Next Model Poll #31 - Prelims

Here are your nominations for Next Model Poll #31!

Hope everyone is having a good week so far and looking forward to the weekend.

We're back to a big selection again for this one and have quite a lot of newcomers this time round. There's one here that looks like a crazy one to port but i'll leave you to guess which one i'm talking about! It's definitely one i'd only allow...

Release - Meowscarada

Here is the third launch model for April 🙌 Courtesy of SilentSlayer48!

This one was an interesting one to port. It's got those thicc proportions and a custom specular texture to recreate the glossiness that the original model had around the dark green parts of the legs.

The floppy parts are CUA with physics so that they move about nicely in motion. The mask is also CUA and removable to reveal the face underneath.

Release - The Snow Queen

Here is the second launch model for April 🙌

Back to a classic with this one. The main outfit from the screneshot above is included. The hair is also VAM clothing this time round, so no CUAs involved. There are two options for the hair, one with physics and one without.

Always liked how these types of models port over to VAM and expression morphs work nicely with them as well!

Release - Amy

Here is the first launch model for April 🙌 Courtesy of some kind patrons.

This has been a long-time coming. Amy made it to the finals multiple times in the patron polls but kept coming up short. I'd been asked to port it a few times and eventually accepted on the condition that I have no idea how it was gonna turn out 😅

The eyes were a big challenge but I think they've turned out quite well considering.  What actually ended up not porting over too...

Release - MH Twins

Here is the winner of Next Model Poll #30!

Thought I was going to regret saying i'd be able to get this out today, but just about managed! It's almost 00:00 here 😅

Always liked the design of these two from animations i've seen - that's probably where a lot of their popularity comes from. The model used included the outfit above so that's what i've ported over. The kimono from the screenshot below isn't included, it's just something I had from a while back.

Winner #30 - MH Twins

Here is the winner of Next Model Poll #30!

It's a new record for the polls! The MH twins have absolutely smashed the previous record of 150 set by Ahri in poll #27. We've had a few get very close to that 150 mark but never this high before. 

The results stayed pretty similar to the prelims with Alikira being a closer match but not quite making it this time. 

Since there's little time left in the month, I had to take a gamble and s...

Next Model Poll #30 - Finals

Here are your Top 3 for Next Model Poll #30! Full results including tier-weighting can be found attached.

The prelims were a bit of a wipeout with Alikira and the MH Twins sweeping up most of the vote. I think the MH Twins might have taken the highest score for any prelims we've done. 

Doberman was the best of the rest and takes the final spot in the...

Next Model Poll #30 - Prelims

The big 3-0!

Here are the nominations for Next Model Poll #30!

Bit more of a compressed selection this time round, should make things interesting. We had some duplicate submissions as well as one notable exclusion. Amy is in the works so hasn't been included here. 

Prelims End Date: Saturday 25 March - 10:00am GMT

Release - Pichi

Here is the winner of Next Model Poll #29!

After a super close back and forth in the final few hours, she ends up taking the win over Alikira and Taokaka.

You might recognise this model from the Bowsette model I ported over recently. Same creator I believe! - Kabalmystic.

There  were some challenges porting this one, mainly the eyes, but happy with  how it turned out overall. The outfit is all VAM clothing except the  head parts and gem on the...

Winner #29 - Peach

Here is the winner of Next Model Poll #29!

After a super close back and forth in the final few hours, Peach ends up taking the win over Alikira and Taokaka.

A pretty impressive first appearance from Alikira - bit unlucky to lose with a score as high as 129. Positive sign for the future though if they make it through again. Taokaka just had some stiff competition this time but still made it to the finals after doing so previously. 

I'll be making a start...

Next Model Poll #29 - Finals

Here are your finalists! The full results including tier-weighting can be found attached. 

Better luck next time to those that missed out!

Both Taokaka and Peach make a return to the finals to join newcomer Alikira. Peach came close quite recently, but has stiff competition in Alikira who has stormed the prelims. 

Taokaka has been right up there as well, missing out to per...

Updated - Next Model Poll #29 - Prelims

Update - Tali got missed from the poll so i'm reposting and adding a few hours. Make sure to vote again so it can be counted!

Here are your picks for Next Model Poll #29!

Hope you're all having a good start to the month. For the first poll this month, we're kicking things off with quite a few finalists from previous rounds along ...

Release - KDA Ahri

Here is the second launch model for March 🙌 Courtesy of Link404!

It's been at least a few days since the last Ahri port which is unacceptable, so here's another! This time the KDA style.

For the model itself, the outfit is entirely VAM clothing. The hair and tail are CUAs with physics applied so that they move about nicely in motion.

Release - Hoodwink

Here is the first launch model for March 🙌 Courtesy of Ferty!

Been wanting to release this one for a little while and now seemed like a good time. Really pleased with how this one turned out, it's a really  nicely designed model.

The  model contains everything in the screenshot. The body fur is VAM clothing so can be turned on and off easily. The ears and hood are CUA with physics applied so that they move about nicely in motion.

Oni Projects - Asagi

Here is the seventh model in the Oni Project series. This one is a classic! I had ported another character from the series a while back, but this time it's the main protagonist!

There are two outfits included along with many colour variations available. The base outfit contains 3 colours as well as a separate leotard version of the bodysuit. There is also the Kunoichi outfit which comes in 4 colours. Both outfits are split into pieces so that they can  be mixed and...

Release - Cynthya

Here is the winner of Next Model Poll #28!

I actually had quite a lot of trouble porting this one as the model was pretty tailored to the blender shader setup that Banchouforte uses and didn't want to translate easily  over to Unity / VAM. So much so that i'll actually be considering  whether to put a disclaimer on these if they get nominated again 😅

There are two scenes included. One with the hair as a static CUA with the  correct shading, and a...

Winner #28 - Cynthya

Here is the winner of Next Model Poll #28, the first type-specific poll!

Cynthya takes the win with a very impressive 145. The fact she scored that highly in a top 4 is pretty incredible. You gotta think that could have been a record breaker if it was a top 3 instead!

Better luck next time to Aisha, Mirage, and Peach. Again, considering it was a top 4, they all got respectable scores. I could definitely see them winning in a diff...

Oni Projects - Dva

Here is the sixth model in the Oni Project series. Spent a bit of  time deciding what to do for this one and came across this model. What convinved me to do it was the mech it came with! Super cool and made me want to make the screenshot of her sitting on the cannon!

The model comes with a customisable outfit. The suit is in multiple  parts than can be added / removed as you wish. There is also a single  suit which contains all the pieces attached as a si...

Model Poll #28 - Finals

Here are your Top 4!? The full results including tier-weighting can be found attached.

It was a very close race for third, and we actually ended up with a tie! Cynthia and Mirage make it through to join Aisha and Peach in the finals. I want to say this is the first time it's happened in the prelims? Should make for an interesting finals.

Finals End Date: ...

Next Model Poll #28 (Anime) - Prelims

Here are the nominations for Next Model Poll #28!

Thanks for all of your submissions. This is the first type-specific poll we've done. The theme this time round is Humanoid Anime. We've got a nice mix of styles for this category includi...

Release - Ahri

Here is the winner of Next Model Poll #27!

Back to a classic with this one. I've ported two different versions of the character but never the original model like this. The outfit is entirely VAM clothing. The tails are CUA with physics so they move about in  motion. You have the option of displaying all nine tails, or just a single tail.

The hair is CUA with physics applied. There is also collision with the head and chest so it shouldn't clip in motion.

Release - Yae

What better model for a bonus release this month!  Always loved this character and I was fortunate enough to have the chance to port her.
