Next mod - Dong Bai from DW9

Archliches will have her flail, one extra back hair from her informal/civilian appearance, another whole hair set from her goth one, and the head accessories that come with those costumes.

Upcoming mod

Expect in-game preview this coming October.

Letty - Honey Select [Public Release]

Shoot, so I'm five days late. Sorry again.

Probably the hardest and most frustrating model I've worked with. First I have to rig the face and hair from the ground up and then there's errors in the texture that the devs have seemingly overlooked. It was countless trial and error, like all mod porting processes, but more ...

Next mod - Da Ji from Warriors Orochi

There's no fitting phrase for this one as "biting the bullet", 'cause that's what I did.
Hence, the very late post. Sorry, but low poly is just too ugly. The braids were just like long strands of thin paper. Luckily I know someone who is more proficient in 3D. I am still trying my damnedest to replicate her cut-scene model...

Letty for Archlichs (update/fix)

So this was bothering me for a while. I noticed she was somewhat cross-eyed but I didn't mind it as it was accurate to the original position. Then again, the original game must have different eye rotation mechanics. As I was looking for images using my mods in another site, I saw someone's work and the issue ...

Upcoming mod

Expect in-game preview this coming January or February.

Letty for Archlichs

Finally, she's here. Probably the hardest and most frustrating model I've worked with. First I have to rig the face and hair from the ground up and then there's errors in the texture that the devs have seemingly overlooked. It was countless trial and error, like all mod porting processes, but more so than all the other mods b...

First of all, let me apologize for the long wait. I did s...

Progress Report - Letty

So far, only the back hair is left to be weighted; as you can see in the gif above it's still very stiff. I felt compelled to separate the side hair into two roots (a pair for each side which is four in total) because the ends point in the opposite direction as seen in more detail in the second gif.

The weights names st...

Ginchiyo Tachibana - Honey Select [Public Release]

The loose hair, like most Nioh hairs, had no proper rigging so I had to copy smoothly from one of the HS vanilla hairs. Honestly, that method is more preferable  
than weight painting them from scratch and it saves time. Stiff hairs need at least a decent rig in any case.

The ponytail ribbon is part of the hair ...

Next mod - Letty from Vindictus

The model had no face rig unlike all the heads that came before. Naturally, I had to learn some to make a good poseable face and make it work for the additional bones.

Archliches will have more extra makeup: cheeks, lips, eyeshadows and lots of eyebrows.

When the mod is released, please do read the preview text...

Upcoming mod

Pledges will be paused next month and probably the succeeding one.

Expect in-game preview this month or the next. 

Ginchiyo for Archliches

Phew, took way longer than expected. There were so many issues and mistakes that managed to slip by that I had to go back to just to fix them. To be honest I took some breaks, hours or sometimes a whole day. The loose hair, like many Nioh models, had no proper rigging so I had to copy smoothly from one of the HS vanilla hairs...

Oichi - Honey Select [Public Release]

This is actually the first mod that came from the same game as another character I ported. I thought it was gonna be easier, but then I found the side hairs have no proper rigging.

Expect some clipping of the hair, mostly the front left side, in various positions and clothing. The reason being the original model has a l...

Next mod - Ginchiyo Tachibana from Nioh

Some stuff still need fixing before proceeding to the tiresome morph work. 

Archliches will get an alternate loose hair, aside from the usual stuff. 

Pledges may be paused again for the next month.

Upcoming mod

I said in a comment that the next one wouldn't be a Nioh character, but the situation changed.

Expect in-game preview next month. Pledges will also be paused at that same time.

ANNOUNCEMENT / minor update for Oichi

Work on the next girl will start at the first week of next year, since I have been in a break
these last few months. Also, expect the announcement of the character on that time.

Pledges may be paused for either January or February. Highly likely for the latter.

I adjusted the side hair bones fo...

Oichi for Archliches

Expect some clipping of the hair in various positions and clothing, the reason being the original model has a long neck. Extending the head any further will cause more issues so I did my best rigging the right side and back/left side hairs from scratch again.

Additional eye closing morphs are added to the corresponding ...

Mumyo - Honey Select [Public Release]

This has been the most tedious work I've ever done for a mod. 118 out of 130 bones were used for the blendshapes/morphs. I've scoured Japanese Google, viewed hundreds of pictures and watched many videos including a complete TV series so I could find and match a specific facial expression. The fact that this model is based on ...

Next mod - Oichi from Nioh 2

At default pose the left side hair (actually the back hair hanging on the left shoulder) still clips through the shoulder of the HS body so the hair still needs some weighting magic.

Pledges may be paused this coming September.

Upcoming mod

Face textures are done but still needs some touchups. Hair is yet to be ported.
Side hairs have no weight so it needs to be rigged from scratch.
Expect in-game preview this month. 

Mumyo for Archlichs

Let me start by saying I'm very sorry for the long wait. This has been the most tedious work I've ever done for a mod. 118 out of 130 bones were used for the blendshapes/morphs. I've scoured Japanese Google, viewed hundreds of pictures and watched many videos including a complete TV series so I could find and match a specific...

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

Pledges are paused for May to be sure everything is in order and not rush this before the release in June. I am still doing my best to make everything almost perfect. What you see or make in Blender sometimes just doesn't necessarily translate into HS a hundred percent for obvious technical reasons. Then you ...

Progress Report - Mumyo

Long story short I ended up binge-watching a whole drama series just to pick up most of the actress' facial expressions since most of the time she has no bangs blocking her eyebrows. I can only get a handful from the game; the rest I searched through googling. I wish I could replicate those crumpled brows (bott...
