Progress so far…

just a small update on how the project is coming along.
As you can see pretty much all the major mesh work is done to get Bayonetta looking like the one in the game. Still have tons of texture work to do on her body suit before it’s even close to done.
Right now the hair on her arm doesn’t flow like it should and that’s because I’m having a hard time manipulating the bones from the kimono to make it look right. The default sleeve has the flap on the inside of the arms, where Bayo’s hair runs along the bottom of her arms. So I have to rotate the bones about 45 degrees, but not sure how.

The buckle holding her hair works fine, no distortion at all. Only problem with this is that sleeves don’t come off during H-Scenes without a top. So deciding if I should add an invisible top to the outfit, just so the sleeves can come off.
It’s hard to tell, but the bodysuit has been modified to match hers in the game. The one in the game has a stretched top on top of her breast, and form-fitting on the lower half. So I had to modify a form-fitting mesh to have a regular top, almost tube top like. The circle opening is actually circular, but because of the angle and the way the outfit is, it looks distorted.

Here is a closeup of her heel guns!
Had to modify the foot & the outfit to get her high heel look. Not only that I had to go in and remove the bones for the toes & foot inorder to get it working. So she’ll forever be on her tippy toes! Wasn’t an easy mod as I thought it would’ve been. Went thru 20 versions to get it to where it is now. One version had the tips of her shoes mapped to the leg bones, so when she bend her legs, the tip would stay where her knees were and her foot back.
Hopefully after all the mesh & texture work are done I can extend her limbs to match the game version more. Which might cause scaling issues in the game.
In other news…..
Finally finish Neytiri and got her tail to ‘curl’ up during the H-Scene so that it’s out of the way. It’s a cheap hack, but it works. Donators should be playing with the mod already.
Solving her tail problem didn’t help me in solving Samus’ hair problem. Similar problems, but requires a different solution.

I can’t wait for this… I was already wondering how you would fix the heels issue but it looks like you found a great solution, I never liked how heels disappear into the ground…
Keep up the good work, your mods are the best!
