The Boys Pack 2

Found a Deep model! That pushed me over the edge to make a Boys Pack 2. Decided to add a Firecracker, Kimiko and Black Noir model that I had from flvck0 AKA PvrpleSerot0nin's Patreon. Billy Butcher was from Cavity, same for The Deep! I looked for a while for Queen Maeve and found one really shitty one that didn't really do her justice.

For some reason I completely forgot about LiMei and made Firecracker for Sonya first. Once I realized that LiMei would work for her, I didn't pose her from scratch, I just unparented the Sonya mesh mod from the Sonya Skeleton and kept the existing vertex groups. I just had to size the sonya body up for LiMei and rename a few things and was able to leverage a second character in about 10-15 minutes? Most of that time was re-setting up textures and directories for the 2nd mod.

Kimiko is from Callisto Protocol. I am a big Dead Space fan and thought Callisto Protocol looked interesting when it came out and gave it a go (Game was okay and pretty short). I didn't change any details from the in game model and used her as is.

Mods

The Deep - Rain's 002 Skin

Firecracker - LiMei's 002 Skin / Sonya's 002 Skin

Black Noir - Kung Lao's 001 Skin / Kameo Kung Lao's 001 Skin

Billy Butcher - Stryker's 001 Skin

Kimiko - Nitara's 001 Skin

New Obstacles

- Baking normal maps instead of hand creating them to mimic the Atlas

- Leveraging ORM textures from Callisto Protocol

- Mesh mod swap to another skeleton for a different sized character (Sonya -> LiMei)

Known Bugs

- Her eyes glow red due to an effect that Nitara has. I dont believe I can remove it.

- Shoulders are a bit bulgy. Truthfully, I tried to increase the length of the arms from the chest/shoulder location and it caused this issue. I may re-do him!

- In some extreme movements, the arms look off when he raises them over his head and twirls his staff

Firecracker

- Wrists can be deformed in victory pose stance

- Looks good at the moment!

- No Coat physics so it is a bit stiff to his legs at the moment
