About Stellar Blade Characters

Added 2025-06-23 12:23:03 +0000 UTC

I got asked about this a lot so here's my answer: yes I am interested on making them, starting with Eve and Tachy at least. I've checked the models when the demo was out and they're surprisingly not that overcomplicated. However there's one problem, that is the lack of facial bones because apparently Stellar Blade used morphs to create expression exactly like HS2.

Thing is I need to use facial bones to create expressions which I then export as morphs for the head mod. One solution is to rig the face from scratch, which I've done before and while it's painful and likely will take a long time is the safest option. However I've noticed that the models are extracted along with their morphs and that get me thinking if I can use those and and adapt them to HS2.

But I never done such thing before and there's very high chance of failure. Should I succeed however, the resulting expressions will be very accurate to the original source. So I really want to do that over the safer option, although realistically I may not fit such uncertain experimentation in the usual spot where I targeted 7-10 days completion. And thus I decided to take it as side project, doing it along the usual scheduled projects with no release target for now. I'd love to get it sooner than later when the hype is still high but I hope you guys can understand.

tl;dr I want to do the characters but there's problem with the models and I'm experimenting with them so I can't promise when

(Also I will post monthly poll after this and it's gonna be HUGE)
