Frequently Asked Questions: (Patreon)

Q: How do I install these poses and characters?
A: Simply download the zip file for the game that you play, open, and drag the "Userdata" folder into your main game install directory (ex. C:\ProgramFiles\Honeyselect).

Q: How do I load the pose files?   
A: In studio, go to the top left of the screen and find: "Anim" > "Kinematics" > "Pose" > "Freelancer604" all of the pose files are in their respective folders here. **FK poses are not accessible (yet) in the main game or in the character creator.

Q: What is your release schedule?
A: My aim is to release a standard pose pack on the 10th and 25th of every month. I also aim to release one exclusive (mini) pose pack every month, along with one HS2 character every month as tier benefits.

Q: I do not see the download links in this post!?
A: Please proceed to the newest release to find the download. All of the older poses are now available in the latest release, in its most updated form.

Q: Which character cards do I get access to in the sponsor tier?
A: You will get access to all the characters that have been released so far 10+ for HS1 and 10+ for HS2. No character cards for Koi yet. As an added benefit, each month beginning Jan 2023 will feature a limited-time variant of an existing character which features a different outfit, hairstyle, and/or makeup. You can preview them on my Pixiv or by scrolling back and seeing the preview posts.

Q: What are exclusive card variants?
A: As added incentive for those who stay on, I create an addition "variant" card for the character of the month. This card is only included in the Patreon download package for 30 days. The variant will feature the same character as the base card, but with altered hair, makeup, and outfit which targets a different tone or theme.   

After the 30-day period, exclusive variants are only available as part of the card packs sold individually on BOOTH.

Q: Why are your HS2 poses not in PNG format?
A: I finalize my poses in HS2 and send them to the other games for conversion from there, therefore, the PNG format is not compatible with my production workflow. For pose files accompanied with sample images in HS2, you can try my VNGE files.

Q: Do you take commissions for custom poses or characters?
A: Commissioned poses are a perk of the sponsor tier. If you are working on a project and would like to commission a large number of poses from me, please contact me on discord or here via private message. I have been shy about making custom characters but I am considering it.

Q: What are the AI albums?
A: The AI albums are an extra perk that I recently added on. They are like Playboy centerfolds or Japanese gravure albums that I generated with an AI and improved through inpainting/photoshop. The albums contain high fidelity images of both the SFW and NSFW varieties. If you enjoy my poses, then you will likely appreciate the contents of my albums.

You can see previews of my released and upcoming picture albums on my pixiv.

Q: My model is shaking or sliding around after loading the pose. How do I stop it?
A: This happens because some of the FK poses use a moving animation as a base. Select your character and go to the top left of the screen and find: "Anim" > "Animations" > dial the animation speed to zero > reload the pose.

Q: In Koikatsu, my character disappears when I load a pose!
A: Please go to Kinematics>FK and set the height adjust value to zero.

Q: Do you release poses for the new Roomgirl game?
A: I will begin uploading for Roomgirl when it has proper plugin and subfolder support. In the meantime, all my of HS2 files should work fine in Roomgirl, feel free to take your favorite poses from my collection and add them manually to your roomgirl pose folder. (Roomgirl>Userdata>Studio>Pose) Pose data within subfolders will not show up in Roomgirl studio.

Q: I do not see the poses in the Anim>Kinematics>Pose folder.
A: If you are on Koikatsu, you may need to update your game to a newer version of better repack. The Koi files now use a plugin called pose tools. For HS1 and HS2 users, please double check that you installed the correct pack for your game, as the file paths are different.

Q: How do I mirror a pose so that it changes left/right facing to better fit my scene?
A: Look for the button "HSPE" on the bottom left UI (it is called HS2PE on HS2 and KKPE on Koi) and open it. Look for the swap pose button (show below) and click it when you have the character selected and the pose loaded.

Q: The feet are angled strangely, how do I fix it?
A: All my poses for HS1/2 are made for high heels, except for the ones with "BF" in their name. Depending on what high heel your character is wearing (or no heels at all), it may put your character's feet at a different angle. You can follow my move controller tutorial to make adjustments to the ankles. Also, please note that my HS1 poses are made for use with the "ankle adjust" feature turned on (it is off by default). Toggle on ankle adjust and this may just fix your ankle issues in HS1.

Q: The pose does not perfectly fit my character's body proportions or the scene, how do I make adjustments to it?
A: Please follow my move controller tutorial to make adjustments, in conjunction with the HSPE pose mirror described above to adapt my poses to your scene. The intent behind my poses is to provide a framework for you to work off of for your scene and the variations that I include are more like.. suggestions of possible variations.

Q: Got any tips for aligning couple's poses?
A: My couples poses are always composed with the two characters facing the same direction on the Y-Rotational axis. Ideally set both characters rotations to 0 across the board, or if your scene requires the characters be rotated, make sure they have the same "Rot Y" value:

once you have the correct rotation locked down, it is MUCH easier to fit the couple into each other's loving arms. (use the move controller referenced in the previous question).

Please also keep in mind character scaling. For HS2 the character size that I use is 1.07 for males and height 50 for female, for example.

How thin or 'thicc' your character is will also factor in. My characters skew towards Chinese beauty standards, so they are typically pretty thin, and the poses will be built around those proportions. If your characters have more generous proportions, you will need to adjust the placement of the hands in most instances.

Copyright considerations:

My poses are free to use for all to set up scenes (even if the scenes and renders are used for commercial purposes). Crediting me is not required, but encouraged😁.

Redistribution my poses or derivatives of my poses either for direct monetary gain, or for free on a platform that enables tipping (such as a Patreon account) are not permitted. (This rule does not apply to Screwthisnoise of "Betterrepack" as they are the main redistributor of aggregate community content for illusion games.)
