How the hell is there still a red blotch on the shirt?
Did she somehow get shot and I didn't realize it?

I don't know what to do. @waifu I know you don't know either but I'm stuck

@waifu Maybe I shouldn't play round with the nodes. But I want that metallic sheen and smoothness on the one-piece. Should I try that in unity instead?

@INSTALLGENTOO where did you get this model? my bad i don’t quite understand what you’re trying to do, but i know @hideki may know more than me

@waifu @hideki wtf, this is too high level for me. I have no clue what he just did on screen.

@INSTALLGENTOO @waifu looks like this guy is working with some custom shaders that have a lot of node groups.

Like, that node called Texture Files is a node group, you just click on it and press TAB to enter it, then inside looks like there's a bunch of empty image texture nodes minimized, he just maximized one and then loaded an image file on it.

@hideki @waifu But the other stuff he did just after that which brought a 2d image into the viewport?

@INSTALLGENTOO @waifu he added a plane mesh to the scene and then assigned it a material called "Template Body" that it may exist already in the file.

@hideki @waifu A, I think I get what you said.
I'm fiddling with the hair now, trying to find why the texture isn't showing up, and the original question of how to get the one piece into a different color without those blotches. I'll show the nodes for the hair right now.

@INSTALLGENTOO @waifu hmmm it's hard for me to see why there's that red blotch there, looks like someone tried to paint it using vertex paint, in which case it won't show up in the renders anyways probably.

Would need to check the file to take a look at the materials, which as i told you looks like it uses some custom nodes.

@hideki @waifu There isn't a main texture slider like in the body nodes.

@INSTALLGENTOO @waifu have you loaded an image alrrady in that hair alpha texture node in the first picture?

@hideki @waifu Yeah, I tried and it didn't do much, the highlights and the detail masks and whatnot didn't really apply the texture.
I'm also trying to make these gem things glow, I can simply just add a emissions material and assign the selected faces to it but I don't know if it's unity/vrm compatible to export in kkbp so I have a couple tutorials saved to do that effect in unity as well.

@INSTALLGENTOO @waifu hmm that strange.

Overall my advice would be to start over again in case you messed up with something you shouldn't have touched, then try again putting all the textures in their respective place and check alsonin rendered view, as sometimes rendered looks different than preview.

And usually to make things glow yeah, you have to use emision shaders and enable the glare on the renderer settings, i imagine the emision shader is standard on many places and the glow it's applied with the renderer, in this cade, enabling it in unity i suppose.

Will try to look at the script once i get to the computer.

@hideki @waifu The hair is different, it's from a Mod and not actually hair in the koikatsu game but a asset so that might be a reason why the nodes are wack.
I guess for the emission shaders I guess I'll save this version when it comes around to it and start on the irritative version in a separate save file to add them just before exporting. I need to do the hair and the one piece at the moment.

@INSTALLGENTOO @waifu ah yeah, if the hair doesn't have anything to do with Koikatsu, then the shaders that come with the koikatsu file are of no use because they expect the textures and everything in a certain way, it would be better to disregard these shaders at least for the hair and shade it with it's own textures using standard shaders.

@hideki @waifu I'm not very good with blender, I just got done with modeling a speaker yesterday, what's the easiest way to put in a texture to the material? https://freespeechextremist.com/notice/AN1GRplsaduzHYVfP6

@INSTALLGENTOO @waifu

If the hair comes with it's own image texture, it's only matter of

- Unsetting all the current materials on the hair.
- Creating a new blank material for the hair
- Adding a new image texture node and loading the image of the texture.
- If the hair mesh is unwraped correctly, it must show properly

IF the texture looks wrong, then probably you will need to unwrap the hair mesh, but that's an art on itself, hopefully everything comes prepared already when you apply the image texture
