[WIP/REL] Millenia's custom models - CLOUD SWORDS RELEASED 30/4

[Mirenheart]

Oh, something I wanted to mention. I don't know if anyone else has brought this up, but the new Barret battle model has a bit of a problem. When Barret is hit with a status change that would cause him to glow (like berserk, regen, poison, etc) he doesn't glow, only his weapon does. I don't know if it's specifically me, or if it happens to everyone. I don't really mind, but I thought I should mention it to you good people.

[Millenia]

it's because barret has a texture and the weapon doesn't

I think it has to do with him using very dark textures.

I see that you are baking the textures, that is in my opinion almost cheating :p You just generate the textures, the models aren't overly complicated either. But it does look very good

[Millenia]

Eh, I could do the same sh*t by hand as I used to but if it speeds up my process, why NOT use it

I've only used it for a couple of things in this thread anyways. For some things I didn't even bake an AO overlay.

Seriously you need to chill out.  This isn't even remotely the correct thread.  Try searching.  You've been warned, and are now moderated.  Maybe this will give you some time to review the rules.

Wow that's impressive I never knew there was an original AC cloud model.

Also, THANK YOU mill, you are truly a god among men.

[hasterdis]

Hey guys, greetings, how's the work progress? hehe I recommend to finish one character and then other because if you do a part of "vincent" and a part of "cid" (example) you will finish all but there will take much time, my opinion, hehe, thanks for the great work

Heh, i really like this model.
Don't like the outfit/dark look from AC but the face (and body (hint on arms shape)) are really well done.

Cool story, now let's get back on topic

[Nightmarish]

It was actually ontopic as i was comparing Timu/Millenia model to the AC one.
But you're right, let's move on.

[GI-Jimbo]

Hey, I really like all the weapons you have made so far I just really think that the buster sword should have the colors somewhat more like this because its resembles the original. I know its a bad recolor but its just so you get the point.

[BlitzNCS]

There is a modified version floating about, which I used for this, but I'm not sure if it's been released.

[GI-Jimbo]

@NCS
Do you mean an actual modified version for the weapon in game or just the start menu??  If you mean in battle would you be able to help me find it?

[willis936]

Since mill hasn't released it himself I'm going to go on a limb and say you won't find it anywhere here but as long as you don't share it you can modify it yourself.

[GI-Jimbo]

I would love to give it a shot myself but unfortunately I have no idea how to get to the model itself to actually recolor it. When I get to the file from opening the battle lgp what can I do from there?  I'm really sorry i understand this is a basic question but I have never done anything like this before.

[Miseru]

 Those models aren't really colored like standard weapons, but textured so you'll need some skill and/or more advanced graphic program, depending how much you wanna edit it.
 Use program like img2tex to convert "rtad" which is texture file into bmp, edit as you wish then save and convert back to tex file. You'll need to edit it's name and cut .tex which is added after conversion before you put it back to your battle.lgp.

[Millenia]

Quick and dirty update >_>

[hasterdis]

I like that version, is more colored, I like the combination, are you studying graphics design, you are a good designer and fast, keep the work please, hehe

[Miseru]

 Nice one as always, I'm quite subjective through as I would use your weapons in game even if you would replace Sephiroth Masamune with pink teddy bear on the stick.

[GI-Jimbo]

Wow Millenia you rock!... can't wait for a release.  I'm still gonna do what miseru said though so I can see what texturing is all about. I would love to learn.

Not really a tutorial, but shows my workflow.

Nah, completely self taught

This is great! I think the only thing I would change is the materia slots, should be in the centre.
Don't get me wrong, most of the time I love your artistic license, but changing something as iconic as the Buster Sword too much, will make lots of people sad!
