If ya ask me, the modders of the game sould ge ttogeathe rwith IG and MS and find a way for it to work across all platforms if possible lol.
Thats because windows store suck thats why others donāt care to mod this game.
steam is light years ahead of windows store the death of windows store games is actually in our best interest but if we want xbox exclusives we have no other choice but to use it.
Other than that I use steam for 99% of my games and will continue to do so. Once a game comes with Steam Workshop support its an instant buy for me.
Feels good to be homeā¦
Back to workā¦

Certain things you just simply cannot capture with a screenshot. Youād almost need to feel it to believe it, so to speak.
You are right lol. Time to get my lazy ā ā ā back into gear.
Got some really good stuff coming very very soon for Retro Orchid and people that want to see some justice brought for Retro Sabrewulf. Ratbrewulf is going to be corrected

Oh, he is going to be badass when I am through with him.
I didnt realize exactly how bad his model actually is until I ripped it out of the game and looked at it ( Iām not even joking, whoever put his ears on him put them on backwards and in reverseā¦BACKWARDS AND IN REVERSE!).Just simply fixing that makes his entire head shape look better. I cannot wait to fix him and show you guys how awesome he can be again! Im going to go all out on his fur and stuff as well.
If I can get the animations decrypted and exported correctly, I am also going to take these characters into Unreal Engine 4 and quickly add the controls to them to quickly see what this game could look like if it was using that engine. I would suspect it could look amazing.
Look for new Retro Orchid samples today as long as work leaves me alone.

Youāve been doing pretty well so far. Keep it up!
Hopefully mods get official support soon.
Can you show how the 2013 DH ripped orchid has the wonky shoulder neck rig and the weird hair? I wonder if the modeler was just not up to par or if the translation from 3D to the Xbox engine rendered the nice looking 3D model into the pasty default from DH
Iād love to see how the rig looks up close
Sure can.
The reason her neck deforms poorly in the game is because of a missing neck joint between the clavicle bone and the mid neck bone. There should be another one there. That makes her traps warp too far when she turns her head to the side. The lack of the bone there makes the one way up the neck and the one at the start of the shoulder fight for influence over the verts in between there and causes if to look really unnatural.
The red circle shows the huge gap in the rig. Youll also notice that only the front strand of her hair is rigged.
Her hair clips a lot because it is not rigged fully with the head, its just attached geometry, the most basic way to do hair 10 years ago. And looks really clumpy and splotchy because of the use of incorrect shader types. They have the transparency setup wrong, so its getting a lot of artifacts. Someone just needs to correct that (Would take like 10 minutes literally) and it would look 100% better.

Man. Hearing about all these flaws they overlooked, really pisses me off for some reason.

yeah if he were actually brought in as a consultant, by someone who cared about quality, these reports would be really damning. Whoever is in charge of the modeling quality at both DH and IG had to have been grandfathered in like nobodyās business. Itās not what you know, itās who you know, I guessā¦

Does Arbiter have these problems? I recall them saying they grabbed him straight from 343.
