Is the naming save mod safe to use? No bugs, no changes between versions and no accidental deleted saves or whatever?
And yeah, I think that's more on the complicated side. Wonder if the locations used for this game are defaults or if you need those too? I don't think I will actually commit to it tho. Looked at the lighting quoted just now and I don't think I want to go through the effort of learning that stuff.
Yeah, Kolkatsu — or any 3D modeling app — isn’t for the faint of heart. It takes a while to learn how to get things even into the right positions, not clipping (aka thrusting through each other in ways other than the fun ones), let alone lighting, framing, manipulating hair and clothes so they hang realistically… You need to develop not only a film director’s eye to compose shots on three dimensions (four, if you want to play with animation), but also a fair level of technical skill and a lot of patience.
I’ve played around with KK, Honey Select (by Illusion, the same Japanese studio), as well as more serious engines like Daz and Blender. (I was looking at adapting some of my fiction to VN or graphic novel form.)
And… I’m not sure I’ll ever be any good at it.
Still, it’s fun, if you want to play around with the characters from this game, or others. There are many tutorials to get you started and plugins to add items, functions, etc.
The funny thing is KK started, not as an anime-style 3D modeling engine, but as a silly school harem game of exactly the sort that the early episodes of LiL are spoofing.
Oh—and props to Selebus, for managing to take a fairly basic, limited modeling app and using it to create shots like the ones of
Rin blowing bubbles in the baths.

Impressive!
(Yes, I’m pretty sure that most of the shots included in the game are heavily processed in Photoshop or some other pro-level image editing app. Still! Nice!)
