UPDATE TIME!

I haven't updated this blog in a while now, because there wasn't much to say or show.
But now there is :D

This is going to be the Hildagarde 3 from FFIX. As you can see, it is still in the works, missing some structure and textures.

Next one is a picture of the VF-25 with some pretexturing, but it still needs alot of work.
In my first papercraft blog post I showed a picture of a VA-3 from Macross, it is still looking like that but that's going to change too. Thanks to Chthonic (he did send me some Macross 3D models) I'm able work on VB-6 Koenig Monster, VF-5000 and X-9 Ghost now. The VF-5000 and the VB-6 are 3D game rip, the X-9 is a high resource 3D model, all three are not suitable for papercrafting. But they will help me to develop papercraft versions.

This is one of my other Final Fantasy projects. Noctis and Stella from Final Fantasy Versus XIII. They are in development and the textures are currently just taken from published Square-Enix screenshots. The Noctis 3D model is mostly done and the UVW-Mapping too, he only needs better textures and some tweaking. Stella still needs many work and better textures.

I'm also working on other papercraft projects, but I won't tell you about it, only small information will be published by now.

The FF8/FF9 3D tools are still in development, I haven't cancelled them, I just didn't have the time working on them.

Time for a little projectlist now

• Final Fantasy IX Hildagarde 3 (3D model)
  
• Fushigi no umi no Nadia Nautilus 1 (3D model)
  
• Macross F VF-25 Messiah (Texturing)
  
• Macross VA-3 (Texturing)
• Macross VF-5000 (3D modelling)
• Macross VB-6 (3D modelling)
• Macross X-9 (3D modelling)
• Final Fantasy Versus XIII Noctis & Stella (Texturing, 3D modelling)
  
• Final Fantasy VII Project (Planning)
  
• Final Fantasy VIII Project (Planning)
  
• Fushigi no umi no Nadia Project (Planning)
• FF8/FF9 3D tools (63 6F 64 69 6E 67)

Well ... that's all for now. If you have any questions just ask me. You will get your answers in seconds or days ...

Papercraft and nice little tools

Hello!
Currently I'm working on several projects at once. Let me introduce them to you.

Papercraft:

Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner - Jehuty

This papercraft still needs some 3D modelling, UVW maps and textures.

Macross 7 - VF-17D "Teal"

3D modelling for this one is done. I just need to do the UVW mapping and the textures.

Macross M3 - VF-14 Vampire

This one still needs some tweaking and 3D modelling before it comes to UVW mapping and texturing.

Macross VF-X II - VA-3 Invader

3D modelling is finished, only UVW mapping and texturing is needed to start actual developing.

This is it for the papercrafting. All those models above need unfolding development, testbuilding and readable instructions after texturing before I'm able to publish them.

Tools:

FF9 Extractor

The FF9 Extractor is able to extract files from the FF9.IMG found on the FF9(PSX) disk. It is also able to extract data from Databasefile found within the FF9.IMG. This thing is still buggy and sometimes hangs up when extracting data from databasfiles (DB0 for those who know what I mean).

FF8/FF9 Multiconverter

Well, this is what the multiconverter will look like if I don't fuck things up. This thing is currently only able to differ between FF8, FF9 and non FF8/9 files. I'm coding object-orientated so that this thing will get an update via units (like plugins) . I test the units with another "dummy-tool", to see if stuff works correctly as planed. I don't know how to implement the 3D Preview, but will think of something when the time comes.
The Multiconverter will be able to:

-read FF8(PC) and FF9(PSX) 3D models
-convert FF8 and FF9 3D models to 3DS and OBJ

All this is only possible with the help of the Qhimm Forums. They did most of the groundbreaking discoverings about Final Fantasy file formats and how the stuff work. Everything I'm going to develop has its roots from thier investigations.


Everything announced here has the release date "When it's done" :D
