This is update notes for the fixes I made for Haruka HS mod, the original post will be updated and linked here for the details of the update.
As mentioned before I found fatal flaw in Haruka model:
And so I fixed the ear texture issues:

None other than the OG fighting game babe herself, Chun-Li (Street Fighter V version). Expect her for early April release.
And if anyone ask whether it will be the classic hair bun style above or the sexy long hair the answer is both. I'm not gonna port the costume(s) but I'll try to port at least the iconic spiked armband and her earrings.
Haruka fixes will be released before that soon.<...
2019-03-29 06:16:58 +0000 UTC View PostSo I only found this recently
My bad for not checking the model from all angles but yeah that's one issue I can't ignore. Actually there are two, first is the mismatched ear texture, another is that one random black patch behind the left ear that I assume some stray UV mapping.
I'll use this chance to completely redo the face textures, major culprit here is the AO map but I'll revise the ...

I was expecting for Vanessa to be very similar to King technically but turned out I was very wrong. From UV layout to the hair mesh, they have very different styles in many places. It is as if the developer didn't set standard for the models in the same game and/or having different modelling team. Anyway, that means Vanessa here is not as trouble-free as I want to be.

Vanessa. Not the same Vanessa I made for XPS few days ago, this one is from King of Fighter XIV. I found King to be mostly trouble-free to work with, so since I have the mood I started to work on another KoF XIV character. However while it's not to the point of frustration, the model has some quirks that illustrate how inconsistent KoF XIV models are.

This was also a commission. I wish the base model is higher quality, but can't really do much about it. Dogtag and navel piercing are from her original design, but I added some "secret" piercings as optional items too.
I found KoF XIV models, or at least this one for now, are pleasant to work with. The face textures and hair layering didn't give me as much frustration as other model. But that also means they're pretty bland and uninspired, somewhat stuck in awkward phase between anime and realistic style. Also, do I ever mentioned I love female character in short hair? I love short hair. And before I forget, earrings (ear studs?) included.
A surprise, that you will soon find out. This may break the record if I can release it before Trish going public. What's the secret behind this speedy work? Well, it's uh, kinda cheating I guess. Like Haruka this model is something I started long ago, on and off for testing purposes and just sitting there in my WIP folder.
Then when finishing Trish I got in the mood to work on more HS mod. Plus I got frustrated with Trish's long hair and swear that I'd work on a model with short hair ju...

This is the first mod I got motivated to make because the costume exists. Therefore the character card will have non-vanilla assets for the outfit set as seen above. But the costume mod itself is a public release so shouldn't be a problem. To be honest, the hair can be better especially the rigging. So, sorry if it's not too optimal. Reminds me why I prefer shorter hair model. Also, it's kinda hard to make expressions that matched Trish's sexy image. I had to redo them multiple times. Wanted ...

I have the same problem as Lara for Trish here, that is making expression is difficult because facial weight painting in the original model isn't that good. Having her properly close her eyes is somewhat difficult, but worst problem is the eyebrows. I had to fix the weight painting manually, and the fact that the eyebrows are thin and angled sharply makes it even more difficult. Mouth isn't that bad, but no so great either. Testing the result in the studio, I think I may redo the morph all ov...
2019-03-04 12:49:26 +0000 UTC View PostI really need to get off my lazy ass and get this done. After all, goal is like promise and I have to honor that. And so while it's still on unfinished state I decide to release this (patrons only for now) so I can get feedback and hopefully motivates me than just leaving it in my PC.

To celebrate upcoming Devil May Cry 5 this month, have Trish...in her Devil May Cry 4 version :p
I stumbled upon Trish costume ported to HS and I thought the head should exists too. But I couldn't find any, only Roy's Lady available out there. Maybe it exists somewhere as paid mods but whatever. And after I declare my love for short-haired girl here I am doing one with long hair, sigh.
2019-02-27 22:52:38 +0000 UTC View PostSo all of my Honey Select mods so far came from different video game series, with some series have more than one representation in my collection. For example Fatal Frame have Yuri and Miu etc. There are more pretty ladies worth to port to HS from said series than the one I've done so far. And thus I want to gauge the interest if you think I should go back to certain series and do more characters from that series. I do love to expand my horizon and importing characters from new series I haven'...

This is older and tougher Lara than the one from the reboot, and I like this look better. There is more recent version from Shadow Of The Tomb Raider but I pick this one for some reasons including the issue with hair. More rant about that later but first the download. And as the title said, her necklace as neck accessory is included in the package.

I did say that I won't do another Onechanbara characters, but well, this one was a commission. Kagura here comes with her cowboy hat, but the rest is pretty much the same as Aya. Maybe I'll have to update Aya with her hat later.
Now she looks more like Lara than before. The hair looks weird, because that's what happen if the hair is not separated into dozens of pieces, duplicated for backface, then ordered into their own render queue. Still it's a step closer to completion.
2019-02-14 14:15:50 +0000 UTC View Post
She doesn't look much like Lara right now because of Default-chan's hair, but the head, eyelashes, and eyebrows imported just fine. I need to clean the face texture but at the same time I have to preserve its details.
Moving on to morph and I just found out the eyelashes don't move correctly with the eyelids. Something I missed when working with XPS model. No other choice than fixing that manually. Oh joy.

Lara Croft from Rise of The Tomb Raider.
Some of you probably aware that Roy12 has ported Lara Reboot to HS, and I feel the Rise (and Shadow) version is different enough than that one to have its own port. This is older and tougher Lara, and I like that better. Why not the latest version from the latest game that is Shadow of the Tomb Raider? Well the Shadow version has this "Purehair" mesh for...

This is Yakuza 6 version of Haruka and thus she's totally legal, but no longer an idol anymore. Nothing stopping you to slap an idol outfit on her though and have her singing Konnan Ja Nai.

This was a commission. The head model used is from Warriors Orochi 3 so the mesh and textures aren't up to DW9 quality. No accessories, just optional pubes.
Text is around 70-80% complete, and I've taken necessary screenshots to illustrate the points. It's over 2000 words by now, kinda surprised myself for such simple program. The HS one definitely will be much longer, unless I get to the point without explaining why and how the steps are for.
Before anyone ask, yes I did try recording myself in order to make video tutorial. But I found that I dawdle a lot and doing things out of order when modding. I can't make my own workflow orderly unle...

For now I've updated the hair textures so it has less shimmering and the hair can show its details even in black color. Previously the hair can turn into absolute black in certain lighting condition, like the hair would just disappear against black background. About the "shimmering" thing I mentioned, not sure I used the term correctly but here's the example in Yuki:

As mentioned, I will update and finalize Haruka mod that I've shared the beta version previously. Few things I plan to do:
-The hair has some shimmering effect, which I suspect the overly strong normal map to be the cause. I found the same problem in Yuki too. I may soften the normal map or just removing it entirely.
-Hair diffuse texture need to be fixed too, it doesn't seem to accept color customization smoothly.
-Somehow I think the eyebrows maybe aren't in the right heig...
2019-01-25 04:03:51 +0000 UTC View PostIn the past I made WIP posts about my upcoming HS mod as $5 Patron reward. Later on I change it so that public can see it (so they know what to expect and hopefully decide to be a Patron, advertising 101). But you know, I like the idea of getting rewarded with more info from the creator for becoming a Patron. Even if said info is not that interesting and useful. And thus I came up with this:

I've always wanted to do this for a long time but I couldn't find suitable source model. None of the available Aya XPS models have the hair intact, as the hair all got cut on top where the hat is and at the bottom by the scarf. But I have the game on my PC, and after looking around for the method and scripts I managed to find and extract ...

Totally not Tina Armstrong. For HS version I put more attention to her hair, I don't want the bangs to be static so I did my best weighing them. The rest is HS hair physics, can't really do anything about that. The original model face has good amount of bones making expression morphs less frustrating to make. And somehow I managed to get the face textures right in just few tries, that's nice. Tears problem is still here unfortunately, but I will try experimenting the solution in the next proj...

So I missed the initial deadline. I was busier than I thought last week, I just managed to complete morph creation and export process. Now refining the hair and after that, the textures. For morph Allison has more usable bones than Reiko so she's less frustrating. One thing to notice is that her tongue is very thick, unlike default HS or DOA5 tongues. It makes the poses that need the tongue to stick out kinda hard to make.
Well then, hopefully she can be completed this week.

This was a commission. Basically Anna and Nina with the body of my Katarina nude mod. I did try to fix the breasts to look more naturally. Anna also has optional hair as requested (see the notes) but that's it.

Whoa, almost done? No, not really. I haven't worked on facial expression morphs yet. Which will take a while because just like Reiko I have to start from scratch again. I did the hair for a test, and they're also not completely done because they still need to be separated into strands. I hope I can finish and release the mod this week, but we'll see.

It's a new month, time for a new HS project. And as planned, it's Allison's time now. After that, fixing and finalizing Haruka that I've released the beta version before. Again, as planned. Tell you what, I'm gonna keep the next HS project after that as secret until the time comes. My excuse is to keep things exciting and unpredictable, but actually it's because I haven't decided yet lol.
Yes, there are still other entries from Yakuza and non-Yakuza polls I did back then, and they will ...
