As some sort of 100th model celebration, I've decided to upload my Rey model on smutbase because it was my first model release ever and it kinda made sense to me that it should be this one.
The Rey model currently on smutbase has been a thorn in my side for a little while now. I don't want to delete it because it's still used but it's also galaxies (far, far) away from what I can offer to...

Edit v1.4 : fix for IK knees&elbows, 4.0 support
This is officially the 100th model release ! I made it after all but this one has been painful to say the least.
She has 10 outfits, 6 hairstyles, 2 skin colors, 2 eyes colors.
The alternate skin is not awesome but it should be okayish as long as you don't zoom t...

Okay so I'm done with the rigging of all 10 outfits. As you can see from the picture that entails a lot of custom bones...each outfit has its own bone group so it'll be somewhat easier to see what's going on by hiding the groups you don't need. Outfits are quite heavy in terms of vertices so the blender file size is sitting at a solid 600Mb so far.
I'm also done with the fans (weapons) te...
2023-07-27 19:21:12 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone,
It seems like the fix I uploaded yesterday works for all testers so I've integrated it in the UI addon.
This means there's no need to deal with the startup folder thing anymore, you just install the daz and UI addon and that's it.
I believe that's the definitive end of that cursed lips bug.
If you followed the steps from yesterday's post, simply delete th...

Okay so I managed to replicate the issue some people were having and I might have a solution.
Can you try the following steps and tell me if it solves the lip issue with older models ?
Hi everyone,
It's been a little while since the last upload so I wanted to give a little update on what's going on.
Kitana won this month poll so I started working on her soon after the poll ended.
Poll models are supposed to be simple and quick so I can get them done by the end of the month but Kitana turns out to be one of the biggest models I've worked on so far.

Okay so good news, after a quick test 3.6.1 seems to fix the issue we were having with older models but it requires a step from users.

She has 1 outfit, 1 hairstyle
I've upscaled some textures so that outfit looks better but despite that it still remains blurry.
There is a shape key on the body making the index fingers invisible since she has only 3 fingers in the game apparently. You can disable it if you prefer 4 fingers but it will cause issues with the gloves.
She has 2 outfits, 1 hairstyle. She has an alternative cleaner skin texture also.
I'm a bit unsure about eyes color, feel free to tweak it in materials.

2023-07-01 18:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostIt may or may not happen to you, it seems random as fuck from my tests.
I'm pretty sure it's because of the new feature allowing to register multiple scripts folders, it must be bugged somehow so the script that fixes the lips on startup sometimes won't work on fresh installation.
I seem to have fixed it but I can't really tell how. I just moved the startup folder from C:\Users\your...

Winner on June's poll.
I've seen a model pop on smutbase less than a week ago, surprising timing given how old that model is.
In any case, she comes with 1 outfit, 1 hairstyle. I've upscaled a few textures to try to make it look a bit better.

Third Lara model out of 9 (currently)...it kinda feels like I don't make any progress with those. Doesn't help she was probably one of the most time consuming models so far, I've started it nearly a month ago.

Sometimes I get a question so many times it makes me wonder if I can improve stuff and that's what this update is about.
From now on the UI will detect if you change the render engine in blender and do the required operations on nodes to ensure compatibility without the need for you to do anything.
The engine button in the panel is therefore gone since it's now usel...

I needed a little break from Lara models so here you go :).
She has 2 hairstyles, 2 outfits. I had to eyeball the SFVI outfit colors so feel free to change colors if you feel it's not correct.
I tried to stay as close as possible to her original body shape.

Hello all,
I've got quite a few infos to share around that UI release :
1. UI now supports the upcoming water droplets node (see picture). A few options will be available to you once you click the water droplets controls button. The location allows to "simulate" droplets moving along the body (just an axis location vector for the textures, nothing fancy).

Thoughts ? It would be an additive effect over the current one.
Pictures show new vs current, eevee then cycles.

I'm in some kind of internal dilemma right now so I thought I'd ask for your opinion.
I'm currently working on some older versions of Lara and some outfits or parts of them didn't age too well so I'm wondering if I should keep everything as is or try to improve while keeping it faithful.
Here's an example (don't mind the clipping), first is original, second is cus...

Second Lara model out of 8 (so far). These models are taking even more time than I anticipated, not sure how long it's gonna take to get through all of them.
She has 3 hairstyles, 4 outfits.
A few things to note :
Hi all,
Just wanna let you know that I've moved the folder with tier 1 models inside the folder with tier 2 models. Instead of two links, there's now only one and you have everything in the same place.
It seems so obvious now that I wonder why I didn't do that in the first place.
As for the pictures, the oldest will recognize the Underworld version of Lara. It's ear...

First of the many Laras. Probably not the most popular one but I had to start somewhere.
All Laras will have the same body so it will be easy to use any outfit with any version. I'll release an addon for the outfit library specific for that.

Alright, I'm in good health again (almost) and back at it.
This will be the last "non Lara" model from the Tomb Raider franchise. I'll have 7 or 8 Laras coming after that and all or almost all will be tier 2.
Ana has 1 outfit and 1 hairstyle.
There are two eyes textures because I never understood why they made her a crack junkie with red eyes in the game.
