Ok, So who is doing the humanoid anthro mod for palword now?

[Ballistixz]

I wont name names, but a certain "team" of individuals is modding a Quivern and literally just throwing tits on it and calling it a "job well done". AFAIK there are ALOT of people already doing that exact type of slop work, but originally there was a group of people wanting to do humanoid anthros similar to pic related. Are those guys still around?? Im not sure how we went from not wanting feral in palworld to 5+ different project teams doing the exact same work of only copy pasting of tits on Feral work, but regardless i would LOVE to know where the anthro people are. 

 

All i want to know is if that project is canceled, and if not, do they have a discord i can join and follow progress? because im on the verge of just dropping some money and forming a team myself to get the quality humanoid anthros models that was promised at the start of palworlds release into the game lol.

Granted this account is no longer affiliated with a mod. It's now my personal account, as it admittedly should have been from the start, rather than stress myself.

Why would you freak out. At the end of the day, we are just trying to move on, plainly put.
We are still working to make a mod, that never stopped.

alright, im reasonable. so lets focus on what you guys are currently working on. The Dinossum and Quivern for example. Will there be Humanoid anthro Versions of those pals? Because as of right now all i see is feral for them

 

To put it as bluntly as possible, I do not care for just dropping tits on a Pal and saying its done. That to me is feral. What is posted in the OP is fully anthro and humanoid. that is what I and alot of others are personally looking for because ALOT of people are already doing feral pals. There is legit zero trace of a HUMANOID anthro pal in existence right now.

Furry Mod?~

Furry is a bit vague. Just to clarify further Anthro is turning this:

 

  

Into this:

 

[zileteh]

The ARTISTS who were actually doing the work for PoD are still around. Some are releasing stuff individually, using the groups they're part of more for support / technical discussion. Others are wanting to stay more as a group and setting up their own accounts and stuff to release more content. I'd give it a few days and it'll become apparent who is releasing content and where it's being released. There are also still individual random artists and modders making pal replacements, or you could commission an artist to make a mod / pak for a specific pal if you're wanting something faster

 

Some context why "base model with tits" mods are more common right now, is if you drastically change the format of a pal it makes things harder. If you go from a water fox thing -> a mostly human shaped thing, that means not just replacing the body but ALSO replacing all the animations with it. Copying animations from an already-human-shaped pal is also not super simple, as you'd need to make sure it connects properly to the new body or things will look nice while standing, and very messed up while doing anything else. The further from the original model you go the work is both increased amount and more difficult.

Also, did you know that Vaporeon...

Well, someone correct me if I'm wrong, but if I'm following along correctly: that's probably because drastically altering a mesh breaks the animations. I don't personally know the technical details, I just read a blurb around here that there's something about how the rig or animations are baked into the model that restrict just how much you can get away with changing things.

 

Hopefully something the modding community can figure out in the future ❤️

The reason i made this OP is because the team who I thought was doing this mod broke up (again). When i was looking at the models the Daedream model and the flambelle model were EASILY the best models being worked on and were the models i was most looking forward to (they were changed the most into being true anthro from there original pal version). What i see now is just feral stuff. So what will happen to the Daedream and Flambelle models specifically? 

[otiks55]

There's definitely a community for humanoid pals, yet as you've mentioned there are none in existance. PoD/Stargazer is in shambles after what happened recently regardless of what they're saying, please do not affiliate with them. The way i see it, what went down is going to happen again sooner or later. Keep in mind this is a much more demanding and difficult task than slapping some titties on a regular model. If things come to fruition, i myself would be happy to contribute monetarily or with my graphic design skills by any chance.

Im not sure how much of that is true, but if it is then it sounds like you would simply need to redo the animations to match the new mesh. This should be easy enough for the pals that are already anthro, you would just need to match the new mesh with the original pals original animations in mind (if you intend to not change the animations). Of course changing animations is more work, and i guess some wont do it for free. But that is what patreon is for...

I'm going to give them a chance. If they start producing good content, then that's great for the community - more choice more better. IF they produce nothing and fade from existence, then whatever. I wouldn't go as far as telling other people what to do or not to associate with them because that sabotages their ability to contribute to the scene - this benefits literally noone. If stargazer is going to fail, at least let it fail of it's own regard.

Thats why i mentioned patreon above because i also have no issue paying for QUALITY rather than copy pasted slop. I still am subbed to Darkest Dungeon modders that is doing really good lewd mods for that game, and at a very fair price to of like $3 a month.  This is also why im even willing to commission some experienced people to make it, assuming anthro modding fully went into the toilet. But pals like that Dinossum that just had tits added to it? i can not and REFUSE to get behind it. Not because im against feral, i actually like good feral porn, but mainly because its sloppy and lazy work and it looks really REALLY bad.

There were a few models that looked kinda off. It might have been better if there was jiggle on the dinawesome but they're stiff - even tho the relaxsaurus had jiggle and was released before. The relaxsaurus was also kind of aweful but in a shitpost kind of way - I had a good laugh at least. I think it's mostly because whoever was actually doing the modding was still new to it lol.

I'm game for a proper Dinawesome-girl. Or even both feral and girl type, the One of a Kind framework got an update that allows gender dependant / level dependant / condenser star dependant models. 1 and 3 star could be humanoid and 2 and 4 could be more feral, so if you change your mind you could condense it a level to toggle back

As someone who also wants to see this go through and proceed, and would like to see this become a Humanized Waifu mod. I honestly wish I could help but I have zero skill in this department, Best I can do it show my support via this Image I ran through an AI Art program I have of a Lunaris, don't mind the hands, this is actually one of the best ones to come out of it... This one doesn't show it but I'd like to think of Lunaris as a twintail hair style with glowing hair ornament pieces at the tips. I generated a lot more but 90% of them have horrendous hands... Not surprising but Lunaris three fingered hands don't translate well anyway.

[zileteh]

I fucking LOVE those proportions - curvy and has big (but not comically excessive) tits. Someone pls do it!

I agree to some extent. Please understand that my intentions aren't malicious, after seeing things unfold with that project as well as how contributors and the community was treated by a certain individual with my own eyes, i simply can not stand the idea of another clueless yet passionate person getting blindsighted by "Ohh, nothing is actually going on. We're just rebranding." only to have their time wasted in the end...

Personally im very results oriented. The results i see have not matched what was promised. As i mentioned earlier, the flambelle model and the Daedream model were perfect matches to what was promised, but those have not been released. The kattress model is of course good, but she is Kattress, the default of kattress is already good. So putting tits and a Vagina on her did not make her worse, but it didnt really make her better either. If that was all they were going to do then i would have rather just seen Kattress in a more lewd outfit or something. Same for Lunaris, they didnt touch her except give her tits and a vag. I would have THOUGHT they would atleast give her full humanoid hips and thighs, but they didnt even do that. So im not sure why they are taking their time on there best models (flamebelle and Daedream) and instead releasing the lazy ones. The petalia model, their very first model, is another dissapointing one. She remained exactly the same with the only acception being, you guessed it, tits and a vagina were given to her. But I am willing to give that one a pass only because it seemed to just be a test on how to get mods into the game.

AFAIK The devs from POD just left the team, but took their assets with them, are staying together and intend to make their own mod still. I'd say just wait n see what happens, those models will likely reappear in the future

Daedream is up in air, and I will be talking to the one who made it. Really, I just want the mod to happen. People are up in arms, and I think it's best I be vague here, as I would rather not have more bloodshed and drama over work being done for a community. I am moving on, and it's best most others do as well.

We have some concept art on the way for Nox both male and female, we are going to be doing Wixen and Chillet after. 
Models are not our focus at this current time, and we are starting slow, waiting, wanting frameworks to be stable, more well polished, and just over all want to take this at our own pace.

Our current plans are as folllows:
- Build a fun enviroment for the mod.
- Gauge community interest on Pals they like
- Draft up concepts for Pals for both genders
- Show off the designs through weekly streams or general engagement.

Anything beyond this, is taken with a grain of salt, because I personally just got overwhelmed with how fast PoD came to be, pumped out files, and the expansion of the mod itself. I want to take my time, have a clear goal in mind, and do what I want to do. A lot of misconception saying I cannot texture or draw are also false, I very much can, but it hurts to hold my drawing tablet's pen due to late progression carpal tunnel and diabetes causing excruciating pain after 30 minutes of drawing.

So, yes.. It will be a slow build but, and honestly? Thats okay. I want to do good work, not rush this. Below is a drawing of what Ive done, along with some UV stuff I did a while back when I started taking art seriously. This was a partial retexture screen I did for VR chat, and spent 9 hours on, but I lost the file, and never had it saved and blender crashed after, resulting in a very messy 30 minute into texture screencapture

I honestly feel the same way you do only in regards to skimpy armor mods with physics, LewdLad's going to be putting his behind his Patreon early access paywall, and even then he's primarily a Genshin Mod Maker so it will take extra time to public release. Blehbreh has the only publicly available Exposed armor mod and was working on a Skimpy version of which said was 80% done a week ago, I've been chomping at the bit refreshing the Nexus often every night to see if something's been uploaded but still nothing.

As to my thoughts on this whole ordeal, the only models out of the PoD that I like are literally just Lunaris and Katress, even then I think Fungi's Lunaris is some what cuter than the PoD one if it didn't have the weird feet.... I can't say I've kept up with the discourse here since I'm not in any of the Discords and only see what gets discussed on the LL forums. But they are right in saying this mod would be far more difficult to implement than just what the PoD people are doing. Literally have to build new skeletons depending on the Pal, new animations, etc. it would basically be a full overhaul of the majority of Pals, and I hate to say it but commissioning and building your own team on your own payroll might be the best option if you want to see it done in any sort of expedited pace.....

[zileteh]

The One-of-a-kind mod updated for allowing differences between male / female, level, and other fun things. Supporting gender-specific mods at minimum would be very nice.
