Here is a model I have made, it's sir Fratley. But I need some help, the original concept art by square enix only had a front view. Therefore I'm having a hard time forming some parts of his body. Please tell me what to add or fix. Also I saw some people over here have been able to extract textures from the game, the textures I'm using now are from the concept art so it lacks both detail and it's very blurred out. I'm going to use this for a free fan game. So ideas are welcomed Please tell me what to fix....the main reason I'm posting this here is to get some help with the Texture/reference... since this is a Freya Fratley Burmecia fan forum!! =D DEMO 0.5This video shows three of the characters animation + the beta demo level Cleyra. It's a bit laggy that is because of the recorder, in game it doesn't lag at all. As I said right now I need people who can make textures, if you are interested please tell me.

Oh wow! You did a fantastic jawb there Zarnik, congratulations on your model! Also you didn't mention what game this will be in, but I presume this will be in Morrowwind? Tho since you asked suggestions, I'd make the blade more ..well not so jaggedy and more circular, if its possible. Also add a tiny bow to Fratley's tail for finesse and kannon. =P Other then that, you did very well on this model and wish you luck! Keep up the good work.

This isn't a replacement model, it's going to be in a game of it own. A 3rd person game featuring Fratley as the main character. I haven't got a storyline yet, but I thought the game could be about how Fratley lost his memory. If you got any ideas just tell me, btw it's a ingame screenshot...and the spear could need some modifications...
EDIT: Btw how dead is this forum O.o

Howdy there zarnik! Welcome to RoER! The forum is slow, but not dead. Not yet. As for texture quality, we have a few artists that could try to clean up the image, or attempt to make a new one. The model is a bit low-rez, but a damn sight better than anything else attempted here! Nice work!
If you're trying to capture the chibi-style of FFIX, you're doing fine. If you're trying to go a bit more realistic, you might want to narrow his hips a little.

Nice work! Just a minor touch or two like putting the bow on his tail and maybe refining it a bit and you're good to go!
I'm sure they'll be a lot of interest in a fan-game starring Fratley...Melzi and Dec will get addicted to it when it gets finished.

Thanks, a friend of mine is working on the animations while I'm trying to setup controls for the character. Now that is a pain...when that is finished I will post a animation video. And you want a bow on his tail?? Isn't that gay? O.o This may take awhile though, since I have encountered a problem...but I will post it when it's done. It's funny that only moderators and administrators reply to this, where are the texture artists you were talking about Just Allen?

In the Western chivalric tradition it wasn't uncommon for continental knights to either wear or carry a token of their lady's affection with them in their travels (a handkerchief, or a glove, or a ribbon), so from that perspective you couldn't really call it gay [courtly love is definitely for the birds, though.]
All that's completely irrelevant, though, as Frats DOES have a ribbon tied to his tail, just not in a bow.

You want the little pink thing on his tail in this image? Just thought of something cool, maybe Fratley could have a voice?? xD That would actually be kinda cool...anyone that has a deep Fratley like voice?

I've been told I have a deep voice; anyone that's heard me on the radio station; whaddya think? I'll post a sound byte once I get back to the city; no mic at the moment

Ok, if you would do the voice of him that would actually save a lot of time. Since I then don't have to make little text windows. When you get back to the city try to record your voice saying this: If you feel unconfortable saying some of this stuff you can say something else. It's not important, but it would be cool if you could say this since it's Fratleys real lines... This is the scene...anyone who is interested can upload a sample of their voice. I have started working on the first level for the demo. It's going to be Cleyra, if there are any texture artists around here I could need some help with textures. DEMO 0.5This video shows three of the characters animation + the beta demo level Cleyra. It's a bit laggy that is because of the recorder, in game it doesn't lag at all. As I said right now I need people who can make textures, if you are interested please tell me. DEMO VID - www.screencast.com/t/JVfcbNnr - DEMO VID

I do believe that you just won at life.
I'm not that good at textures, but if you send me a couple of UVmaps, I'll attempt to hammer out something

Glad you liked it, it's a bit hard to send up UVs and get it right. I'm going to put together a team later. Maybe you want to join cuz you said you wanted to do both the voice of Fratley and texture work?? Btw have you got any 3D experience, if you can use blender 3D that would be great! =D I created this website for the team to hang out, I'l send you the link.
I thought this game could work like Final Fantasy X when it comes to the movement. But instead of fighting in a turn based system you would fight real time like in platformers like Spyro the dragon etc. In town etc you should not be able to jump, but outside in nature where the enemies are you should =p And how is it going with the sound sample? Sorry for my bad english btw...>_>

All I can see is a blank white screen for that vid... Allen doing Fratley's voice? I dunno...it's not what I picture. I guess no matter who you pick for it, someone will disagree. If you still insist on having a voice though, I could have a go. I did voice clips for other characters a while ago.

Ehhh you have to click play, it's white in the beginning. Yeah send up a sample, only Fratley will have a voice though. And maybe Freya in the end of the game or something. The NPCs will have text, otherwise the game size would be huge since I can only use waw files for sound....>_>

I did click play. I still just get nothing but white.
I'll try recording some stuff when I get some free time.
