Hey, I've been recently trying to get into the character studio of the game Koikatsu to make some images or gifs. I've seen some people here upload really high quality brainwashing images made with koikatsu. Where do they get the objects like mind control visors, backgrounds or other things from or how do you do glowing eyes? I'd appreciate it if someone with knowledge on the topic could help me with this.

I'm the dev of SotV and I've been playing with Koikatsu and Charastudio for about a year now. Hopefully I can answer some of your questions.

Assets like backgrounds and items are mostly from mods or just scenes people share online(Better Repack contains A LOT of essential mods and plugins and Koikatsu Discord is also a good place for scenes, characters, texture overlays etc. and knowledge).

Stuff like glowing eyes... There are several ways to do achieve this effect. Some people use Colored Shadow item and place it on the eyes. If you've ever played Corrupted Kingdoms, the dev uses this method for mind control scenes. I'm not a fan of it myself but to each their own.

For my game I use special shader for iris - in Charastudio pick character, select MAterial Editor, look for hitomi(iris) and switch to shader with Emision(I use StandardMDK) and you will need to manually tweak the colors, the strenght of Emission and some other stuff like LightCancel).

You can also use KKPE plugin > Adv Mode > Bones >hitomi and tweak postiton and rotation of the iris to achieve crossed eyes effect.

The final outcome looks something like that ibb.co/16QhHnY

Hey all sorry to jack this thread but I thought it'd be better than making a new one. I've recently started using koikatsu for my own mind control themed game for rpgmaker for now.

I'm wondering how people make busts with your characters for like dialouge and stuff. Kind of like Nexes Institute if anyone has played that. I know it's show picture command but I'm more talking like once I have the character ready how can I process it with like blank background image and stuff like that.

Hope this makes sense and thank you in advance!
