Which files are these where you have tan lines? I can’t seem to find those 

[Commander78]

@hornycopter do you plan to ever release a version with bigger breasts? I LOVE your shadow of tomb raider mods where Lara has bigger breast ! Was wondering if something like that is something for this game ? Thansk!!

You need latest of my HC Aloy files. Skin tone and body hair are customized inside "Main file".

Plan for now - update and fix bugs for all my current HFW outfits, finish two more outfits for HFW, make one new outfit for SotTR - after that we'll see.
Most definetely not gonna make as much body types as for SotTR for any game in the future - so maybe I'll add only two new body types for HFW, if any at all.

MM 0.8.5 now allows you to patch outfit files with hair files - to combine both mod types into single one on your own PC.

Made small tutorial on how to do so as article on Nexus:

Thank you so much for the help with the mod question and getting back to me about the body type inquiry. Your work is amazing look forward to see what’s upcoming

Does this apply to hair dyes as well so we can have different hair dyes to different outfits?

Didn't look into hair material myself yet, you should ask author of  "The Colour Bar" mod itself - HardcoreHobbyist.

My guess and it's just a guess - you can only change hair color for all outfits at once - because Aloy's hair material or texture is shared across all Aloy's models.

Astonishing work, hornycopter. Thank you. I've already tested some of the outfit variants in game.

I would also like to create a new Aloy outfit in Blender for HFW. One that requires a complete nude body.
I've already extracted the existing outfits and collected the body parts from each one and merged them together. So a nude "barbie doll" body of Aloy does exist in the game files. Except for the pelvis area for which I had to repurpose the pants from one outfit. The pants were shrinkwrapped to her original body model when it was created, I assume.
I understand there is a texture image for the complete "barbie doll" body provided by the game. But no nude body model. And I haven't found Aloy's head yet 😆

 

The body model you have created is more detailed, and therefore better. What is your opinion on sharing your model to enable other creations? The blender file for example?
Or is it possible to extract models and textures from mods? I'm still learning and looking into the current tool landscape 😄
Any help is appreciated.

Don't want to release my model source files publicly. Don't want it end up on some asian sites as part of lazely made paid mods that use some stolen outfits, especially while I'm still working on my own mods. My thought on the matter at least right now.

If you just learning and haven't release mods before - I suggest you to not put any more time into body model for now - for now it should work for tests as is  (maybe only some weight groups for crotch part needs renaming for different outfits).

First make quick prototype of your outfit - make super basic forms, base UV, reuse materials that's already available in outfit that you want to replace. Then most importantly - learn how to put your models in-game and how to make them work correctly - that's the most tricky part.

If you succeed in that - then we can talk about some kind of collaboration and sharing my model and textures in some form.

You should check tutorial by JohnnyDazzling on the basics:

HFW Export-Import Tutorial.pdf

P.S.: For my already released outfits - you can also try to reuse my "mesh.stream" file for body and ".core" outfit files during making of your own "mesh.stream" files for same outfit. Model weights from your current body model should be quite close to my model so you can also use your current body for weight transfer for your test outfit. I've started with my HC Aloy pretty similar - by combining different HFW female body models, I think they all share same basic model weights.

Fantastyczne mody. Wielkie dzięki za nie. Gra dostała nowe życie, a w zasadzie stała się teraz nieśmiertelna. Zrób proszę Aloy z większym, bardziej okrągłym i podniesionym biustem, ale nie zmieniając ani trochę pozostałych części ciała, gdyż są idealne, cudowne i rewelacyjne. Fajnie by było, gdyby była fizyka piersi. A nie myślałeś o wprowadzeniu do swoich modów wibratorka czy jakiegoś bolca w pochwie ? Jeszcze raz dzięki za tą Twoją wspaniałą pracę. Pozdrawiam

[Reforged]

Aloy is perfect, well done HC.
You have turned this from a game I have avoided into a game I will 100% even on Ultra Hard.

100s of hours of enjoyment because of you.

if we're talking about NPC outfits, the lowland clan outfits are just begging for a skimpier version.

 

I'd love to see aloy in those that top with like 2/3 of reeds missing, so you can clearly see her tits, but she still pretends she's covered.

Yep, also noticed this one 😏, already added to my ref images pile, still need to find it inside game files first though

"Ladies and gentlemen, we got him." 😁

Already extracted files for this top - looks like It shares 3 out of 4 materials with one of my outfits in the working and incompatibility with last material I think can be solved by just replacing all textures for it. So I think there is pretty high chance I'll be able to reuse this top from NPC for Aloy 😎

I kinda agree except I wouldn't want them naked but in skimpy outfits instead.

I was actually noticing the potential of this top TODAY when in Thornmarsh.  Fantastic!

It's not that easy if you want same quality as in my HC Aloy - I've explained it in this post before. I think nobody will be satisfied (myself at first place) if I'll make topless only one random female model for one clan that you'll probably encounter only 5 times during whole playthrough. I think it'll be expected that mod should change outfits for all NPCs of one clan at least.

Only for generic females NPCs of one clan I think I need to track down and replace at least 10 models and 6 textures (most likely it will be even more if I take more time looking into it). If we want to maintain variety of body types across NPCs as in default game - I also need to spend quite amount creating additional body types for my body model. 

If I ever open this can of worms work for one clan - there are six more main tribes and clans in game with different outfit - and that's not speaking about story characters - they have sets of models and textures of their own. So yeah NPCs mods overall feels quite intimidating for now.

Honestly, that's so fair dude. I'm probably speaking for most here, but as long as you are feeling up to it we'd love to keep getting more stuff/outfits/etc for our Aloy!
Aloy > everyone else!
You truly are the GOAT

Understandable! Personally, I feel like it could be impactful and worth it if used on a few NPCs but ones that are important (Zo, Regalla, alva, Dekka) or seen often (like gear vendors or guards at the main gate). I could see it as not everyone wants to be topless all the time or maybe baring yourself to the elements is the mark of a brave warrior. 

I also wouldn't mind compromising on quality or variety for them, especially since you've already done such great work with aloy. 

 

 

Of course its up to you and what you want to do.

I wonder, how difficult would it be for aloys skin to be always wet? (like after she just finished a swim)

[DirkDubbel]

Hi Copter, 

Asking this one here as you might not see the question on Nexus: 

As always, thanks so much...really enjoying all your work on a daily basis!
Would it be at all possible to add the VarTR - Nude Naughty"" and VarTR - Loincloth SFW"" versions without the cape?

PS. any other outfits in the making?
PPS. when are you going to setup a donation account? I feel an urge to support your work!

Sorry for the spam

Love the work as always!

[kingcody]

Hey @hornycopter is there any chance of getting a skimpy/nude/slutty version of the Utaru Winterweave or any of it's variants pretty please?
Personally I love the look of this armour, the leg wraps, the belt with the waistcloth and hanging bits... it's begging for something skimpy

Could this be done by any chance?
