Poll Winner and Plan

First, Kunimitsu from Tekken 7 won the poll

I just did Anna last time, so I'll make Kunimitsu as second release of the month. As for first release, it's someone who was in older poll but never won but I said that I'll do the remaining characters and that time is now.

Seong Hui Update v1.5 (Next-Gen Shader Pack Included)

What started as simple update project turned into partial rebuild. I like this character though so I went all out. There are still problems I'm not able to solve, for 2.0 maybe? Oh well, this one has extensive fix on head mesh, textures, and expressions. Like Nina, she has new eye shadow mesh and with that new cards for new eye coordinates. I also made it that her neck to be thickened like Vanessa and Anna. This is because I think it's more accurate to the original model. See here:

W-I-P

I'm currently working on updating Seong Hui, mostly on base textures and expressions but also making her Next-Gen shader compatible textures. Unfortunately I'm running into neck seam problem right now, hopefully I can release it before this month end. Because then the poll will end and I have to start working on next month's project. Not because I want to squeeze in another content this month since as an update it will be free right away.

That's all for now I guess, and uh, reminder for...

[Honey Select 2] Anna Williams Public Preview & Character Profile

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

Profile from Wiki 

Anna is Nina's sister but also lifelong rival, always competing for anything. Thanks to a commission now the Williams sisters can continue their battle in HS2. Actually default appearance for Anna in Tekken 7 has slightly different hair with parting line in the left bangs.

[Honey Select 2] Anna Williams (Tekken 7) Character Mod (NG Shader Pack Included)

This is a commission. Similar problem with Tekken models as before, now I replace the teeth with a better one just like I did with Lidia. I also implemented same technique to make it possible to thicken the neck to be more accurate like I did with Vanessa. But as always I include card version with normal neck too. For Next-Gen Shader I include textures necessary for version 2 of the shader along with the instruction (please read it). I only include one card as example for version only because...

Honey Select 2 Poll (July 2021)

Same rules as usual, we have one week.

BUT instead of removing Rose because Menat won as before, I keep her this time. This is because the number is getting smaller and I'm curious on who will win between the big three. But of course if anyone wanna vote for the Yakuza girls then you can do that as well, poor Yuki and Koyuki need some love too.

HS2 Anna Williams (Tekken 7) WIP

Thanks to a commission, Nina will get to face her sister/rival soon

[Honey Select 2] Menat Public Preview & Character Profile

Pofile from the wiki 

Here's your poll winner. Quite a while after my last Street Fighter mods, kinda fun and less stressful than Tekken mods although I had to fix few things.

Unfortunately though I can't include Next-Gen Shader pack with this release. I have decided to support both v1 and v2 of the shader but I'm not feeling so well. I think I'm recovering right now but while doing familiar w...

[Honey Select 2] Menat (Street Fighter V) Character Mod

Two hair styles included, one with the circlet and another one without. Reason why I don't just made the circlet separate accessory is because the hair need some indentation for the circlet to fit properly. Also original model of Menat has her with long slender neck, and thus I provided long neck version and normal version, you all know the drill by now.

For v1.0 release I'm not including Next-Gen Shader textures pack for reasons I will explain in preview post. Will update later, maybe ...

HS2 Menat WIP and about Next-Gen Shader

Been a while since my last Street Fighter mod. Good news is that Menat's neck size is almost the same as HS2 head so I don't need the same trick used in Vanessa. I think she'll benefit from some neck lengthening though. Anyway I haven't done her expression yet so that's why she's staring blankly like that. I did the make-up first because she looks off without them. I'm gonna port another hair without the circlet from another source as optional alternate hair, because if I remove the circlet f...

[Honey Select 2] Vanessa Lewis Public Preview & Character Profile

Profile from the wiki 

I'm so happy that Virtua Fighter 5 is remade with Dragon Engine. Not only that we get much better quality character model, but I'm very familiar with that engine and has ported a lot of Yakuza games characters that used said engine. However, I had technical difficulties that never happened previously to Yakuza characters but thankfully I managed to fix most of them. I ...

[Honey Select 2] Vanessa Lewis (Virtua Fighter 5) Character Mod (+Accessories)

Virtua Fighter 5 was recently remade with Dragon Engine that also used in recent Yakuza games. And indeed its file structure is very similar to Yakuza games, they even blatantly reused some textures from those games. The models at a glance built the same way so I thought it will be as easy as porting Yakuza models. But then I found some weird things like weight error that I have to fix myself. Anyway I managed to find method for model to have thicker and more accurate neck using ABMX. But if ...

Poll Winner & Plan

First, Menat won the poll

I'm working on another character right now, so Menat will be second release of the month. After that, we'll see. Maybe another commission, and I will contact those in the waiting list.

When I release update for Nina few days ago, I realized she was released exactly a year ago. She was my second HS2 mod ever after Kaoru, so Kaoru was few weeks before that meaning ...

[Honey Select 2] Nina Williams (Tekken 7) UPDATE (Including Next-Gen Shader Pack)

EDIT: THIS VERSION IS OUTDATED, GET NEWER VERSION FROM RELEASE POST

(Since this is just update to an old mod that's already went public, the update is public too)

I made some updates to Nina, my second HS2 mod. I don't have set order on which mod I will update, just on a whim and this time it's Nina's turn. The hair has been bothering me so I used new shader same as Katarina and update the textures. Now it's less flat and shiny foil and more like proper h...

[Honey Select 2] Reina Public Preview & Character Profile

Profile from Wiki 

This is Reina from Yakuza Kiwami, she was in Yakuza 0 too but with different hair. I think the face is the same because yay for assets reuse. She's a bartender of her own bar called Serena and played important role in both games. I'm not gonna tell what happened to her since it's a spoiler so play the game to find out (her profile linked above has spoiler lol).

This is a commission...

[Honey Select 2] Reina (Yakuza Kiwami) Character Mod

This is a commission. Unlike other Yakuza mods I made this one is from older engine so I had to put more work for the hair. The rest is not much different.

Honey Select 2 Poll (June 2021)

I almost forgot, again. But made it in time, kinda. Same rules as usual, we have one week.

And as usual if a character from a series won, another from same series will be taken off temporarily. So since Katarina won last time, Kunimitsu is not available this month. But she will return next month just like Scarlet returning this time.

[Honey Select 2] Katarina Alves Public Preview & Character Profile

Profile from Wiki 

Here's your poll winner. I like Katarina as character, and the more I work on her model the more I realize how beautiful she is. Too bad Tekken's low-poly model kinda hold that design back but eh I'll take what I can have. This time I include her glasses and the small tattoo below her belly button. Both applied on included card but I decided not to show her glasses in the previe...

[Honey Select 2] Katarina Alves (Tekken 7) Character Mod (Glasses+Tattoo+NG Shader Pack Included)

Like other Tekken model Katarina here is pretty low-poly but I like the end result. Other than some difficulties with the hair and teeth, it was a pretty straightforward porting process. Glasses and tattoo included.

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] Mizuki McCloud Public Preview & Character Profile

Profile from Wiki 

Mizuki is probably the least known among Ryu Hayabusa's harem, especially since the game she came from is not highly regarded compared to other Ninja Gaiden games. But even so I remember playing that game; Ayane is always number 1 and Irene is kinda cool but Mizuki as leading lady is great too. I wish she appeared more in other Team Ninja games but in few days Ninja Gaiden ...

[Honey Select 2] Mizuki McCloud (Ninja Gaiden 3) Character Mod (NG Shader Pack Included)

Mizuki here has the same enhancement I did to Miyako, that is new teeth and tongue model and redrawn eyebrows because the original is so blurry. 

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*

Poll Winner & WIP

Katarina from Tekken 7 won the poll

Hopefully not as difficult as my last Tekken mod.

And Mizuki progressed nicely, she's similar to Miyako but a bit easier and needing less fix. Expect her very soon.

This Month's Plan & Stuff

The poll is still ongoing so no winner announcement right now, but I just want to write some stuff. About last month, you may notice that none of the releases were commission project. What happened was that I contacted some people in the waiting list, one cancelled while the others didn't respond. While waiting for those responses I experimented on Paine, but then it got far enough and thus I decided to finish that instead as my 3rd release of the month.

Sounds like I missed my chance t...

[Honey Select 2] Paine Public Preview & Character Profile

Profile from Wiki 

Paine is the least likely to get modernized version like appearing in Dissidia, so PS2 version is the only thing we have for now. Granted, I used base model from HD Remaster version for this. I thought it's not that bad, maybe I can enhance it and here we are. The meshes are subdivided, textures enhanced, some meshes like teeth and tongue are completely replaced with better ones. I...

[Honey Select 2] Paine (Final Fantasy X-2) Character Mod (NG Shader Pack Included)

This is basically enhanced PS2 model, so don't expect the same quality as models from newer games. I did my best to upgrade everything but still can't get it to match the look from FMV/rendered promo images because (I believe) they used completely different model than the gameplay version here. But gameplay model is the one we see the most, and here it is upgraded as much as possible.

Requirements:

*Made and tested with DX version, used DX element (personality...
