Would anime portraits still be a thing?

[Punderland]

Pls say yes, pls say yes...

Seeing the 3d model in the new game makes me worried that modders cant make them into anime and I need my waifu

 

[dragonluke]

god I like 3d portraits even more now

 

[Vanhal]

Depends, how easy it would be importing 3D models and textures. I imagine it would and should be possible since devs talk a lot about modding possibilities and easy importing would make for a LOT of great mods, like making orks, elves, dwarves and yes, anime characters too.

Anyone know PDX did say anything about character models moddability?

well you wouldn't have to import new models or textures for Orks, Elves or Dwarves. Since they are all Humanoid, it would be easy enough to just exaggerate the values that determine character appearance and set it scale of ranges as an ethnicity, using their new ethnicity system for characters that are spawned in for cultures. the most you will need to mod or replace is a colour selection for non-human skin colours, so green, grey, red, etc.

But for an anime model or non-humanoid characters, you will most definitely need to import new models, animations and textures.

well, maybe cell shading anime 3d?

 

[LordofLight]

Probably use some sort of attachment point. They did speak about making dragons by having be a sort of "suit" that overlays the character itself.

So any 2D portraits would probably be just that. An Image overlaying the character. But that sounds like it'd have its own share of problems. Like can you have multiple things on one attachment point? Because otherwise 2D portraits wouldn't be able to have different hair, eyes etc. As you'd need to have a separate image for each combination.

Though even as someone who likes anime I've never used anime portraits. Clashes too much with everything.

Cell shaded characters that try to imitate anime either sounds really awful or really good in this scenario. Bit of a illusion vibe there. (If you know what I'm talking about you know what I'm talking about.)

 

[Princess Stabbity]

It shouldn't be that hard to just replace the models, but I imagine that in order to make it animate and morph flawlessly, someone will need to either export and modify or reverse-engineer the skeleton, depending on how the CK3 body models are structured. If the anime body has different proportions, all animations will need to be adjusted.

I have no doubt we'll see 3D anime models a la MMD eventually, but their quality and integration with the genetics system will probably take some time to get right.

 

[Kainser]

It hurts for all of us but I think we might just have to accept the inferior 3d waifus

[Morrowind3]

Depends on how moddable the models are. Fallout 4 ended up having great looking anime characters still. Worst case scenario modders will figure out how to put a 2D overlay over the 3D characters. (Perhaps disabling all textures and then replacing clothes with a flat mesh and an anime girl texture?)

Until then I'll have to settle for making the closest approximate to Mio-chan with the ruler designer when it's released. I sure hope waist-length hime hairstyles are in the game

They're going to have to do something or all of those fantasy mods which include orcs, elves, vampires, all with their unique clothing aren't going to be possible.

Either opening up the 3d models to extensive modding or (the easiest route) allowing 2d images to replace the 3d model (which they might be doing anyway if they include Mohammed in the history files).

 

[Creamu]

Theres an ocean of MMD anime models out there. But who knows what anime models looks like with paradoxs shaders. Usually you need a styistic shader to make anime models look nice in 3d

There is a solution for Mohammed allowing him to be 3D modelled.

Have him depicted as a completely robed figure with a desert rider's veil so his face cannot be seen.
Or replace him with a memorial tablet, since the genetics of his descendents can be keyed off of his daughter and son-in-law.

Depend on which mod we arew actually talking. Taking three most popular mods for CK2: Middle Earth elves and dwarves would be doable just as you said, orcs would require new models though. Elder Scrolls would be mostly ok though it would definitely need models for hair, accessories, clothes etc. Khajiit and Argonians would need models.
But then, there are also those guys or those...

CK3/Honey Select crossover, when?

 

[Punderland]

well, maybe cell shading anime 3d?

I dont care, I want my waifu one way or another

Why do I think you got some anime girl pillow to sleep with?

But seriously I think modders will be able to find a way for your... Well.. Request.

Nah, I think my anime girlfriend would be disgusted by such action. Better just be supportive and watch her video

You know, in Hong Kong we say, everyone needs a girl to stand behind them to be successful. I want to be successful so what can I say, I need a waifu
