Thanks for the update. That ghost is pretty good BTW.
The Japanese concept of wabisabi:
The closest concept in english would be 'rustic'
They might have an old thing, one example is a favourite bowl or dish, it's broken, pieces are missing, why fix it?  With gold and pieces from other dishes?

No problem. And I'm glad you like Mesphit.

Re: Preset Tips and Scripts (Updated with Fluffy Mane Fix)

Updated the OP with a fix for the Fluffy Mane not working in presets.

Let me know if presets with the fix export correctly, since I haven't had time to thoroughly test it. I've only looked at it in the preset maker.


Edit: Works as intended. Exported without problems.

Can I use the normal spiky mane file for the fluffy mane?

My presets.

Good things take time, so I'll take an eternity and create something so good that the human brain can't handle the sheer goodness of it.

Possibly. I've overlaid the UVs for the regular and fluffy manes, and the transparent areas seem to match up, so hopefully it'll look fine.

Edit: Looks a bit weird to me.


You could try masking the lower portion of the spiked mane with the FManeMask2 texture and see if that makes it look better. Otherwise, I think you'd be better off using 2 different mane textures for the fluffy and spiked.

Edit: Apparently the texture for the normal and fluffy mane must be the same. The game only loads the textures for the default body parts defined in the material file, so you also have to keep the normal mane section in, regardless of whether or not you actually use it. Disappointing to see that you can't use separate textures, but it is what it is.

when exporting a preset with the glowing outline effect , it always says that it failed to export .
i followed the instructions and the effect shows up when i'm in the preset maker .
i can provide screenshots if needed .

Hey there! I've heard of this happening, but I'm not sure if there's a fix for it. I'd be more than happy to try and help you though!

If you could copy and paste your material file code so that I can run through it, that'd be great. If you'd rather not post it publicly, then you can always pm me instead.

Cheers!

I don't mean to sound belligerent, but did you even read the original post? How are any of the things I've shown "old news"?

I will concede that Brokami appeared to be the first to implement eye reflections in their "FeralHeart HD" mod back in 2014 (which was later removed by them), but they've never showed others how to do it. I went through trial and error to figure out how to replicate the effect 3 years later.

And correct me if I'm wrong, but I have not seen a single tutorial on this website in regards to using rim lighting before I added it to my thread. I also haven't seen anyone release the UVs for the manes and tufts, and I've certainly never seen a fix for the fluffy mane issue either.

If you already knew how to do all of this, then it will be old news to you, but that isn't the case for many users. Not to mention the fact that this thread is just under a year old and has been kept updated since its creation.



Edit: Re-reading this now, I can see that I might have come across as hostile. That wasn't my intention, I assure you.
