Mods & Animation Update Round-Up (Public Post)

Firstly, sorry for the lack of updates recently. I've been having trouble balancing my day work with my night work for the past few months, but I've still been chipping away at some projects when I am able to find the time. Here's a quick round-up of some projects since the last update post

(Note: Due to Patreon not allowing NSFW image on public posts, some images from this post have been removed or censored.)

-MODS-

TEKKEN 8 Nude Natural Character Customization V4

 With the TEKKEN 8 Lidia update, Nude Natural Character Customization had been updated to V4 to support Lidia and her unique textures.

Lidia Nude Natural Main Menu

Also with Lidia's update, she was added as the character of focus on the main menu of the game. This mod replaces Lidia's Default Outfit 01 with a custom nude model for her, which is the same outfit the main menu retrieves when loading her into the main menu.

Adult Honeybee Inn V3

This mod took quite a while to prepare and create. The Adult Honeybee Inn mod is my most downloaded mod so far, but looking back at it I was feeling the quality was a bit lacking. So I wanted to take everything I've learned so far while iterating on my Tifa Nude Natural V8 mod and apply it to the Honeybee Inn mod.

There's 6 NPCs to create unique textures and models for which makes this mod particularly tricky, but I think the new models and physics turned out well.

-ANIMATION-

I've been focusing on further improving the model's overall appeal from V2 to V2.5.

V2's face I think looks interesting, but doesn't really look like Tifa, so I've been massaging her eyes and face shape to invoke more of her original/classic design from her original concept art, while still modernizing her a bit.

The shaders have also seen subtle improvements that give a much better skin tone and detail while avoiding exposure clipping.

 
I've also been studying the new game Zenless Zone Zero, as I feel their artstyle does a great job of representing stylized anime characters in 3D without forcing the characters to look 2D like in ArcSystem games (which also looks amazing but is different to the style I'm targeting in my head.)

 So I've been taking notes at how ZZZ goes about modeling and texturing their characters, and trying to implement in to these animations as well. I don't want my animations to look 100% like ZZZ, there's a bit more 3D shading I want to introduce to the style, but there is definitely a lot to learn from the game's characters, environments, and animations.

There are a few characters from the game that would be interesting to make animations of as well after I progress further with Tifa.

 

I have also created additional shapekeys and controls for inverted nipples as well, as I know different people are attracted to different nipple shapes, and I think both look pretty good for this breast shape and size.

-FUTURE-
Again, sorry for the lack up updates, but I'm still dedicated to created the highest quality NSFW mods and animation that I can, and trying to make each one better than my previous work.

Final Fantasy XVI released yesterday and I am currently observing it's modding scene and if model imports will be possible. I haven't played FFXVI yet so I don't immediately have any mods in mind. But from the short clips I've seen of the game, the tone seems very mature so I feel there will be some opportunities for interesting NSFW mods that make sense in context of the game world.

Additionally, Street Fighter 6 will be updated with the Terry DLC soon, which I am assuming will likely break a few SF6 mods. So I will be doing maintenance on those as well where it will be needed.

Dragon's Dogma 2 also saw a major update out of the blue today, which seems to not have broken any existing mods, but would be a good opportunity to go back and revise/update a few of my mods for that game as well.

And finally if you guys have any suggestions for any games you think I should investigate in modding, or have any suggestions for tweaks to Tifa's model, or have any scenario's you'd want to see Tifa animated in, feel free to comment your ideas!
