#i will have to look into mesh modding but i'm scared.

[ladyinthebluebox]

HAHA!! i was actually debating the little stiching/embroidery on the top from the start thinking it miiight be a bit of an overkill (which it probably is but who cares, definitely not i. go big or go the fuck home is the way i go apparenlty (for better or for worse))

back of the top & the sleeve have to wait 'cause i'm waaaaayy past my bed time as it is.

oh no. i think i found one more detail to colour... brb alskjdksajdkl it looks so well

🟨 Appearance Creator Mod Infos Dump

With the release of ACM (Appearance Creator Mod) I wanted to dump some information that might be useful, especially for non-modders that want to play around with it!

(I had no involvement with the making of this mod at all, nor I have any tie with AMM development, just throwing my two cents as a regular user, player and modder)

You'll find some How To, Tutos and other useful heads-up under read more, if you plan on using this mod as a modding tool (sketching up outfits ideas before modding them as custom appearance for your blorbo for example) or simply want to play blorbo dress up!

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

First, You might want to get familiar with these suffix, as you will need to identify what part of a character's outfit you wanna swap

▶ Garments Components Names

h0 - Character's head mesh he - Eyes mesh heb - Eyebrows mesh ht - Teeth mesh hx - Head's details meshes (pimples, makeup...) hh - Hair mesh t0 - Character's Body mesh t1 - Torso Inner Garment (T-shirt, Tank top...) t2 - Torso Outer Garment (Vest, Jacket, Hood...) a0 - Character's Arms mesh (Cyberarms...) l1 - Legs Garment (Pants...) s1 - Feet Garment (Shoes, Socks...) i1 - Accessory / Item Garment (Cyberware, Belt, Necklace...)

▶ Garments Rigs Names

ma - Man Average mb - Man Big mc - Man Child mf - Man Fat mm - Man Massive wa - Woman Average waf - Woman Average Fat

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

⚠ It's important to note that Garments are NOT automatically refited to the character! You can use a WA garment on a Male NPC but it won't magically fit his shape

⚠ Johnny and Kerry, despite using the MA rig, both have a thinner bodies and most of the garment will float and appear larger on them

⚠ A lot of Garments have their own RIGs and physics, and might T-pose / break upon being swapped on your NPC of choice! For this reason, Hair with physics will automatically break as well

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

AMC is a standalone window in game, and not included in AMM main window!

After spawning a NPC, the AMC window should fill up with the spawned entity's garment components (and yes it can get crowded really quick, especially on smaller monitors and resolution)

Yes, It also works on NPVs and NPC+! 🔥

Everything on these windows can be overwhelming especially if you're not familiar with modding, so I'll throw a little example here using Scorpion

First I want to get rid of his hood and vest, without using AMM's custom appearance, using only ACM

In the list, I look for his Vest and his Hood component

We can easily turn them invisible by clicking the "Toggle" button Make sure to also disable any decals, stickers, and additional component (his vest also has a decal component, see in the screenshot)

The little icon next to a component's name indicate it has been edited in some way

I'll now switch his tank top for something else

Click on "Select From List" next to the "Mesh Path" of the desired component (in Scorpion's case, t1_060_ma_tank__corset) Open up the "Torso" list, and you'll be able to click on any of the listed t1 and t2 garments!

⚠ As mentioned above, garments doesn't magically refits on characters; Scorpion use the Man Average body and rig, anything that isn't a "ma" garment won't fit him correctly!

⚠ Another thing to be aware of is that a lot of garments's might break around the collar area! However if you plan on using this same mesh in an outfit, don't let that scare you, as it's easily fixable in blender

Export your desired mesh and look for the "NeckCollar_JNT" bone and simply rename it to "Neck" (blender will put some numbers next to it but that's fine, ignore that)

I'm going to switch to Valentin here to showcase how to deal with potential clipping 🤏 Since Valentin's body is customized, bit chubbier, he always needs refiting

Let's say you swapped your character's top for something else but part of his torso clips out

To put my boys titas away, I'll look for his body component (t0)

Click on "Chunk Mask" to open the garment's submeshes list

Garment's meshes are broken down in multiple submeshes that can be easily chunkmasked (disabled) at will to deal with clipping! This is why NPC usually don't even have a full body mesh when taking off their clothes, they are chunkmasked to avoid clipping :D

I will disable the Submesh 1 by unchecking the "1" box

Don't be afraid to click on multiple box and see what gets chunkmasked on different meshes! You won't break anything 👌

aaand for now that's about all I can think of that might be confusing for users- tho if you have question don't hesitate to ask on this post, to reblog or to come into DMs!

[arcandoria]

Hello <3 I hope this ask does not come off wrong since I am always scared of showing too much audacity :c Could I possibly ask you to make a tutorial on how to port garments to CP77? You make the best tutorials I have ever found and I feel like you would be my last resource because your explanations are the only ones I could ever understand </3 I sincerely hope you do not mind me asking and I hope you are having a good day!

Oh anon that is literally so sweet, I'm so glad you find my tutorials useful! I sometimes think I over-explain or simplify things too much so knowing it's helpful makes me really happy 💕💕💕

I can absolutely write down one! It might take a little while as I'm taking it easy with modding right now, but I'll try to pop one out as soon I'm able

If you'd like to start getting acquainted with some of the things that are necessary for garment porting, I suggest looking into:

Weights and rigs, and weight transfer

How Cyberpunk 2077's materials work

Mesh replacers vs. Archive XL

I'll still see if I can cover all these in the tutorial, but those items (and their branching knowledge needs) are what's most needed!

do you guys have anyone at your respective schools you hate and if you do why

can i say a teacher, can i say a teacher, pls say i can say a teacher, i’m saying a teacher, MS RAIFORT. i cannot stand her class and she scares the shit outta me and i think she probably killed someone once. — mod hondew

I don't know if I would say I hate anyone at the school! (^^; Maybe the student council prez but I wouldn't say I hate Nemona!! She's just... INTENSE!! (　´Α｀) I'm an energetic person and I can't keep up with her at ALL!!! Like I said though, I don't think I actually hate her. We just don't mesh that well. — mod starf

look i like to think im generally hard to piss off, i dont hate easily. but GOTDAMN if i don’t haaaaattteee the way that kieran’s ruined league club for so many of us. the club used to be fun till kieran came back from kitakami and beat drayton outta the champ position. drayton was cool drayton was chill he honestly made battling fun. but battlings no longer fun. league club aint fun no more. so many of us got kicked bc we couldnt meet the club’s new expectations like damn kid sorry for having a life outside of a school club thats meant to be fun??? — mod kelpsy

KIERANNNNN. KIEEEEEERANNNNNNNNNNN.

KIERAN !

Something I've noticed about the Reddit refugees compared to the Twitter refugees is that they're just better at using Tumblr.

The Redditors come in talking about how they customised Tumblr settings and then immideately find a corner of Tumblr they enjoy and dive in like they belong here. The Twitterers came in talking about how confusing they found Tumblr, and then either left or chanced on a corner they liked. The Redditors are simply better at figuring out how the site works, both mechanically and socially.

My guess is that that Redditors are used to adapting to different rulesets and cultures as they move between subreddits run by different mods, and the Twitterers expected everything to be monolithic and run by a platform overlord (I've yet to see a Reddit refugee censoring words to comply with an imagined TOS or Algorithim).

The Redditors are also better at talking with other users. I see a lot of them saying that Tumblr is better for this and more personal than Reddit, but I think this one might boil down to the character limit on twitter and the fact that twitter is build on sharing posts and Reddit is built on commenting on posts. The Redditors came in talking, the Twitterers not so much.

Also, the Redditors seem to have already known what to expect, culturally. The ones who came here did so because they had some vague idea of what Tumblr was like and wanted to join that culture. The Twitterers were looking for a direct Twitter alternative and tried to bring their twitter culture to Tumblr, which didn't mesh so well. The "rent lowering gunshots" that scared off so many Twitterers seems to have attracted the Redditors.

The Twitterers were kind of resistant to Tumblr culture, all those How To Tumblr posts were met with "I'm not doing that, I WANT bots to inflate my follower count" and "but what if I get shadowbanned for saying the word 'die'??", and the Redditors are filling those posts comments with thank you notes.

So, wanted to give a little preview of my current projects. All of them are still very WIP.

First, we have the Hun warrior and genocidal maniac himself:

He's a lot further along than this image shows: I'm just having trouble getting his CC to work right in-game. His facial hair won't show up at all, and until literally 3 minutes ago his clothes refused to morph to a masculine body. 😩

I'm getting it figured out though! It won't be long before I share more complete pics. His hair mesh is NOT my work, so upon release he *will* require a third-party download.

Next up...

I haven't seen Maui done before. He's obviously nowhere near being finished. His tattoos are hard to do, but I'll get them right eventually! The ones here are just vanilla placeholders.

I really need to find some "extreme body morph" mods to get him right. His eyes need to be closer together, for one, and the basegame won't let me push them any further. And aside from the above, I need to find/make good CC for his grass skirt and necklace. Bummed that Island Living didn't have anything closer.

And finally...

The Shadow Man himself: Dr. Facilier! I haven't even started on CC for him besides the hat, so he's a long way off. Even still, I don't think I did too poorly so far!

And I saw that a recent expansion has actual Voodoo, so I might need to think about buying that. Mischief skill does work decently enough though.

And finally, I do have an Ursula but she looks TERRIBLE. I want her as a Mermaid with Vanessa as her land form, but unfortunately the two forms are locked into sharing the same muscle and body-mass sliders... If I can find or make a mod that will let me customize the sliders, that would be perfect.

Err, third finally... If anyone knows of a Werewolf life state mod or something, please comment! I don't know what to do about Beast. Maybe one day I can figure out how to mod Vampires to get a suitable effect...

Anyway, that's everything I'm trying to accomplish. Constructive criticism is appreciated; I know I have loads of room for improvement.

I'm really scared to update my game though. 😅 I'm worries it'll break all my CC, especially with the skin tone upgrade! So wish me luck that that DOESN'T happen.
