The push is clearly for doing legwear next, but looking at my list it appears all but the “Socks” from HM2.5 have already been converted. Which means I need suggestions for what else you would like to see in the Legwear slot, so let ’em rip in the comments.
As usual, please edit your requests — spamming the entire contents of a Google Image search for “Pants” is not helpful. Only request items that are a) not already in the program, b) you would really want, and c) have some sort of wide appeal.
Suggestions with links to an image of what you are wanting are the most helpful, but if text is all you have that’s fine too.
And thanks in advance for your input!
Posted in HeroMachine 3, Suggestions & Ideas
I’ve just updated the Headgear-Modern set for HeroMachine 3 with the following nine items drawn from the last suggestion thread:
Thanks for the ideas everyone! I’m not 100% sure what to work on next, so I’m going to take the next couple of days to work on prize items. By all means, feel free to make suggestions in the comments as to what set of items you want worked on next. In essence I’m going through the list of 2.5 sets and converting those but as to which it ought to be, I’m open.
ETA: Actually there are a couple of others, like a coonskin cap, included as well. Just check it out, they’re all at the end.

I’ve just published the latest set of items for HeroMachine 3, “Headgear-Modern”. It includes some of the appropriate items from Headgear-Standard and a more or less complete port of updated HeroMachine 2.5 pieces from the same set. Here’s a sample:
Let me know any problems you encounter, or missing items you’d like to see as part of the set, in the comments below.

Mark has continued his great work on ItemRight-Rifles for HeroMachine 3, and I’ve posted the updated set! Here are a few words from the man himself.
Hi all! Hope you enjoy the new Rifles Set. I tried to include all of the most iconic rifles and sub-machine guns from history and fiction. You’ll find the weapons that stormed the Bastille, the beaches of Normandy, the deserts of Kuwait and the terraforming colony on LV-426. Some weapons, like the ubiquitous MP-5, come in a million different configurations; where reasonable, I’ve tried to give you enough scopes, bi-pods, bayonets, retractable stocks and other accessories to customize each weapon just the way you want.
Now I’m not so arrogant as to think that I’ve included every long arm and accessory an HM3er could want, so I’m ready to take requests for the weapons I’ve missed. There are 92 items currently, and Jeff tells me that Flash starts to bog down if you get much past 100, so there’s room for about a dozen more items. Make your requests here in the comments of this post.
But here’s the thing–You know how Jeff wants reference pictures for items you request? I NEED reference pictures. And not just any picture, I need good resolution pics of the item flat-on the way it will appear in HM. I’m no artist like Jeff. At best, I’m a “graphics technician.” For example, this image I can replicate. The rifle in this image I can not.
So if you can find me a good reference pic for a rifle, sub-machine gun or related accessory that you’d like me to add, post it here. I’ll do my best to add the most popular requests.
Here’s the set of 12 sci-fi rifles, which look GREAT, as a teaser:
Thanks to Mark for his as-always wonderful work on this.

I’ve just added a “Fonts-Runic” set to HeroMachine 3 for your use in creating various magicky-looking bits. Most of these are just symbols, and only uppercase at that, so you might have to play around a bit to see all the permutations.
You can use these as a nameplate for the image; individual letters as insignia; sized and rotated for runic branding on weapons; individual letters rotated around for spell effects; masked onto skin as tattoos; or any one of a dozen other ways I am sure the creative community can devise.
Have fun!

I am still plowing through HM2 sets that need to be converted to HeroMachine 3. I’ve just posted the new version of the old “Coats-CapeFronts” set, which can now be found in “ShoulderRight-Capes”. Here they are:
Holler in the comments if you either see something wrong, or if there are specific items you’d like to see added. Requests with links to an image of what you want are the most helpful, but please make it specific — if I want to do a Google Image Search for “Capes” or “Cloaks” so I can get twelve dozen pictures I will do so. Limit yourself to no more than three requests, otherwise I’m going to mentally mark it as “spam” and move on.
That sounds harsh. I don’t mean it that way, it’s just that sometimes too much is worse than nothing at all. So only request things you really want, I think I have a pretty solid set already and am not looking for general reference, just specific items likely to be of interest to lots of different people to flesh it out.

I just updated the main HeroMachine 3 applet with a new pattern, meant to look a little more like chainmail:
It’s the last pattern in the “Patterns” tab. Let me know if you would like any tweaks to it. I don’t plan on adding any more patterns, each one increases the file size by 10% or so.

With help from the nice commenters on the last post, I’ve added the following items to Insignia-Nature for HeroMachine 3. Thanks guys!
Posted in HeroMachine 3, Previews
I’m happy to announce that the “Insignia-Nature” set of items for HeroMachine 3 is now live. In addition to almost three pages of nature-themed items from the Insignia-Standard set you’ve already seen, I’ve added another three pages of all-new entries as well:
Hope you like ’em! If you think I missed some items that ought to be there, or if you see a glitch of some sort, by all means let me know in the comments.
