Here is a list of workflows people can use for modding assets in any RE Engine game (as of this writing, that would be RE2, RE3, RE7, and DMC5). I'll be using DMC5 as an example for all the info here, but this is applicable to any RE Engine game (some paths would be slightly different).
If you're new to RE Engine modding, the first step is to extract the PAK files from the game so you get access to the files you want to edit. You can use

This version primarily improves the PAK entry invalidation mode in REtool (which is an alternate way of modding RE Engine games than using Fluffy Manager). It also enables an alternate way of extracting files from PAK files where it doesn't create a directory with the same name as the PAK file and extract files there, but extracts it to the curr...

Here's a workflow I created for making your own SC6 story screenshots with customized text, characters, and background. I initially created this for use during my streams as intermission screens, and since it's made to be used by only me I didn't exactly focus on making the process super duper user-friendly, but hopefully it isn't too fiddly to set up.

Even newer update: Yet another hotfix (v2.242)! This one isn't as important, but clicking on "Downloads" would sometimes freeze up the mod manager occasionally which I didn't really like. I figured out it was due to the way it checks for which mods are already downloaded (which meant it would be slower with many mods already downloaded). I rewrote that code and now those freezes should never happen.
Update: I released a little hotfix just now (v2.241) which fixes a major bug I accidenta...

This version will guess the extension for files with unknown filenames when extracting from PAK files. It does this by looking at the header data for the file data. This is useful for when you look at unused assets in an RE Engine game, or get a quick look at files before a proper filelist is generated for a new game or patch. If there's any ext...

This feature took more time than expected, but I've now made it so that the mod manager is capable of downloading and extracting a new version of itself. I've also made it so that wallpapers.pkg and minigames.pkg aren't included by default. This means the initial download for the mod manager is ...

BC7 as texture format is becoming more and more common for games (in particular, RE Engine games use this for virtually every texture), and because of how the format works (there's a good explanation for it here: http://www.reedbeta.com/blog/understanding-bcn-texture-compression-formats/) it can vary how well BC7 compressors will compress images into the format.

This mod exaggerates all of the facial animations in cutscenes. I was meaning to do more work with the mod to make the animation edits more consistent (the game stores the data in a bunch of different formats and I wasn't able to find good ways of editing all of them the same way) and I think there are some cutscenes which might be overly broken (I don't think the mod causes any crashes but I'm not 100% certain).
If there any major issues with the mod, then let me know.

I'm working on an automatic updater for Fluffy Manager so updating it only takes a few clicks (making it no longer necessary to manually download and extract a new version). I'll finish implementing that feature regardless, but while doing this I'm considering to make parts of Fluffy Manager optional. That is, specifically making the default download not include wallpapers.pkg (all of the game backgrounds and logos for various games) or minigames.pkg (the RE0 and RE3 puzzle minigames).

I randomly took a bunch of 4K screenshots with 200% resolution scaling (yes, my computer wept) of Lady in DMC5, and I figured I might as well upload these at full quality.

I made this a while ago, but I updated the mod so it works with the latest SC6 patch (it works as of 2020/08/04). This adds the Faraway Meadow stage to the stage selection screen (works in all local versus mode and casual lobbies). I'm limited where to place it on the stage selection screen, so I decided to make it replace the training stage on that screen. That does mean you can't select that stage while the mod is installed, unfortunately.

Previous version would always take a small amount of GPU time whenever in use (unless it was minimized, then it was 0%). This new version will take 0% if nothing is being animated or if it's out of focus. Its usage was pretty low regardless, but 0% is better than 1-2%!
