So I'm back on track after my major cluster fuck of " I'm a tard" ism. Not much else to report really except I am now in love with hdt's Physics Plugin and wanted to do something with it. So I started a new Cloak \ cape \ whatever you want to call it for the upcoming Shaydow Set. Had to cut the UV in more than half to avoid SUPER CLIPPING, as well as pull it way out from the body. Doing so made it look rather weird as it hung half a foot away from the neck, so I had to build a type of mantle to attach to it to make it look like it should be there. Here ya go blog followers \ readers, another sneak sneak peak at what I've been up to :

I'm not sure yet if this item is going to REQUIRE HDT's hdtPhysicsExtensions SKSE plugin yet or not. I'm hoping it WON'T, since I don't want Celestials to ever really require another mod for others to use, but I have not tested yet, so if anything understand that in future testing it turns out this item DOES require the Plugin, then it won't be available in Celestials. If I can add it in and it works WITHOUT the plugin but doesn't have the Physics attached to it, then I will just have it as another " this isn't required but won't work the way it should unless you have it " type of deal, like with RaceMenu and the extra body \ head sliders, the SKSE for eye overlay changes, Scriptdragon for jump height etc as I have right now.

I'm not sure if I mentioned already, I can't remember, but once I feel this set is " good to go ", it's getting remade again in Celestials from scratch. Hence the title of this Blog being a reference to V7, I'm going to be making this as part of Celestials next release. What started as a small personal mashup has turned into a new unique set, and I'm glad to be going back to the Celestial Body to make it. Don't get me wrong, I have no beef with UNP, but the whole reason I made the Celestial Body was because I like it I should have known this would actually happen when I started working on it, since that was the way Celestials ( well technically the old Legacy Celestial Armors mod I made before incorporating it into Celestials ) started in the first place.

Might post a few more teaser shots tomorrow if I get the chance. It's my wife's birthday so we will see how it goes. I've also added a DRESS this time ( not a short skirt like all my others ), as well as a new shirt to match, a new set of HDT heels, etc. Overall the Shaydow Set has pretty much almost all new Unique pieces to it. The only thing off the top of my head I can think is from other sets is the Angel Form Panties and Jewelry stuff, this time setup to use the Main Celestial Body instead of the Angel Knight Body. They are the exact same other than making it compatible with the different body. While the Shaydow set uses a lot of other pieces and textures from the other sets ( that was kinda the point ), everything is being changed in all sorts of ways to give it a new feel. Alphas, textures, sizes, placements, clipping fixes, etc. You won't even really be able to tell some pieces have been pulled from the other sets, and MOST of the pieces are actually new to the set, like the cape \ dress and skirts \ shirt \ shoulders \ wings \ guns \ etc etc etc.

Even when I tell myself I'm going to take a break from modding for awhile, this shit ends up happening.....
