As soon as Zeeber is finished, I'm going to ask him if we can include it in the BattleField Upscale Mod.

Thank you; I would be honored to have any of my work in a release!
I'm going to check out some of the things you mentioned when I get some more free time. I know for the mesh on the bridge, I just laid it the way it was in the original, but I can center it if you think it would look better that way. I also need to fix the end of the fallen log... it isn't quite right yet.

As for the next project... I figured I would start on the Dollet Comm Tower 1F, unless you suggest otherwise. I look forward to continuing providing artwork as long as someone is enjoying it!

Alright everyone!
I'm mostly finished with all of the updates to the Training Center battlefield, except for some nitpicky fine tuning.



Check it out and let me know if anyone has ideas for changes. Soon, I'm going to move past this project and start on the next one.
Til next time… Enjoy!

Hey again, everyone. Still managed to make some progress over the weekend. The newest additions are the metal bridge, the palm branch, and the massive wall. Honestly, that had me the most worried… but if y'all think it looks good, the rest should be a breeze!
Have a look
(I decided to go with an alternate coloration for that door to more closely match how it looks outside of battle.)

Hello, all. Here's the png copy of my latest edits altogether. I've done the sign on the electric fence, the boulder, the fallen log, and the palm tree trunk. This is also the latest version of my ground, with reduced mirror effect. I'm curious to see if this stuff looks good rendered in the game, as, I actually changed the palm trunk's shape slightly.



Hope y'all like it. I think I'm going to try for the walls next.

Thanks MaKiPL, I got that file working and it totally helps me understand the locations of the textures!

And thank you, FatedCourage! That looks way better! That totally gives me a lot of motivation to continue! I'm excited, guys, I really am.
I've done a lot more work since my first image post. I'm reducing the mirroring, now that I can see it clearly. And I'm doing my best to stick to the original look and feel.
Thanks for the help, friends. Let's continue to push forward

-Zeeber

EDIT: I'm just going to go ahead and drop another small piece of what I've been working on for anyone interested.


It's just the danger sign on the electric fence, but I think it came out pretty well! I'll keep chugging along, but for now I'll leave with a question.
When I get to the objects with transparency (fence, tree branches, bushes, etc.) how exactly does that work? Can I actually alter the entire shape and it will still display properly in-game? If so, that should make things way easier!

Wow! Thanks, MaKiPL!
I can see clearly now where I can smooth things a little bit to reduce the obvious mirroring of the pieces.
This may be because I can't see it properly… but does it really look good? It almost seems to be similar in resolution to the original. Are my eyes just broken? lol

Thanks a ton for loading it in. I'm gonna clean up some of the mirror issues and then move forward.

Hello again. I started messing around with the Training Center battle textures… mainly just the part that appears to be the ground.



If anyone wants to load this in and grab a screenshot of it in-game, I would definitely be appreciative! I'm hoping I did everything properly. Let me know, and I will continue work!

Awesome; thank you Mcindus! I got the file you posted and am ready to get started.
I hate to keep bugging everyone with questions... (I did try and find answers to no avail) but... I see the textures in separate folders. My question is about the files that have the same image, only shaded differently. Maybe these are for certain lighting effects?
If anyone could explain, that would be a tremendous help. Also, if I can be pointed in the direction of a way to view them as they would appear in-game. I know that's specific, but I don't actually own a copy of FF8 on Steam... just on PS3. I'm poor atm, so if there's a way to view them in-game without purchasing a Steam copy, that would be optimal. If not, I'm still going to get started and just hope for the best.

I have a whole collection of battle backgrounds that need to be done!  Would you like a pack to start with?

Try these:
Original Bitmaps To Be Done

Thanks, I will certainly check these out and see what I can do. But first thing's first... what dimensions are these being upscaled to?

Thanks for the quick response, MaKiPL!
I guess the first order of business is to start trying out some of the mods that've already been made. I do hope to find a way to start pulling textures and reinserting them, as I could get to work immediately on updating/repainting backgrounds or textures. I'm sure there are insane amounts of them to be done!

HEY everybody! Please don't let this die. I'm an artist willing to help!
I always end up finding modding forums late in the process and never get a good chance to help out.

Is there a "master thread" where all the projects are being collectively tracked? I'm trying to find a place where I could be of assistance. Please get back with me. I'm willing to work on any textures or background painting.
