Hi guys!
After a long time learning about 3d editing/design I have decided to start a project to remake all the field backgrounds in game. Project Edge is a completely remake of the field backgrounds, trying to be as faithful as possible to the original backgrounds but bringing my own personal touch and "easter eggs".

As the time of rendering and load of work on my computer is too much, I started to use a rendering farm service to have the renders in less time. As obvious, they are charging me some money for the service and unfortunately I can´t afford that so I´ve opened an account to top-up the service when needed. If you can contribute to the project any donation will be appreciate. Special thanks to Shampignon and Grimmy for their help importing the backgrounds to the game and to all the members who contribute to the project with their donations. Thanks for your support!

They look fantastic!

One thing to add: Crank up anti aliasing so you don't have discrepancy like the edges of the holes in the gold saucer also I would add ambient occlusion as much as possible to ground things like the middle podium in the 2nd pic.

Yeah, second one is still wip and I have to do all the effects and I will fix the edges of the holes at the gold saucer entrances as well. Thanks for the tips xD

I really like the third one. It looks really good. I'm glad someone else has started remaking the fields. Keep up the great work.

And here is one of the middle floors:

The firs and the last ones are a bit different and I have to do some changes but will be done for the next week.

Hi, try to work a bit with a dirt for your textures, it smeared a little your texture. Then the ground and stone effect lack of relief, I would add a Normal Bump. Otherwise exellent work. I would like to recover time to work

jusete · « **Reply #8 on:** 2017-09-04 08:03:22 »

I did that dirt effect because I don't like to have the background too new and shiny and I think that with that effect is more accurate to the original one. About the the stone and wood floor effect, think that this is a low quality render so for the release we will have more bump effect.

Good job Jusete.

Salk · « **Reply #10 on:** 2017-09-08 06:30:32 »

jusete and jmp434 should work together!

Only great things would come out of it and the amount of work is enormous!

DLPB_ · « **Reply #11 on:** 2017-09-09 06:41:59 »

This kind of talent with graphics is way beyond me. I'm absolutely atrocious at it.

Love it!

So something I can't ever unsee when I play, some of the game's field scenes seem to have originally been intended to be smaller. Like Aerith's house, with it's enormous furniture. Any intentions of correcting the giant chairs and really tall counters? lol

Must say your art is quite simply stunning. Jmp434's art and team avalanche's art looks amazing too. Very refreshing to look at.

luksy · « **Reply #15 on:** 2017-09-13 05:57:44 »

Amazing work! If you'd accept a tiny bit of criticism, it looks like you hand-drew the pagoda floor numerals (壱、弐、参、四、伍) but they don't look authentic, have you considered using a semi-cursive font instead?

jusete · « **Reply #16 on:** 2017-09-13 11:14:22 »

Yes! I couldn't find the translation and I did it by myself. I'll replace for that ones. Thanks buddy

Salk · « **Reply #17 on:** 2017-09-14 04:03:04 »

Excellent work, jusete!

I know I said it before but please consider working with Jmp434, side by side. I am sure you two together could produce wonders and eventually release a complete modification together!

Keep it up!

jusete · « **Reply #18 on:** 2017-09-16 17:16:00 »

Fields updated with the new kanjis. Thanks luksy xD

Tsuna · « **Reply #19 on:** 2017-09-16 18:16:36 »

These fields are amazing. If you make a tutorial i'll help build you a team

WIP holu_2

Tsuna · « **Reply #21 on:** 2017-09-20 01:37:52 »

That scene is beautiful. But i'm not sure if it's too much on the eyes. It pops too much. Can we see it with a character on it?

Not to put you down its amazing regardless

jasmer · « **Reply #22 on:** 2017-09-20 02:46:10 »

I think it looks great. Should go nicely with the higher detail textured character mods some people like.

The only part I am not so fond of is the bottles.

YES, I took that models only to have a global look. Anyways it's not finished, I have to put the carpets and set up the lights properly xD. I'll do a screen cap in game when I finish
