Hi guys,

CarpeNoctem asked me to post about a problem he encountered while working on the new unique event for Utako. Here is his message :

-----

Utako special event is supposed to be her wedding... but as SBPR doesn't offer any wedding dress model and as I didn't find any mod with such a suit, this dress must be added with Photoshop or any other image application. I have two problems which prevent me to produce some acceptable pictures of this dress.

- The suit used as a model is a dark-blue dress of SBPR. A change of color is needed to make the character pictures of Utako for this event. I have some results (not yet 100% finished) but I think the best I can do will probably be not as good as it should be. If somebody else can do better, it would be a good option to keep a good graphic quality level for Glassix.

- During the wedding scene, a couple of pictures are supposed to show Kei hidden under the dress, taking care of Utako's crotch without being seen by the crowd around. As we don't have any dress like this in SBPR, we have to add the whole skirt-part of it with Photoshop...I'm far from being good enough with this application to be able to produce acceptable pictures, even if I spent weeks or months on it. I'm not a graphist at all but an author. It would be a shame to have very bad quality picture level for this event, but I can't probably do better if I rely only on my skills. So if anybody here have some Photoshop skills and feel like they could can do better or help, it would be a better solution.

So guys, if you have some ideas or abilities, feel free to intervene. You can contact me at C4rpeN0ctem[at]yahoo.com

I'm ready to reward my savior by adding in Glassix a new H-scene with the girl of his choice in the place of his choice.

That's the gist of the problem. If you want more detail, feel free to contact him on his email or even here and I'll forward your questions.

Thanks for your time!

Might be a weird and totally dumb suggestion, but perhaps it's possible to use the program Honey Select, and mostly Honey Studio for a scene like that? It's also from Illusion and has extensive clothing(mods) and freedom with the studio to make any kind of scene you want.

Isn't honey select a more advanced version of SBPR? In that case, it should work...

I sent you something to check out

Nullshadow

it will, but it changes the art style significantly, and it would be jarring to have some art style suddenly reflect HS while rest be SBPR, and its too much work to redo all the pics.

This design would be a better match indeed but isn't this a dress for Honey Select ? As NullShadow said, using HS for these new shots would mess up the design since they are quite different.

Another thing to note is that even if we find a proper wedding dress in SBPR or HS, it would still be too small to fit Kei below by default. Which means some Photoshop is mandatory to make the skirt much bigger and fit Kei below.

You might've been asked this often enough to put it in a faq, but what objections do you have to using HS? The skin tones require tweaking to get a closer match to SBPR versions, but it's also an opportunity for redesign. In the process of converting my own SBPR characters to HS, I think they've all gained something in translation. I could show you a few examples of these.
