Release - Cat Pack

Here is the third launch model for June! 🙌

Ported this one a little while ago and have been waiting for a good time to release it. I quite like these types of models where you can just change the textures and get a completely different look. The fur parts for the body are all VAM clothing pieces with the ears being CUA to best preserve their shape.

Next Model Poll #35 - Prelims

Here are the nominations for Next Model Poll #35! 

Hope everyone is having a nice start to the month. The weather is super nice over here. The sun is out and it's not too hot yet but i'm sure we're in for another heatwave this summer... 

Back to the poll - As always, we've got some strong contenders from previous rounds including multiple former-finalists. Will ...

Oni-Projects - Elizabeth

Here is the tenth model in the Oni Project series.

For those of you that follow the discord chat, i'd been thinking about doing this model for a while. I held off while as it was getting some traction in the polls but since it's missed out a few times now, I decided to pull the trigger and go ahead and port it.

I've ported over what I think are the 3 main outfits. There is a different hairstyle for each one as well as a whole new skin texture for the BAS versio...

Release - Sakura

Here is the second launch model for June! Courtesy of JC318. Big thanks to them for commissioning it for release.

This was an enjoyable model to port. I feel like this style of anime model ports over really nicely to VAM. The textures do a lot of the work to make it look good.

The model comes with 3 different outfits. Everything is VAM clothing except for the hair which is CUA. Some of the clothing parts have physics as appropriate.

Release - Shyvana

Here is the first launch model for June!

Another fun one to port. Used to be a big fan but don't play much anymore - this was a great model to work with though.

The armor parts are all VAM clothing except for the claws and helmet. It can be quite hard to get VAM clothing to look metallic but i'm quite pleased with how it turned out, especially how it holds up side-by-side with the CUA metallic pieces.

Release - Nika

Here is the winner of Next Model Poll #34!

Quick turnaround on this one as I have a busy second half of the week! 

The model includes the outfit shown above in the screenshot. The morph incorporates some of the shark features like the fins on the elbows. These are best shown when Smooth Passes is set to 0.

The hair, ears, and tail are all CUA with physics so that they move about nicely in motion. You can toggle on and off certain parts ...

Winner #34 - Nika

Nika takes the win for Next Model Poll #34!

Big numbers all round and it was super close on percentage so it was always going to come down to weighting. The scale tips in favour of Nika this time round after two strong showings in the polls this month. 

I'll be making a start on this shortly and will have it finished by the end of the week so keep an eye out for it!

Better luck next time to the Elizabeth and Urbosa voters. I might end u...

Next Model Poll #34 - Finals

Here are your Top 3! Full results including tier-weighting can be found attached. 

We had another tie with both Elizabeth and Nika getting 72 points but at least this time it wasn't a showstopper. After a close final few hours, Urbosa ends up taking the third spot with an equally high 61 points. 

Better luck next time to those that didn't make it throug...

Next Model Poll #34 - Prelims

Here are your nominations for Next Model Poll #34! 

Hope you're all having a good week - it's almost the weekend 🙏

We have a huge selection of models for the prelims. Not too many newcomers, but a lot of very popular models from previous rounds. I count at least 5 runner ups here from final rounds. There's only one spot for a winner though and it will be one of th...

Release - Rosa

Here is the winner of Next Model Poll #33!

The dress has 3 variations - Full, Full with physics, and just the top half without the skirt of  sleeves. The hair and earrings are CUA with physics applied so that it moves about in motion. The star for the dress can either be CUA or clothing. I have it applied as CUA in the scene just because it's a bit more accurate.

Winner #33 - Rosa

Here is the winner of Next Model Poll #33! 

After an extra round, Rosa ends up taking the win over Nika on both popularity and weighting 👏 

Better luck next time to the Nika voters. It was very close, and if the winner was decided by Discord memes, you might just have taken it. The next poll isn't far away though so you'll have another chance to get her over the line. 

The #general chat was funny to read during this poll. Thanks to everyone for taking part ...

Next Model Poll #33 - Grand Finals

It happened again... Nika and Rosalina tie with both 39% of the vote and after tier weighting. 

It's mad how close these polls get. We've had so many that are won by just a handful of votes and I think this is the 3rd tie? The fact that it's 111111 on top of that is just nuts.

So here we go - Grand Finals time!  

It's going to be a quick 24 hour turnaround...

Oni Projects - Gamora

Here is the ninth model in the Oni Project series. Came across this model by Mavixtious and thought it would be an appropriate time to port it! I was actually  quite tempted to port a different model for this month and might still do depending on if I have the time, but I do like how this one has  ported across.

For the hair, It's quite rare I end up doing models with hair like this. I think it's ported over quite well as a CUA and will def...

Next Model Poll #33 - Finals

Here are your Top 3! Full results including tier-weighting can be found attached.

Quite a comfortable top 3 as well, with 4th place receiving half the votes of 3rd place. 

We have a nice variety to choose from for the final with each filling the 3 model types we're used to. I've noted that Rosa is a koikatsu model so you know what to expect since it's not obvious fro...

Next Model Poll #33 - Prelims

Here are your nominations for Next Model Poll #33!

Hope everyone's having a nice weekend. We have a bit of a theme with this one 👀 But that doesn't necessarily mean it'll be reflected in the results. Sometimes less is more when it comes to model variety and the spread of votes so we'll see how this one goes!

Release - Fexa

Here is the third launch model for May 🙌 Courtesy of a kind patron.

Another one from the FNAF collection by Cryptia Curves. Again, really nice models to work with.

The model includes the outfit shown in the screenshot above as well as a swimsuit outfit. The model's hair is CUA with physics applied so that it  moves about nicely in motion. The shoulder fur is VAM clothing, the  other parts are built into the morph. They look best with smooth passes set...

Release - Gwen

Here is the second launch model for May 🙌 Courtesy of Link404! Big thanks to them for allowing this one to be a public release.

This  model type is always quite enjoyable to port and translated over well. The model includes the outfit shown in the screenshot. The skirt has two options, one with a more rigid shape as on the original model. The  other has VAM physics applied so that it drapes down more.

The hair is CUA with physics applied and there are...

Release - Alikira

Here is the first launch model for May 🙌 Courtesy of Chris!

This one has been a long time coming. They always did really well in the polls but just fell short of getting the win. So make sure to thank  Chris for making it happen! They've helped a lot of models get ported which is always appreciated. Also to WarfareMachine for making the model and allowing it to be ported!

The  model comes with everything shown in the screenshot above. The armor  ...

Release - Yrel

Here is the winner of Next Model Poll #32!

Quite a simple model to port this time round (I'm not complaining!). No outfit included, but there are some additions with the hair, horns, and tail. These are best suited for CUAs so i've imported them in with physics so that they move about  nicely in motion.

I was hoping to find the classic two handed mace but wasn't able to find a single DL for it. I'm sure it's in one of the big weapon packs but that's a lot to ...

Winner #32 - Yrel

Yrel takes the win for Next Model Poll #32!

A very respectable amount of votes for Ashley and Elizabeth, but Yrel ends up with the win with a pretty comfortable lead. I can see the other two doing well in future polls with counts like that though.

I've made a start on Yrel and will have it ready for tomorrow so keep an eye out! 

Thanks again for voting and better luck next time for those that didn't win 🙏

Release - Hapi

Here's a bonus release for this month, courtesy of JC318!

There are 3 outfits included, as shown in the above screenshot. They've been split up into multiple pieces so that you can customise them a bit. Also included hairstyles that match each of the outfits. They have rigging so that they move about in motion except for the three hopes hair as the rigging on that was was a bit off.

The skin textures have also been adjusted to better match the colour and saturatio...

We actually broke the record for highest number of votes during a prelim stage.

Here are your nominations for Next Model Poll #32!

Putting this together was an absolute battle 😅 Either my mouse or my computer was trolling me by clicking off things as if I had an auto-clicker macro running or something. 

Anyway, back with a big selection! Some of these are wild lol I don't know where you guys find these models but here we are.

Release - Agape

Here is the Winner of Next Model Poll #31!

These types of models are always quite a fun challenge to do. I thought the long neck would pose problems in VAM but it looks like it's ported over quite well. The skin colour can be changed by using the colour slider in the skin tab. 

The normal texture for the skin didn't port over too well so I made my own instead using the diffuse.

Release (Bonus Archive) - Midna

It's been too long!

We're well overdue adding some more content to the bonus archive, so i've gone back and had a look at what I can release and came across this. You might be familiar with the imp version that I ported, but I actually did this one even before that but never got around to releasing it. 

The hair for this is all VAM clothing which imported quite nicely. There are two styles included, one with the tails tied in the front, and the other with them round the back....

Winner #31 Redo - Agape

Here is the winner of Next Model Poll #31! For real this time...

Thanks so much everyone for participating in this redo poll on such short notice. We got 142 votes which is great turnout compared to the usual 170ish for the 1.5/2 day polls. 

It was super close pretty much the entire way to the end. Agape ends up taking it with a win on both majority and weighting. 

I'll be making a start on this immediately and will look to have it done by...

Next Model Poll #31 - Finals (Redo)

A.K.A "I didn't hear no bell"

Well, bad news. As those of you who've kept up on the general chat over the past week or so will know, the Chica model that was nominated was a store model.

This evening, I bought the Chica model assuming it was fine to port - but after doing so, there was a readme.txt file inside that essentially says no porting... So, unfortunately I won't be able...

Winner #31 - Chica

16.04 Update: No longer valid - See post above for details.

Here is the winner of Next Model Poll #31!

After a very close opening day, Chica started to pull ahead and eventually came out with quite a comfortable win!

Still a respectable amount of votes for the other two. I reckon they both have a good shot in future polls. Love the design of all of these really.

Bit busy at the moment so it will most likely be next week when I get a chance t...

Oni Project - Bunny Penny

Here is the eighth model in the Oni Project series. I'd be looking for something to do and came across this and thought it was fitting for Easter!

There are multiple variants included of the bunny suit. I'd recommend using the "SubD" one for any kind of animations as it'll help prevent any clipping. Also thanks for the hep in Discord finding the hip sway dance - put together a nice little GIF with that 😅 You can find it in the Discord or at the hub link below.

Unbelievable results in the prelims. We were incredibly close to a 3-way-tie for the Top 3 spots! I don't know if it'll ever get that close again in the prelims. Pretty nuts...

Better luck next time to those that didn't make it through.

The 3 we got all look pretty great in my opinion,...
