    Might have been worth mentioning in a more timely matter, but as of late March my output/direct interaction with VAM has been on indefinite hiatus. I'm still logging on and checking out new resources on a relatively frequent basis, but I currently do not have my desktop setup and won't be doing any further work inside the VaM application for some time.

    Normally this wouldn't matter since I'm a low-profile user with extremely niche appeal in my limited output, but recently I've had a few more requests to release my edits to CGCharmer's "Jazzy Rhythms" look, so yeah. Not gonna' be happening for the time being; sorry folks. 🙁

    Following the request below, I've updated my MEGA with the promised Chel morph add-ons. Oni's last upload altered everything to a CC BY NC ND when he made the model free, so these edits (that still require his original resource) should be fine.

    Have a peek, and let me know if you like (one of these days I'll get Jessica up).

    ...oh and here's a link to the original, in case you're curious but don't already have it:

    Chel (import by OniEkohvius)

    Happy New Year!

    Hey, would it be possible for you to share the Chel morph preset? You got her perfect in your "Chel Dorado" picture. Also happy new year!
    Stars&Garters

    Apologies for leaving you hanging on this...but the truth of the matter is your mention of my old Chel edit had me go check it out again, and then I accidentally the whole day with her (and some of today too 👀)!

    I promise you that I will generate not just a preset, but a merged morph add-on to share when I next get the opportunity. I'll post it to my Mega and link you, although naturally you'll still need Oni's free resource first; the add-on morph will be made so you just apply it to the existing scene/model.

    And thanks for the interest! I felt like I did a pretty good job editing the face for better accuracy but you'll have to tell me what you think once you see it up close. Ultimately of course it was just a result of someone asking for THAT model that makes it look inaccurate, rather than some more accurate source for Oni to import.

    Don't worry for the timing of the response (it wasn't late, I'm used to replies taking a while lol). That would be wonderful, and make sure to take your time. And yes I agree that Oni did a great job porting that model. It wasn't their job to change the morph that isn't the most accurate.

    It's on my MEGA now. The face edits are obviously the big thing but I made some slight body edits too; the morph is split nicely though you can just have the head if you like. That's what took the most time anyways; the body is standard "more booba" type vibes that anyone can do.

    I mean, anyone can do the face edits too, techincally, but it's def hard to just magically come across what looks nice. It takes actual time and a lot of available morphs.

    ...anyways, let me know (preferably via DMs at this point) what you think now that you'll have the opportunity for the ol' "up-close-and-personal" assessment. ^_~

    I love the Aigis photos you took, she looks so pretty! If I may ask how did you get the lighting and her mouth/teeth to look so good? Mine aren't the best with realistic teeth and stuff ^^"

    Thank you so much! While my scene composition is still poor/uninspired, the tools keep getting better and I have been getting better with lighting concepts.

    Please of course make sure the vast majority of your praise goes towards OniEkohvius, the importer responsible for such a fantastic model. I have a lot of fun wasting away the hours with his models...even if I can only output actually-decent shots once in a blue moon. Aigis herself represents the pinnacle so far of his Persona imports; who knows if we'll see other Reload models in the future? They're so nice in the actual game and seeing them transfer over so well is incredible.

    Other praise of course goes to asset/plugin wizards such as moyashi (postprocessing), HuntingSuccubus (celshader), ChainedStar (toon skybox), DemonLord (skybox coloring), Charlestone (beach), and a few others I'm forgetting.

    I'll have a detailed answer for you regarding the scene setup in a direct message.

    Hey there. In your postprocessing plugin review you mentioned a Sally FXCUAshader. I've looked for it but could not find it. Can you help me out?

    CUAshaderMod - Plugins + Scripts -

    More or less experimental Plugin to change the shader/color/alpha on a CUA atom. (CustomUnityAsset) Can be used for artistic effects or as debug tool to mess around with shaders. To modify the color or alpha I recommend to set something like...
    hub.virtamate.com hub.virtamate.com

    You'll have to do some tedious swapping around with the various options that pop up for whatever CUA you apply it to, but every now and then you find something that significantly improves the look. So far I find it most useful on some older CUA hair imports.

    I've finally made a MEGA link that SHOULD have everything needed to recreate the most(ly) recent version of my custom Rarity look!

    Sorry it's not a VAR, it's a mess I know. ;_; I would have loved to have something more elegantly packaged for her, but alas.

    This is the best MLP look in VAM. Thanks so much for sharing

    hi i like your mlp models i'm trying to make a good anthro character like in hoofbeat 2 and it would be tremendously helpful if you could help with the models
    Stars&Garters

    Well, in both cases I currently have examples of (the Rarity and the Pinkie), they're just imperfect edits of existing models released by OniEkohvius. For Rarity in particular there's also a problem of her eyebrow clothing being sourced from a creator who's since been removed from the Hub. Additionally, trying to make it just like the webcomic you mentioned will be tough because what I've posted is pretty much the best I can manage. We can only get so close to 2D from a 3D space ?

    However, I'd be happy to help you get closer to what I have as best I can, so I'll take it to DMs to see about doing that.
