Hirochi Outlaw – Enhanced Rider Models

Hey guys, I'm back with another throw-together mod. This time it addresses the rider model on @thatjackguy's "Hirochi Outlaw" mod. The rider, in case you were blind, looked a bit like a Poptart. I downloaded a free human-skeleton model, scaled it to my liking, and used it as a template to stretch and simplify the existing rider mesh to fit over it.

Features

Improved Skeleton & Proportions:

• A human skeleton now properly fits inside the rider model

• Riders now have five fingers on each hand (hands are currently open)

• Feet are now foot-shaped – no more flatbread feet

• Heads are slightly less tiny (male head scaled 1.15x, female approx. 1.046x)

Male Rider:

• Now stands 6'1" (originally intended for 6' even, but shoe soles added an inch)

• Previously roughly 6'4" – now more realistically proportioned

Female Rider:

• Scaled-down and proportionally adjusted copy of the male rider

• Stands 5'8" – slightly above-average height

• Almost completely remade torso and legs for proper proportions

Technical Improvements:

• Complete, scratch-made, from-the-ground-up dedicated rider JBeam files

• Male and female riders have their own JBeam configurations

• Some minor texture fixes

Before & After

• Before: Rider looked like a Poptart – flat, disproportionate, with vague hands and feet

• After: Properly proportioned human figure with distinct fingers, foot-shaped feet, and realistic height

(Old male rider shown in red, new male rider shown in green for comparison)

How to Use

No included configs! To use the new riders:

• Go into any Hirochi Outlaw vehicle configuration

• Navigate to the customization menu

• Under the "Rider" section, select:

  • "EXPERIMENTAL MALE" for the male rider

  • "EXPERIMENTAL FEMALE" for the female rider

Current Known Bugs & Issues

• Rider legs are somewhat weak – Completely changed leg design with JBeam'd foot and ankle to reduce mesh stretching; will take time to fully debug

• Hands are always open – Animated hands planned for future update

• Clip-on handlebars invert the female rider's upper arm (except "Cafe Racer" configuration); fix pending

• No major functionality issues – ready for testing and feedback

Future Plans

• Animated hands with breakGroup models (similar to in-game glass) – hands will animate to operate clutch, throttle, front brake, and become invisible with open hands visible when rider breaks off bike

• Animated feet (potential for shifter/rear brake operation)

• Customizable rider suit and helmet colors – early preview colorable helmets included

• Helmet accessories – early preview of "Cute Kitty Ears" shown

• Physical JBeam'd head to reduce complication with helmet accessories and future-proof the mod

• Motocross style open-face helmet with goggles

Installation

Simply drop the mod folder into your mods directory. It should work immediately. If you encounter any issues not listed, please PM the creator for assistance.

Author's Note (Added 6/24/2025)

After reading @thatjackguy's full post, I realize he mentions trying to improve his humanoid-modeling skills and adding customizable riders in the future. This mod is in no way meant to "steal his thunder." I also realize some wording in this post is unnecessarily critical of his rider model. I was legitimately clowning on the current look, but I don't want to discourage anyone from improving their skills.

Jack, sorry bro – I meant no offense. I love the Outlaw, and stick with it. You'll learn how to make humanoid models you like if you keep after it. I didn't mean to discourage you; I'm sorry for being inconsiderate.
