Bonus Poll #4 : (29/01 - 04/02)

Here's the Bonus Poll for February.

As always, bonus poll submissions were for Collector tier and up, however voting is open to everyone.

Normally there will be two rounds of voting, but since there weren't too many submissions, I think one long round of voting should be enough.

The winning model will be released near the end of Feb.

Good luck!

Open Poll #31 , Round 2 : (28/01 - 30/01)

Here are the top three characters from the first round of voting.

The total results from the first round are at the bottom of the post.

Voting period for Round 2 will run from the 28th to the 30th.

Good luck!!

Kyaru, (Princess Connect, MMD Model) : 21

Open Poll #31 , Round 1 : 25/01 - 27/01

Here's round 1 of this week's poll, voting period is from 25/01 - 27/01.

Voting is open to everyone, so take advantage of that if you like any of these characters. They all look pretty fun to do, so good luck!

Thank you to XINO for bringing more Fire Emblem waifus into VaM by making this public commission!

She comes with two costumes, her pre-timeskip and timeskip costume. Also comes with scenes for VaM default height and canonical height.

Personally I love her expression, and she reminds me of Kobeni from CSM.

Pretty straight forward look this time. She's canonically pretty tall so no need for two scenes.

Congratulations to Taihou for winning the poll!

Monika and Mio still had a strong showing, so don't be shy to re-submit them for the next poll. Speaking of which the character submissions for the next poll are already open.

I'll plan to release Taihou this coming weekend, and as always thank you to everyone who participated!!

Work in Progress Preview - Mio

I got the opportunity to work on a few DAZ ports recently, and I realised that I haven't really had a lot of experience working on them. 

Since its a very popular platform to obtain models from, and that I'm planning to make a guide I'd thought I'd experiment on a few things first to familiarise myself and I picked this model as a base.

The main thing that I really wanted to figure out was if I could find an efficient way in porting the textures and tldr: don't. 

I...

Open Poll #30 , Round 2 : (20/01 - 22/01)

Here are the top three results for the first round of voting.

The results from the first round are below at the bottom of the post, I figure this format will reduce the image clutter.

The top three submissions were a bit ahead of the other submissions this time. Though interesting to see that they each have different body sizes. 

So which would you choose, small, medium, or thi...

Eyelash updates for semi-realistic looks and some future Patreon plans

Hey guys, I have a small update for a few recent semi-realistic looks as well as some news for future Patreon content.

First off, the semi realistic version of Asuka, Haruhi and Rin have been updated with cloth eyelash meshes. Its not immediately noticeable from the screenshot, but its much more noticeable up close and in VR. Overall the thicker and bushier eyelashes adds a smokier effect around the eyes and make the characters look much cuter.

I have already updated the MEGA fold...

Open Poll #30 , Round 1 : 17/01 - 19/01

Its been a while hasn't it? 

Thank you to everyone who submitted a model. I adjusted the poll times a bit since I couldn't get the poll up in time due to some technical issues, but its all good now.

Since its been a while since the last poll and I've noticed a lot of ne...

Work in Progress Preview - UMP9

Thank you to Heckler for commissioning this look via the SuperFan Patreon tier!!

First costume is at a release ready state, final Early Release version will have more costumes added.

This look is also the first look where I went out of my way to 'kitbash' a mesh together. The head is from a dedicated VRM model, which usually carries more details than KK models. The body is composed from a modified KK model. Not only does that save a bit of time rebuilding the body...

Thank you to Blablablabber for commissioning this look via the SuperFan Patreon tier!!

Version 2 is an overall improvement over the first version. The first version was based on a KK model, whereas this model is based on an official game model. Details such as body proportions, hair and clothing are as close as possible to how Hestia should look like.

Skin textures are custom baked textures, hope you guys like it.

Update : polls resuming, and general questions about anime cell shader

Hi everyone, sorry about the late update this week. I caught something pretty bad last week and spent most of the time in bed. This happened all during my week off the new year holiday so I guess its both good and bad.

Preamble aside there's two general topics that I want to go over. 

1). Polls will be resuming next week, submissions are open now on the Discord request channel. If you don't have or want to use Discord you can DM me the model submission. I know a few people wh...

Only one minor thing to note; her jacket was a bit tricky to port, I applied physics to the jacket but it might need some adjustments depending on usage.

Wishing everyone a great New Year!!

A bit belated happy new year to everyone!!

I want to express my deepest gratitude to everyone for all the support I received this past year.

Its been a crazy year with myself removed from the Hub and with my move across the world for work. I appreciate everyone sticking around despite this and your support and warm messages are truly appreciated and very encouraging.

Going forward into this new year, I hope to resume polls again mid to late January, and with my new PC hardwa...

Thank you to DyingInsideLoLz for commissioning this look via the SuperFan Patreon tier!!

The clothing was a bit of a tricky port. There were a lot of details that were floating on top of the dress instead of being on it, which meant some tricky texturing work to keep those details on the dress. Speaking of the dress, there is some physics applied, but its a bit more limited this time purely due to how the UV map is laid out. Furthermore aside from that, Bronya really, r...
