Title: HD vincent project!
Post by: kicker on 2011-08-26 19:58:10
Hi all :) I decided to start modifying the Vincent battle model since no one else has made a model. It will take me sometime to modify his limits too...For now i would like to ask a couple of questions about how i should create him.. Should i base my model to the Dirge of Cerberus Vincent or keep it good and simple like in ff7 original??Furthermore, i know in a way how i will modify galiant's beast and chaos but the problem is with his other two transformations. What do i do with them ??? :S :S :S If someone else is interest in helping me make this happen to hesitate to say it :P I'm fairly new and all help will be appreciated :)

Do as you wish, as it's you who does this. DoC can be ripped, but if you do so, you won't be able to put it here. You will have to model it from scratch.

I'd say keep it as close to the original as possible.

i am not going to rip the model since it's prohibited :S Could i rip it and just compare the differences though? i'll make mine from scratch in comparison with the other always

You can. But it's buggy. It's somewhere on xentax.

Hmm. yes i tried looking for his ripped model but couldn't really find him. Most links i found were dead some other were with a vincent model for League of Legends. I did find though a link for vincent which was in pk3 format. Is this the one from Jedi academy?? I can't open it with blender and Biturn doesn't seem to recognize it and i can't convert it. The folder has 3 files Cerberus.pk3 Vincent_animations.pk3, Vincent_Valentine.pk3. Any ideas if this is the correct?? I'll try to look again in the web to find something that might be able to convert these into 3ds.

First,  DoC can't be ripped.  Guys are working on it at Xentax, but it still hasn't happened.  2nd, the .pk3 one you found is indeed the Jedi Academy model.   It's pretty good, but truth be told is not all that great either.  3rd, if you search deviantart you can find a picture where someone drew Hellmasker in a more DoC themed way (I also posted that picture on here somewhere...maybe in the Vincent model thread..) And I'm sure you can find an updated ....frankenstein...picture as well.


Personally I'd say go with DoC style...I just like it more.   Either way, good luck.

.pk3 is an archive format that opens with winzip/winrar/7zip etc, the models will be in .md3 format for which you'll need some Quake 3 engine model exporters/importers
Title: Re: HD vincent project!
Post by: Kίпg ̵яµ on 2011-08-28 01:57:12
.pk3 can also be opened with a program called Pakscape. You can easily download it

First off, i shall expose that Vincent is by far my favourite char in all Final Fantasys, I usually don't understand why no model was made for this char (and released) so far, so this put, I'd say, go with DoC models. They are far more interesting and beautiful. I mean...

The in between limit breaks, you can just update the style keeping the original concept (dead gigas and the chainsaw thing) although i really never understood the concept behind those two..

I think theres some info about Vincent concept arts and such in another thread, can't find it tho.
Title: Re: HD vincent project!
Post by: kicker on 2011-08-28 02:17:03
yes i read that they try to do so. that's why i couldn't find it. i have found already the artwork and i'm working based on those.Thnx for the info. I will download that program. if pk3 though could be opened with a winrar i could have done so already. It is showed as unrecognized format. Anyway. I've seen a couple of stuff avout the Quake 3 engine models exporters/importers and i'll try to get familiar with those too. You never know when they'll be needed. For deathgigas and hellmasker i'll try to base them on the frankestein monster and on the texas chainsaw massacre! i mean they are almost exactly alike!!And also i was looking into the qhimm forum about vincent model and some1 had modelled it. But there were some difficulties regarding it's size or model or something. I'll try to find again that person and contact it about onformation for the model. Vince is my fav char in all final fantasies also :P second is Noctis..

Yup it is really helpful. I got a lot of info from that site for the weapon models of vincent. But i won't do any work on his weapons just yet. Maybe someone else would be interested to do them though.
Title: Re: HD vincent project!
Post by: Vgr on 2011-08-28 15:12:24
FeliX Leonhart already started doing them.

Post by: FeliX Leonhart on 2011-08-28 15:49:44
Hmmmm, bad thing that the weapons look kinda old fashioned (especially with the wooden parts).


FeliX Leonhart already started doing them.


I don't have time for Vincent weapons now, but it's possible that I'll remodel them near winter (next exams :P)



Title: Re: HD vincent project!
Post by: kicker on 2011-08-28 15:58:30
Felix i think i have seen the weapons that you made and i would like to make a suggestion to you. Why don't you try to modify some them and make them look like the weapons that vincent has on DoC????Just a suggestion only :P

Obs i liked those 2 pictures u sent :P When i start on his limits who knows!maybe i'll make them that way :P I want to say something else too. Just so that everybody knows, i'm knew at modelling and i'm not quite sure if i'll manage to pull this off. So bear with me and if anyone could drop me a tip or too about modeling, don't hesitate :P Furthermore someone should try importing the nokia ringtone replacing the ringing of the PHS xD

hmmm. Can you give it to me???? I'll try to learn how to texture and then texture it. Maybe use it to understand how modeling works too so that i can make more myself. Say if u can Timu :) :) Did u make that with blender also???
Title: Re: HD vincent project!
Post by: Dark Matt on 2011-09-02 21:18:23
It was made with Blender, it would be awesome for this model to be textured and released, it looks very good  :-o
Title: Re: HD vincent project!
Post by: JordieBo on 2011-09-02 21:54:10
I'm currently learning a bit about texturing, so if you need any help just gimme a shout and I'll give it a go.

However, If I'm terrible then you can tell me where to stick it! :)
Title: Re: HD vincent project!
Post by: kicker on 2011-09-02 22:06:59
i'm not quite sure.. I would prefer it to be more DoC like. My major question about this is...can we create the models with their skeletons from scratch so that we can add whatever we like to the model or not?? I mean add more hair and change the waist, the left hand, the legs, the boots etc etc. As far as i remember if it isn't according to the original skeleton it can't be done. But what if we create our own skeleton??
Title: Re: HD vincent project!
Post by: Timu Sumisu on 2011-09-03 05:07:30
its technically possible.... you dont want to do it though. As to my model... this one was actually made in maya. It'll be a few days (a week or so) before i get access to it, its stashed on my workstation, which is in storage during renovations.

I'd try n stick with the original style for texturing my mesh, as thats what it was modeled on, and to mix the DoC texturing with the ff7 style would... look odd :P. That and I really don't like dirge of cerberus - The whole "lets add spikes to everyone for teh lulz" didnt work for me.
Title: Re: HD vincent project!
Post by: kicker on 2011-09-03 11:37:21
heheh...no i didn't like that either on DoC. I mean if i could change the cloak a little bit. Make it rotten style  :evil:muahahahhahah :evil: . maye add the weapon holder on his leg. His hair just a tiny little bit. Add something to his waist so it doesn't look so odd.. or maybe low it down a little. Vince  nt's pants remind me of those that my grandpa used to wear...from belly to toes :P . His golden gloves and boots and that's all. Are they a lot?? Regardless. When you gain access to it Timy send it to me. It will help me out a lot. Blender can read it too right??If i'll texture it i think i'll texture it there. Maybe use some photoshop too.

The first of those two pics is a custom model from Jedi Academy but converted to FF7, not sure if it's publicly available or not.

The second pic shows someones work in progress model that as far as I know was never finished as the thread for it died in 2009.

Hehehe. Goodness me-- I remember having an old Nokia.

Vincent may have been in a coffin for nigh on half a decade, but in the FF7 universe it's quite clear his weapons, evident from his flashback in dirge, are fairly modern.  Vincent was also a member of the Turks, giving him access to next generation technology as part of that task force.   So if you think about it... last generation's next generation is this generation's modern standard. (In theory.  Often the weapons he would probably be given would be prototypes of the models available today.) 

However I digress, for it's pointless to make the above point when he is acquiring modern weapons from shops across the land.  Go with the modern weapons is my vote.
