HS2 Aoi (VF5US) WIP

I may prefer the studio over HS2 main game, but I always make sure to pick personality that closely fits the character. For this case we have perfectly suitable one for Aoi.

Anyway, still have expressions and other things to do but so far it's a relatively smooth process.

Poll Winner & Plan (June 2023)

Aoi Umenokoji from Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown won the poll

I'm surprised with her overwhelming victory, she (and Virtua Fighter in general) has a lot more fans than I expected. VF5US used Dragon Engine like Yakuza/RGG games and y'all know I'm very familiar with that.

As for other projects, I was planning to do Hunnigan to follow Ada and Ashley as first release, but I'll save her f...

[Honey Select 2] Bayonetta 3 Summon Form Hair Mod Public Preview

This is extra hair mod for Bayonetta 3 head mod I released a while ago. Just a hair set (back+front) with some chains and gems as integrated accessories. Read the release post for more info.

Usually for alternate hair like this I made it as Patreon exclusive release but since this is actually a commission then it will follow the usual release pattern like full head mods.

[Honey Select 2] Bayonetta (Bayonetta 3) Summon Form Hair Mod

This is actually part of Bayonetta 3 commission I released a while back. So obviously despite being separate pack, remember that this hair is made for my Bayonetta head mod and compatibility with other head mod or HS2 vanilla head is NOT guaranteed. You'll also need GDC's Bayonetta 3 outfit seen in the preview.

Requirements: Bayonetta head mod

[Honey Select 2] Jessie's Mother Public Preview & Character Profile

(This is public preview, to download the mod check the other post)

About the character 

This is a commissioned project, and yes she doesn't have a name. Even I inconsistently switched around between "Jessie's Mom" and "Jessie's Mother". I kinda forgot that I actually did Jessie herself for HS2 lol, I thought I only did for HS1. 

[Honey Select 2] Jessie's Mother (Final Fantasy VII Remake) Character Mod (Next-Gen Shader Pack Included)

This is commissioned project. I recommend realistic body skin mod like nyaacho's or K1T0-K1TN's to match the head. If you have overlay or something for body wrinkles that will be great too but I don't have any right now.

Requirements:

*Made and tested with DX version, if you're non-DX user and have problem loading the card, then please update your game to DX version first*

Honey Select 2 Character Poll May 2023

Before we begin I'd like to say that I can not accept suggestion for the poll. Thank you for your passion and support but I don't want to put characters I'm not familiar with and then struggled working on it when it eventually win.

And so, new poll this month, and the entries are:

Ruka Minazuki from Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse

Next Release WIP

Now it's commissioned project turn, and this one is something that I bet nobody would expect. The character is from Final Fantasy VII Remake, it's Jessie-

"But you already did Jessie!" you may said

Whoa, let me finish, I mean Jessie's mother 

Yes, unlike Cloud's or Aerith's (both) mom she doesn't even have a name. But the model is pretty good. I've done basic porting ...

[Honey Select 2] Misaki Aso Public Preview & Character Profile

(This is public preview, to download the mod check the other post)

Profile 

The model feels very familiar to me because it's exactly like Dead Or Alive 5, something I tinkered a lot in XPS days. Funny how I deemed DOA5 models to be high-end back then but now, I have to replace some of the meshes because of their poor quality. 

[Honey Select 2] Misaki Aso (Fatal Frame: Mask Of Lunar Eclipse) Character Mod (Next-Gen Shader Pack Included)

The model quality is exactly like that of Dead Or Alive 5, with a bit higher res textures being a remaster. I had to replace teeth, tongue, and eyelashes mesh from Dynasty Warriors 9 (specifically Zhang Chunhua) because the original meshes are not good.

[Honey Select 2] Ashley Graham (Resident Evil 4 Remake) Public Preview

Just like Ada, this is a collaboration with GetDownCrazy, the outfit you see here is included in the pack. Unfortunately we couldn't get the scarf to work but everything else is there. Check out GDC's Patreon for the coordinate and more good stuff.

As mentioned in my WIP posts, biggest hurdle is the hair and the usual asymmetry from this kind of face scanned model. I think this kind of compl...

HS2 Ashley WIP(2)

Still doing her expressions right now, it's slow because of its complexity. But two things I want to point out. First, is that due to the way HS2 handle eyebrows, I can't use meshes included in the base model. I had to create approximation, and also positioned it manually. May not 100% perfect, but just in case I left the baked one in face texture so you can use that as a guide should you want to tweak the eyebrows further.

Other thing is the hair, you may noticed the solid black strand...

Honey Select 2 Ashley (Resident Evil 4 Remake) WIP

I was hoping to have release at 5th just like Ada last month but unfortunately that's way too unrealistic. Worse I spent two days tinkering with my PC upgrades so I couldn't do any HS2 work. Still, I just managed to do the basic porting today.

Now here's an example why you can't just use things like textures from base model and  put it in HS2 hoping it will work.

Yeah the hair is not...

Poll Winner & Plan (May 2023)

Misaki Aso from Fatal Frame Mask of Lunar Eclipse won the poll

As for other project, well you guys keep asking for Ashley from Resident Evil 4 Remake so yeah she's in the works

Done working with the neck cut so far, you'll hear me out complaining about asymmetrical mesh again. And while it's not ...

[Honey Select 2] Kiriko Public Preview

(This is public preview, to download the mod check the other post)

The new girl from Overwatch 2. I'm not familiar with the character, but this is a commissioned project. I worked on Mei before, and I think this one is a little better. Still a lot to fix and change to adapt to HS2. Overall I'm still not enthusiastic working on Overwatch characters.

Just recently GDC made the outfit (which existed long before this project started) free to public so you can download it 2023-04-29 13:51:36 +0000 UTC View Post

[Honey Select 2] Kiriko (Overwatch 2) Character Mod (Next-Gen Shader Pack Included)

This is a commissioned project. The bandana thing is separate accessory that you can remove. Bandana-less hair doesn't look really great in my opinion, but the option is there. The red cheek mark is makeup entry so I don't have approximate the position like if it's face tattoo or wasting overlay slot.

GDC made Kiriko outfit and it's already public recently so you can get the outfit set mod from GDC's Patreon post...

Honey Select 2 Character Poll April 2023

Remaining two and we will have new entries next month. Reason for small entries for this poll is to have quick turn around and no unpopular character languished at the bottom of the poll for months, cruelly denying those few who pick said character of getting it done. Okay that's bit overdramatic, other reason is that I often can't come up with long list of characters fit for the poll.

Oryo from Like A Dragon: Ishin

[Honey Select 2] Zhang Chunhua Public Preview & Character Profile

(This is public preview, to download the mod check the other post)

About the character 

This is the last remaining character from the previous poll. Personally I found her hair from DW8 to be less generic but this one from DW9 isn't bad either. I'll port the informal hair version later too. 

[Honey Select 2] Zhang Chunhua (Dynasty Warriors 9) Character Mod (Next-Gen Shader Pack Included)

Hair accessory is part of the hair. Not much else than that, this is a pretty straightforward mod.

Mid-April 2023 Update

I was ecstatic when I managed to release 2 mods just in first 10 days of the month, but right after releasing Elisabeth I fell ill. I think it was a stomach flu, but thankfully right now I am fully recovered. Still, that's some wasted unproductive days. Moving on, it should be commission turn after that but the client is slow in responding so I pushed it back and start on another project.

About the character 

Here's the poll winner. Elisabeth Blanctorche from King of Fighters XV. After the asymmetric nightmare that was Ada, it's nice to work on something much simpler. The UV is problematic though, had to stitch and massively rearrange the chin and neck border area. By the way, that lone lock of ha...

Not much different than other KOF mod so far. With hair being short and easy to handle, my biggest hurdle was rearranging the face UV.

About Ada RE4R Mod That Just Updated

Hello, just quick explanation for the update on Ada mod. First of all, it's not fixing anything on the mod itself or adding anything new. The mod is fine as it is. However I found out a list file contain leftover from previous mod that shouldn't be there referencing file that does not exist.

This means that Ada mod itself is unaffected, but if you have the mod you will have "Mirei Park" hair entry in your game that is empty. If you have my previously released Otose mod, you will have tw...

[Honey Select 2] Ada Wong (Resident Evil 4 Remake) Public Preview

It's the lady in red dress from the hottest game right now, I don't think we need introduction to this character.

We're back with collaboration with GetDownCrazy, the outfit you see here is included in the pack. It's awesome and colorable, for example I set it to darker red than what GDC sent me (last preview pic). Maybe it's too dark but hey, you can change them to fit your setup or even entirely different color. Check out 2023-04-04 09:04:36 +0000 UTC View Post
