EARLY ACCESS: (Shiny and Orange) Shirtless Niko Bellic Beta

You would not FATHOM the hoops i had to jump through to get this working over the past few days. 3DS Max kept treating the imported FBX as if it has no UVs whatsoever. I tried, with the help of least three different friends over the past three or four days to NO AVAIL. i was so upset, to the point of physical illness that this model i'd been working on since at LEAST September of 2022(!) was breaking on import with seemingly no solution... Until I spent all day today troubleshooting like i di...

Things I Been Doin // 23Jan2024

This TIBD post i've made available to everyone just to welcome all the free followers I've gotten recently, I just wanted to say HI! And to let you to know that I appreciate you too, and to tell you what I've got going on, and what to expect form me in the coming weeks!

My last post I was talking about my attempts in converting GTA Online heads into lore friendly GTA IV equivalents, and never ended up showing my results, so here's some pictures of these heads!

So some backstory, I...

CS Alex Chilton .blend (EXCLUSIVE)

Sorry this took so long to get out! Here's Lore Friendly Alex with her CS face available in a .blend file for you to do whatever and make renders with! I hope everyone had a nice Christmas or whatever other holiday they celebrated!

All the textures should be packed in there to switch between but you might need to extract the final trenchcoat textures for yourself from the f_y_pcool_01 wtd and ...

Things I Been Doin // 17Dec2023

Have been doing totally bonkers things lately, making two GTA Online characters lore-friendly GTA IV equivalents, changing their head size to something much more closer to the IV proportions (see, IV was the last cry out of the original GTA style, you can still see the remnants before they went "as close as we can get" realism in GTA V)

GTA Online heads are so low poly compared to the GTA IV s...

Things I Been Doin // 3Dec2023

Hope you guys had a great Halloween. Mine was okay— A week or two ago, with the help of a dear friend I've just acquired Softwrap— and after a real successful first test, I'm hoping I'll be able to show you the results soon, and get to all the projects that I've been  meaning to now that I got it. But above all, the GTA V project that's been sitting around unfinished since January 2021 where I lost the steam for it, along with that whole game.

For now, here's just something sil...

Modo Ski Jacket Redone Unlocked (+.blend For Patrons)

EDIT: Okay EVERYTHING is fixed, reuploaded the zip entirely now.

At the urging of Patron Robyn who wanted the release of Toby's Jacket, I've finally finished my redone version of that jacket's origin, the Modo Ski Jacket.

Beta Perseus Dress Shirt - Early Access Exclusive

If you remember the other day i posted a picture of Niko in the first go at the Perseus Dress Shirt and I decided to release it here for early access before I finish fixing the final one with geometry buttons for public release in (hopefully) a few days.

Tonight I'll also be putting together a to-do list for people in the Rosebud tier and above to prioritize tasks!!! 

Things I Been Doin // 17October2023

Once again apologizing for the lack of regular posts!!! i should really remember the next time i go and bother my friends with really tedious and uninteresting progress i've made on random mods I should be WRITING ONE OF THESE INSTEAD!

Before I get started, my buddy Golden Saddle surprised me with a funny little video of his that he made. He does this series on Youtube where he does these 6 star wanted level shootouts and tries to escape them, and he just did one with the 2023-10-17 06:12:05 +0000 UTC View Post

Things I Been Doin // 31July2023

Deeply sorry for the lack of updates! Filmed for a movie in June and it totally destroyed me and my body for weeks, and because of a tax mistake i made $150 less than I should have. Nightmare!!!

But regardless i was still able to acquire an honest to God GAMING PC!!! Not that I've done much with it when it's in the hottest room in the house and the seating situation is shit and it lacks a soundcard so I haven't been able to use my normal headset with it.

I haven't gotten much wor...

Things I Been Doin // 13May2023

Well... I ran out of my 3DS Max 2011 trial. Will be going back to the old method of jockeying my fbx's to friends with Max, as I've recorded a tutorial for not only the Blender>Max>IV importing process, but with specific pointers on preparing a model in Blender for GTA IV for the best results you can get while we are without a Blender Plugin.

Oh, and I may have commissioned a guy for a Blender plugin<...

Things I Been Doin // 27Apr23

I have about 10 days left on my 3DS Max and I am absolutely dreading it running out. Don't know why i haven't been working on quick but fruitful projects like a maniac when this trial first started, instead I'm doing the bonkers thing and working on something like this.

(the mostly un-triangulated quads are my work)

Things I Been Doin // 27Mar23

Streamed myself doing the bulk of this guy's hair today on Twitch, after starting it just a couple days ago on stream as well.
This is Toby, Tobias Petropoulos, an original character for something I've been working on. His hair is obviously not done yet, but I'd like to believe it's really coming along.

His jacket is made from Niko's Uppr 001, which I've just hated for a long time....

Cableknit Sweater for Niko (Unlocked File & .blend for Patrons)

The Cableknit Sweater underneath Niko's Liberty Sanitation Departent windbreaker is available for download publicly on GTAInside, but locked to prevent edits.

However, i have not only the unlocked wdr in this attachment, but my .blend file as well. 

Blender > Max > GTA IV Process

Here's a video, not of me, but of fellow modder Al Alvarez demonstrating how to get a sweater from Blender (already rigged and perfect as can be) into 3DS Max and exported to openformats for GTA IV, with utmost ease.

I personally don't have 3DS Max on my PC for a plethora of reasons, so I unfortunately have to rely on others for this process, and pray every night for a Blender plugin for the last GTA to not have one.

1. your FBX needs to be already rigged and ready to g...

Happy St. Packie McReary's Day...

When I heard Packie go, "I ain't gonna make old bones, I know that, but I'd like to hit thirty!" followed by "[...] I doubt I'll see another six months and if it's much longer..." I considered the original slated October '07 release of the game, March is only 5 months on... I figured he had a March birthday. And no other day in March would make more sense to me than the 17th. I celebrated with cupcakes for the second year in a row.

Here's some Packie stuff.

CS KateMc W Edit: Open Cardigan & Dress (PATRON EXCLUSIVE)

*EDIT: FINALLY FIXED HER ALPHA ISSUE ON HER NECKLACE CHAIN! turns out uppr drawables straight up Cannot have alpha. Good thing too i guess, as they made her look very... Wet.*

Kate McReary CS W model replacement— putting her in a dress and cardigan for the wedding as opposed to another recolor of her regular outfit.

And for some Silly, Silly Reason the funeral cutscene uses her _d model, so i recommend just replacing that one with this one as well.

Can't figure ou...

McReary House Exterior Christmas Lights

Made this in a 3 hour marathon Christmas morning from about 1 to 4am. 

Inspired by my favorite houses we'd see around Christmas when i was a kid, warm, fat, mid-century incandescent Christmas lights for the McReary house. Directions in the readme. Available for all.

The Tragedy of Andrei Bellic

I modeled Niko's older deceased brother of whom he mentions exactly once (to Packie, in conversation) back in February 2021, but never really did anything with him. After all, hand in hand I felt I also needed young Niko who i didn't feel very good about until the most recent edits to him i made the past few weeks, and i needed hair for young Niko, something i still haven't got...
