Description
INTRO
Replaces all common infected with the Lowee Soldier[neptunia.fandom.com] from Hyperdimension Neptunia.
I hope you download this because she is cute and not because you really want to see her die.

I put a lot of time into this mod. I hope you can appreciate it.

Thanks to Kill That Guy -> as it was their mod that got me started.
Although their mod claims to have gore and dismembering, it was not working for me. I wanted to see what I could do about that. Turns out I got carried away and added a bunch of new stuff.


FEATURES
And after a long time of working on this, here are the features that are included:
  • Textures were completely recreated to conform with the 'infected' shader.
    • Soldier girls are still colored properly when wounded.
    • Blood and dirt detail.
    • Eye Glow - Shine your flashlight on them.
  • Riot/CEDA face plates have been fitted.
  • Accurate Gore effects.
    • Gore Script files have been rewritten
    • Wound models have been edited to fit the Lowee Soldier.
    • Dismembered limbs have all been remodeled. Severed heads, arms, legs will all look like they belong to the Lowee Soldier.
  • Added wiggle bones to her tie and skirt.

SOURCES FOR THIS PROJECT
Original textures provided by Idea Factory / Compile Heart.
Texture directory >> "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth3\data\[game.cpk]\model\chara\349\texture\[*.tid]"
CPK and TID file extractor can be found here. (Author of this extractor chose te remain anonymous)

Model provided by Idea Factory / Compile Heart.
Model directory >> "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth3\data\[game.cpk]\model\chara\349\[002.ism2]"
ism2 file is read using 3Ds Max Script which can be found here[www.vg-resource.com].
With 3Ds Max; I export to FBX file. From here Blender can import the FBX and the rest of the work was done in Blender.

DevInfo: I wrote a ISM2 importer for Blender 2.8+[github.com]. Blender can import Neptunia models directly now. 3Ds MAX is no longer needed.

Audio from Kill That Guy ->.

CREDITS
Blender[www.blender.org] - All 3D work
GIMP[www.gimp.org] - All image editing

Idea Factory / Compile Heart - The Lowee Soldier model is from their game "Hyperdimension Neptunia re;birth 3".

Random Talking Brush / howfie - For the "ism2 to 3Ds Max" import script.

Kill That Guy -> - The creator of the mod that got me started as well as the provider for the infected sound files.
Mastodonmk2 - Made the first Lowee Soldier Mod. Note that none of this persons work was included in this mod. But, the idea was theirs first.

Doublethinking for writing this Infected Shader page. It helped a lot. I have also updated the page myself, since I had a lot to contribute after creating this mod.

Oh. Well that is also interesting. The "Infected" shader takes two ellipsoids as input. Any part of the model that is within the ellipsoids do not get rendered. I did have to edit a few script files to move the ellipsoids since her body size was so different.

But; when part of the model gets culled by the ellipsoids, the model just looks hollow. So the game also uses "wound gibs" to cover the, would be, hole. There is nearly 100 of these. Fortunately, in Blender, I can open and edit all of them at the same time. I fit them to her body with Blenders proportional editing.

I even went as far as to write a Blender python script to generate accurate ellipsoid positions so that they line up perfectly with the "wound gibs".
