Title: ATTENTION MODELLERS
Post by: DLPB_ on 2012-08-23 20:34:23
edited.

In my time here at Qhimm's, I have noticed one major problem that is not being addressed(?).  That is, we have a number of NPC models that have not been done.

Since the PRP disbanded, no one has really taken up the challenge to finish what they started.  We have had a few decent contributors since then, like Dahfa, but 'few' is the operative word here.

I don't mean to sound rude, but I am personally getting fed up of seeing Sephiroth, Cloud, Barrett and Tifa models.   I understand that they are popular, and that people mod for their own pleasure as well as everyone else's and I am grateful for that.  I also understand that what a person chooses to mod is their business.

But, that doesn't change the fact that we have a serious shortage of models where it really matters.  So I ask the modellers around here to at least make an effort to help out finishing the NPC models.  If everyone did a small part, it wouldn't take long before we had a full, finished project.

I don't know how much work is being done outside this forum, so if this is already being tackled, then cool.  I just wanted to bring to this to people's attention.  Also, hopefully Pitbrat or Grimmy can be kind enough to list those NPC which are currently in need of work.

I'm seeing plenty of Cloud and Barret models but beside Grimmy's Tifa model, I haven't seen any others but the ripped Kula one. Care to point me to all these versions I don't know? ( and I don't see them in Bootleg either. )

It isn't that there are so many being made, it is that they are the ONLY ones being made.  No one comes along with a much needed NPC that isn't done.  It's the same models every time, that we have numerous iterations of.

Especially Barrett, if you look at the UMI

This isn't aimed at people who can't model :P  Nor can I.

it would benefit your purpose greatly if you would make a list of the models needed. seeing a list actually encourages people to pick one instead of then doing resaearch of what they could pick.

I havent seen Grimmy's Tifa and Yuffie model in action because bootleg39bugs but I sure won't mind an apz cloud level version of each playable character.

I was not being sarcastic.  I genuinely thought you cannot model at all.

I've seen some development on Vincent from Timu.
Also on Cid by Felix.

Dunno where they're at or if they plan to finish it.

Do you mind if I keep on going with the backgrounds...?  ???

Allso as part of that I might need some ordinary walking/standing/sitting people to inhabit Midgar, unless nobody minds having only the basic crew running around there....

But I think that would be weird, as the team Avalanche is supposed to be somewhat hidden, instead of everyone pretending as a look alike.....that would be a really psychotic Midgar, I think

I've been working on the Vincent model for some time. Blender is being a bit difficult and I'm trying to experiment a bit with 3ds max and maya so bare with me. Hopefully in a months time I will be done with fully modelling it and then I'll be moving on to texturing, in which I would appreciate any help given. :P

I am really bad making 3d models but I can help making textures for the main characters or a similar work :)
Title: Re: ATTENTION MODELLERS
Post by: DLPB_ on 2012-08-24 10:06:47
I am pretty sure he didn't Obesebear, because I'm sure I asked Pitbrat recently about if they were all done.  What we need most is a list of NPC that are either not done, or need reworking somewhat.

weeemus is back, as seen on his recent thread.

It says that he will cover all the main characters ^^
I actually prefer his cloud mod over the others because it actually blends in with the fmv.

This thread is about MISSING NPC MODELS.  The first message is my annoyance that they are not being done in favour of the main models. 

The whole point of this thread is to ask modellers to do models that have not been done and vent my frustration at the exact thing you have just linked to.

Pitbrat worked on the UMI doing all the sorting, he will know precisely which NPC and models are not yet done and which PRP did not do originally (a lot seem to have been done since then by others).

Any help with the models that haven't been done is welcome.  I am just waiting now for PitBrat :)  It is a tough, annoying job he has.

I apologise for my outburst, didn't notice that is what you were getting at.  8)

You know what... If I had the time I'd totally do just that. BUT! My own projects and my own art calls my name. I merely vent my fan enthusiasm for Final Fantasy so that it may not leave an overt imprint over my own creative process. (Classic Doom, FFVII, ALL of Zelda, Soul Reaver, Fight Club... they all call my name and must be exorcized from time to time)

As an artist first and everything else second (I mean work output wise  ;) Husband and Father come first) I'll just let yall know that the bulk of my true creative efforts haven't been introduced to the internet at large, and won't until I can garner the time and resources to fulfill them as they should be.

I take no large measure of importance for myself here, even though I storm in and out like a diva screaming for attention... (Let's face it... I'm a polite attention hog)

But more on topic. I appreciate all you've done and led in this community DLPB, and everyone else. I'd love to do the NPC's but there's just only so much one person can do. My own interests obviously are the reasons why I focus where I do... PERHAPS soon I can provide a simple base mesh that can be manipulated at will to suit the purposes of the people on this board. Also included UV's and a simple texture map applied to it that hopefully can be used modularly.

But just like your insistence on complete rational informed translation, I insist on the creators original intention completely fulfilled as well when it comes to chibi field/world models. That's the way the game was intended and designed. That's the way I like to see it. Ergo, that's the one I'll help provide bases for.

This isn't a promise however... It's just my fascination of this place hasn't died down yet, even though I still have too much on my plate before I can contribute to it again.

So far I found this 2 Models are only retextured but not remodeld:

CIAC (Man 14)
EDEA (Onna)

many other models are incorect, like the 7 year old Tifa (BUAC), having big boobs (is this expression correct?), I mean show me a 7 year old with developed boobs...

hahaha and ha.
Oh god I'm terrible today.

If that is true, then someone needs to sort that younger Tifa model out.

like I said you find this Model at BUAC.hrc....
I made a screenshot:

from this Link https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AniNoDVsrYhVdG0zZERUT0tsOF91eHE2WHo4ZWRseWc&gid=4 (https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AniNoDVsrYhVdG0zZERUT0tsOF91eHE2WHo4ZWRseWc&gid=4), I know that she is 7 Years old, also in the original Model, made by ???Sqaresoft/Enex??? she has Boobs, but I don't have a screenie for this...

Edit:
I looked, where I have this exact model, it's from here:

I couldn't find some Tifa-Model by Dahfa, in the great List of finished models...

I made yet a Screenie of the original Model:

FBGE.hrc  Catcy (http://kingsanimeboard.de/images/FBGE%20-%20catcy%20-%20Cait%20Sith.jpg) (is this one for of Cait Sith?)
FQJB.hrc  Dyne (http://kingsanimeboard.de/images/FQJB%20-%20Dyne.jpg), (Model with both hands intact)
FWAE.hrc  Esto (http://kingsanimeboard.de/images/FWAE%20-%20Esto.jpg), could only find the original Model
GABE.hrc  Wizard (http://kingsanimeboard.de/images/GABE%20-%20Wizard%20-%20Mouth%20and%20Beard%20looking%20freekie.jpg), what is this, with the crazy looking mouth and beard?
GAJC.hrc  Dio (http://kingsanimeboard.de/images/GAJC%20-%20Dio%20-%20missing%20body-part%20and%20what%20is%20on%20his%20back.jpg), the Body is missing (no I didn't forget anything), and what is this on his back? (it's not so in the original Model)
GHGF.hrc  Mech (http://kingsanimeboard.de/images/GHGF%20-%20Mech%20-%20edge%20wheels.jpg), edgy wheels
GJEB.hrc  Minigame Motorbike (http://kingsanimeboard.de/images/GJEB%20-%20Minigame%20Motorbike%20-%20edge%20wheels.jpg), edgy wheels
GNGB.hrc  Mogri (http://kingsanimeboard.de/images/GNGB%20-%20Mogri%20-%20without%20eyes.jpg), where are his eyes? the other ones have all their eyes.

this List isn't complete, and maybe some of them are finished yet...
(hope you can understand my bad English, and I also hope that the expression "edge" or "edgy" is correct, when not, I think you see what I mean, when you look into the images.)

EDIT: I don't know if it even possible: one animation of Barret is a total falure, he give Cloud his payment with his right "hand", but Barret has no right hand, instead there he has his havy Machine-Gun (artificial Arm), so how could he 1st hold the money, 2nd drop the money to Cloud... I think if it is possible, someone should change this Animation from his right to hils left hand

All the models are in Unified Model Installer.  But I will upload our nice little set up of all the files in 1 archive for you.  They are all separated nice and neat and by modellers name.

I will do it when I get back later.

EDIT: Why don't you change your Program "Unified Model Installer", so that the user can choose, if they want to install the Models in to the LPGs, or into the "direct"-folder?

alright in the mean time ill start on my cloud model jk id actually like to see models and/or textures done for summons and enemies

edit i like the cell shaded cloud that was posted by slayersnext in his thread. i think itd be cool to see more of the game like this. to give it a dragon quest or even a borderlands feel. (i know borderlands isnt cell shaded but its the closest way i know to describe it.)

once a list is out or if you can name one that isnt done ill start on it and see if it meets approval
