Tutorial [ILLUSION] HS2 Studio Neo|Chara Maker - (Help & guides Thread)

[GIGABRAZ]

Is it possible to make a character a bit transparent? All I can find is to make the body invisible or just the head or fully monochrome or make it more translucent. What I want to create is kinda like hologram so we can still see the character but transparent enough to see the background.

Yes it is possible, the only way I know is with shaders.
If you want this hologram effect, I know exactly the shader for it :



You'll heve to switch the basic shader of the body main, head, hairs (and eventually clothes) by this shader :



(Usually at the bottom of the shader selection) You'll also have to disable tooth, both eyes, eyekage and tang. I replaced the eyes by little spheres that I adjusted :



Maybe having emissive white eyes could be better IDK, it's up to you to find. If your not used to play with shaders, do so, just don't forget to reset the shader each time you wan't to try another one, otherwise it can screw up the shader.

Thanks a lot.

I have a somewhat advanced question regarding TimeLine. I see it is possible to select multiple Keyframes and move them. Is it possible to copy and paste all selected keyframes to another time? I have a complicated animation that involves a lot of repetition and am really hoping I can copy and paste all Keyframes I select rather than manually recreating dozens of them at various times... That would save me more time and work than I can imagine.

I can't move any objects on StudioNeoV2 workspace.. how to make it draggable like in Koikatsu CharaStudio workspace?

You can just Ctrl C and Ctrl V them, it gets pasted there you select in the timeline. It also brings the object/selected node to your cursor, so be careful about that.
Or do you mean copying the keyframes from one character and using it on another?

That's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a bunch!

Does anyone know why the character lighting settings don’t work in Studio? Only the character’s hair and the buttons on their clothes are either glowing or not glowing. I’ve tried around 10 different maps, but there was no difference. There’s no such problem in the character creation section.



Edit: Also, I just noticed that the clothes look way better in the character creation section compared to Studio. What’s the reason for that?

Different lighting setup.

Is there a discussion tab or link where you can request character cards?

Does anyone know why using FSR3 (graphics mod) causes videos to be super zoomed in when rendered?

Can you somehow manually adjust stiletto settings like in Koikatu ? Half of the shoes in maker have messed up height settings, and I dont like changing the char height

In studio at least, there are some heel fixing settings in the kinematics section under animation. If those fail, you might be able to use HSPE to select a character wearing them and mess with the shoe bone scale/position.

not really. Used to be but it got shut down. Try in the general discussion thread, seen people do it there.

Do you know how I can fix these tears in the clothes? This issue usually happens with characters that have large breasts or hips.

That's koikatsu

That's koikatsu

The studios are largely the same. Probably the answer to this question is the same as that of honey select.

edit: At least I hope so.

Are there any threads on this site where we can upload screenshots and videos of our scenes and animations so others can see and comment on them? There are two I found, but neither of them are working right now. This one sadly has been forgotten, although it would be great to revive it since it's perfect. Then, there's This one that has morphed into a general help thread.

Are there any others that are still active?

I don't think there is any other than those two.
The later one is indeed became more like "paid scene leaking" thread. It's not entirely wrong though. They do share scenes there. But not for giving and receiving comments.
If you want some comments or ask "how to", I think this thread is fine.
The main thread is too crowded with repeated question, so serious talks are more likely to got sunk there.

Thanks for that offer, but is that really allowed on this thread? I would want to make sure I'm not breaking any rules by posting screenshots that are off topic.

I have a couple more questions on the Studio:

I am trying to change the WetColor that was mentioned in this post (at the bottom) using the MaterialEditor. However, no matter what color I select, it stays the same. This happens in both the Character Creator in the main game and in the Studio. I am using the Hanmen Next-Gen Body Shader. What am I doing wrong?

When recording videos of my animations, the eyes both appear red. This previously happened with screenshots (F11), but an update from Hanmen fixed this. Is there a way around this for video recording?
