Having seen the new FFNx lighting feature, I don't think manual color corrections should be given up entirely. Neither method stands out as definitive to my eyes. There's an obvious argument for enjoying the game as the developers intended with the NTSC-J gamut, but the manual work alongside the default-colored models looks great as well.

Yeah, once I get back to the mod again during the Winter, I will check with the new color engine thing against what I did already and see where I can tweak colors or not, but yeah the idea is to end up replacing all the battle stages with newer models and at some point just replace all my color corrections :D

Stay tuned for the new update, Winter is coming ...

Hello and sorry about the late reply @Z0tikos and I completely missed this post in time, for faster replies you can just ping me on qhimm discord under FF7 > #axlrose-mods channel, I used KimeraCS by Lazaro, add the texture first, then inside the P editor select what texture to use.

Plus tons of the issues you are having I went through them with tons of help from Lazaro and others and is all in the chat history, with screenshots.

To fix the 3D meshes hmmm combination of KimeraCS and 3DS Max 2022, and to tell you the truth on the few scenes that I managed to line up correctly in game, I had to use my own version of the original textures that I upscaled myself, then on 3DS I aligned them correctly and re-rendered my new textures while modifying them in Photoshop and then exported again to .3DS then re-import back into KimeraCS, was a tedious job, only did for about 3 or 4 battle scenes this way, I still have to get to the rest and continue work on this mod, but I took a few months off to get some real life stuff done and take a break, I will continue with the rest once summer is over, but again you can find most of how I did it and figured out with help from others on that chat channel.

[AxlRose] - Pencil Drawing Avatars



  • Hello guys, this mod replaces the character avatars, with a color pencil drawing version of the Remake ones.
  • I am trying to hit for something as close as the original 1997 game, while using the newer Remake/Movie renders.
  • Two versions in one, more like 4 versions or sets:

    • White backgrounds (for standard aspect ratio)
    • Transparent backgrounds (for standard aspect ratio)
    • White backgrounds (for widescreen aspect ratio)
    • Transparent backgrounds (for widescreen aspect ratio)

This mod will be available for Download from the MOTR Catalog for 7th Heaven 2.0

Bonkers, give it try:

[4x Upscale] - Project Edge Fields.iro

Images on that mod (4x Upscale) are 1K instead of 4K from the originals Jusete release, even on a 4K TV playing at 4K resolution can barely tell the difference, you have to put your face on the screen to see the pixels ... and not safe to play so close to the screen  8)

Hello @Jusete I created a Mod out of your mod, where I resized all the images to be 1K resolution, I need your permission to add it to the Catalog please.

I love your mod and can't play the game without it, but drives me nuts that the game crashes every 10 minutes because the resolution of the images are too big.

I also see other people in Discord complaining that their game keeps on crashing. I hear recommendations given to them to disable your beautiful mod, which in my opinion, should be a sin to disable ...

I took it unto myself to resize the textures just for me to use. So my game stops crashing so frequently and randomly, but many of the guys there at Discord, ask me for it and they said they have tried without luck to resize it in the past. Is not that hard with Photoshop, the game still looks beautiful at 1024 x 1024, even on a 4K TV at 4K resolution. Please allow us it at Discord and let Tsunamix, unabOmb, strife98 or me know if is OK or not to use your mod with the the resized textures.

I gave you all the credit, is your work and is a masterpiece. I just used Photoshop to resize it a bit.

Thank you!! and we wait to hear back from you!
