HC Mods corner (SotTR, HFW)

[hornycopter]

Learning more about Blender tools bit by bit every day - I think I finally figured out a way to transfer my existing body shapes from Lara to Aloy model, despite of different topology. Process is not automatic, still need a lot of manual fixes, but saves a lot of time nonetheless, much better then sculpting everything from scratch again.

Had a breakthrough today - so couldn't wait to see some results - spent extra hour or so to quick test the transferring of "Voluptuous" body type from Lara:


Keep in mind - screenshot is deceptive🥸 - will need to spend quite more hours to finalize this body type and a lot more to fit all outfits to it.

 

Anyone have fun nicknames for this new Aloy look? Maybe Aloy the "Wide-Rooted Mother" of Nora? 😄
Known also as "Iron Forge" by Oseram and "The Living Asset" by Quen? 😁

Yo if you ever adapt your more muscled body from your Lara nude mod, the "Iron Forge" nickname would fit her perfectly. As a matter of fact, I think that body would fit Aloy perfectly. (Her regular, current body doesn't seem to fit the immense strength she seems to have.)

[Batcreature]

Hi @hornycopter I’m not sure if something like this would be possible for both Aloy and Lara. I mentioned it before on Nexus, and since you’re moving into new territory with SOTR, I thought it could be a good moment to revisit the idea.

How about "Aloy, Savour of Meridian" or "Aloy, Flame-hair Whopper" or "Elisabet SoBIGG"

Witam Geniuszu Hornycopter. Stworzyłeś niedawno idealne ciało Aloy. Proszę poprawić tylko jej piersi. Nie rób karykatury z tak pięknej dziewczyny poprze zrobienie wersji grubasa. Przepraszam, jeśli to zabolało. Pozdrawiam

It's just a test - so I used most dramatically different body type to see the limits of my new methods. For now I'm just figuring out in background how different body types can be handled for HFW modding.

Current thoughts on the matter:

• most likely my main HFW "Nude and Skimpy" mod will have total of three body types at some point and to simplify my job of fitting all current outfits to them  - they will have restrained amount of differences.
• those body types most likely will be - "Vanilla" (current one), "Petite" body type (with smaller breasts. areolas and thinner legs) and "Busty" body type (same as "Vanilla" just with bigger breasts).
• other body types with more drastic changes (like "Voluptuous" or "Amazon") will have to be new separate mods altogether it seams - not all outfit parts will work with them and I'll have to make more drastic changes to weights (for animation) of other outfit parts- so they gonna have their own more limited outfit options.

 

Plans for nearest future still unchanged though - first "Tenakth Dragoon" outfit for Aloy (with bug fixes for other outfits) - then at least one new outfit for SotTR Lara - then return to HFW again.

Not bad 😁, my turn - "The Nora's Wide Blessing", "The Curve of Meridian", "The Bountiful Anvil", "The Crimson Curve" 😄

If anyone have more suggestions or likes some of current ones - speak out - I mights use them to name new mods.

When you return to SotTR do you plan on finishing the story-related outfits, Poncho and Adventurer, or do you plan on working on other outfits instead?

After Aloy's "Tenakth Dragoon" I'll try to create my version of Lara's main outfit of the game - "Tactical Adventurer", maybe will tackle "Poncho" along the way if I find fast way to do so.

Second in priority for SotTR - SFW versions for my "Outsider" and "High Priest" outfits.

Third in priority for SotTR - not quite desided yet - maybe update of my "Classic TR" from texture mod to model replacement mod, maybe final form of my "Wild Huntress" mod, or maybe some new outfits. Would like to hear other opinions about it.

Remake of TR1 I think is coming at the end of summer or in fall of 2026 - really looking forward to mod it, especially to use normal, out of box UE bouncy bones physics (hopefully) and not painfully hack my way to make them work as I used too 🤪.

I think it would be wise to fulfill most of my SotTR outfit ideas before release of remake - so I thinking of restricting myself to only main "Busty" body type for SotTR Lara - then come back from time to time to add missing body types later. Would like to hear other opinions about it too.

P.S.: I've already tackled SotTR "Adventurer" outfit - it's called HC Lara Jungle.

Oh nice! I lost track of your progress and so went back to the mod page on nexus and it listed Adventurer as being in progress with nude support so I figured the outfit-specific mod wasn't done yet. I've been holding off on doing a playthrough until you finished all story outfits so I could play it from start to finish with your mods, so I'm looking forward to your next update.

 

Also I agree that it would be good to finish up your mods before the remake comes out as Legacy of Atlantis is going to be a UE game and will be sooooooo much easier to mod that once you start on that one you may never return to the convoluted tools of these games 😄

I'm currently re-playing HZD using Queen Jessie J's mods and then I'll be straight onto my first ever playthrough of HFW, using hornycopter's mods. I'm glad I decided to wait for HFW until the mod scene was there. By the way, a mod like this one for HFW would be amazing.

For your third priority, I'd love to see you revisit your Wild Huntress mod. Also by "Classic TR" do you mean your Leotard and Shorts mod? That'd be equally as amazing. I've personally held off of completing my current playthrough in case you revisited them. If you do end up working on more than one SOTR outfit, restricting the body type to Sporty or Bombshell and coming back later for the other body types sounds like a great plan of action and compromise. 

 

That being said, I'm excited to see what you'll get into in the remake/remaster as well. Since it was possible to port over the body types you've already created for SOTR onto HFW, maybe it'll port over to Legacy of Atlantis with minimal issue. Fingers crossed, it's always one way or the other with UE5

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:

Just for everone who wants to patch hair you will probably need to continue using 0.8.5 since the patch hair button seems to be broken on MM 0.9.1 and 0.9.2

I now consider "Busty" body type as main one for my HC Lara - it's more suitable for outfits with decollete.
Some also say it's more canon when she has two big "cannons" 😁


Overall "Busty" is the same as "Sporty" just with bigger breasts.

I doubt that new Lara is gonna have almost complete full body textures (like Aloy in HFW) in game files, it's very unusual - so most likely I'm just goona straight up reuse my model from SotTR with all body types, just gonna adapt it to new skeleton - same as most modders usually do.
No new body textures - no benefits of creating new body model (as I've done for HFW).

TR community was starved for years without new games, also It is one of the most proficient modding communities ever - on top of that UE a lot more modding friendly than any proprietary engine - overall my bet is - game will be available for modding within the first month after release. Will see if I'm on point with that 😁

It should work, 0.9.2 working for me at least. Algorithm just changed a bit - you don't need to change priority to 0 and 1 to patch hair anymore - mods just need to have "outfit" and "hair" tags to make "Patch Hair" button became active. You can add tags yourself to mod's "modinfo.json" if it's missing some.

The nude mod looks so damn good that I might actually replay Forbidden West again. I just hope the female side characters can get mods in the future.

Files list is here, but unfortunatelly in this outfit shoes are linked with shorts (or loincloth) and I've missed to create variation with full shoes and no shorts. Will add this option in next update to this outfit.

id-daemon released update to his HFW modding tools - problem with weights of custom head models now fixed! Hurray! 


Half of Aloy's face expression in photo mode still abysmal though, but that's on Guerrilla Games 😝 

With new tools - I've desided to make quick update to my Head Model Customizer this weekend - but it ended up full overhaul:

 

"HC Aloy Omega Prime" head model was added - it's my reimagining of Aloy look with still somewhat recognizable features. Different from "HC Aloy Alpha Prime" model - that was mostly just tweaks to original model.

Head textures now live in separate "Head Texture Customizer" to make mods management more convenient. Added several new options there regarding skin tone and smoothness (wrinkles removed) and basic makeup option:



Would appreciate if someone will thoroughly test new head model and textures and share results. Virtual photography is appreciated as always 🥺

*Edit, cleaned it up so it doesn't take so much scrolling space, sorry for the clutter!

Here's a few screenshots, with three different variations of combinations of texture and models. I've separated them by having different outfits on Aloy on the screenshots, so you can easier tell which is which.
