I revived a long-unreleased model based on @bipedalbastard-blog's "N313" animation and finally released it!

Released a small update to TMWSTW that adds tension map support to the arm! Along with that, I fixed the SV Sneaking Suit's floating ponytail. The .sim file it used was sna2_main0_hair.sim, the one from the original Big Boss, which didn't support the ponytail's physics. I simply replaced it with sna0_main0_hair.sim, which supports both hairstyles.

Here's a project I wanted to do for a while, just with little reason and fear that helper bones would get in the way. Metal Gear Survive has some gear for the avatar that's reused from enemy soldiers in The Phantom Pain, be it directly or by proxy from Metal Gear Online 3, so assembling those into a model with an armature that the women soldiers need to function with was a possibility, and here's what it looks so far.

JimLafleur did a lot of the heavy lifting with the meshes - the pinky and ring fingers reskinned to the middle finger for the enemy soldier animations to actually move them, merged the counterpart meshes that were split in Survive, etc.

Aaron No. 893's bespoke, lovingly sculpted model has finally been ported to MGSV and released, with an update implementing tension normal maps!

Helper bones in the Fox Engine have finally been conquered! ...And it's just the beginning.

Based on Joey35233's reverse engineering work, and guidance from him and with youarebritish's guidance, here is an xml-based decompiler-compiler of the helper bone/rig driver file format, .frdv. I hope it makes custom models a little easier in the meantime, as Joey is implementing visualization of helper bone driving in FoxKit 3!

Happy Holidays!!

Right on the eve, I'd realized two things: nobody has made a SANTA Camo mod on the TPP Nexus page, and that the Karakul Sheep model's texture has clean, generic, reusable fur.
