Lotus Armor HGEC Lower Body Size Expansion
Modder's Resource

This is an expansion of the original LotusRemodel, lotus_fundosi.nif by kiki and the very original Lotus armor v1-32945 by Fizz. It is intended as a modder's resource, even though parts of it may be used as a replacer. As such there is no new ESP. You will need to DL and install the ESP from LotusRemodel by kiki, and the original resources from Lotus armor v1-32945 by Fizz for the textures.
The original, best I could tell was based on the Original HGEC, approximately C-cup and S lower body. Using gerra6's stand-alone tools, version 89k I have converted the original size to the following additional bottom sizes:
S, M, L, LL, GM, Manga, Manga_W.
Cup size remains a C-Cup.
Template resources for the various body sizes are from SetBody_Reloaded_Blockhead_Edition_1_42_Data.
There are two separate sets, with BB bottoms enabled and without it enabled. The OP3 nodes were present in the original but not BBfied as it did not exist then. For those with lower body BBfication, I only selected and added the OP3 nodes based on the Setbody template meshes.
There are then two sets of reworked meshes, a full armor conversion and a partial for just the lower body and the fundosi component. I did so as I plan on using it for a much larger mash-up project.
The full armor conversions were all created based on a lattice that was created from the original, plus the target HGEC size. The separate lower body fundosi component was step-by-step first converted from the original to the SetBody size, then used to make a lattice to make the subsequent sizes. This produced a much 'cleaner' conversion than what was produced by just using the original to produce all lattices for all HGEC sizes.
The separate lower body fundosi component could potentially be used to replace what is in the full armor conversion, but I have yet to try it and test it.
All full armor conversions have the same name as the originating nif, so it can be used as a replacer. I did not convert the extra color. You can simply use NifSkope to change the texture paths and save it as a new nif for the other color.
