Hey everyone!
I really appreciate that you enjoy all the meshes I've imported over the years. Let me clear up a few things. I'm a guy but I've always used a girl avatar, cause well, why not?
I think my character detourne_me is pretty cool and draws a lot of inspiration from characters I'e always liked. From Dagger to Jean Grey, heck even Jakita Wagner from Planetary.
As for my computer issues. I was using a PC that was getting a bit long in the tooth with outdated versions of Blender, newer versions of other 3d modelling software, and a host of other issues. Well it wasn't so good for my vudeo card it seems, and I was having frequent crashes and glitches.
Also, due to the fact that the majority of FF related tools are 15 years old, and not really well optimised for the amount of stuff I was doing (sure probably my fault for having a 30+ gig characters folder, and who knows how many other mods clogging up my .dat files), character tool, ffedit, and even the game would frequently crash on me.
So, after 15 years of creating content (most of which in the last 5) I decided to retire. Of course, i still get the itch from time to time... i think I need to archive all of my FF related files, and just do a fresh reinstall of FFVTTR, tools, and my 'creation suite' of Blender, Nifskope, and related programs.
I do need to limit myself though. There is no way I could import every character I wanted. I was literally sitting on 100 gigs of 3d models ripped from games in a variety of formats. (Including all of Mr. Uncle Bingo's deviant art stuff)
If I do return, I'll strictly be importing models that SickAlice has ripped and posted on their deviantart page. The Marvel Avengers Academy meshes have a similar poly count to FF stuff, and I came up with a method for allowing the meshes to be compatible with both VX and male_basic keyframes.
Well, sorry for the rant. Hope everyone understands if I don't release anything... please continue to enjoy the 500+ meshes imported so far! Thanks!
