[HS][Request] Lu Lingqi from DW8 Character Mod

REQUIREMENT, SERIOUSLY READ THIS: You’ll need Wide Slider (INSTALLED AND THE GAME PATCHED WITH IT). If Hongfire is down, you can get it from here (search Wide with CTRL+F)

If you want to skip my blogging, you can do so, nothing about installing will be covered in these paragraphs.

Another request fulfilled.

Now this was actually hard. Dynasty Warrior games have terrible graphics, and here you can see why.

The mesh was so low poly I had to subdivide it, else it would look very weird. I’m talking about the head being barely 555 vertices.

The textures are also terrible. Her whole body, including the head and hair, share a single 1024×1024 texture, with the head being a zone of 384×256, and the hair being 256×256. And that applies for all maps (diffuse, normal, specular).

As with Vella, I had to upscale, but I had to upscale even more here, so your mileage may vary. Of course, I also replaced the teeth and tongue, the teeth with the DoA teeth since it’s more detailed than HS’ own teeth, and the tongue with HS tongue.

I also made the hair use a whole UV space for itself.

The expressions were easy to make though, the skeleton was good enough and the weighting was pretty good, even though I had to fix the eyelashes.

Even though she has no cheeks makeup, I added one that you can enable in the character maker if you wish to.

There’s two bugs though. Since her eyes are so big (I had to go over 100 for some sliders), the namida 03 mesh clips when enabled, so I made it smaller so that it doesn’t show up at all. So her crying level 3 won’t show anything different from level 2. I can’t properly fix this, sorry, with such extreme values it will either clip with the eye, or clip with the face. The other bug is that her eye highlights mesh might clip sometimes with the eyelid, but only on the left eye. This is also a result of having to go over 100 with the sliders. It’s not that noticeable though.
