It's supposed to overwrite ALL of Cloud's files. I don't have Vista so I can't really help you there!

Sorry guys! I've been so busy with life I haven't even looked at Cloud in a while, I'll get cracking at all the things I promised soon enough! But I've just been busy, I thank everybody for not getting all upset at me for that! I want to do it, I haven't abandoned it, I'm just a full-time student with a full-time job with a full-time fiance. It's hard to stay focused!

It's cool, you dont have to aplogise!
You have already given us a brand-spanking awesome new Cloud model, we can afford to have a little more patience!  (but just a little)

does this work with the ultimate edition?

Ultima Edition is illegil and is not allowed to be talked about on this forum. End of conversation.

Holy...

Words cannot describe how immaculate this work is.  You are a true genius, Apz.

EDIT:  Well, when I tried to download it, it said "The page cannot be displayed."

Lots of dead links lately... >_<

Really? I guess filefront went belly-up for real this time! Darn... Anybody got any good ideas for another permanent file housing source?

edit:

"Server maintenance is currently underway. Some files may be unavailable during this time. We apologize for the inconvenience."

That's probably why!

[squeeble]

Well I heard filefront actually went into liquidation but you could throw the links up on rapidshare, or megaupload.
Just a suggestion.

[Aurenasek116]

filefront actually went into liquidation

Not at all. It was supposed to be closed by company holding it (Ziff Davis) at 30th of March because of economical crisis, however about 10 hours prior to closing FileFront it was bought from Ziff Davis by it's original owners thus resulting in FileFront not getting closed.
To put it simple: FileFront didn't close, isn't closed now and isn't going to be closed anytime soon.
Stop spreading fake information.

[TLStriker]

Hmm... Maybe.

Filefront still seems to be down though.  What the hell are they doing?  I can't even download Borde's model editor 'cause of this... *sniffle*



EDIT: I'm hungry.  Does anyone have pie?

EDIT2: It's workin' now.  Yay!  Long live APZ!

[Aurenasek116]

Filefront still seems to be down though.  What the hell are they doing?

Not at all, the site works just fine for me. Just some of the files may not work since they are performing regular server maintance. Every hosting company does that every now and then.

[drfeelgud88]

it seems to work now

[apz freak]

Well at least it's working! But!!!

I'm going to replace that model with an updated one, I made a discovery that Cloud's gloves are NOT symmetrical:



There are NO Silver Rivets on the right glove.. and the fingers are a darker grey almost black in comparison to the shiny light grey fingers of the left hand. Wow, Cloud's more detailed than I originally thought! Kudos to Nomura and Square's character design team for crafting such an interesting and seemingly utilitarian outfit. Really, I'm studying character design and it's a deceptively both simple and intricate design. The perfect ratio!

Now, I realize most people wouldn't give a damn! But if you read my long battle with timu sumisu you'd realize my goal was to create a Cloud that's as close to the canonical version (The new canon) as can possibly be! In almost every picture pose and animation the right hand is obscured from view or only seen from the palm side. Naturally I just thought it was the same on both hands. But it's the action figure I bought that made me rethink my over analysis.

I was working on better hair, it's only interesting from some angles but not perfect. I'll use the crisis core hair model to make it look more like this picture:



I know many of you are happy with the hair I made and thats perfectly fine. I will replace the download on the first post of this thread with the updated model, if anybody wants the original (That's still up at the time of this post), shoot me a pm!

p.s.

I also know many of you are screaming silently at me "Finish the other Cloud's you turkey! !@#$%" And other such quiet fury... I'm sorry! I'm compulsive and art school is like art boot camp! I go in for a 4 hours class and by the end of the day I've drawn the same naked person over 30 times! Homework isn't any less time consuming either. I apologize, I know if I were a faithful fan like many of you, I'd want this jerk-off to hurry up as fast as he can! But I'm only human... I WILL do it, it's just a matter of time motivation and procrastination!  I'm sure many of you have had the same problem

Your situation is totally understandable. Few people realize the commitment and time it takes to do well in studio art classes. I went through it getting my BFA and MFA, but now I seem to have less time a teacher. However you should never feel pressured to do the work your passionate about or you will loose that passion. Take your time do it well, and do it your way. The rest of us can wait. ( I still really want the update ) Your work so far makes you one of the elite modders and faithful fans.

Wow! Well thank you quite very much for your understanding and your advice! It's the same advice I give myself of course  , but it's nice to hear it from time to time 

I just have to learn to stop putting more on my plate than I can eat!

I made a pretty good Start Menu using your Buster Sword http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i59/apz_freak/StartScreen.jpg. I've been using it for a couple of months now. Can I release it? If so I'll only include the .tex file with a read me on how to install it. I would like to put it on my vid thread, and call it APZ New Buster Menu or something like that. If you would like to release it on your thread I'll send you the file and read me. Ultimately the choice is yours.

wow it is the apz cloud model on field mode??? can't wait of releasing that! 

[apz freak]

Alright, here's the new hair. I decided to use Koral and MrAdults wonderful programs to break open the Crisis Core and Dissidia models. After hours of analyzing and prying I decided my Cloud's hair isn't close enough. So I spent some time re-thinking his whole head. Now it feels more like Cloud!  It helps to have something 3D to turn around to use as reference. I also decided his lips don't need to be modeled, it doesn't really show up in the game signifigantly to really need it. But I could always put them in later if I need to render him out in all his high detailed glory!



The field model will be the same proportion as the original Sorry!

[proJ3CHT]

looks great!

i beg you to put your buster sword on his back in the complete field model like the NPC reconstructionj style

[knight1120]

wow the new hairstyle is better than the old one, can u post some screenshots later??
