[RESOURCES] Custom Models & Skins

[nargil66]

Ok, with a big delay and after several days of reshaping and "shrinkwrapping" in Blender, i attach below the next version of female model (this is final pre-release version of Ariadne HD v4):

You can compare v4 with v3b (previous official model) and the vanilla model here (nudity warning):

As always very nice to see your work. Thank you.

Alright, last few days i'm back on the nymph skin pack... but it's going slow for now. Only 5 of 16 skins are done. But i think they're decent at least. Here is a preview link:

I'll update this same album with more pics when more nymph skins are done. Stay tuned!

Here is a video to entertain you, until it's time for the next version:



The video is quite long, so i suggest watching on double speed. See description for more info.
Edit: Also it can't be watched here for some reason... @efko , do you know why?
Just watch it directly on Youtube.

All the hairs are tested and working now. See the last Imgur link above, the previews are updated

Okay, I have some major news regarding all the add-on mods that are scattered in here. I found the perfect tool to finally organize them and make them a lot easier to use, both for me and for the players. It's a small freeware program called JoneSoft Generic Mod Enabler (JSGME). I used it years ago actually (for another game), but have forgotten about it. You can check it here:

Just made some tests with it and it works exactly as intended for Titan Quest. Many thanks to @davoker on the Nexus forum who gave me the idea of using a mod organizer.
Now the plan is to rework all the latest add-ons to be compatible with JSGME. When it's done, you'll be able to switch between different add-on mods with just a few clicks.
Stay tuned!

Hello, new user here, greetings to all (づ￣ 3￣)づ

@nargil66 I see that my suggestion has paid off  I'm looking forward to see how that tool works when installing mods with many options like this one 

PS: The verification process to send a message is always like this? it takes longer to verify than to write the message hahaha

Welcome to the forum! Here is a preview of how the tool works (it's pretty neat and fast to use):

You have saved me a lot of time and trouble for future projects with your suggestion. Now almost everything can be in one place: NewSkins, Fallen Gods, Horse Rider... without constantly asking players "put this here", "rename this"...  Time to introduce a bit of order in all that chaos.
Regarding messages, only your first 3 posts require approval. Just a precaution for bots.
Thanks again!

An early pre-release version of NewSkins III is uploaded to MEGA (JSGME Edition), if someone wants to test. Here is the link:
https://mega.nz/file/bwJnyBqR#draM8lRYgy_85LAL34lUMSEtMdTuyom7Xvngf7zkO5Q
JSGME Tool is included. Some instructions:
1. Install JSGME first, picking your TQAE root folder as installation directory. Keep all other options as default.
2. Then merge the entire MODS folder from NewSkins III with the one created from JSGME (inside TQAE root folder).
3. Run JSGME. It should display your inactive mods on the left. I added instructions to many Addon folders, just read them for start.
4. Enable the mods you desire, then run Titan Quest. Your character skin, hair, model, etc. will be customized, depending on the options you picked.
5. Have fun with this early version!

Edit - I have found a major bug where if the mod folder name is too long, the mod itself won't install. If some of the mods doesn't work, just Right Click on the mod folder in JSGME, choose Rename and delete the help description. Or just wait for the next version.

Today's progress - I removed all explanation info from the folders and added it to a small ReadMe file. The other thing is, i'm taking screenshots of all skins and hairs in the mod. This time everything will have a preview. And trust me, there are A LOT of them.
Official release is slowly approaching...

Personally I will wait for the final release with your screenshots, to see how everything turned out, thanks for your work, it is an essential character change for me =)

All screenshots are added, along with info for the currently included mods.

And here is JSGME (Standalone) + quick install guide for Titan Quest:

I'd appreciate if someone test it. There are only a few more hairs to add and to prepare some final text files, but everything else should be working.

WOW! You have merged all your mods into one. An interesting idea with this program, it will certainly simplify your life and ours. Generally, well-made nymphs, as well as all the characters.

New Skins III v0.3 Beta is now uploaded on Nexus. You can find it in the Files section there. If you tested the previous version of NewSkins III, first disable all add-ons in JSGME, then empty your MODS folder completely before installing this one. Just delete all folders inside. DO NOT MERGE the two versions!

Much better now, more comfortable everything and with views of everything, it's great, Ariadne's change makes her thinner? I think this change could be due to the fact that before the textures of the clothes went through the skin of the legs for example, I don't know if I'm explaining myself well, having thicker legs, the clothes you put on her that reach the leg area, merged with the skin of the legs, being thinner should happen less, do you understand what I mean?

One question, the Maenad body can't be improved by making something more similar to how Ariadne looks like? but keeping the Maenad style, it would also be interesting to "separate" the wild cats mod, the model that replaces only the monsters and the one that replaces your character independently.

Very nice work.
