[Honey Select 2] Ada Wong Public Preview (& Technical Talk)

Added 2021-01-22 03:07:45 +0000 UTC

Like Claire, Ada doesn't need an introduction. So here's preview for public. Ada's costume you see here is not included, but you probably already have the set if you use a repack. Credits to chw for porting the costume, and also big thanks to Darkruler4300 for helping me cracking the code of HS2 expressions.

So it took longer than I anticipated. Again, the asymmetrical face proved to be the hardest thing to deal with but other things were troublesome too. Spent few days trying to fix the hair until I realize the answer is within normal map that I thought was fine but somehow didn't save its alpha channel correctly. And the hair still has that dithering look. It's a problem inherent to HS2, and worse when you tried to port a hair that wasn't mean for rendering method that AI/HS2 used.

Making expressions took a while too, as well as fixing the brows, lashes, make-up, etc. Kinda expected from a model this complex. I'm satisfied with result so far and I hope you too.

EDIT: I forgot to say, since the poll shows DHH is used by most people, I used DHH as well for this preview pic. Preset number 4 in one of DX map, as is without modification. Simple as that.
