Risky Boots

Character model of Risky Boots from the Shantae series of video games created by WayForward.

Although this model's combined bodygroups do not exceed Source's limit of 50,000 triangles, this model was split into 2 separate MDLs. The first one includes Risky's default and princess costume outfit. The second one is reserved exclusively for Risky's beach attire. This split was done to facilitate a possible future release that would include all swimsuits featured in S:½GH's DLC as additional bodygroups.

Modeled entirely by me in Blender. I did not create the normal map for the hair. This was copied from the files for a model originally modeled by this DA user[creatorofpony.deviantart.com] and then tiled to 2048 x 2048. All other textures were created by me using GIMP.

Multiple bodygroups for alternate outfits/costumes
Rigged eyes and facial flexes (mono and stereo)
Jiggle/procedural bones! (26 total)
TF2 style skeleton and bone naming convention, allowing the character models to work with rig_biped_simple and Doc\Revzin's puppet script
Embedded custom ragdoll animation sequences (8 total)
A paintable "white" skin

Not a bug with the model per se but with SFM. The jiggle/procedural bones will not bake properly when the model is spawned in a current session. Instead of baking the dynamic animations, the process will bake the jiggle bones' default positions. For the baking to properly work, you must save the session after spawning the model, close the current SFM session, and then reopen it. Baking the procedural animations will then work properly now that the model is saved within the SFM session.

Default:
The default skin based on Risky's appearance in the character portraits in S&tPC. Eyes have a slight blue tint to match other in-game sprites. Belt is brown.

Yellow-eyed:
Risky has yellow eyes to match in-game appearance in S:½GH as well as the appearance upon completing the speedrun in S:RR. Belt is magenta to be consistent with these appearances.

Retro:
Risky's clothing is limited to a red and black palette to resemble sprites from the original GameBoy Color game.

Paintable "White" Skin:
Allows users to paint different materials custom colors using material overrides and modifying their $color attributes. This feature is specifically designed for use within SFM, but the skin is still available in GMod.

Pte Jack whose series of YouTube tutorial videos taught me pretty much everything I now know regarding how models behave and are exported in the Source Engine. I cannot thank him enough.
