Hmm.......ok, had some time to continue working on this. Let me tell you this first off..
Its near impossible for me to add the rest of the feet and the legs. I think I may start documenting for myself what each and every skeleton does for HF (Should of done this long ago), but after messing with it for the longest, her legs are going to stick out. I've tried almost everything possible to my knowledge and currently, the only way for it to work is if I make her legs SUPER small
. Even then, I think stuff would still be sticking out.
When I say super small......I mean it looks like she has absolutely no "meat" on her
. Like a stick figure. And her butt? Yeah, I don't want to know about that part lol.
I may be able to extend the feet part just a little so it looks like she has legs, but its not going to be the whole shabangabang
.
Now I see why SE didn't add any legs to their npcs....even though they have the necessary tools that I don't have access to, they decided to be lazy and not do it like that
.
I'll keep working on it though, but its not a huge priority for me now.
Ok, that was the bad news. Good news is this....
Ok, I have kinked out most of the bugs and everything should be looking right from the waist up. I'm not fully done because in order for 0 clipping to occur, I need to add some points around the waist area. So right now, majority of it is looking fine, its just some parts that need to be fixed.
Now we get to the lower part of the dress. After changing my dress to white/purplish (meh, can't tell really), I noticed there were some problems there. I cannot really describe it to you nor show it to you because well........don't feel like lol. Just another complicated paragraph I got to say which you shouldn't be interested in anyways.
So since I'm going to be vauge, I fixed this so called "issue." But oh no, I fix one thing, I break another. Now in some animations, the left foot and lower part of the dress is not working so great.
Concluded that I probably need just a few points at the lower part of it and play around with it.
Now all before that, I said to myself, "Don't you want a real necklace?" Granted, I am fricken tired of that so called "necklace" that is already on the model.......its just part of the texture so its not really a real necklace lol.
So, I had 2 choices.....make one yourself (Time consumer -.-) or take the easy way out and find a necklace thats already made. Obviously, I am not going to make my own necklace because its a time consumer for me.
So after getting everything right and tweaking it according to my head model (should work with any really), I got my own necklace on my dress. Its pretty cool in my opinion. It goes with the black dress really well, didn't feel like doing one for the white one. I can now port this necklace to almost any of my mods now if I want a necklace on them
.
So here are some shots:
Front
Side (See, necklace all real
)
Is that necklace animated? I saw on npcs where it was, but I don't think I can do this for PCs. Not saying you can't, just that its going to take some time which I don't have. You basically have to play with it hours upon end. Its fine as is, I don't need it animated. Thats just something extra I will do after everything is finished.
So can you replace the textures for the necklace with your own? Nope. Yes, you can extract it as dds, open it in photoshop, edit, and replace the file with changetex. But once you replace your dat file and look at it, the whole thing is gone. To make it reappear again, you would need the original dds file.
There is a little trick though in getting your textures to work with the necklace. VRS not needed. Would I explain the trick? Nah, thats for you to figure out
.
So now I'm saying, the beta I released awhile back is crap now. The current version I'm working with has all those nasty problems fixed now along with a cool looking necklace
. No, I'm not releasing a near final one just yet. There are still many things I must do and fix. I also have to see with the addition of the necklace if everything looks right in game. More importantly, I have to add a ton of points in order for me to have very unique designs on my dress. That my friend will take a while since adding stuff on this dress is harder than normal stuff I have made.
Thats all for now, should see some other post about a weapon mod I've done sometime or another.
