– M4 Head news –
April 13, 2018 26 Comments
Alright so i have finished working on the HUD for the M4 heads and all that’s left to do now is scripting everything and finishing the remaining animations and a few more textures.
This project was really frustrating, i decided to not half ass it and go all out with this one, making it join seamlessly with Avatar 2.0 and kemono necks, as well as LL neck so you can use this with your overpriced normie bodies as well, i also had to blend the kemono and av2 skin textures for seamless blending to be possible, and made a bunch of LL UV skins for normie bodies. I will need to make a special skin blending kit for skin creators to get their skins blend with the head easier. I also made 2 different nose shapes that you can choose from, one of them is your standard pointy anime nose, the other one is slightly more realistic doll style nose so people dont need to draw noses on top of noses that look weird from every other angle than front lol. Theres also 2 different eye and ear shapes, but i think i already mentioned all this stuff before. So needless to say, there was a lot of complicated fuckery i had to do to get all this to work, and some stuff had to be sacrificed for it all to work, like the 2 different eye shapes cannot be too different or the blink will not work with one of them, or the dreaded 8 face limit combined with alpha sorting issues forced me to ditch some ideas like makeup layers.
– Delays –
Now due to the whole hippo update nonsense and a huge roadblock i ran in with avastar/bento work has been delayed and while im still hopeful that i can meet my personal deadline of releasing the M4 anime head by the beginning of summer, im not sure i can meet that same deadline for the M4 Chibi and M4 Man heads.
For the Chibi head, it shares all the textures and HUD with the M4 anime head so everything is pretty much done but theres a problem with mesh hair compatibility, half of the hairs clip at the sides so im afraid i will have to redo its shape a bit, so im not sure when thats going to be done either. For the male head, it will have skins of its own and some of the features will be different from the female heads so i will need to slightly redo the HUD for it too, so im not sure when thats going to happen eitehr but the base skin for it is already done so all i will need to do is just a few different skin tone versions.
So thats it for now.
