[WIP] Learning about Map Mods (Patreon)

Whoa, a new WIP post! Was going to send this to the daily practice chats, but I should keep this tag active right? Anyway, thought I'd share this new type of mod I've been working on this week. There's some pin-up sets and, dare I say, comic ideas that I haven't started bc I can't find any maps in KK Studio that match the environment I want. So what is there left to do? Well, of course, import new maps. I've been finding a lot of interesting models online for things KK just doesn't have yet(or ones that every KK creator uses and thus, are oversaturated), including restaurants and bars, apartments, shops, warehouses, laundromats, gyms, etc etc. Not to mention, this also means I can use maps from games, so maybe our fighting game gals can show up in more familiar environments. (Do people even pay attention to the bgs in my art? I do blur them every time lol)Now, I won't pretend I know what I'm doing lol. Right now, I'm importing them as Studio Items or just Obj Imports, which means they're only usable in Studio and don't have any lighting settings or H-points or anything the default maps do. But I've read up the documentation on how to make actual Map mods, and I could put in the effort to make proper map versions, which means they'd show up in the Map list and be usable in the main game as well. Lemme know if you want to see that!Anyhow, I'll try to stay on top of regularly making new pin-up sets as well as bringing back other types of work like mini animations and outfit packs. Thanks for being patient with me everybody, your support is always appreciated and keep me going!!
