Here's the current progress on Jessie Topless V3! I spent some time trying to improve her anatomy and textures since V2 started to feel like it was lacking some detail and some accuracy. I will als...

I've just completed bug testing and I'm now beginning to capture photos and video to showcase the mod. Since Cloud's color fluctuates a bit even in Remake, I decided to give Cloud Hyper HD 3 color ...

Good progress on the stitches and fabrics so far. It's a subtle change but I'm trying to align him more with his high-res renders, like in the game's pause menu. His shoulder pad and general color ...

More progress on Cloud's high poly mesh recreations. I believe I won't need to do this for 100% of Cloud's meshes, but only just the metal and hard surfaces that could really benefit from the addit...

Cloud might be a little more difficult than I thought. In order to give him the highest quality textures possible (without having Square's original high res files), I'll have to make my own high-re...

I redid the sculpting on her abs and slimmed down her legs a bit from previously. Since this animation will be aiming for a more cartoony style instead of realism, I'm also trying to exaggerate her...

Shiva has a lot of interesting and unique patterns on her skin which would be difficult to recreate from scratch, so keeping as much of her original mesh I felt was important, but also makes this a...

I had assumed there was a nude Shiva mod already, but I couldn't find one so I think it will be an interesting one to do next. Her mesh is a bit tricky though, so I think it may take longer than me...

Tifa has a lot more intricate detail than I realized. Looking at Cloud's textures more closely briefly, he is very simple in comparison and would likely already be complete if he had a similar Hype...

I think the body is mostly close to finish, I'm starting to focus more on the detail in the clothing now. I might start rigging before the rest is finished just to start on some test animations.
