This mod contains new texture files for the Iron Chastity Belt, I really don't like the original texture files, so I made a new set of textures, maintaining the style of the original but with high resolution and detailed maps. 

 

I may add more pieces, there are a large number of items in the mod that look, well not great but due to how they're set up they're impossible to retexture nicely without having to edit the base meshes, which I am not doing. 

 

So if you like this small mod, enjoy! 

 

Requirements:

• Devious Devices SE (and all of it's requirements.)

 

Installation:

• Install using any mod manager.
• Or install manually by dragging the contents into your data folder. 

 

 

Massive thanks to the original Author(s) of DD and it's components.

Thank you!

I would certainly like to, I just need to find the ones that I can work with, all the Zaz equipment has a lot of overlapping UV's, so I Can't really do anythign with the textures on them without having to figure out how to export/import with rigging,
and at that point I would also require permission because it would be uploading modified files as opposed to just my own textures. Which unfortunately in my opinion, they're the ones that are in most need of an update. 
Most of the ebonite/leather stuff if okay, maybe some could use updates but I'd need to look in more detail.

Can you tell us more about your thoughts? 
(To be honest, DD is great from the beginning, but a little bit outdated. UV is heavy. I use 3BBB and I don't remember how it was from the beginning, but now the bad bone weight is very noticeable).

The ZaZ stuff is my biggest gripe, a lot of bad UV's but they're made to all use the same texture, so redoing them is difficult without re-uv mapping them as a whole, I also 9 times out of 10 get bad frames when using stuff with chains (hand cuffs/leg cuffs) Though I don't know how they're set up, so even if I did re-UV them and make more dynamic textures beyond a flat map I wouldn't know how to re-import them into the game, as much as I would love to. 

The ebonite and Leather things, imo in terms of textures are fine and the Devious Devices AI Upscale mod seems to do a decent job (Not amazing but it improves most items I've seen since I've installed it)  so I don't know if it'd be worth my while to re-texture them, but definitely the bad weightings are very noticable, especially on the ballet boots. I want to cry everytime I see them. So at present I'm not sure I'll do any more retextures, but I am thinking about maybe expanding on the available devices, The first of which I would make a dwemer restraints set, with new custom models and textures. Additionally maybe a Dremora (I recently finished playing theough Gordian Bind in Trappings of Fate, and I thoroughly enjoyed it, much inspiration) or relic set (maybe Ayleid or nordic possibly.)  
New meshes are much more viable for me than reworking old ones.
