I think they were talking about features that explain the creation of the texture maps and morph targets not the actual data. Similar to how other DVDs have features on effects. I'd be extremely surprised if Square gave away any texture maps or morph target. Aki alone took 30 artist 5 months to create. Also in order for them to be used You'ld nedd the actual Aki and Dr. Sid models. The head models also have large poly counts up to 100,000 polygons. But I'm still looking forward to the DVD to see how they created the character will be cool and I heard at one point the characters looked too real and freaked people out. Maybe we'll see some of that footage. I've been addicted to DVDs since they came out I can't seem to get enough behind the scenes info. I'm also learning how to deal with things at work when they get changed or cancalled. It doesn't seem that tragic when a project you've been working on for a few weeks gets cut when you hear about some of these effects guys who spend 5-6 months on a scene that never makes it into the film.
