At the bottom of the page I will be leaving old update notes, if available.
This page covers the pro version, but it also is used for the basic version, which is build upon.
Pro vs Basic
More indepth difference between the pack:
File Size - pro is 850 and the basic is 798. The extra size comes from 3rd person UE , demo maps, demo folder, UE water with a bit of custom settings. All of them are for demonstration reasons, though I do have the animations and retargeting of the mannequin in those folders, plus some times I add extra meshes and goodies. For this case : basic version has 4 poses I added, they are the once used for demo map 1 and can be seen on the screenshot and renders for the UE marketplace.
Textures - the original textures that are in 8k are available for download from the link provided in the demo map 1 in the Pro version. The Basic gets the downscaled version of the textures of the Pro, the downscale is by 2 - 8k:2 = 4k ; 2k:2 =1k textures. Though the textures are very well made and I would say in most cases you wont need the HQ textures, though if you plan to do a lot of close ups or for people who want to scale the meshes beyond their intended size the HQ will be greatly appreciated.
Meshes - the pro comes with extra static meshes : hair, hair 2 (ponytail ) and helmet. The Basic and Pro share the rest - pedestal, weapon and shield.
Skeleton Meshes - both use different skeleton meshes, but both use the UE mannequin skeleton. Difference is in the additions of facial bones and ik bones for the face, additional bones for future compatibility with my other packs ( Colossals v1 has armor bones for the pants section, those are present here too)
Animations - only the pro comes with animations generally speaking, the Basic version comes with 4 animation poses of which 3 are static and one is moving. The moving one is the one seen in the videos, where the statue looks at you and shushes with a finger then looks on it`s side and turns back to resting position.
Support - both will get support and both will get more compatibility in the near future, more results in that area - hopefully by the end of February.
Update 1.7
This update was uploaded on the 23.01.23
new textures
added 14 new animations
fixed some issues with eyes and poses
3 new body set of textures
(to be fair it is more like 2 new and 1 old updated)
I have added the new ones, because I felt like the original body texture looked great, but I wanted it to look like that in very close distance.
The first is completely different and has damages, I really liked the look it has on the neck. The damage there looks fenomenaul. I also added a few lines of scars on the abs and left leg.
The second one is ,with a couple of differences in the head and the feet, a copy of the old one, but with preserved detail. I decided to keep the old one, even though this one should be its replacement, because for some reason I really liked the gritty look it had from normal distance. It looked more weathered and damaged.
As you can see the quality is quite dramatical, compared to the first body texture.
added new textures for the mouth and the eyes
fixed some texture issues with the old one
(on the left the old one , on the right the new one)
This is a zooom in on the neck area with the old original textures, the new one dont have this problem and as seen in the other images -look way better at very close distance
fixed some of the poses
The problem was the twist bone of the lower arm, for some reason got imported a bit ..twisted, so a little change of the angle fixed it.
poses that got fixed
example of the old twisted bone
fixed some texture issues with the old one
(the one below are the old ones and the two on the right are the new ones)
I think you can see the difference especially when you focus on the left eye on the bottom one, I made a slide change of the angle and as in painting faces -the small changes make or brake it. Still had to look the morphs and fix some of them, if you find any issues I`ve missed please contact me.
added new 14 animations
(outdated video, so I am working on recording a new updated one)
other
small fixes on the map and removing some spelling errors - english is not my mother language.
And that is for the fixes and addition to this pack , for now. As with my other packs I do thend to update them, if you encounter any issues or have suggestions go to the contact page and write me via the forum there or just send me an email.
I prefer the contact page, because it uses google forms and you can provide me with additional information and rate for example your experience with the website.
Thank you for your time and I hope you enjoyed what you saw !
