Alright, 3DSMax shenanigans aside, I finally did it. I finally managed to recreate Valeria's costume, port it into Skyrim through creation kit magic, and see for myself what it looks like. Unfortunately, I realized that I didn't have a female character (again), and had to enlist the help of my unwilling follower (who looks nothing like Valeria does). Finally, the time has come where modelling IS posing in tiny T-shirts!

Erm. Yuki. Your butt. It's shining.

This issue is supposedly fixable, since Nightasy has an entire episode dedicated to it, but honestly, I haven't gotten that far yet. A consistent trend in my conversions is that they shine rather brightly, more so than well-oiled lolis in bondage.

Shiny armor aside, that is the least of my problems, oh Wesker, look at how that skirt moves! Now, Granado Espada was not known for it's high end clothing physics not centered around the chest area, but goodness me, the tearing on just half a leg up is tremendous. I guess the textures were never meant to be stretched out like that.

And doesn't that dress make you look fat? Really really fat? Valeria's dress was meant to be worn by a sixteen year-old unendowed girl kidnapped and locked in a prison for years on end, but putting it on a grown-up just ruins the look completely. The fitting needs to be tighter. I'm pretty sure that Yuki's chest was never that gigantic. Nor was it in Valeria's Granado Espada now that I think about it. Ah, the dangers of inflating clothes made for sixteen year olds!

This isn't a Chinese dress Yuki. Sleeves don't work like that in real life. Clipping issues, those were expected. Probably will be fixed by tomorrow. Bummer, was hoping that everything will go well so I could work on the boots tonight.

Thurindir is pissed off at me and keeps telling me to find Edward Kenway, and make him send me another clean copy of Skyrim just for testing purposes.

EDIT: I forgot to put in an extremely hilarious part of the entire mesh editing process. It turns out that Valeria's back is HUGE for a petite little girl. It bulges outwards so much that it makes even the biggest American football atheletes cover their faces in shame. I hope it's padding. I really do. Perhaps that's why Valeria never got a swimsuit in Granado Espada. Nobody wants to see a loli with larger back muscles than them.

Then again, she was locked up hanging from chains for at least sixteen years. Sixteen years of exerting those back muscles must have done something to the poor girl.
