Playable FMV Aerith Field MOD 1.0 RELEASED image - Final Fantasy 7 The Shinra CHARACTER overhaul MOD. for Final Fantasy VII
You need a program called unlgp to be able to unrar lgp-archives (FF7- gamefiles), or to be able to repack them again. Download UNLGP. Learn how to use it through it's readme-file and then do the following to install my addons. Readme in folder. 1. Back up your "char.lgp" found in your FF7/data/field folder. Then unpack it using UNLGP and rename that folder "char". You can unrar an lgp-archive by doubleclicking on the lgp-file after you have installed the program unlgp. Put all the field-model files in your new "char"-folder. Aeriths textures are now compatible! When you have decided who you want to add you should create a new lgp-file. You can do this easy by clicking on "swift" at the same time while you are right-clicking on the folder. Click on "create lgp" as it will be such an option. The file will then be created and you should wait until it finishes. Make sure the file is named char.lgp. Reppeat the same process for the rest in menu_us.lgp and battle.lgp. Tifa's Bootleg add-on.
Battle-model of Aerith MADE BY KALDARASHA over at the Qhimm Forums.
Rigging of the model into a field model, for both the normal field model and the flower model, by Mr_Nygren.
I did do this character when I were in the process of updating my Scarlet character and the Aerith NPC - which is using this model as well.
I did this work on july 30-31 2018, and had thoughts about doing it to the rest of the main characters because I really loved Kaldarasha's models from back then - that look exactly like in the FMV-movies.
I did always want to have the characters look like that in the past. However, Aerith was the only one finished.
Kaldarasha decided for some reason to only do the battle-models like this, while the field-models are cell-shaded and less good looking.
The reason he explained, was that he didn't think they would fit with the lower resolution models - but I respectfully disagree.
I had done a field model out of his Barret-model for the Dyne-npc as well - but I never did normal Barret.
I've also used his Cloud-model to replace battle-model Rufus, but never did the actual Cloud in this style.
Modder NinoStyle has made awesome models based on the art-style of FF7 - that he has painted himself. I like that style even more.
But this FMV-style is still very good and much better than the original models.
