Live now in HeroMachine 3 Phoenix Edition, 18 new Tops -> Female Dresses in that lineart-heavy style I’ve been trying out with some of the latest releases. Enjoy!
All-time HeroMachine Legend AWS recently asked for a male torso with more abs to make more muscly characters. So now, as befits the legacy of a legend, you all get to enjoy it to! Now available at the end of the Body Male Standard set. Here it is (left) in comparison to the standard torso:
Ten new hand poses are now available in the Hand Right and Hand Left Standard sets! These are more of a “Casual” kind of set, so less “Dr. Strange casting spells” and more “Let’s just hang out” kind of a vibe. Here’s what they look like:
Hands are a lot more difficult to create than other items because I have to make an itemMask that gives the effect of another item being held in it. That’s always a mind-bender for me.
Also in this update, the “Color All Skin” button now works the way it should have from the start. It applies both Color 1 and Color 2 to all skin slots at once, and feet are now included in the skin group. No more having to manually color-match your character’s toes unless you’re into that which, hey, no judgment here, you do you.
I probably had it not that way before since so many of the “Foot” items are actually Footwear instead of body parts. If you don’t like “Color all skin” affecting them, let me know and I can change it back.
I’ve added some new items to HeroMachine 3 Phoenix Edition for your character creation enjoyment, starting with some JAFOs (Just Another F…reaking Observer):
And because nothing makes friends stick close more than being Becky (or Bill) With the Good Hair, you can now use these in Hair -> Male Standard:
Enjoy! I know the lineart on the male companions isn’t quite as slick as usual but I find myself wanting to introduce a little more variation in what’s available. Hope you like them!
I’ve just released some new additions to HeroMachine 3 Phoenix Edition that I hope will help people make some interesting and cool characters you couldn’t before. The big star is a set of new Dreadlock styles that I am super excited about, I think they came out really well. And while I was at it I added some more lips and noses for the female template that give additional flexibility. I can’t wait to see what you all are able to create with them!
