Holy crap thank you so much! I've been looking for a good mod for rebirth 3 for a long time. Most of what I could find was incomplete. Do you happen to have a rebirth 2 mod? That's the game I'm "stuck" on right now because the only mods I could find for it half the skins are low quality or don't work properly.

 

Thanks again!

[Futa Lover]

Yeah I remember all the Nep nude mods were being worked on Undertow's site, but only HyperDimension 1 had more support and Hyper2 only had few mods, b/c the project was abandoned after the site changed its name from GamerVixen I believe. So glad Hyper3 is getting the love its longing for.

[holycrap58]

Fuck yeah, I came so hard my balls hurt

[Sangoku25]

Thanks work godd i hop that make later ol chars ec.^^

[NonXenoN]

I've been making a few changes to characters as they appear in dialogue, as I'm not very good with texturing models or modifying textures and having them look fine. I've made changes to Noir, Vert, Blanc, and Nepgear so far.

 

I know Nepgear already has edited files in this pack, but there's two issues with the changes that I have: the resolution was downscaled quite a bit (2k x 2k to 1k x 1k) and this causes artifacts to appear near the eyes and mouth at 1080p, and secondly... I just don't think it looks good.

 

Here are the characters as I have changed them so far:

 

 

I know its not very ecchi-like, but I think not having everything be 100% nude all the time is good too. Is there any feedback on the images so far? I know for one I'm going to go back to Blanc eventually and smooth out her cleavage/underboob area as it looks a bit too high contrast for her flatness.

 

I also was hoping to get suggestions for how to make Neptune and Plutia ecchi. Their tops are very complex, it would be hard to make a simple edit like how I basically colored out Noir and Vert's bras. I really don't want to spend too much time on them either, just getting simple edits to look nice takes 3-4 hours for me. I'll post the pack with my changes once I finish Neptune and Plutia.

 

Edit: Neptune and Plutia for reference:

[tigers]

They look great man! HDN1 had some amazing  character portrait mods. Maybe use them to get some textures for nipples and stuff?

Edit: Neptune and Plutia for reference:

For the one on the right, I would say editing out the straps of her top would work. Having them gone or undone, while having the top lower with a more flattened shape (since its not being held up in two points) should be fairly simple.

As for the left, I would turn the hoodie into a skirt, recolor the top part into skin. Then either leave it at that or try to make the coat look more open or crop it more on bottom.

I did an experiment with taking off her (right girl) straps and making a low cut top before. The issue I ran into with that is that her straps are used to block the seam from her torso to her arms.

 

That allows the arms to rotate and morph independent of her torso to show things like shrugging, sighing, and other things.

 

I don't know where the seams are on the left girl, I might need to leave parts of her hoodie to cover her arms.

[NonXenoN]

Started work on Neptune, but I won't be able to continue until the weekend. The idea is very similar to Nepgear's edit (fitting since they're sisters): create a copy of the hoodie, stretch the neckline way downward, "erase" underlying dress cloth with skin. The joining part in the center of the image gets covered by Neptune's belt, most of that mess was left by the devs anyways.

 

 

I think the neckline might be a bit too low, but changes will need to wait for now.

GREAT WORK!!!!

 

I really wanna try this ecchi mod... but I can't extract .rar file with my WINRAR.

I have tried to open the archive, and WINRAR just display some messeage like>>/[error]maybe archive is broken, It can't be opened.../

and nothing extracted.

It was able to extract fine using 7Zip for me. https://www.7-zip.org/

 

Update on the MC talking portraits, Neptune is done. I know I said I was going to do "ecchi" and not "nude", but it just turned out that I made her sweater too large and I was too lazy to go back and deal with fixing it.

 

 

This just leaves Plutia, the one who I have no idea how to fix without wasting about 10 hours getting things right.

 

(PS: Getting Neptune's HDMI sweater cords to line up properly was a bitch. The thing that sucks even more is they don't move at the same rate the sweater moves now. I could do some fancy stuff to make it look like that part of the sweater moves.... but meh...)

[NonXenoN]

With this last file done, I'm releasing the files for use. I ended up not making a major change to Plutia like the others, but I reserve that right since it's hard to edit her files without making it look ugly > . >

 

To install the pack, just extract the one folder inside to your base ReBirth folder (Steam\steamapps\common\Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth3). This requires you to have already downloaded the pack on the first post.

 

The GIMP files I was using to edit the pictures are there, if you want to make some of your own edits.

Final adjustments to Plutia and Blanc:

[NonXenoN]

Update to the ecchi character portraits that I've been doing.

 

I realized that all of the character portraits that were originally in the pack were half the resolution (so 1/4 the pixel count) of the files currently in Neptunia 3. I have ported over the art from the low res versions and upscaled, cleaning up artifacts and blurriness along the way.

 

Two pretty glaring issues were cleaned up with this pass. CyberConnect2's right boob no longer gets cut off due to the way the image is displayed by the engine (had to push it back inwards, I hope it still looks the same cup size). Cave had very large and distracting black outlines on her bust and pelvis, along with weird discolorations throughout both; both have been fixed while hopefully keeping the original artist's style.

 

Minor fixes from upscaling everything: there are no longer artifacts near characters' eyes and mouths, and pixilation should also be reduced.

 

I would post comparison pictures, but I don't have the willpower to go through all the changes twice.

Same installation as before, just drop into the base folder of Neptunia. Gimp working files have been left in, though there's not much to them at all this time.

(Also includes the new portraits from my last upload so you don't need to download both)

WOW, great works!

Thanks again for continuously supporting the games XD

[NovaRain]

Bad news everyone!

 

I decided to freeze all progress for actual mod/mods due to lack 2D artist.

 

For future, when something change, the modding will be continued.

 

But until now, Be!

 

Cheers,

NovaRain

Well, I might not be an official modder, but I'm still working slowly on new things in my free time. This was my most intensive change so far, I added some kind of window to "Door Girl" 's bra. I can't test how it looks in game right now, but I can give a preview of how it looks in Gimp.

 

 

I'll admit, I'm pretty much located at the bottom 10th percentile when it comes to creativity. I tried to make the red stuff look like a transparent bra with skull holes (as its her dress motif), and the hole cutout has the rectangle liner motif, but I need some help getting it to look right. It looks more like an undershirt with holes cut in it (which I guess works too), but it feels wrong to look at for some reason.

 

Need some help diagnosing why it feels wrong.

[NonXenoN]

I don't know what the rules are on spamming/bumping/etc...

 

I made a few more changes, mostly concerning cleaning up shading and outlines. As for now, I have no ideas left on how to improve the art so this will be the final change for now. I will still implement some changes if people can give constructive feedback.

 

p.s. - now that I think about it, maybe instead of a red tint for the bra, maybe it should be more subtle and then have a fishnet pattern of fibers... humm...

 

 

The next thing I'll be working on before an update is Arfoire. I need to start doing things for real life so it might take a while, even if I think the changes will be simple.

[MasterKoume]

I'm really impressed and happy with what I see! I can't wait to see what other updates happen next!

[MasterKoume]

I should've asked, how do you install these by the way? I extracted the folders into the game's root but they didn't do anything

[NonXenoN]

Did you make sure to keep all of the files inside their folders? So you should extract the whole \Neptools\ folder into the base folder so you end up with:

 

\common\Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth3\Neptools\etc...

\common\Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth3\Birth3\dinput8.dll

 

So you don't want to extract the data and DLC folders from Neptools, keep them both inside Neptools and extract the whole Neptools folder. Same for dinput8.dll, keep it in Birth3 (you don't even need the one outside of the Birth3 folder, it does nothing).

Well... after getting into these games and looking for mods, i got a bit annoyed that there are collections, but some mods are broken, some are for one game, others for others, mixed up they end up with scrambled chars, etc.

yet, with still a lot of thanks to the modders, 2D artists and guys who went all the way to create the collections, i dont want to nag around, rather get involved.

what i did the last few days:
 - opened all event-mp files and game2 chara texture folders, looking at the textures to establish an excel sheet comparing all three rebirth-games and get a database for compatible files. 
 - looked at all the mod files and added that data to the excel sheet, getting an info about what has a modded skin and what not.
 

With that excel sheet established, i noticed that most Event mods, and even 3d model skins are mostly cut out breats. that looks a bit strange.
Now there are skins for the HDD forms, that are buck naked. With that skins existing you could argue, that the characters strength is bound to the amound of textile worn ... 
The CPUs mostly show themselves to the public in HDD form. the leaders and heroines of the world being mostly seen nude without a thought about it would create a world where shame of the nude body isnt as strong as with our world. 
conclusion: instead of damaging the clothes by cutting out and expose the breast-parts, the girls should rather just walk around with open clothes/topless or ignore some items. example would be IF with open coat and no shirt, like the one 3D skin.
Most skin-mods now are pretty focused on showing the goods without a real reason behind it, but if the boobs are shown just because they dont care, it would be more pleasing to look at, at least for some people out there. At least i'd rather look at lore-friendly boobs then just cut out ones for no reason.

 

yet again, i could argue about it and point fingers towards modders and 2d artists, or ... 
install gimp, watch guides and look what happens. Sadly i'm no artists and never used gimp before in any artistic matter and lack of artistic skills, yet i took the liberty to took the tops off of Tekken, 5pb and Cybercon. 

Tekken was the first atempt, luckily the already existing mods didnt leave much work to do, to nudify her. on 5pb i messed around a lot, trying to get rid of the top and unfold the breats below, but ended up transplanting cloth-free boobs from the internet on her. Cybercon had other problems, there is a long ribcase where i got no idea what to do with, then after having boobs with a hard line and shadow below, i tried to make it perkier with smooth transition. 

 

i'll try to add some pictures of my atempts, lets see what you think about the skin-changes.
about the excel and a possible 3 in 1 collection, i'd need to know how to handle communication with the real heroes/modders who made the mods in the first place.

about files: i'm not a fan of the free file upload systems, never used them so far, but i'm not very comfortable using my onedrive account to publish such data to people i dont know.. yet, if modders with good reputation want to share in the work, contact me.

 

what i'd love to know is how to get rid of the artifacts that appear on the face (mouth, eyes, etc.) after saving and exporting as .tif again?

 

Tekken was my first attempt, need to revisit it right away, since i now know how to get the black lining better, yet no idea how to get rid of the artifacts..

 

 

5pb was the second atempt,the boobs got some shadow on the sides, yet another thing to revisit, also the artifacts are there..

 

third model, personally the best outcome yet, still an expert would be far better with it, i'd loved to add some subtle ribs, didnt work out and scrapped it..

 

and to those who think "i could never do such things" .. i'm really bad at artistic stuff, i'm a mathemtical person, not an artistical one.. yet it took me about 2-3 hours per model plus an 1-hour tutorial video on how to use layers. I had no other knowledge to go with, only programs used were GIMP and the windows snipping tool go snatch the boobs off an Rey Ayanami picture for 5pb.

 

It would be nice to get any feedback from NovaRain on how to go on with this

 

p.s. how to edit posts here? (i just deleted everything to change the links of the pictures)

[Aximili]

Well at least you're trying were almost no one does, it's quite good for your first try, especially the last one, while 5pb breasts are still a little blurry compared to the rest of the skin, but all are servicable.

 

Although if i'm not mistaken, you can see some lines on tekken and 5pb arround the mouth and the eyes but that might have been there originally due to the way they change the expression by switching mouth and eye textures or something like that (i'm no expert on such matters). I didn't notice this in game when playing but i didn't particulary pay attention to such things.

 

Maybe i should try my hand at such things myself, but like you i'm not an artistical person and know nothing of textures and models editing.

[Avia]

today i took a look at the Blanc Skin, thats mostly used in Rebirth 1 and 2, but also appears in Re:3 

 

i took quite a while to get everything right and was not really satisfied with the side of her body, fixing a lot, even thought her boobs might be a bit too big for the amount of tease that she has to go through.. took a while to get a decent body without the transparent clothing... and then i looked at it ingame..

also: first atempt i had no artifacts ingame, then i chance a slight problem at the shoulder, and after that: artifact at mouth and eyes that i cant get rid of again. Any idea whats causing that would be appreaciated

 

About the process... i tried to figure out how to reduce the cloth-colors, but ended up painting all over the body to recreate skin, using the shading of the cloth as example of how it should look. i bet there are better ways to do that...

 

Spoiler

   

 

here is the data: http://www.mediafire.com/file/xk42idg2oikce8d/191.zip/file (hope that works)

Edit: i fixed the artifacts and had to change the sleves. 2 versions, one almost covering the nipples, one showing more

http://www.mediafire.com/file/98ftj5tfd11jndq/0191.zip/file

 

edit three hours later.. Blanc goes well with White Heart.. 

Spoiler

Sadly i couldnt test it ingame yet, i'd appreciate feedback, here are the files, Rebirth 3 is folder 182, Rebirth 1 and 2 got that skin in Folder 181:
