How to use the models + Links + FAQ (Patreon)
Content
⚠️⚠️As of now, models are only available in the shop.
⚠️Please take a minute to read if you're new to my models.
1. You need to install the 2 addons provided
Both daz addon and UI addon are required.
If you see two UI panels on a model, only the one calle "LeGuymelef UI" must be used : some older models have a panel called "character name + UI" that should be ignored.
2. The shared textures are needed for all models
Them being shared, you can extract them once on your drive and then use it on all models with the "find missing files". Just point to the folder where you extracted them.
Packages comes in 2 resolutions, 2K or 4K. Choose one or the other depending on your hardware.
Male shared textures are only necessary if you use male models.
Some textures are identical between male and female shared packages so I recommend extracting them in the same place to avoid duplicates on your hard drive.
3. ️Requirements
Blender 4.2+
LeGuymelef UI in its latest version (v2.2.3)
Daz addon v4.2
Female shared textures and/or Male shared textures in their latest version

5. FAQ :
Q: Can I get updates for models even if I'm not a patron anymore ? -> A: Yes for minor updates (fixes). As long as you kept the download link, it can be used to redownload the updated model. Models' release posts have a changelog. Major updates (usually complete remakes) are considered as new models so, unless you've got a link for that version, you won't be able to access it.
Q: IK doesn't work at all -> A: 1) Make sure you're using the unified UI (LeGuymelef UI panel) and 2) make sure you're using the IK switch button and not just showing the IK bones from the armature layer
Q: Knees don't bend in IK -> A: Switch back to FK, use the clear pose button, then switch back to IK
Q: Knees and elbows are wonky in IK mode -> A: Click on the fix button in IK/FK section of the UI
Q: Lips look weird -> A: Make sure you're using the latest version of the UI
Q: Hair or eyes look weird on cycles -> A: If you're using latest UI version, re-select at least once the render engine, otherwise you should update the UI
Q: Textures are weird or body is all shiny -> A: You're probably missing the shared textures, follow instructions above
Q: Do I need both the shared textures and the ones that come with the model ? -> A: Yes
Q: Hair has black patches on cycles -> A: Increase the transparency bounces
Q: Do you take commissions -> A: No
Q: How to append models -> A : Append the collections named as the character + hair + hidden + mannequin. Optionally, also append desired outfit collections. Once appended, hide the "hidden" and "mannequin" collections (checkbox). Then choose a hair and outfit from the UI.
Q: Body clips through clothes -> A: Please consider AAA games have clipping despite involving hundreds of people, years of work, millions of $ and a limited amount of animations. On the other hand there's me vs unlimited motion possibilities plus changeable body shapes. So yeah, sorry, clipping is going to happen. Best two ways to fix it are either creating a mask on the body to hide some parts, or use sculpting on the clothes (recommended).
Q: Textures are pink --> A: Oh come on!
