[Honey Select 2] Paine Public Preview & Character Profile
🕑 Added 2021-05-28 03:28:42 +0000 UTCPaine is the least likely to get modernized version like appearing in Dissidia, so PS2 version is the only thing we have for now. Granted, I used base model from HD Remaster version for this. I thought it's not that bad, maybe I can enhance it and here we are. The meshes are subdivided, textures enhanced, some meshes like teeth and tongue are completely replaced with better ones. I even gave her Next-Gen shader compatibility right away, as seen in the preview here (yes this preview used NG shader).
In the end though I still think her PS2 origin still showing through even after all those makeover. But I guess if you have nostalgia over playing the game then it's not actually a bad thing. Back then games often used completely different model between gameplay and pre-rendered FMV. They can look like entirely different character. See this rendered poster of Paine here:
Totally different model used there, wish I can get my hands on that. I said before that upgrading very low-quality model is kind of pointless exercise; but I guess I like doing pointless stuff :p
Final note: I have to ditch non-DX support from now on, so if you have non-DX version of HS2 and can't load the character I recommend to update first to DX.
