XNALara model beta testing (testers needed!)/ general advice

Any member of Sticklove who wants to port models but isn't sure if they could be improved (and how), feel free to post a request for testing here. Don't post the model here, just a brief description (although not necessary, if you want to keep it a 'secret') will suffice. One of the testers will then come in this thread and say something like 'I got this' or 'send it to me', then you can send them the model in a pm and the tester will look at it. They will do a quick bug-test (N.B. there is no 100% guarantee that all bugs will be found! :pi: ) and give advice on how to fix any bugs and other things to make it look very beautiful and epic. :ugeek: The testers are just testers, they will only give advice, not do the actual fixing. The porter will have to do this by him/herself, but exceptions can be made of course.

Remember, this is beta-testing, not alpha-testing! The model should be nearly done to the best of your abilities: correct render groups chosen, every texture properly assigned, lightmaps baked (if you want to use them) and bones renamed.

Post requests here, ask what you need:

1. Overall check, or
2. Specific check (just weights, for example), or
3. Both XD

Send the model once a tester has confirmed that they want to help you, in a private message. You can write more info in that message, too. If nobody answers, it means they don't have time. :okay:

I hope this will be a success! If you want to be a tester, say so in this thread. Some experience is required, of course. :)

If you just want to ask a quick question, without the need of sending anyone your model, you can also do that here. Just post a short (but as complete as possible) description of your problem, with a picture if you can, and someone will come along to post some advice. It's possible that the model will need to be checked, in the end, but that's okay since this is also the testing thread, haha.

Happy porting. :)

Thanks, if you want to be an official tester let me know. :pi:
I have no idea how much time it will take, not many 'new' porters here yet. But they'll come. :)

:hug2: :hug2:
Btw none of the 'testers' HAVE to help all the time when they are online. Just saying. Only when they want to. XD
That's why we could use a few more. :pi:
