The sole of the season

Posted on December 22, 2009 by AFDStudios | 14 comments

I have just published the FootRight-Female set of items to the HeroMachine 3 Alpha. I was hoping to translate them to the FootLeft, but frankly I ran out of time before I have to leave for vacation tomorrow. Oops. But, this way you can suggest new items or point out problems and I can fix them when I get back in just one set instead of both.

In the meantime, to get the shoe on the other foot (ha ha! See what I did there? GENIUS!), use the “Multiples” setting and the “Flip” function.

Here’s one page of samples to whet your appetite:

Note that I tried something different with this release, putting in feet in different “poses” as well as varying the angle of the foot in different items. I don’t know if that’s going to work or not, but my hope is that it will allow you more flexibility in designing the layout of the character.

As always, let me know what you think in the comments. Hope you like the new stuff!

HM3: Addressing a dress

Posted on December 13, 2009 by AFDStudios | 36 comments

I’ve just posted the Tops-Female-Dresses and Legwear-Female-Dresses sets to the HeroMachine 3 Alpha. In general the Tops contain full dresses which are then broken down into just the tops in most cases, while the Legwear items are just the dress bottoms for the most part.

I included quite a few items from the requests you made in the last thread, thank you! Unfortunately a number of them were inappropriate or not suitable for this particular kind of application, but there are still a lot. Others you can craft by using a top with a different bottom. Hopefully you’ll find what you were looking for, or can make it with strategic application of various other bits and masking.

Here are a few samples:

While there are a couple of bustier-type Tops here, for the most part a full set will have to wait for the translation of the dedicated Bustiers items from 2.5 on over to the new version. Keep in mind, though, this isn’t “PornMachine”, so don’t get your hopes — or whatever — up too much.

Let me know in the comments what you think of the new release, any items you want to see added to them, or any problems you find. Also let me know what you’d like me to work on next.

Thanks everyone!

HM3: Dress suggestions

Posted on December 7, 2009 by AFDStudios | 50 comments

I’m going to start working on Legwear – Dresses today, including a conversion of the 2.5 items and whatever new ones you all want. If you’ve got particular requests, please leave them in the comments. Links to actual images are best. Thanks for helping make these releases better, without your input the offerings would be very slim indeed!

HM3: A hairy situation

Posted on December 5, 2009 by AFDStudios | 22 comments

I am happy to announce the release of the Female Standard set of items for the “Hair” slot in HeroMachine 3! With 79 items, 2/3 of which are brand new and the rest properly sized and positioned conversions from the Male Standard set (pony tails, bangs, that sort of thing), this is one of the larger sets to date. Hopefully you’ll be able to find just the right combination to make your character come to life.

Many thanks to the folks who posted requests and suggestions in the last thread, they were very helpful. I wasn’t able to use them all, but you should recognize quite a few from that list. Here are a couple of previews:

HM3: Hair suggestions

Posted on December 2, 2009 by AFDStudios | 37 comments

It looks like “Female Hair” won out for the next set of items for me to work on, so if you have specific requests for that, please leave them in the comments to this post. Any links to actual images of what you want will be the most helpful, but anything goes.

HM3: Tops Female Spandex now available

Posted on December 1, 2009 by AFDStudios | 16 comments

As the title says, I’ve just released the “TopsFemaleSpandex” set of items into the wild for use with the HeroMachine 3 Alpha. All of the items from the male set are included, along with some extras for changing the waist line of the various tops, and a couple of halters. Here’s a quick look at a few of the latter:

Let me know in the comments if there are items you were hoping for that you don’t see, or any problems that crop up.

I’m not sure what I am going to work on next. People have requested some feminine footwear, although I was thinking that probably hairdos were a higher priority. Or maybe Dresses or something like that. Let me know what you’d like.

Many thanks to Hammerknight for these two great guides on how to properly position and scale the existing hands and feet for the female template. Good stuff as always! I am definitely thankful for HK on this Thanksgiving, and for all of you who are willing to share your creativity, humor, and time to help make this such a fun and entertaining site.

HM3: Female Legwear Spandex available

Posted on November 25, 2009 by AFDStudios | 12 comments

I’ve just updated the HeroMachine 3 Alpha with the Legwear Female Spandex set of items. I’ve converted over the male entries item for item, then added on several at the end including a French-cut version of the trunks, and then some leg sections so you can make horizontal-striped pants.

Enjoy!

HM3: High-waistin’

Posted on November 23, 2009 by AFDStudios | 7 comments

I just added seven new items to the Legwear-Female-Standard set for HeroMachine 3:

These are high-waisted hip sections of existing pants to allow you to dress your female characters in less low-slung legwear if you like. They work by choosing “multiples” for the Legwear slot, choosing the basic low-waisted pants you want, then layering one of these on top with the same colors. They cover up the zippers and such.

Separating out the hips from the actual pants should allow you to mix and match more flexibly. It would probably be a good idea for me at some point to do with Legwear what I did with tops, separating out the hip area and each individual leg pant portion. Something to think about down the road a ways.

And now, more Spandex!
