Yes. Recreating a character from another game from scratch is a lot of work. Especially if it's a different engine, and especially not 3D.
This is my third attempt at recreating a non-DAZ character and I'm just learning, I mean it's a lot easier to create your own character than it is to recreate already existing.
Dude, that's a good try. Very good. Ivy is not very successful, but I like Cindy and Holly. In the case of Cindy, it was worth making the skin lighter and working on facial emotions. Best by hand, not auto-expressions.
Axel really looks like a Nazi from biolabs, lacks an SS uniform.
Sorry to hear you dropped it.
By the way, what kind of lighting did you use in these scenes? It looks incredible.
