Remove pants from this armor and add real skin

[Co0n]

This mod adds several assassin armors which are extremly well made.

Unfortunately they dont show the right amount of skin

 

I took a screenshot and marked some parts I'd like to have removed (pink) while keeping the leather parts (green) on the pants.

 

 

I tried doing that with alpha textures, but there is no real body under this armor.

If somebody is able to add the UNP legs below the mesh and make it work it would be really awesome!

I think the new look combined with some nice panties (or even without ^^) would be very nice

I forgot what I did once, but I did some stuff to the alpha channel of the dragon bone cuirass .dds (diffuse map). And I got some parts to be transparent. LOL. Though I think I got lucky and it's properties for every armor that might have to be set in nifskope or their 3d modeling program cuz I did the exact same thing with others and it didn't work.

 

The main thing that acting as a barrier to me is the weights and stuff people talk about. I started using blender yesterday, but for a program I know could do this is easily would be Milkshape 3D that is formed by triangles. Then, you could just drill holes and delete those parts from the armor.

I think the main problem is, that there is no body in the armor mesh included

[shedidwhat]

depending on clipping,

 

you can use nifskope to put the body

in the armor

 

I dont have the tower mod installed

but if you tell me the blacktower armor folder

and your unp body type

I'll see what can be done

[Co0n]

sounds awesome!

I'm using the standard UNP body

If you use the manual install file from the nexus, the paths are:

 

meshes: \OPTIONS\fembody\unp\meshes\armor\dcvrworks

textures: \textures\armor\dcvrworks

 

note: there are 7 different armor textures and meshes, because there are 7 different styles for that armor in game ;-)

If you do the work about the meshes + setting the textures to show alpha levels in nifskope, then I can do all the texture relating stuff.

Thanks for your help!

[Co0n]

Thank you so much

I try to get it work and post some screens later on.

I can do you a full job in Blender if you want, would remove all the clipping issues and shouldn't take too long.

That would be awesome since I'm having some crash issues atm

[Evilrunner]

Done (hopefully )

 

The meshes are all set up, alpha node is on, just need the textures with alpha channel setting for them. Due to the way I culled the body to prevent clipping, the layout you posted will work, trying to set anything else transparent will not however.

 

The missing hands in the screenshot is a problem my end, not with the meshes by the way.

 

Any issues or queries let me know.

[Co0n]

You sir, are awesome!

It works just fine as it is.

I tried putting on some panties (osare) and there are some minor clipping issues.

Is it possible to fix that?

 

Edit:

Just realzied another issue, don't know if thats fixable.

The alpha map seems to get worse if I move the camera away, so it looks really crappy right now for normal play.

In closeups it looks quite good though

(the second one is hot, but you can see the clipping I was talking about )

[Evilrunner]

I can fix the clipping on the panties no trouble, as for the alpha, I assume you are saving as DXT5? It may be something in the nifs alpha flags as well, I'll have a look around.

[Co0n]

Y, it's DXT5.

Thank you very much

[Evilrunner]

Version 2 is finally done after some really odd errors. Couple of things, I adjusted the outfit specifically to fit with the panties. I also changed a value on the alpha node. May either fix the issue or do nothing at all

It fixed everything and it looks damn awesome now

Posting screenshots after Germany vs. Greece ;-)

[Evilrunner]

Glad it works ok, I look forward to seeing what you've done

[shedidwhat]

thank you Evilrunner

much better than I did in nifskope

 

also here is a more skimpy version

http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/9546

UNP_-_Ultra_Skimpy_Nightingale_Armor_-_REV_A-9546-3-5

its basicly the blacksacrament armor thats skimpy but with different

textures and UV's.

 

here are some screenshots

with using the blacktower textures

and some UVedits to realign the textures

 

[Co0n]

That skimpy version is a bit too skimpy for my taste, but thanks

 

here is how it looks so far (need to rework the texture now to let it look more like lingerie)

 

 

Thank you so much!

[Evilrunner]

Looks good, I hope you put it up for download when you finish. If you want anything else done any time feel free to ask as well, I like doing the occasional outfit.

[Co0n]

Ok, played a little with the texture.

I discovered some more clipping between the legs:

 

 

 

But I really enjoy the looks so far, thank you so much

 

 

 

 

If there are any wishes for the texture or somebody wants to work on the texture on their own plz tell me

I will upload what I have as soon as everything fits

[Evilrunner]

Your pics seem to be set to forbidden.

[Co0n]

Should be fine now, sry for that.

[shedidwhat]

looks good coon

[Evilrunner]

I'll get that last bit of clipping fixed for you. Odd bit of clipping too, doesn't see to be in either nifskope or Blender.

[Evilrunner]

I gave the trousers some more slack around the areas you said there was clipping, should do the trick.

 

Was an absolute pain to get out, for some reason the skyrim weight system kept trying the match the 0 weight body to the 1 weight armour and vice versa, took me a while to find a work around.

[caperpp]

are you able to do a cbbe curvy version?
