Asian character generator assets?

[Inception92]

It's been several months now that I've been on break from a project I was working on, and I recently started regaining interest in working on it once more, but I hit a bit of a snag.

The region of my game world that I was last working on is a place that I'm trying to base off Japanese culture, with the people there being of Asian descent. When I last worked on the project (which was around Summer or Fall of 2022) I don't think there were any suitable assets available at that time, and the best I could find were parts they made for MV, with the Japanese character packs they released. I used those packs at the time (not sure if that's even allowed since they were made for MV and not MZ), but since then I lost the original install of MZ that I had on my pc, and when I reinstalled it I lost all the stuff I added to the generator folder, such as all the Japanese stuff (and sadly I don't own MV anymore, so can't redownload the assets).

Was wondering if they released any character generator DLC for MZ that has assets that would work for Japanese characters? Things such as kimono, samurai armor, and so on? Or if anyone here on the forum has created assets that would work.

what do you mean, you don't "own" it anymore?
where have you bought it?

you can see the released dlc's on steam or komodo plaza ... there are only 18 generator packs for mz as of today ... and most of them contain western styled clothing ...

I only bought MV for those packs, and refunded the game after I bought those packs. Probably gonna get some flak for that, but it wasn't meant to be a permanent solution, just something to hold me over til there were other alternatives.

well ... the asian packs you talk about at least are only released for mv at the moment ...

what i can think of, in terms of dlc packs would be
the heroin generator or heroine generator 5 [though, they only have a single kimono styled piece each as far as i can tell]

... and maybe a ninja/samurai in the fantasy generator armor parts ... which is fairly new for mz ...

I was able to find some suitable assets. Kind of annoying though that they definitely seem to favor putting out generator assets for heroines, with there hardly being any hero assets.

well, true ... that's something criticised quite often as far as i can tell ...

though, lately they started releasing other types of assets [like mecha/ships and even a male generator set] ... so maybe just a question of time

also, if you don't have any generator parts at all, there's an alternative route you could take ... [though i can't tell you, how good or bad that would be] ...

with rm unite they released a vrm converter on steam for 10$ ...
so, you basically could try to create youre sprites with vroid ... though, they'd be in a totally different style then the generator ... so ...

I've moved this thread to Resource Requests. Thank you.

If you bought MV so you could get the DLC, then you refunded MV, you are no longer entitled to use the DLC - in MV or any other engine.

Which is why I'm looking for MZ alternatives. Also I mentioned in another post in this thread that the first solution wasn't intended to be a permanent one.

Might look into something like that for a new project, but I'd rather not have to go through the learning process of having to make all those models, and then to recreate every single character and npc in my game so that the style will match.

Honestly I wish that I was more capable of making sprite art. I have made overworld sprites in the past (only a few) back when I messed around with Pokemon essentials, and have made some for my MZ project, but I got no talent at all for making assets to be used with character portraits & battle.

i would recommend to watch the discounts on this website, so as soon MV is available for low price, your license problem can easyly be solved..

check the discounts whenever there is a celebration
(eastern,x-mas.. ect)

The only resources that come to my mind are all for MV...
