Has the "DazV5 Developer Kit [Preview 2]" been shelved or is it still a WIP. I can understand if it is quite the project to make documentation for, especially if it includes workflows for other 3d model programs than what you are use to.

LordAardvark

Frankly I forgot about it.

I'll put together a new DazV5.5 dev kit at some point. Need to find the time.

any mass effect related stuff planned in the next works? I am going through a withdrawal, MeLord.

LordAardvark

Nothing big.

Just, you know, Blue Star Episode 4.

It's next on the schedule, after Overbreed Episode 1. But that's still a ways away. At least a year before production begins. At least.

Hello LA. Is it possible to port your enhanced character meshes back into a game? Like Mass Effect. Thanks for your time.

LordAardvark

Depends on the game and the tools available for it.

As a general rule though you need to adapt the model you want to import to the skeleton of the model you want to replace it with, so that it can use all of the in-game animations. None of my models are fit to any of those skeletons, so that'd be the first hurdle to overcome assuming there's even a way to do it.

I've seen replacement mods for Mass Effect Legendary Edition, though, such as one that replaced Sovereign with Thomas The Tank Engine. So it should at least be technically possible. But it wouldn't be a trivial effort.

Is the fix the same for 2P or is there an extra step?

LordAardvark

She'll have aunique material names for the alternate skin, but I trust your ability to figure it out.

Is there a fix to 2B clipping through her gloves?

LordAardvark

Use the DazV5-5 Bodygroup tool, in the Scripts menu along the top (assuming you installed everything as packaged). It'll have two listboxes, on the left you select what model (2B in this case) you want to affect. On the right will be a list of materials for the selected model, with checkboxes. Uncheck the hands and fingernails.

How do i get into sfm and animate like you do

LordAardvark

You can find Source Filmmaker on the Steam Store page, it's a free download. There's plenty of tutorials online, I personally recommend Zachariah Scott, Jimer Lins, and Harry101UK as good sources of tutorials on YouTube. The Steam Workshop has tons of assets to work with, and for lewd varieties you have sites like SFMLab as well as artists' personal sites, such as my own.

I wish you the best of luck, and my only advice is to expect things to be slow. You're going to struggle at first to make work you're happy with. Don't let that demotivate you - let it inspire you.

Will blue star episode 4 be soon? Or is that series dead

LordAardvark

I've locked my main project schedule into Claire/Jill -> Overbreed Episode 1 -> Blue Star Episode 4.

There will be on-stream projects and mini-vids in between, but those are the primary focus. Overbreed Episode 1 is going to take a while, though. By all accounts, it's going to be a real doozy.

Hello, not sure if this is good place to report this but I ran into an issue with the sex doll model from the misc sex toy pack. Whenever I use the sliders the dolls neck shatters like glass and the tone strong slider flats out crashes the program. Am I doing something wrong on my end?

LordAardvark

Nah the model is just fucked.

Is Ladies' Night Out bugged or something? I can't find the download button.

LordAardvark

Looks like if you have access to the 2160p version, you need to explicitly swap to 2160p, then back down to 1080p, before the download button appears.

Probably some whacky assumptions that 720p is always available for people who aren't logged in causing that problem, because LNO only has 1080p and 2160p available.
