Texture modding should be easy.  You probably can unpack the patches and then edit the textures for nails, pubic hairs, or shiny skin.  There are guides on the modding discord.  Though there are no guides to pack the textures, its easy once you figure it out. :)  Be warned, the feet uvs do not really match the texture for those nails. :)

 

There's 2 HZD modding discords.   One is found through google search, other via the nude mod link.   It is through the HZD modding discord that this mod is possible.  Big thanks to AlexPo for the mod tools and everyone in those discord channels who helped.

 

edit: no big reason for the gloves and boots, though there may be seams on the wrist without the bracers.

can you release a wet version please?

I'm quite surprised no one has made a sexy tribal mod or a nude mod with realistic pubic hair. 

Agreed!  I can't imagine a girl living out in the wilderness, away from civilization her entire life, gets a Brazilian wax every 2 weeks.  Not just this game, but in every game, it seems like 75% of mods have the girls completely bald, even if it does not make sense in the context of that world or for that character...

 

Also, am I really just in that small of a minority of guys that likes a little hair down there lol?  In the 70s and 80s the style was to have a huge bush, nowadays it seems to be the style to be completely bald, but where is the love for a nicely trimmed bush?! 

 

Anyway, this is getting off topic but yes I think pubic hair should be an option on nude mods.

There are cultures that completely depilate that area for thousands of years, many of them African and Arab cultures.

Actually, considering that Aloy also don't have armpit or leg hairs, or even arm hairs, its not surprising she doesn't have pubic hairs.  That's just either how future humans evolved or the norm of future cultures even living the wilderness life.

If yo admire it's difficult to add one just accept it.

Even for blockbuster movies with multi-million dollar budgets, realistic looking hair is one of the hardest things to create in CGI. It's not surprising that modders for basically every game have a hard time creating pubic hair that doesn't look badly drawn on. 

And in terms of taste, I think we can all blame the porn industry for that. In maybe a decade or two, sexual preference might swing back to what it was in the 70s and 80s.

Egyptian and Indian women shaved their genitals for religious reasons.

What does that have to do with women who live in the wild, away from civilization? Those were highly civilized cultures.

 

That said, I think it's a pretty silly thing to argue about. If we're aiming for believability here, why are we making her naked in the first place?

Why not just add the Hair via the Body-Texture? Aloy should definitely have a bush, she is basically a sheltered hermit living in the woods. I hardly doubt the old guy that cared for her would have shown her how to shave her pussy...

Generally because hairless (even though I generally prefer some hair myself) looks FAR better than 'bad' hair, and it's *Very* hard to get anything even approaching a decent effect with texture-only hair.  At least on anything modern with decent resolution and graphics.

 

Back in the (original) Tomb Raider days, it was fine, since the model complexity was low anyway, so a little 'brown blob' or whatever worked just fine.  Now days, we have much higher poly models, and even if you go crazy with bump mapping and all sorts of other texture enhancement, in the end, a simply painted on patch still looks like one without some modeling work, and the results are *usually* pretty glaring with modern games, so instead of actually enjoying the result, you just cringe every time you look at it because it stands out so badly.

 

Well, for most people anyways.  I suppose your average 13 year old who pretty much gets horny if a leaf blows by and lands a certain way probably doesn't care so much about quality, but... for the rest of us.  xD

 

As for the whole "should/shouldn't" argument, I'm not really gonna go there.  99% of Nude mods really don't make sense in the first place, though anyone can find reasons to justify them if they try.  Personally, I just go with what I like, rather than trying to argue that "this is the way it should be, because..." or whatever.  Ultimately, any of these sorts of things tend to be dictated by what the community (and ultimately, the modder(s)) WANT in their game(s).


Sometimes we get lucky, and a game gets a lot of talented modders willing to make all sorts of choices.  Sometimes we're stuck with only a few here or there, none of which may be 'perfect' for us.  Sometimes, no one touches a game at all and we're stuck playing it stock.  Been that way since the dawn of computer games, and doubt it'll change anytime soon.  :)

Anyone know what happened to alphaZomega? IIRC, he made a pretty good looking bush for Jill. If someone can do a good Aloy bush, it would be him.

Can't say for certain, but he's likely working on some of his tools/programs/scripts/models etc for... something.  Seems like he's always doing something pretty cool.  He was hugely responsible for decent modding in lots of the RE games, not to mention making them SO much easier for end-users to add mods to.  I've also seen him do a lot of work modeling as well as making tools to inject mods into some of the Tomb Raider reboots.

 

I don't think I've seen him publish anything since maybe last October or so, but he's pretty active over at Mod Nexus, so you may be able to catch his attention with a PM over there, if for nothing else, to ask what amazing thing he's working on now.  :)
