I've gotten a flood of comments and notes asking if my models can be used in VRChat.

First of all, they're not my models. They're property of their respective game studios, all I did was port them, but it's nice of you all to ask anyway.

Second, at the time, these models were only able to be opened in XPS. I have no idea what version of XPS exists now, so if they don't work in the new version, I don't know what to say.

AS they are, the models are not T-Posed so if you try to import them into other programs (with original bones), they probably won't look right. Not sure how XPS works anymore, but you would need an import/export script to use them in other modeling programs (like 3ds Max) if you would like to T-Pose them yourself.

Thirdly, they are not in-game models. You cannot load them into Life Is Strange or Life Is Strange: Before the Storm. At least not without a lot of editing, and for that kind of stuff use Google to find out how. All I ask is that you not use my models for making mods for the game.

Lastly, I don't think any of the models I've ported work in VRChat. I don't use VRChat, don't want to, but I think you'd have to edit these models to get them to work properly in the program. I'd rather these models that I've ported not be used in VRChat but people do whatever they want so it's whatever.

Okay, that's all I've got to say for now. Hope everyone is doing okay. It's been a rough year.

Time to clean out my gallery. Thinking of taking down all the LiS models I've ported. Kind of tired of seeing people do stuff with them.

Hello all-- I hope this finds you well. I had no idea I had so many watchers add me in my absence.

I haven't opened XPS in a long time. Not for art, anyway. At times I make mods in 3ds Max but it has been all Mass Effect models and nothing I want to share here. I honestly don't log into dA that much anymore, and when I do I usually check on the few friends that I still talk to, answer a few notes and comments if I feel they need a response. But that's the extent of my dA use now.

I'm not saying I've left dA. My life has just completely changed within the last three years and my health and time have to be prioritized now. Maybe I'll upload art or something one day, but I don't know when that would be.

I don't port anymore--not for the community. Most of what I decide to port is just for me and my own amusement and if my close friends here want on what I've been working on, I'll share with them, but I'm done porting things for *everyone.* All my tools and files (all my LiS/BtS stuff) are on my old laptop anyway, which is slow and outdated and unsecure. And really, it was a lot of work for people that weren't really all that grateful for stuff anyway.

And porting, even for my own amusement, is not often anymore.

I love this place but it's changed a lot. Most of the people that were prominent in this XPS community have moved on to other things or just don't do much anymore, but that's how things go.

I will do my best to answer questions about mods I currently have uploaded or questions in general, but my response time may be slow and untimely.

I don't port anymore. I will not extract the model(s) you want from BtS/LiS 2/CS. I don't do art trades or take requests or commissions. I don't mind answering questions or chatting with you or checking out your art, but anything else...sorry.

Take care everyone. I'll pop back in every now and again. Maybe I'll even upload something. Just don't hope for anything soon.

<3 you all. Stay safe and happy.
