Currenlty, I'm just using the original ones, since the CG in this mod (very) roughly correspond to the RL ones.... Well, that and since my time's limited, replacing the palaces is a low priority for me.
BTW, ton of stuff done on the mod in the past few weeks. Muffins just gave me his incomplete (but nearly so) version of the Galbadian Soldier, and I'll be using Open FX to complete the model (eventually, like after I get the next 3 or four Poser models done), so that will be done eventually. I've got the Shinra SOLDIER finished, and all that's left for FF VII UUs is the third Shinra UU, which will either be the red Shinra Attack Sub OR the X-Cannons that you had to fight during the assault on the Sister Ray at the end of Disk 2.
In addition, with Spacer One's help, I've got the Lunatic Pandora Lab (replaces the Internet), Bugenhagen's Observatory (Copernicus'), Zanarkand Dome (Shakespear's theater), and Alexandria Castle (Sun Tzu's) wonders finalized. In addition, working on my own, I've got the Dollet Comm Tower (SETI Program), Dr. Gast's Laboratory (Isaac Newton's Univ), and my Weapon Development Program small wonder (increases research and produces a Makou Cannon every 10 turns) finished as well.
In addition, I am even now rendering out the first FF King unit: Cloud Strife of AVALANCHE (easy to do since all I have to do is take the Shinra SOLDIER models, which are already animated, and change a few props and re-render).
I've also got the Al Bhed Machina Hunter finished, so FF X is now taken care of (as far as UUs are concerned.... I still need to make King units for both Grand Maester Mika and Rikku). After I get a unit I promised Shirokobure done, I'll start working on the Middle age Chocobo unit: the Chocobo Knight. The unit is completely set up and ready to animate, but I've got to get through Cloud and the Geisha assassin first.
I'm additionally considering making LHs for Regent Cid of Lindblum and King Cecil of Baron, since the LH I have right now don't look that much like who they're supposed to be.... but that remains to be seen.
I've also started getting things around for the FF I civs (based on 8-bit theater), where Thief is the Leader of the Light Warriors, and Garland is leader of the Dark Warriors. I've found the perfect breastplate for Garland, and will be using some helmet and other props to make that LH fairly soon. For the Garland King unit, I'm using ED's Chaos Warrior, and for the three Dark Warrior UUs, I'm using Aaglo's Dark Elf Assassin for the Dark Elf Blademaster (based on Dri'zzle from the 8-bit theater comics), Smoking Mirror's Pirate as well, a Pirate (based on Bikke from the original game & the 8-bit theater comics), and one of Embryodead's vampires as a Vampire (based on the vampire charachter/boss from the original game & 8-bit theater). For the Light warriors, I'm slowly working on a color conversion of the Wizard for a Black Mage unit (although I may end up doing my own since it's usually faster to just make the thing in Poser than to muck around with C&P). In addition, I plan to make a Red Mage and a Sword-Chucker (a guy armed with sword-chucks YO!.... See 8-bit theater comic for details).
