Great Stuff, keep it up. ^.^ Any chance you can make Marche's soldier suit or a Bangaa's Templar outfit from FFTA?

Re: Izlude shrine knight from FFT and others soon

mebbeh ^^ we'll have to see...today I spent mos of my free time hoping to add the whole face of stormshadow (from GIjoes to a mask, it would have worked but... I couldnt tell what part of the mask was what in the bmp file so... I decided since it took up most of my free time I'd make something that will be faster.... a female lancer helm that someone tried to do a few days ago ..I think it may almost be finished... still changing it a bit

Re: Izlude shrine knight from FFT and others soon

Nice, I loved FFT and you've captured the character's image almost perfectly! (Except the face, but that doesnt matter too much). Keep up the good work. :D

Re: Izlude shrine knight from FFT and others soon

ok, dunno what happened but... I posted this and after i attached pics it sent me back to the main page and i didnt get to save my first post so ..a quick description ..someone tried to make a lancer helm on this forum and it didnt work out ..he didnt say why...so...I figured id make one ..I dont have a good pic of one so I cant see much of a difference but ...heres what I saw. Also as this only took about 5 minutes I didnt change the color, or the looks too much ..Just made it look like a lancer helm from FFTA..if someone would like it, and has a better reference pic...I may fix it up and release it.

Nice Dragoon. Hmmm...if you colored the hume female shrine night green...wouldn't that be Melidoul(sp?)? Shellbust Stab! Icewolf Bite! Man...I miss those moves.

[dabadking]

Re: Izlude shrine knight from FFT and others soon

yes it would look very close to melidoul, however...as most of the shrine knights use the same clothing basically... I dont want to flood the forum with simple recolorings of the same gear so..unless requested, I doubt Ill make them public..however since I personally want to have most of the chars available to me..When I have time Ill most likely make it So that I have it in my personal collection ^^

-----------------------------------------EDIT: ----------------------------------------------------
okay just finished this ..I made it from the drg AF helm as shown above..I blended the armor piece on top into the base of the helm so it looks like he has a ninja mask on but a hood covering him instead of just a solid ninja mask, as to me ..that would look a bit plain. I havent added any colors or designs to it or ANYTHING...Just a model basically Also the little bumps on the sides of the front view pic...that is to make it look like he has a hood on...it looks like it to me anyways lol...if noone thinks it gives it a hood look, I will blend it into the mask again.

Also anyone that wants these items ported to other races...please...anyone who knows how to port them, please do...I can but ...I always get wrapped up in them and decide to make them all different and..it takes a lot of time from designs and outfits I could be making. If anyone would like to volunteer they will get all the models I am making, and have made before they are released (obviously lol) If I didnt have to port to other races I could make maybe 3 to 4 in my spare time given nothing gets complicated lol

Also in the case of these models where they have been changed a bit (this and the lancer helm, as well as the drk helm) they cannot just simply be copied onto the bmp of the other race so... While I can and MAY port them ...it will not be an exact copy of the first one as I have to shape each piece indiviually and ..of course it wont ever be exact when you do that by hand

Re: Izlude shrine knight from FFT and others soon

okay ...Ive decided that since I am most likely going to make a lot of FFT character outfits (I havent tried editing faces or hair so ..outfits will have to do for now). This is where ill be putting all my outfits for FFT instead of one topic per character so that i dont flood the forums lol. just a rough draft of what Ill be making, i think its best to post what I have as early as possible just in case I missed a detail, or someone has a better reference picture... i mean cmon ...have you seen the picture I have to go off of? XD Ive only just done the body for now, and even thats not finished but ..

I'd like feedback ..should I stay as close as the picture as possible(no designs etc)? Or...should I add more stuff? the rest of the gear will come once I finish the body but heres an early look at it....yeah Im far from the best at this but

before i started making my own (skinning anyways) Even SOMETHING resembling FFT or other RPG stuff was things i looked forward to, so while its not the best ..it will be something I work on for the people like me who didnt know how to do this and wanted something to remind them of past games that were lost today so it will look a lot better given time but...right now its very late, and I work tomorrow/today so.. Ill leave you with a picture and the pics Im using as a reference and hopefully ill get a few suggestions from here

P.S. thanks to the person responsible for shadowslair website (not sure what forum if any that hes on, but has since retired from modding in FFXI) for the original shrine knight outfit, which although I didnt use helped me to realize that you CAN make cape type things

Hi, I think you know who this is . I rarely respond on boards nowadays. If you want feedback, I will give it. May have already been said, but I don't care .

As for staying as close to the picture and adding designs and whatnot, here is my advice. When I did this project, my goal was a exact replica of Shrine Knight gear from FFT. This means I don't add any new designs or even a better visual upgrade to it. It would look exactly like that FFT character no matter how bland it looks.

Now if you saw the shots I did long ago, you'd probably say that wasn't in FFT. This is because back then, I never really did get a good working gold color to work so I did my own thing ;P. Thing with that was that I wanted to have a SK look too so I made it kinda like FFT and at the end, I did my own designs.

So keep with the original. That is your goal. If you make it into something else, it really isn't FFT, just the model resembles that Shrine Knight look.

I'm just wondering, what are you planning to use for the gloves, legs, and boots? I'm curious because if you're planning on using that bone gear, I don't think thats going to look so good .

Hmm, I think you need the "gold" look on the shoulder plates. It doesn't look quite "gold" does it ;P? Then it would be Izlude. Right now, that shade of color on the shoulder plates isn't that good imo.

Other than that, nothing needs to be changed. This is because it does indeed look like (the body that is) like Izlude from FFT. You got it perfect. The main issue now should be the other body parts.

I think I saw something about a cape in a post. I created a cape long ago for this, but it didn't work out so well and I dumped that just because Shrine Knight don't really wear capes.

Anyways, glad someone is doing something that I planned to do long ago, but never did due to my schedule.

Re: Izlude shrine knight from FFT and others soon

Mm...big improvement. No more unknown orange metal XD Looks good, keep it up ^^

[dabadking]

Re: Izlude shrine knight from FFT and others soon

LOL, yeah ...no more orange metal....although, originally I was going for a more bronze color because my reference pic was so friggen small...It looked bronze to me ...but I found another pic and ...it is gold so ..I changed it

Re: Izlude shrine knight from FFT and others soon

I like them all! Keep up the good work!

Re: Izlude shrine knight from FFT and others soon

^^ next one Im making really quick is Knight from FFT (while I do have some requests to do first ....I cant do them yet because I havent gotten my monitor back) But I can do the knight one since I basically got the stuff ready for it. while im looking very closely at the gear for knight .... Im hoping to not just change my Izlude to look like knight ...I know he looks close to a normal knight minus a few pieces... Im trying to keep every piece as original as I can with no lazy recolorings.......unless specifically requested.
I was GOING to make templar but... seeing as that will put me through hell...Ive postponed that untill I get my monitor working again as well.

Re: Izlude shrine knight from FFT and others soon

TY TY , Hey by the way. I am currently TRYING to figure out how to take a piece and move the whole piece to another spot Using VRS ....anyone know how I can do this? If anyone can help me out, I can actually make a REAL cape that actually goes around the neck like the chars in FFT. Ive even made the cape itself and it fits perfectly ..unfortunately because its still attatched to the hip ..any animation makes it look like crap ; ;. If I can get this to work, I will have my knight outfit from FFT finished today, and will also be updating all my chars with capes to use this free flowing style cape.

----------------EDIT--------------
These pics show the problems Im having ... 3 of them show the cape itself and that it is actually a good looking cape model....however the last pic, shows that It is horrible when its in motion. Thats why I need to move the points to just under the tip of the shoulderblades area where the cape is at now.

P.S. ignore the side flaps ..they will be alpha'd out, I just havent yet as If I cant get this to work first then theres no reason to even make the rest of it for this gear. I will just have to make a version 1 with a decent cape I suppose first. Unless someone wouldn't mind helping me out a little.
