title: Re: Forum Redesign thread (image heavy thread)
Post by: Kuroda Masahiro on 2011-05-24 06:48:51
Custom or spliced is allowed, it just has to be a redesign, rather than just upgraded model.

@kuroda masahiro :  is it just me, or you don't like girls showing skin in your models ? :P
Other than that, excellent work.
Title: Re: Forum Redesign thread (image heavy thread)
Post by: Kuroda Masahiro on 2011-05-24 18:39:53
...I AM a girl you know.

And in case you didn't notice, i did show some skin in the Tifa and Celestia model.

Celestia however looks plain without the mask, and Tifa has some leg showing.

Just because they aren't running around nude doesn't mean they can't be female.

and, Tifa for instance, in her normal clothes, she'd freeze to death in a matter of seconds in the north.

And this thread isn't just for my work.

No.

Even if a nude redesign is submitted, it won't be added to the appropriate post.

Feel free to make your own private one if you so wish.

That's what I thought, thanks for the confirmation :)

Thanks for the information. As you guessed, I thought that all people with clothes were men... I'm glad I'm finally enlightened. This was a nightmare : I thought I was the only heterosexual living in a gay world, and that girls only lived inside the internet, up until now... ...Thank you : now I can finally go outside and look for a girlfriend.

Oh right ! Never thought about that, either. I'll quickly have to put your Tifa model in my game, so she can finally feel comfortable. As an heterosexual male, I liked the eye-candy her original model procured - but I gotta think about her well-being first.

*now with sarcasm finally turned off* Yeesh, you shouldn't be so defensive. My original comment wasn't a critique at all, you know. I may like my fan-service, but I can still appreciate nice 3D models. And yours are. But now I know that you won't create the sexy costume I wanted Tifa to wear (and it's perfectly fine) ;)

I'd participate in the thread, but I know nilch about 3D model-creation :( But I'm interested, so when my project is complete, perhaps I'll learn how to create models. Expect a lot of naked girls !   8) (j/k... ...or maybe not : I'm with you on this, Witness ;D)

Could we get some nude redesigns?  Because Nude Raider needs can't be the only pixelated obsenity in the modding universe.

Why would you want to play with nude models in Final Fantasy VII -_________-?

That is exactly what I thought.

Nude designs on a forum where everyone is welcome. EVERYONE including the younger population.

What is the matter with you Jenova's Witness? Honestly.

As for the OP, I like these designs. They're interesting in a good way  :)

Hey, why so serious ? I'm sure Witness was just kidding, you guys need to relax. And in the case he wasn't, he never said that he wanted such a thread to be created on qhimm, and in the public section of all places. Just chill, people. I can't possibly be the only person who detected the humorous tone of his post (especially since it was made in reaction to Kuroda's vibrant post, where she basically said she is far from interested in undressing her girls - so his comment actually made me chuckle). You jump at his throat as if he had posted a pr0n pic or something.

Jenova's Witness joked about creating Nude Fantasy VII !!... ...The nerve !... ...Crush his balls ! Slice his penis ! Then burn the sicko at the stake !!!

Lets just move the conversion back on topic. Let's have no more talk of nude patches or anything of the sort. (and dont reply to this post about it).

As to the topic. Kuroda, perhaps you'd like to delineate a particular timeframe and we can get some word out. Links to various kimera tutorials would probably help those who arent too 3d inclined. I'll see if any particular price could be set up (sorry guys, don't count on cash :P)

Should there not be some sort of rules to the contest?


As for prizes I will offer up a custom title to the winner, to be put to a vote.
Title: Re: Forum Redesign thread (image heavy thread)
Post by: Kuroda Masahiro on 2011-05-26 05:24:40
@sl1982, There is no contest as of yet, thats why I didn't say any finer details regarding it.
But, regarding what you asked...

Any model is acceptable just as long as it matches the criteria of the contest and that you made it yourself by either splicing default FF7 models or making it from scratch.
They can be textured, they can be vertex coloured, they can even be completely one colour if you so wish.
Note, you cannot enter a model that you already submitted previously for a contest, or to the gallery.

The contest will last for 2 weeks for anyone to submit their entry to me by PM, DO NOT post a reply with your entry.
By the end of the two weeks, judging will officially begin and will last for several days and will be judged by a select group of people not affiliated with Qhimm to reduce personal bias.
Once Judging is complete, I will update the contest announcement post and post a reply to the thread saying who won the contest and what place they came in.

I will keep a personal record of any and all entries submitted for each contest, but only the first 3 places will be officially recorded in the Hall of Fame.

@Timu, I never really considered posting a Kimera tutorial, but here's a basic splicing tutorial I did previously for a student of mine.

@armourvil, I knew JW was joking, however, even as a jest, asking for such things is disgusting, violates forum rules, and had it any trace of genuine personal desire,  then I'd be rather inclined to block JW from my sight on Qhimm. While he'd still be there, I'd be quite happily oblivious, as no post or thread he made would show up for me.
There are some things you don't even joke about.

I think it would be best if the contest was judged by members of Qhimm.
Title: Re: Forum Redesign thread (image heavy thread)
Post by: Timu Sumisu on 2011-05-26 14:21:13
I think its fine to judge by qhimm members, but perhaps do not label the artists names, simply provide the pictures and titles on the poll.
Title: Re: Forum Redesign thread (image heavy thread)
Post by: Kuroda Masahiro on 2011-05-26 14:46:14
All entries will be submitted to me directly via PM, so I suppose I can make a thread here for each contest without any names.

However, based on the style of it, I believe it would be feasible to have 'rounds' based on how popular the contests end up being.

Such as randomly grouping sets of 15 into different threads, and whichever 3 from each thread get the most votes, we keep track of them and from all of the initial winners, move onto the next round, but more than likely...

I foresee about... 12+ people actually entering.

So for now, just a single thread would suffice if the judging is done by Qhimm.

However, I still believe that personal bias, friendships and feuds could affect it, because some the overall quality of the entry could make it more obvious as for who the entry belongs to, such as if its a higher quality custom made model, only a handful of people on qhimm know how to use modelling software well enough to make such an entry.

Even if we reduce the possibility for it, there is still a possibility the polls could be subject to favouritism, and I would prefer a panel of judges from a third party FF7 modding site do the actual judging under a set of conditions they're judging for.

Ie, an entry that best depicts the theme of the contest and has the best redesign choice coupled with the best model/texture quality, if textures are used.

The theme for this contest right now is...

'Medieval'.

I'll make a new thread giving the details, when the contest begins and everything else, as well as an example of what I mean by Medieval.

Post by: Kuroda Masahiro on 2011-05-29 10:02:24
There aren't any downloads up yet.

I'm wanting SOME other people's work up before enforcing the download link being mandatory rule.

just so you know, every now and again I update the other posts.

I added civilian cloud V2 and leviathan for instance.
