Square Enix has been a source of inspiration for me ever since I was a kid and I started watching your videos (and ended up subscribing) because of these FF7R characters insights, they're fascinating. I've only done illustrations and some personal concept art but I've been trying to look into 3D art and game dev in general so I always get excited when you upload one of these. Also, it was hard not to notice the very familiar architecture in the background the moment the video started 😆 I hope you enjoy your stay here in Lisbon, excited to have you in Portugal!

I love watching videos like this. It's very informative. Instead of gamers talking about their opinions about the game. This is real insight of a game day of breaking down the inner workings of a game.

@BackseatYT 2 года назад

Love all the FFVII Remake breakdowns, but I'd absolutely be down to see any other series too. E.g The varied starting classes for Elden Ring (to get in on that SEO). Either way I'll watch no matter, the mix of Information, Commentary and Trivia / Easter eggs uncovered in these videos are always a treat.

@Outgang 2 года назад

We'll do Sephiroth, then Aerith, then move on to another franchise. I'm honestly super hyped for Elden Ring but I don't know when I'll be able to play it so I may have to skip the SEO piggybacking on this one :(

@SilverWolfDawn 2 года назад

i'm slowly cracking into your videos because i love final fantasy and i love behind the scenes stuff on how games are made, but this is the first video i felt like i mostly Got everything. i know nooooothing about modeling so it's a lot of staring in glassy-eyed fascination as all of these terms fly Right over my head. I liked how you explained things in this one, extremely helpful to see the demonstrations and understand what mipmaps and texels are. I'm absolutely w i l d to see a Sephiroth breakdown, I can't wait for that one to come out

@Outgang 2 года назад

Thanks for the thoughtful comment Okami! I'm glad to know the video was accessible to you. The channel was originally aimed at those who already have bases in 3d and are already familiar with a lot of these terms but I'm trying to produce more videos such as this one that's meant to be more accessible for beginners. I'm glad to know I'm going in the right direction with these. Cheers!

Hi thank you for taking the time to make these breakdowns! Just curious, are the UVs split on the hard edges to get clean bevel highlights?

@Outgang 2 года назад

I just checked the model, they're split in the sense that the video card splits hard edges, but there's no gap between the UV shells where there are hard edges.

@georgey2632 2 года назад

Love your videos! Even though I'm not a 3D Artist (a mere software engineer in fact) it's always interesting to see how much detail is put into character models. Just wondering, did they do anything special with his gun (right) arm? I'm guessing the arm is fully modelled and cuts off at a particular point, and a separate gun model is attached to the end of the arm?

@Outgang 2 года назад

Yeah that's right. The arm cuts off at a specific height and the guns are separate interchangeable models

@slothsarecool 2 года назад

Super cool as always! I would love to know how the detail maps from the Tifa one are selectively applied to various areas, just some mask map? Anyone know?

@Outgang 2 года назад

They have one detail map per shader and that detail map is masked using a texture.

@Faizaud 2 года назад

About his spare cartridges and their size relative to his weapon, I would imagine the clip on the gun is more of a housing or compartment that you would slide the next clip into. So the size makes sense in that way.

@Phantomyre 2 года назад

That's very interesting how overall shape can bespeak a character's personality or traits... So that means Vincent Valentine is a triangle-- chaotic and associated to 'evil' which oddly fits him. Also YAY SEPHIROTH!

How is the best way to implement mipmaps.. do you use a third party software to compress the images properly

@Outgang 2 года назад

Modern day engines do those for you automatically. They get created when a texture is imported in the engine.

Would you consider breaking down one of the creatures or summons from FF7 remake? I know this a more of a character focused channel but maybe a more humanoid creature could be interesting to break down and contrast with one of these more grounded realistic characters. Love these model break downs Very insightful.

@maxpowers2785 2 года назад

I seem to notice that Barret doesn't have armpit hair which is kind of odd. I mean he's hairy. Thick beard and mustache, chest hairs, I even noticed he has hair in his forearms. Is it a design choice or a technical limitation? Sorry for the dumb question..hehehe

@Outgang 2 года назад

No it's not dumb. None of the characters have armpit hair. Armpit hair would likely stretch really badly when characters raise their arms so they probably decided not to have it for that reason.
