General Discussion / Re: The Tonberry

« on: 2015-09-06 17:40:58 »

Thanks for your replies!

- Indeed, even with less triangles, it's too hard to switch the models (Because of UV mapping/Bones rig) etc.
- I'm working on a FF8 scene where you use to see Tonberries... (So you'll see other points of view)
- It's easy to make the lantern smaller (With Blender just need to select the object and do CTRL+S to scale down (or up) the object). I used different references and I like the way it is... If a lot of people tell me the same I might change it

I don't know how tall is a Tonberry, mine is 71 cm (2.33 feet)
He's rigged (I can animate him).

I think I'll keep on doing monsters!

General Discussion / The Tonberry

« on: 2015-09-06 14:22:44 »

Hello!

I wanted to post the whole scene instead of just the monster alone, but it will take more time to finish the whole scene. (From FF VIII). So I decided to show you what I've done!

Hope you'll like it.


Some informations:
79,782 triangles
Tonberry texture = 2k
Knife and lantern texture = 1k

I don't know if you could switch my tomberry with the original in FF8, anyway that's what I'm thinking when I think about a FF8 remake! SQUARE please hire me XD

General Discussion / FF VIII Remake could look like this

« on: 2015-08-25 10:30:12 »

Hello!

I didn't post anything for a while... ! I've been busy with different projects, I recently replayed FF8 (I'm stuck on CD2, the FMV freeze  I'll try to buy another FF8 psx) well well well... And I wanted to do something about FF VIII. One of my favorite monster is the Funguar (Called Fungus in the french version). I hope you'll like what I've done 

I know people from qhimm are working hard on different FF project, I saw what you've done (HD textures, etc.) and it's amazing!

Graphical / Re: FF8 interior car [Scene Remake]

« on: 2013-08-01 20:03:43 »

Thanks for your kind messages.

I did a scene of the Train, in the very begining, before going to Timber.
I'll do the next scenes of the Train later.
I try to be as close as possible to the original work, but it's hard to reproduce things we cannot clearly see (some little details).

I can do the "States" I don't know if it's the same translation, I got Deling 0.7b and it's in french, well States=états. When the door is open/etc.

But I firstly I need to know if the camera angle are good too, I don't know if it must be the same, or if it's close but not perfect it'll work. There's also the walkmeshes to do, so It'll be okay with the walkmeshes (which I cannot do)



Original size : http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/701184bvtr107CurtFF8Train2.png
Link 2 (there's nothing outside the window, as the original images, it's a sort of scrolling images behind the "motionless" image with an alpha channel)
http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/921100bvtr107CurtFF8Train.png

If you have any suggestion, don't hesitate.

[EDITED]
I changed some little things on the train's scene, I think it's better :

Do other people are working on a FF8 full HD? Because actually I saw almost nothing except from Magochocobo and I.

Hi,

I did this, and I confess I really dislike it, it's not bad at all, but it's just someone who reproduce a great work. I don't even know if it'll be cool to do a remake in HD of FF8, because it'll loose his charm.

Anyway I did it, tell me your point of view :

Woah... :/ But I understand...

I don't have FF7... I have 2 FF8, PSX and PC, but no FF7...

Well, I'll try to do some scene on FF8, I downloaded Deling.exe, I extract some scenes, and I'll try to reproduce it...
I'm just wondering how to save my finale image... Because in the real FF8, there's a lot of different size, and I'm very surprise to see how the images are smaaaaaaaaal ! I know why it looks horrible on a modern TV ^^'

Yeah I could try, I hope my skills are okay to reproduce as close as possible the FF7 scenes, with the technology of nowadays.

Just tell me what scenes to do, and I'll try it 
Send me the original file, like this I won't miss a thing.

Curt, check out the Team Avalanche sub forum. You'll find all the information there.

And there is a good chance you'll be working on it by yourself on a per scene basis, As thats how it is now. But there are others that are doing other scenes as well.

Your work is beautiful and i'd love to see it in game

Ok, it should be cool, I got a lot of time, but people have to tell me what scenes to do?
I never had a FF7 (I only played FF7 with the PSP of a friend)
I can do the pictures, but I need to know the size? (1080*720? 1920*1080 FUll HD? or...)
"3D modelling of field scene screens" is it what I'll be doing?
http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=13688.0

I need to know, how Sapphire do that http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii284/Shadow0fIntent/platform2.jpg

He had the original image, than he just tried to do a better copy?

Aali's Custom FF7/FF8 Driver / Re: Aali's driver [v 0.7.11b] Help/Bugs/Suggestions

« on: 2013-07-01 20:00:32 »

MMmm? I see nothing like this, in my settings options.

FF8config.exe :
I got 4 tabs :
- "Current Settings" (I can't do anything, it just display what are my settings)
- "Graphics" Display :
                                  - "Primary Display Drivers" (It's the only option)
                                  - "Renderer" I have the choice between "Direct3D hardware acceleration" or "Software renderer" I tried the both. (The same result)
- Resolution
- Movie resolution
- Performances option

It's the FF8 Configuration V1.00, I tried to play with FF8 Configurator 2.2 but I go the same error...

Aali's Custom FF7/FF8 Driver / Re: Aali's driver [v 0.7.11b] Help/Bugs/Suggestions

« on: 2013-07-01 19:33:12 »

Ok thanks ^^

Well... I searched about my problem. There's almost the same prob here : http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=9692.0 (deifyer's message)

I did everything (Even add the line "load_library = "RaW"")

But when I try to play (if I click on FF8.exe or FF8_Launcher.exe) I got this error message "Failed to load custom driver.".
But! If I remove eax.dll I'm able to play (with FF8.exe and FF8_Launcher.exe), but now, with the installation of RaW.exe I just have the sound, and no music. (and I write the line "load_library = "Raw").

Make sure that you use latest aalis driver, then make sure that ff8_opengl.cfg has this line at the bottom

load_library = "RaW"

I would like to use it, but all the links (for FF8) are dead.

That's why I ask to reupload the latest driver for FF8

Hello,

Sorry but, I wanna know if someone could reupload Aali's driver for FF8.
I don't know what's the latest (I saw ff8_opengl-0.2a.zip) but all the links are dead.

Because I installed RaW.exe but now I don't have sound (because I didn't installed Aali's driver first).
What should I do after having the Aali's driver? Remove RaW.exe, install Aali's driver than install RaW.exe ?

Thanks ^^

For FF7, what do you mean, remake the environments with an HD pictures?
I could try it, if you tell me what kind of place/room/... to do.

But, if I'm the only who do it, it's just toooo much work. (There's what, maybe 300 places and room, or maybe more?)
By the way, the render in V-ray takes to my computer 5 to 10 minute to make a pictures.
That's why I do pictures from this size : 1280*720 (I can do whatever I want, as 1920*1080 but it takes more time for the rendering).
So, if there's only 50 environments to do : 50*10 = 500min = 8hours. Mmmm... It's possible lol but a hard work ^^.

Well, and a little question, I'm curious, this forum is international or there's a massive representation of a country? (80% of US, 5% of french, ...)

Hi!

Well, I'm new here, and I found many good things and people gifted. (To replace file, doing new texture, etc)

I want to share with you, what I do with Sketchup and V-Ray.
I use sketchup for 5-6 years, but V-Ray I just use it for 2 months or something like this. And this plugin is just incredible!

I did 2 rooms (and also 2 tennis court, for the fun), but I will just show you this :



I learn everything on my own. My dream is : create a kind of Final Fantasy, like FF8 (my favorite).
But all alone it's impossible, by the way I cannot animate a human/creature/car... All I can do is doing environments...
Doing these 2 rooms (which is my living), took me... 3-4 days maybe.
There's only 2 things that I didn't do (I was lazzy): The flowers (but I did the vase) and the Dvd's on the second pictures (because it's a detail).

I knew FF7/FF8 used walkmesh, but I didn't know that was called walkmesh till I saw a topic on this forum. Walkmesh it's (in a newbie language) a 2D image (like mine) with a 3D invisible path that indicate to the character where I can and cannot walk, etc. Am I right?
