You're welcome. I am currently focusing on Blaze B and C jacket-less project, so I didn't really have plans for this. My frequency of pumping out mods is going to slow to a crawl now that I am back working at the office. But I'll tell you what, I will as time permits or when I need to take a break from modding projects or just do something different, I will see if I can put together a separate Blaze Futa project, but it will only contain the default blaze (as per test version) and Blaze A. Blaze B and C are kind of not even on the horizon at this point.

Hey man. Sounds good to me. If I had a digital art device I wish i could take a crack at it too. I know I don't have the skillset for 3d modeling, but I think I could do some of this. Yeah Blaze B is my favorite. I would NOT complain if you had a Blaze Futa project for A though. Your work is not unappreciated bro. Thanks again.

It's just editing regular images. You can just download one of the nude mods here, grab any image editing program like GIMP with a mouse or keyboard, which is what I do. Though tbh, using GIMP may be the worst way to go about it. Like you just said, looks like to do proper editing you may very well need a proper digital art device and 3d modelling skills, both of which I don't possess. All I'm trying to say is, you can probably do a great job even without skills or the required programs. I have no drawing or art experience whatsoever, but I try anyway.

You are 100% Right. I will just try it out. I know using the mouse and keyboard won't lead me to the right quality. I'll look into some devices to help me with some editing.  Thanks of the boost of confidence

Yo, so I know this might not be thrilling news to anyone, as I am in deep consideration of wanting to restart Blaze nude mods completely yet again. Quite a while ago, someone asked me if I could not change direction and use the “best” blaze nude mod instead for the jacket-less project. As you know, I was not really willing to change the base nude mod, at the time I was almost finished with Blaze A. Also, the jacket removal process was such a massive undertaking, we literally speaking of editing out a jacket from 199 images as well as an additional 86 ultra images, that’s a shit ton of work as you can well imagine. Luckily I have some personal motivational drive...for the time being.

 

Anyway, I am considering going this route because well you gotta admit, them animations be smooth like, but…I am not a fan of the original blaze face, so I want to combine this with a new blaze face mod that I found, and combine this with my existing jacket removal mod…with fixes. So, potentially, I want to start a new project going forward.

 

For some of the jacket removal fixes, I’ve decided to enlist some help by doing a couple of things, the first being YouTube tutorials of how to draw breasts, a necessary skill, since a lot of images of blaze has got her boobs covered, and removing the jacket I really need to get like a basic idea of how and where to draw the curves. Just keep in mind this won’t make me some kind of pro over watching one video, so the arms/breasts might still be janky. I’m hoping though that the smoothness of the nude blaze mod will guide me into doing a better job.

 

Second, I’ve invested in a Huion H640P pen tablet, again getting a device does not equate to sudden improvement in skill (I still don’t have any skill LOL). I am just hoping, that I didn’t waste my money of course but also hoping that the pen can accomplish what can sometimes be challenging with just the mouse and keyboard alone.

 

I’m going to do some sample work in the next few weeks as time allows, just to see how it turns out with the best blaze nude mod, plus new face, plus my improved jacket removing mod and I will see and share some images of what is cooking. Based on how the initial results look, I will make my decision on whether I must commit to this new project, or abandon it and continue modding Blaze B instead with what I have currently.

 

Anyway I’m just putting this out here to spark some deliberation in the thread, what do you guys think of this new direction, is it a good idea, bad idea, please do Blaze B and C instead with what you’ve already got? Ultimately the decision is up to me but I also listen (or not listen *cough*) to feedback/requests.

Hey, would it be too much to ask for you to finish Saphyr (the pink one) first before really hunkering down on this?

Also, I assume by "best" you mean the one on Gumroad?

Probably is the same one. Except i am referencing the named folder "BEST SOR4 Blaze NSFW Mod", which was shared here.

To be honest with you I lost all interest in finishing this. I will give it some thought, but that is about it. I'm a busy man and my time is limited.

Alternatively, I can share with you the WIP files of which only 10 images of Saphyr have been fixed. I estimate that to fix the breast lines for 37 remaining Saphyr images and restore some of the nipples that were partially overwritten by the skin recolor is about 30 to 60 hours worth of work if done the way I finish it. If you are willing to invest that much time doing the fixes you are welcome to the WIP files that I have. I only have about 4 to 6 hours free over the weekend, and I want to spend that time working on Blaze. I'm not going to spend my next several weekends on Saphyr.

Okie doke. I totally understand, which is why I asked if it was too much. I just found it sad that you made the edits to all other Diamond characters except Saphyr. But again, I understand.

Look the edit is essentially done, but there is thin brown lines, across Saphyr's breasts, you can catch glimpses of it during game play, you will see flickering brown lines appear around the breast area (outline of the breasts contain specks of brown, as well as one line above the breasts and one across the waist just below the breasts) where you can see I pasted over the breast from the original Diamond nude mod, and some of the nipples have some brown or pink around the areola. The shadows across the breast are blocky and not smoothed over due to the bucket of paint I threw over it during the initial first stage editing. To fix these issues will take quite some time, time apparently which I don't have a lot of.

 

That being said, if you don't mind the flaws and that the mod is going to look odd during game play, would you prefer I release the incomplete Saphyr mod for the time being, seeing that I don't quite have time to fix those issues?

You missed diamond_0059, but I don't think anyone will see that during gameplay. Otherwise good job, you're a man made machine!

After much deliberation, as modifications I was working on was not being finished off to the quality that I was satisfied with, I was seriously considering abandoning not just the new project, but the whole modding of Blaze future color palettes entirely.

 

That being said, I did come to a decision in the end. You can thank my best friend, if it weren't for her feedback on this, I probably would have said, fuck it guys it's the end of the road I'm done doing blaze mods or any mods for that matter.

 

So I've decided that I am committed. Yes, I will continue the new project, even if it takes longer to finish than usual, I am going to spend the extra time needed to finish it off to the best that I can at my current skill level.

 

I will put together a concept art post shortly to give you an idea of what I'm thinking of and what I have been up to in the last couple of weekends.

[littlewolf]

First up to avoid confusion or question around art assets used, this is the art assets that will be used in combination for the new project I will be working on. The relevant two mod artists will show up in the credits. I chose this specific image of Blaze because 90% of her breasts are covered by the jacket. There are quite a few of these images where her boobs are almost fully covered. I am showcasing this because these frames of Blaze will test my skills the most and thereby probably not be the best quality, since I am practically guessing where Blaze's boobs will be at this point. I will also take the time to do some fixes like in below comparison of jacket remove mod on left (current mod on nexus) to the newer improved remove jacket mod on the right:

Here is some concept art on what variations of Blaze I want to finish, the goal for 2024...or the dream I hope to achieve:

And finally, coming completely left field as a special request from a best friend, who saved me from the brink of quitting I might add. It's quite a story behind it but long story short, she asked me why is there no red-head as part of this project? I agreed with her assessment, this decision to add a brand new color palette is actually what pushed me over the fence, there will now be a new color palette. To credit her for the idea and inspired concept, I'm going to call it Blaze T:

Dude littlewolf... It looks amazing man! I love the redhead look too. Great stuff. I've been waiting for you to come out with nude Blaze B and C but now you got an additional model which is excellent.

 

I actually am the guy who was asking about your work in progress concerning nude Blaze B on your patreon.  I was also asking about what program you were using to edit the sprites and how you were doing it, which you told me you were using GIMP. So I downloaded the program a few days ago and started working on a mod project myself. It is nude Ms. Y V2. So far I only got a few images done but here is a preview of it. I am also looking to make a nude version for V3 but first I want to see how this goes. Took a bit of learning the program and being able to export the images to work for replacing old sprites. After some trial an error I was finally able to edit images that could be imported into the game with SoR4Explorer. Hope you guys like it. Only 87 more images to go... I can only work on it when I have the time and also my mouse just took a crap on me so gotta get a new one before I can get back to working on this project.

It's been a long time since I was last here. It's great that this topic is still active and people continue to create mods for this game. It's all the more gratifying to see that some of these mods use fragments of my work that I created at the very beginning.

Spoiler

At one time, I was making a mod for Blaze and even completed all the basic movements, but stopped when I encountered some technical limitations.

Spoiler

Each animation frame has a width and height size set by the original. And if you upload a larger image to the place of the frame, the game will simply squeeze it to its original values. In the process of redrawing sprites, I came across just such a situation when I did not have enough space to do everything my own way.

Spoiler

Here is a good example. Green indicates the default sprite size, and pink indicates how much I will need to widen it horizontally.

If modders had the opportunity not only to replace the source files, but also to edit the game parameters responsible for frame sizes, this would solve many possible problems. It would be interesting for me to get back to work on the mod, but only if I don't have to compromise in favor of the original sizes.

 

The problem with most mods for me is that they try to change only a part of the sprite by simply drawing nude areas of the body. It seems to me that in order to make a really worthwhile mod, Blaze must be completely naked, without a jacket, gloves and boots. Then, besides the fact that the Blaze will be naked, it will give other users the opportunity to draw their own unique outfits based on this. Also, if she was optionally bald, then it will be possible to add custom hairstyles for her. Of course, this approach will require much more work and time, because each sprite will have to be drawn almost from scratch and there will be little left of the original, but the result will be worth it.

 

Out of interest, I sketched out a couple of options for what it might look like.
