PSA: You can load Koikatsu cards into V-Katsu

[Arthur]

Just place the .PNG files in the "steamapps/common/v_katsu/UserData/chara/female" folder.

If you dont have that folder, just create it.

Of course, nude models won't work, but the character's face and its body should load just fine.

You can also use the PMXExport available for Koikatsu in here as well if you want to export to MMD/Blender.

I tried but the Koikatsu cards does not appears on V-Katsu character menu. I checked several times and the folders are there. It's there anything I am missing? I have also noticed that Koiaktsu saves the characters as PNG and V-Katsu as DAT files. I tried changing the extension too but no luck :tshock:

Weird, I've yet to find a card that doesn't work. If you want I could test the card myself if you send me the card.

To me it happens with all the cards. How could we exchange some cards to find down if it's my version or just something on the avatar created that may have some conflict?

Here is the card i used in that steam screenshot along with a couple others that worked in my game. Make sure to drop them in the proper folder.

There are several tutorials on the internet already but after you install PMXExporter it really isn't that hard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INmv9TJLTSI

I was attempting a while back to make a VR Chat model using a Koi chara using this technique, and while the model itself ported just fine, the textures were funky af. Also the tris were very high, but that's just because Koi models are pretty smooth. Probably not the best source for trying to make a VRchat model from because of that.

To get accurate textures you gotta either use Ninja Ripper or, if you have the complete community pack patch thingy, use the material editor to export textures and normal maps. For the poly count, you can't really do much unless you mess around with decimation and other optimization techniques.

Hi! Thank you for sharing this! I was able to load some cards in V-Katsu, but the models were missing bangs, some accessories, and the character's unique clothes. One of the cards I'm trying to use is from https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/82221805

I'm new to this and am taking my best guess here, but is it because I can't use this card outside of Koikatsu including that HF Patch? Or is it possible but I have to go and find the appropriate mods?

A lot of stuff from Koikatsu is missing in here plus a lot of cards take in count that you are using the community packs, so unfortunatelly there isn't much we can do as most of the plugins for Koikatsu do not work with V-Katsu.

Aww, ok. I was afraid of that. Thank you for replying!
