I honestly like this model because it fits more in-line with your other models. People can complain its clutter, but I don't see any other Shantae models that work best with your Risky, Rottytops, and Sky.

so wait does it like no longer work or is there a new version?

could be from lag on his end maybe? or bad memory, iv had both myself ^^;

@Gage: why do you keep spamming this?

idk why i got his. i just did ?

<3

I mean, it's not like it clogs the workshop *that* much. It's one addon, and it's fine. It's not like it's several content packs that have no pictures and don't tell you what they do

this is clutter

I happen to enjoy the props this addon includes quite a bunch, so I hope it'll stick around.

@Benio: It's clogging up the public workshop and no longer serves a purpose now that like 5 other better models exist.

Hidden addon?! Why?!

Where did you get the bed in the second picture?

Pls Sky And Bolo Next

Yay! I love the Shante games so much!

:shantae_sky:

Ok, thanks bro!

@SoupCanMafia: Thank you so much for the kind words! (I only have a Sky emoticon currently)

You know had the timing been a bit different and the Rafaknight version had been released earlier (I only found out 2 days before uploading mine), I probably wouldn't have bothered. Still, it's nice to know that this version serves as a compromise that, while amateur, offers more customization and the cartoony style. Cheers!

@Risky Boots the Pirate Queen: The screenshot where I posted the fix appears to have been removed. Anyway, it's using the textures from the previous version that was only available through DA, and the UV maps have changed since then. You will want to delete all preexisting Shantae-related materials/textures and models while you are subscribed to this item. I hope this helps.

Response to @TyrakaReborn: Texture is off a bit.

I gotta say kudos for resurrecting this older model and having it be just as quality as InfectedFury's and Rafaknight's version. I think this is actually a happy marriage between the two: Rafaknight with the slimmer design and the golden touches combined with InfectedFury and its cartoonish style. Either way, have a couple Shantae emojis to celebrate it.

@TyrakaReborn: Could you post a screenshot? I think I may know what is causing it.

Her skin texture is broken and misplaced; I recommend fixing it.

@maxim98.maks who doesn't?

I LOVE HER ! ! !

(Continued from previous comment) As I've said, with each Shantae game, the character and layout designs are never exactly the same, especially regarding the character artwork. But your version seems to be the best on Steam Workshop in my opinion and also in my opinion, if WayForward decided to make a full-fledged 3D (or 2.5D like the modern Kirby games) Shantae game, your models would probably be best-suited for it, especially since you have all her alternate clothing changes (expect for a gem-less headband bodygroup but since I don't like that from "Half-Genie Hero", I can live without it).

To be honest...I tried out that "Rafaknight" version. ...Didn't care for it. The ragdoll's kinda glitchy; Stand Pose doesn't affect her hair bones while Ragdoll Resizer, which usually fixes certain bones and facial features to connect properly, caused her face to screw up and I had to try and fix it with Face Poser. Even though I did, I still didn't really like it much. Sure she had some animations available with the Easy Animation Tool, but not nearly as much as the ones you put into for both your playermodel and ragdoll versions. Most of all, it's the Rafaknight's looks; simply too realistic - the Shantae franchise is more anime-oriented to me.

@Nicholaki Kind of moot point given a recent upload , but I figured out the problem with the arms messing with the camera. I haven't submitted a change yet though. Still haven't figured out what is causing the viewmodel to ficker.

It seems that all tfa based addons seem to be causing the issues (most notably with melee weapons and throwables). Though the cs online sweps seems to be most notable for alot of the guns.
To give you a brief rundown on the bugs. Melee weapons flicker constantly and sometimes dissapear when looking in a certain direction. Also some weapons you can see the viewmodels floating in a certain spot on the map. These screenshots were taken just in seconds due to flickering viewmodels

Some weapons also do this though these are common with the cs online sweps

This is all Ive seen so far. Ill still provide the links to the tfa addons that ive seen that does this if you want.

@Nicholaki: Thank you. Admittedly I'm more of an SFM guy than GMod, so I didn't test these models with all available mods.

I've been looking into it, though my time to do so is limited during the work week. So far I don't have a clear idea on how to fix this; it's not like I can modify the TFA anim sequences. Perhaps I need to remove unnecessary bones or vertices from the viewmodel, but then I run the risk of ruining the fists SWep that is packaged within GMod. I'll let you know if I find anything by the end of the week, but so far, unlike with the previous bug I fixed, a clear solution isn't jumping at me. At the very least could you provide with the link to the mod/workshop item where the bugginess is most noticeable/flagrant?

Very well done model. though is it possible you could fix the issues with the c_hands bugging out with tfa based weapon. Sometimes they do some very buggy stuff. Nothing really game breaking, But it kinda breaks the imersion.

sexy

np, i even love the custom animations, best model that has custom animations

@JkMenttonet21(School): Thank you! I am very glad you are enjoying it. There will be more to come (hopefully) soon once I polish these faces and redo the facial flexes.

I love this model so much

Sure, there's always room for improvement in the face, as others have pointed out. The default expression looks strangely solemn, and the realistic shading on a cartoon character results in the uncanny valley.

However, I was able to find that these two problems can be easily fixed by playing around with environmental lighting and face-posing, resulting in a look that greatly resembles Shantae's official artwork: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1126680343

So, I just wanted to commend you for your fantastic work. It's easily the best Shantae ragdoll currently available! Speaking of which... thanks for actually releasing fully-posable ragdolls for GMod, instead of just more awkwardly-rigged playermodels (which, sadly, are the only things that the GMod Workshop community seemingly cares about).

finally one thats beautiful

Finally

Finally, a playermodel of Shantae that doesn't look like she survived the Vietnam war.

Yeah you gotta change the head model somehow.

@mrbenio: adjusted it

@Graphical Error, @Angel Rose, @Zachary The Actual Muffin: Thank you so much for the kind words!

@NaturalGlitch: Looking into it…

She looks like a frying pan bashed her face in. But, her face isn't the reason anyone is using this model. Ugh.

@Foof, @Rachel Gardner: fixed!

it might be, i'm not sure.

@Foof I'm looking at it, but I'm not sure what is causing it. FWIW, it doesn't seem to be occuring with the fists SWep packaged within GMod, so I'm wondering if it's unique to the addons.

i also took a screenshot incase: Click on this to view it
i tested it with all playermodels and they seem to all have the same problem.

you can unarmed yourself by removing all weapons you currently have, or you can get one of the thousands of weapons that use the unarmed animations.
for instance: Use the thirdperson command while using this addon and you can see it for yourself.

@Foof, @Rachel Gardner: forgive my ignorance (I'm more of an SFM guy than GMod). How do you unarm the playermodel? I never tested that.

@Radioactive
Every playermodel does a t-pose animation if they walk while unarmed

goes to t pose when stopping while unarmed....

This is a work of art!
