🎄 Merry Christmas from Map Controller 1.1 🎄

 

The Map Controller plugin now supports maps with multiple root objects, making it possible to control some maps that didn't use to be editable. 

Note that due to the way some mods are set up, there may be some objects that show up in this list that aren't part of the map and shouldn't be modified. Be careful to only control the actual map your you may get unexpected results!

Silhouette plugin 1.0 for StudioNEOV2

 If you've ever tried to make a scene with a lot of characters in StudioNEO, you know that the framerate can drop into the single digits, turning the UI sluggish and unresponsive so that it's very cumbersome to edit the scene. This new plugin aims to make this easier by letting the user toggle displaying characters that aren't currently being edited as low-poly "silhouettes" that render much faster. These low-poly models are built into the game, they can be enabled manually by toggling the "Monocolor" setting in the "Current State" menu, but this plugin automates their use!

How to use:

• Press the hotkey (default: 'W') to turn all characters that are not currently selected into low-poly silhouettes. Press W again to toggle them back to normal.
• Hold W for about a second to set all characters as silhouettes, including selected characters. This is useful when you want to reposition a large group of characters.
• To make it easier to tell silhouetted characters apart, when you add a character to the scene their monocolor value will be set to a small variety of shades. The color indicates the gender of the character;
• Pink for females
• Blue for males
• Turquoise for futanaris
• Not that this feature is only active when you add a new character to a scene after installing this plugin. In your existing scenes the silhouettes will all probably be the default blue. You can manually change the color in the "Current State" menu if you want more variety. You can also disable this coloring in the mod config menu if you prefer the default blue for all characters.
• Some monocolor values have special meaning:
• White means the character will be as normal, not silhouettes, even when they're not selected
• Characters with colors that are transparent, meaning alpha values at anything less than 100, will be ignored by the plugin. This can be useful if you want to use silhouettes for a large background crowd but still use the plugin when posing your main characters.

Finally, a shout out to my friend Maxim who is making Hot Springs Academy, a harem style visual novel with graphics and animations rendered in StudioNEO. It's got an overload of cute and hot high school girls, and a pretty funny story as well!

This release updates the Character Loader plugin for HS2 to be compatible with the latest version of HS2WearCustom by GarryWu. This allows for clothing, hair and body elements to be loaded separately.

Move Controller 1.7: Move accessories - CharLoader fix

The latest release of the Move Controller for AI Girl and Honey Select 2 Studio NEO makes it possible to move around and rotate a character's accessories as if they were studio items. Press the new "Accs" button on the workspace panel to toggle this feature.

(A known limitation is that this feature doesn't work for accessories in the extra slots created with the "More Accessories" plugin.)

There's also a small fix to the CharLoader plugin that may improve performance.

UPDATE: Move Controller upgraded to version 1.7.1 with minor bugfixes.

Map Controller Plugin for Honey Select 2 and AI Girl

 

This new plugin lets the user selectively hide or reposition specific parts of a Studio map, like the saloon doors in the picture above. This function works on all Illusion made maps and most community maps.

Navigate the tree of map elements in the plugin window to find the element you want to modify. The plugin draws a green outline around the selected element to make it easier to  see what you are doing. You can also right-click a node in the tree window to make the element and all sub-elements flash for a moment, to make it a bit easier to navigate to the element you're looking for. 

To show the plugin, press the "Map" button in the lower-left corner to bring up both Illusion's map controller and this new plugin.
