Ultimate Fusion - Character Editor (News, Updates & Progress)

It's that time again!
We are happy to share some big improvements, new features and bug fixes.

This post will details the progress we have made and what we have been up to.

Waist Warper

This was the biggest undertaking since our last update
It fixes impossible fusions, incompatible characters and helps legs fit to bodies much better.

Implementing this fully took weeks but the results are better than expected and we have managed to reduce the extra loading time required for waist warping.

After checking how wide characters fit thin characters etc. we bit the bullet and decided we have to add a warp function.

Some are subtle some are more extreme but it always results in a better fusion!

It would be fun and easy to allow the hip size etc. to be changeable via the Character Maker.

Multiple Stamps

We have created an entirely new function to allow for multiple stamps (scars, tattoos etc)
You will be able to stack and quickly remove stamps.
An example would be Pikachu's cheeks and then adding dirt/scuffs etc. on top of that.
(Stamps will also be used for battle damage)

Hoods / Helmets

Hoods and Helmets were quite challenging but we think we have managed to implement them as best we can to fit every character.

Hair on Pokemon (Monsters)

We have change how hair fits onto pokemon/monsters to help it fit with the body and not change when the face is switched.

Hero Mask

There are many characters especially super hero's that use fitted masks like Spiderman, batman etc.

For this we needed to add a hero mask option.

Horn Tapers

We have added clipping masks to let horns and ears blend into hair long or short

Crown

We have added a new type of Hat in order to allow for smaller head accessories to fit better depending on the hair.

Side Hair 

Side hair is sometimes an iconic part of certain characters so it has now been implemented

Outline Implemented

We have added the previously mentioned outline to help parts look like they are one piece.
And fusions look better in general.

Notable Bug Fixes

• Major Head Ratio bug fix (There was a bug that increase instead of decreased the head size)
  
• Major Feet ratio bug fix (Rotating the feet caused them to get bigger)

GOALS

Super Saiyan 

We really want to allow for the Saiyan transformations like in our DBFGenerator

So we are making things a lot harder for ourselves just to make it possible.
Like adding what would normally be considered unneeded additions like shoulder hair and even making a none eyebrow version for every character to allow for SSJ3 and Ego transformations and implementing complex auras.

Evolving 

You can bet there will be at the very least a button to evolve fusions involving pokemon or any multi stage monster character.

And a shiny button would be a simple but nice touch too.

What stage is the project at?

The project is in it's final stages.

We have all the options in place and will be leaving some extra things for later updates after a full release.

The Character Maker is the core and allowing for it to adapt to the restrictions of each character is what we are doing now.

Last we will be adding the fusion algorithm back on top and then it is pretty much good to go.

We hope to release a BETA of the Character Maker before the fusion algorithm has been implemented so please look forward to that.
