Zafina WIP Update

She's almost ready, just need some tweaking and testing. Hopefully release tomorrow. The earrings will be included, they have dynamic bones and two adjustable colors. Not the necklace though, it's far too complex. However, HS by default has some exotic accessories you can use as seen here. They're pretty alright.

Poll Result + Zafina WIP Update

Hilde won the poll. Unlike last time, there isn't much difference between total number of votes with total number multiplied with Patron's level.

I'm surprised that Deborah made it last, somehow I thought she's kinda popular but maybe her mutant spider version is the popular one not the boring human on...

Next Month (February 2020) Plan

As you all know, Roy12 ported all Tekken 7 ladies to HS. Except Zafina. I didn't plan to port her, but I got commissioned for the project so if you want Zafina, rejoice.

Next confirmed is Kolin as the last SFV character but maybe like Falke I'll put her at the end of the month.

Then of course the poll winner, and finally another one still in consideration.

So that's the plan for nex...

[Honey Select] Falke (Street Fighter V) Character Mod (+Hat)

I like Falke, she's cool. That's all I can say since Falke is relatively new character there isn't much lore about her. As always I thought this gonna be easy but ended up finding difficulty, this time the hair. The bangs used to look weird  in certain lighting condition but I managed to (hopefully) fix the problem in the last minute. Was pretty miffed that HS doesn't have bo staff I can pose her with for the preview, but then I realized I can just take basic cylinder and scale it into a...

[Honey Select] New Character Poll (February)

Added Deborah to replace Helena. Replaced Cassandra with Mi-Na for reasons I stated in this post. Also because I realized I have other character I like more from Soul Calibur. But I may add Cassandra back later. I had some ambitious plan for this poll before but with difficulties and delays I have this month, I don't feel like adding more and branching to other series, hopefully next month will be better.

[Honey Select] Nico Preview

(This post will be deleted once actual release post becomes public)

[Honey Select] Nicoletta Goldstein (Devil May Cry V) Character Mod (+Tattoo)

This is a commission. I did Lady before so this time it's less experimental but still, more fixes to do. The hardest challenge is making expressions right as the character is very expressive so gotta do her justice. Well, at least as possible within HS limitation. I also spend a long time porting the tattoos and trying to fit something from one UV map to completely different one is a nightmare. Plus I want them to be in color so I also need to set the color balance correctly. I've included th...

Nico WIP And Overall Update

So it's 20th already and this month I'm lagging behind, usually I already released my 4th mod of the month but now even the 3rd is not released yet. Not a good way to start the year but my excuse is that all three models worked on this month have their own set of challenges. Plus many unexpected things happened in my life that impacted my modding time and mood.

But good news is that Nico is almost finished, just waiting for feedback from the commissioner. Hopefully I can release her ver...

[Honey Select] Helena Harper (Resident Evil 6) Character Mod

Helena has the same problem with Jill: it's tough to get her face looks right. I think it's because her unconventional face shape so depending on lighting and angle the face may look too wide and the chin look big. The textures too must be balanced between clean and preserving details. In the end I'm satisfied with how she looks in character creation mode, in studio she looks great with proper lighting as well. Anyway this kind of problem is why I'm hesitant to work on western-type faces sinc...

I can't seem to edit tier access...

So I just realized that I forgot to change Olive's access to $5, should have been on the 9th. Sorry for that. BUT when I tried to edit that page today, I can't edit the tier access, the button just won't respond. It's not greyed out or anything. I don't get it. Hopefully it's just error in Patreon and won't last long. In the meantime if you're $5 patron and want access to Olive just PM me.

EDIT: Seems to be widespread issue:

HS Helena Harper WIP

It's going pretty well but I have some difficulty on getting the face right, kinda remind me the situation with Jill. As you can see the face texture is kinda dirty, I want to clean it up but cleaning it too much will result in bland featureless face. I have to keep some details on. The hair is pretty much done, but maybe later I'll get back to it and try to minimize the clipping. If not then I'll just blame HS' wonky hair physics.

Announcement and Stuff

If anyone wondering why my post about certain debacle is set to patron-only, that's because I don't want to drag non-patron who visit this place to download the mods into the mess. So don't worry about it.

Thanks to my patrons who care and kind enough to alert me about the issue.

Anyway, I don't want this post to be about just that so I'll use the chance to announce that I'm set on making Helena Harper as second release this month.

About Certain Someone Selling My Mods

So a certain patreon account ran by someone name KameronFox is caught selling mods from me, Roy12, and others in outrageous price. Like, you have to pledge $100 tier to get the chara cards. It may not obvious from the front page of that patreon but from other places where he peddling his stuff he clearly ask people to PM him to "download the model". Someone on the modders' circle has evidence that when people did PM him to get access to the model, yes he's demanding $100.

Now after he g...

[Honey Select] Olive Preview

(This post will be deleted once actual release post becomes public)

From Astral Chain. Nobody asked for this but doing this kind of obscure character at whim is the reason I got into modding in the first place. Still, doing commissions and subjects decided by community is also fun and rewarding plus I learned a lot too so that's that.

The one on the right is example of using anime skintexmod.

[Honey Select] Olive Espinosa (Astral Chain) Character Mod (+Accessories)

This is Olive Espinosa from Astral Chain, one of my favorite games from last year. She's probably has the most anime-aesthetics out of my other mods, I recommend using anime style cel-shading skintexmod if you have one. Includes earring and the headset but unfortunately I can't find a way to make the headset light glows.

Poll Result And Plan (January)

Happy new year to you all, and here's the result of the last poll.

First, total number of votes

Helena leads over Cassandra by comfortable margin while both dominated over the rest of entries (poor Hunnigan).

But number of votes isn't the only determining factor of this poll though, as I mentioned patrons' vote will have multiplier equal to their patronage level (even $1 patrons hav...

[Honey Select] Nuwa (Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate) Character Mod (+Accessories)

This was a commission. We started this month with a goddess, and we'll end it with another goddess. Unfortunately I couldn't find WO4 version of the model, so I ended up using the WO3U version. Judging by Athena, it wouldn't be that different but at least Athena's textures are twice bigger than the hopelessly low-res WO3 textures. I had to redraw almost everything, but another problem is the UV map that got screwed up when I subdivide and smooth the meshes. Which I need to do because like Ath...

Updates & Future Plan

So we're close to the end of the month and also the year. There's still one more HS mod to release before the month ends. I'm working on three mods right now with two close to finish and one being long-term project. One of the nearly completed models will be released this month, not sure if the second one can. Both are pretty obscure characters so I'm sorry I can't celebrate the year's end with special mods. But with the current poll getting a lot of attention, we'll celebrate the new beginni...

So I Just Realized Something...

That I set the new poll to public, when it's supposed to be Patrons only. Oh well, it's too late now. Just think it's my Christmas gift to you all. Maybe it can convince those who still on the fence to join.

But I promised access to poll as patrons' perk. So to make it up $1 tier Patrons will have bigger multiplier than usual to differentiate them from non-Patrons. But for you non-Patrons out there don't hesitate to vote, as even one vote still can be decisive factor overall.

[Honey Select] New Character Poll

As I mentioned before I'm ending Street Fighter poll since only two remaining, so I'll just decide by myself on what order I'll port those two. To replace that I was thinking to have a poll for characters from one specific game but that may not please everyone. Then I remember something, that other poll I used to have with characters from less popular games. Why not make something similar, but from popular series instead?

Each games will have two representatives that I personally picked...

[Honey Select] Lucia Preview

(This post will be deleted once actual release post becomes public)

[Honey Select] Lucia (Street Fighter V) Character Mod (+Accessories)

I may not that familiar with the character, but I think Lucia here is cute. I like the face including the freckles that survived the texture conversion. The hair isn't scalp-hugging type like most SF characters I've done but there's no scalp beneath it so upper-back portion of her head is hollow. No problem with the included hair of course, just take note if you want to pair it with another hair. Included police cap and sunglasses as accessories, they're separate so you can configure and reco...

[Honey Select] Excella Preview

(This post will be deleted once actual release post becomes public)

[Honey Select] Excella Gionne (Resident Evil 5) Character Mod

Excella here has three distinct features that I focused on. First, the hair that looks easy to port since there's no moving part. But being a scalp-hugging type it's tricky and time consuming due to stupid way HS connect the head to the neck. Next are the make-up, particularly the eye shadow. It's supposed to have glitter effect but can't really do that with the way HS handle make-up so I crank up the shine on eyelid area. May look weird without the eye shadow but eh. And lastly, what's a gau...

[Honey Select] Athena Preview

(This post will be deleted once actual release post becomes public)

From Warriors Orochi 4. Yes, I know many other modders have done her already but this was a commission.

[Honey Select] Athena (Warriors Orochi 4) Character Mod

This was a commission. I'm aware that no less than 3 other modders (that I know of) already made this mod, but then again being a commission, and fresh of Nene I thought I can do another character from Warriors series. Technical-wise she's the same as Nene, but somehow the blockiness is more pronounced. So unlike Nene I made the face mesh smoother. I don't know what other modders version have, so I can't say mine is better or something: I just do what I usually do.  Her costume is NOT in...

Lucia Won The Poll (And About Future Poll)

While Falke got slightly more votes, after calculating the patron level into equation Lucia won with narrow margin. So she'll be the Street Fighter character to have HS mod this month.

Now, what about the remaining two, Falke and Kolin? Don't worry, I'm gonna do them for completion sake. But since two option poll is not exciting, I'll just use my own judgement for the order between those two. 2019-12-04 02:05:19 +0000 UTC View Post

December Plan

Have I got your attention yet? After complaining how difficult it is working on Sheva, yet here I am planning to do another model from the same game. Well I suppose it'd be easier now that I have some experience and *that* hair definitely will be easier since no rigging necessary. Or so I think, we'll see.

So, Excella Gionne is in the plan for next month. Of course, the winner of Street Fighter...

[Honey Select] Nene Preview

(This post will be deleted once actual release post becomes public)

From Samurai Warriors 4/ Samurai Warriors 4-II

[Honey Select] Nene (Samurai Warriors 4) Character Mod

This was a commission. Samurai Warriors 4 models aren't really great technical-wise, slightly better than Dynasty Warriors 8 but not much. Certainly not in the level of DW9's much improved character models. But well, here she is. Low poly and textures aside I think she looks good enough in HS.
