S.Y.M.B.I.O.N.T

[LoR1DoK]

Before talking about this mod i need to say that i'm russian and this fact can cause some problems with my grammar on English sorry for that, but i chose English as primary language for my project. In some time i'll translate it to Russian, if it will be needed, but personally I have no need of this at the moment.

 

I am newbie at creating topics, so I will borrow some tricks from the original topic, so don’t be surprised and don’t try to blame me - I don’t hide it.

 

S.Y.M.B.I.O.N.T - is the ideological successor of the project 130 and the author of the original idea CoolSkelteon95(Original post HERE). I'm not trying to stole his idea, just want to bring his idea to life. It's not only my dream, it's a dream of much more people and i'll try to keep developing this mod as long as i can.
I'm not promising that my try don't end like his try, i promise nothing at all, everything i can say that i'll work on it with all my might. I do not make far-reaching plans for the future, everything i make i'll post here, so lets begin.

 

Questions:

Spoiler

Q:  Who is the author of original idea?

A:  CoolSkelteon95

 

Q: What is the main idea of this mod?

A: Currently, I decided not to depart far from the original idea and you can read about it in the original post HERE.

 

Q: How long it take to finish this mod?

A: I really don't know, but I'm going to upload it in parts as soon as part will be ready.

 

Q:  Do you accept help?

A:  Will see.

 

Q:  What soft do you currently use.

A:  Blender, Caliente's Bodyslide and Outfit Studio, GIMP, Photoshop.

 

Q:  How will work on the mod go?

A:  To simplify, I decided to use the stage system as in the original mod, but I will describe only the current stage.

 

Q:  Why are you using Atomic Beauty body as base, not CBBE?

A:  AB has more polygons, provides more place for expansion and details.

 

Q:  There are will be expansion fetish in this mod!?

A:  Yes, of course, and a lot of expansion, it may include all kinds of expansion, inflation and other things except content that offensive for everyone(Gore, scat and other absolutly disgusting content). And, of course it will be optional, but important part of mod.

 

Be aware that every answer can be changed, with time.

 

STAGE 1:

On this step i'm going to make models and textures for base S.I.M.B.I.O.N.T outfit (I have problems with texturing, but i'll try to solve them with the help of my persistence).

So what i currently have(Here you can see my last work status, i update it at the end of my last work session)

7 November, 2018 Usually i'm working on it at night and symbiont body was made last night, as you see models are almost finished, i just need to add two armor pieces for symbiont, fix UVs and I'm ready to make textures(The most hard part for me at this stage).

 

8 November, 2018 This evening I ended up with the modeling of symbiotic armor (However, some flaws need to be fixed in future). I also experimented with textures and got an unexpected result. I was very surprised to see what happened, but I like the result and now it remains to be finalized. Tomorrow or the day after, i think, I'll end with first textures and upload first working model, it will be nude body replacer for this time, but who knows may be I'll deal with Creation Kit faster then i think and release it as standalone outfit.

 

9 November, 2018 This night i have tried new way to make normal maps, but it dont work the way i wanted to(lack of skill), so i just imported working variant into bodyslide, copied weights and run the game, it looks better then i thought, but i think symbiont looks too bright, maybe need darker textures. But, rain of shine, now I am a step closer to the first release.  Screenshots are attached above, do not pay attention to the graphics (GTX 650 + Fullhd do not fit well, going to upgrade to 1060 this month).

 

10 November, 2018 This night I've done with tentacles, made textures for em(they're shitty, but i need working version for now) and, hopefully, tomorrow I'll end with armor, fix problems with tentacle weights around vagina and upload first working version.

 

10 November, 2018 Today I've done first working version, it's not a mod for now, just replacer for AtomicBeauty and you need to install it before installing my mod. BE AWARE! It's only preview version and it has a lot of problems.

 

12 November, 2018 I had problems with my PC this weekend(Some technical problems with BIOS), so there were no updates to this day, sorry for it. I have solved these problems, so i'm going to continue my work tomorrow.

 

14 November, 2018 Last night I realized that I got ill (hateful autumn in my region). But this does not mean that I will stop development before recovery, only progress will slow down a bit. Yesterday I was dealt with the creation kit until i down with the sickness and today I finally made Symbiont standalone outfit. Just re-download archive and activate Symbiont.esp, ingame symbiont can be crafted with chemistry station. It has no GO model for now, so don't drop it or it'll disappear.

 

21 November, 2018 There will be no updates for some time, because I have exams soon.  But I’m not sure about this and maybe I’ll sit down and do something on the weekends)

 

28 November, 2018 I finally bought a GTX 1060 and I’ll soon upload screenshots at a better resolution, most likely on the weekend.

 

10 October, 2018 Initially, I thought that the most difficult part for me would be the creation of textures. In fact, it turned out that the biggest problems I have with coding, I simply do not understand yet where to start. But most likely this is due to the chaos that is going on in my head because of exams. I think this problem will be resolved as soon as I pass through them and then i'll become  Ready, Steady, Fighty (Again) )) I expect that this will not last longer than until the end of January, and until then I will try to gradually build a plan that will help me realize the code part of the mod.

And although I am not a fan of making plans and always did everything with the help of improvisation, but here my Little Engine, turned out to be one that could not( 

 

26 January, 2019 And now the new year has come, I figured out most of the cases and freed up some time to work on the mod. I have decided so far not to touch the script part of the mod and work on the models. After such a long break, I had many difficulties with returning to work, but after a couple of hours I caught up with the loss. It took me quite a lot of time to decide on the style of armor, but now it will go faster. This time I made the top part of the armor for arms, screenshots are attached.

 

4 March, 2019 Fuhhhh .... A month has passed since the last update, there were reasons for that, and in the comments I revealed one of them. All this time I was waiting for some kind of inspiration, which did not reveal itself until yesterday. So I sat down at the table, put a couple of new programs (ZBrush and Maya) and forced myself to continue the work, oddly enough, after a couple of hours it went and I didn’t have to force myself, I finished the first armor models, so now they need to be sanded, fix some bugs, create textures and I can finally go to the mod itself (I guess I'm not really sure).
In general, I attached screenshots, as usual.

[Halstrom]

Awesomely creepy

[Aylis]

This is quite interesting (and creeepy). Too bad that you have to use Atomic Beauty...

[loen999]

Take all the time you need ;D

[Olmech]

Yeah...was really excited to see this...right up to the Atomic Beauty part. But hey, to each their own. I prefer CBBE.

[myuhinny]

You can always use bodyslide and change it to that body type.

[Kleind50]

Hello!
This mod can be used with male characters or only with female?

As myuhinny said, you can always use Bodyslide to make it fit male body, but i develop mod as female-only, just because i'm a man. But... if i continue develop this mod as intended, there will be parasite infected male NPCs...( Quest part of the modification, although it will not be soon) 

P.S. Actually, I am not sure about anything, this is why I'm not describing my next step. Thus, everything is possible and there is a non-illusory chance of the appearance of a symbiont for men.

I don't see any problems of using this mod with CBBE or vanilla body it's just model and i prefer AB because it has more polygons and i'll include CBBE version if will be needed. Also, you can always try AB and update it to shape you need with BodySlide.

P.S. By the way, I would like to know at least a few reasons why you don’t like AB, maybe I can help? I do the models in the end)

P.S.S Guys, if someone tested the latest version with an ESP file, please describe if there were any problems.

Awesome work can't wait for more content. Will the armour have animations or move?

[LinksSword]

Oh damn if this adds breeding eggs and other weird stuff it could be very interesting.

[OlBenny]

Very cool, indeed.  I'll be rooting for you.

[Guest YaOi89]

I would be happy to have male version too.

It is difficult, but I would like to implement it. But it will be after I finish with the main part - the script part.

Look at the last question in the questions section ;-) Any thoughts why I need a model with a large number of polygons?
