About This File
I hadn't uploaded anything in a LONG time so....
Stuffs!!!!!
Iris Scout
20 modular part light armor set:
Made from scratch almost entirely with the polydraw tools in 3ds Max.
Meant for lower level to newer characters.
9 Pieces, 2 colors (brown or gray~ish leather)
+ Strapless Pauldron Variants (Less clipping)
Stats:
Roughly the same as a full Hide Armor set when wearing 9 pieces (Get over it, the extra enchant slots make it OP enough), +/- 5 ish.
Crafting:
Craftable, and Temperable at the usual places where such things are done.
Simple, 2 leather 2 leather strip recipe per part, with a 1 leather temper. You can find them under the Hide category.
Not so much fun details:
~ No weight slider. I had a specific character in mind, and I'm too fucking lazy to do morphs and screw around with something I'll likely be sick of in 2 weeks or less.
~ I made this for a varient of Unpb that I use, so some Unpb versions may clip if you aren't wearing one of the tops. Closest varient is likely the MTM Tbbp bodies by Mr. T or Mr. B's pregnancy body.
(note: this set does not use a belly node)
~ Some Clipping is bound to occur here or there, shit happens.
~ I use HDT-PE for physics and didn't notice any clipping from that type of thing with the animations I use, but that may not be the case for everybody.
~ There are some smoothing artifacts here and there, but not bad for the first armor I've really done from scratch, and extra inline edges would add a lot to poly counts (I play on a laptop).
~ Textures: Mostly 2048 (pardon my crappy laptop screen shots) some 1024 and 512. Smaller parts were given smaller textures.
~ I am a novice, so my topo isn't all that great.... oh darn.
Slot Conventions:
Gloves ~ 33
Bracer ~ 59
Capris style pants ~ 48
Shorts ~ 48
Pauldrons ~ 46
Panty ~ 49 (I generally use 52 for this, but switched it for the upload version for compatibility reasons)
Top ~ 32
Skimpy Top ~ 32
Sandals ~ 37
Keywording Notes:
Some eccentric keywording was used for perk compatibly smithing and general use.
~ Capris and shorts are both recognized as a cuirass type items. For the topless crowd, and armor set/tempering perks.
~ Panty and Pauldrons both get treated as Helmet/circlet type items. Sort of like above, because fuck hats.
~ Bracer gets treated like gauntlets... you get the idea.

Whomsoever I have forgotten ~ Keep on doing that thing there that it was that you were doing and stuff....?
A Tbbp (or compatible) Skeleton is required obviously.
I would recommend either using the XpMS versions handled by Groovetama (sp?) over in the HDT-PE section of LL
Or Visit SkullTyrant's Mod pages over on nexus for some custom skeleton goodness.
Other Notes:
Thanks, but I'm more than capable of uploading this to other sites if I want it there, Please refrain from doing so for the time being.
I'd rather decide for myself if I want it on nexus or the like (which I may or may not do idk yet).
If all else fails just ask.
