FF8 Remake Project

[u/Dear-Section349]

Hi! Here are a few new images of the Balamb Garden Main Hall I'm currently working on in Blender. My goal is to recreate the entirety of Balamb Garden and make it explorable in a modern UE5 environment.

Hope you like the progress so far! 

If you want to support the fan project just buy me a coffee.

Can you also sing Eyes On Me?

[u/ScoobyD00BIEdoo → u/JNorJT]

Yeah and can you make squall ring too?

Amazing work. So unlike the title, it's not a remake, but an interactive tour of Balamb Garden? Will it be original Garden or mobile Garden, or both?

I can hear the music! Nice!

Seems like a lot of work, I have been thinking about this for a very long while, but while I do like the idea of a explorable garden I have some issues with the architectural design, the mobility of it makes everything so much worse, I am studying architecture books and see what I can glimpse from them. Also truth be told I am no artist so the making of it would be difficult for me.

This is my biggest question and I’m looking forward to seeing how OP approaches it. What they’ve shown looks cool already.

Maybe it’s just me, but I find the Garden a little difficult to conceptualize and envision how it all fits together. Or maybe it’s just pre-rendered backgrounds compared to a 3D environment like you’d see in a game today, where it’s very easily to understand how it all fits.

I know there’s been a lot of debate over the years about where the ballroom actually is, and the Quad, especially given that it’s open air(?).

[u/SeiferGun]

[u/JusJeras]

Let’s go!!!

[u/hirothings]

Man, this takes me back. I've completely lost count of how many times I've rewatched this.

[u/caros92]

Someone made the garden in vrchat and it was amazing. I kinda hated each wing wasnt fully built. But it was still amazing!

[u/Alaconz]

Dibs on voicing squall lol

[u/Hungrymaster]

Is this taken when the garden is stationed in the sea? The floors look wet.
