Re: LE v3

New record......posting at 5 am lol. Nah, already had sleep.

If you want details about this style along with some other info you may want to know of, just click on the link to my forums in my above post.

Style - Dragon : Demonic Blue Lightning
Style 1 out of ??

Btw, in the first 3 shots, the katana on her right side is messed up because I accidentally replaced the katana texture for that one with my head model textures LOL.


1-3 things that I WILL state on here because I know I will have to.

Omgzerz noes 1 billionzer colorz variatonz! Go get Johnny Quest and have him pay me about 50 mil bux for a new brain and compensation for what I have been doing for the past 4 years. Unfortuately, I spent a lot of time working on this style and I AM NOT going to be doing this even if I do turn out perserving the textures.

This is my last style for a good long time. More info on my forums, but YOU WILL NOT see a public release of this, the previous styles, and the new body/pants models anytime soon.

What does "Style ? out of ??" mean? Heh, I leave that a mystery for now, but you can find the answer elsewhere.

Ah, its nice not having to post a ton, byebye.

Re: LE v3

Haha, posting exactly around the same time I did yesterday. Amazing LOL. Thats dope.

Unfortunately, this time, I am going to copy and paste what I said on my forums on about what I'm going to show you this time. I don't feel like leaving the noobs in the dark who don't know how to click a damn link in previous posts. This is probably the last time you see a lot of text for this thread though, but I have to address what I want to say to you.

Ah, so after looking at my daily Monday-Friday anime that comes on the movie channels on tv at night, there was this one outfit this one chick wore that I really really liked. I was thinking about making that for FFXI, but I always say no at first. As always, I tell myself, "You cannot do that, its impossible. Give it up and quit. But no, attempt to do it, you can do anything if you put your mind to it." Luckily, I was able to use the LE series to make this as I was going to anyways.

So I have completed Body v3 out of the 3 body models I planned to do for HF only. Changes.....
- Redesigned body model (common user won't notice usually)
- Increased breast size slightly
- Got rid of the belt as there was no belt in the anime girl's outfit
- Applied new skin textures to the body and pants models.
- Dumped textured necklace for now
- Modified pants model greatly (the common user wouldn't know and assumes 0 change when they look at it)
- Changed up sleeves model a bit
- "Tanified" my HF so now she doesn't appear so white. I like Tan girls, not "super white" girls anyways

Additions...
- New double saber (named Dragon : Masamune, heh had no better name anyways) in the works. Textures are finished, but there is one more major thing I need to add to the weapon model itself. Some people know me best for the insano weapon mods that I make for FFXI and this will be one of them.

For the past 2 years I suppose (since I didn't really make skin textures back when i first started), I've always had problems getting my skin textures looking right on any project that shows a lot of skin. Either they appear too bright on the model, don't look right, or the skin textures aren't truly shown. I spent a lot more time this early morning working on just that and finally, I got my skin textures showing up like they should and I got it looking somewhat like the girl in the anime I saw (sorry, can't describe what I truly mean by that). That was extremely crucial or else this new body and pants model would be a flop in my eyes. Using default skin textures (by SE) would be a big no no.

The thing is if you modify your skin textures for one thing, you must do it to everything else (hands, feet, etc). The next hardest thing is getting the head model skin textures to match the ones for the body. Its no simple just take what you did for the body and apply it to the head model textures. So I ended up getting the head model looking just right. Since she is tan looking now, she looks a hell of a lot better now imo and I likesees very much heh.

I did NOT do a exact replica of the outfit I saw in the anime. I never do that as I do have ideas of my own. What resembles the outfit in the anime compared to mine is that the pants and body along with showing the same amount of skin is the same. What is different is that the pants aren't cut off on the sides and the upper body/arms were different in the anime outfit. It was more like armor in other words.

Hmm shots shots. Note, I purposely left the hands and feet the original skin textures/colors that I did long ago so you could see the difference. In future shots, the hands will have my new skin textures along with the feet. I was going to show a modelviewer shot since I thought the HQ renders wouldn't show my skin textures like they should, but it turned out great so no need.



I am going to assume half like that look and the other half doesn't (b/c it shows too much skin and for some reason, some people have a problem with that lol). That is how the outfit looked like in the anime I was looking at tonight (err last night now since its saturday) and that was how it was going to be made. And hey, I like it and thats all that matters . I accomplished my mission. Proved once again I can do anything I put my mind to. Still waiting on that fabulous day where I CAN'T do something.

Oh I'm not done yet. Remember that weapon I was talking about? The double saber? Yeah, that one.



Its almost done, but the textures are done. The model isn't. Unfortunately, I did not do the sub hand one yet and its not a good idea to anyways since its not done. These aren't used as katanas, but swords so remember that. I will be making a Katana and GK version that will resemble something like the above. I just do double sabers for fun since PSO/PSU got me into it. Will release a beta of these soon.

There is a MEGAZ PROBLEMOS with this above outfit tho that I forgot to state on my forums. Since I made my own skin textures and since they are tanish looking, if you use a different head model other than mine, it won't go with the skin textures of the body. Infact, it looks pretty wierd looking. No, I am not going to modify all HF head models with my skin textures so you're kinda **** out of luck ya know unless you request for me to do it for x head model.

When can you expect a beta of the above outfit? Well, I changed my original plans. I will release a beta sometime in January and let the mass public have it sometime in Feb or March. This does NOT mean that you WILL NOT see the HM/EM/etc ports until Feb/March, its just this certain body style and the texture style itself. Unfortunately, it DOES work/look right in a lot of the animations, but there are a lot of issues that cropped up that need a lot of fixing.

If you wish to see the future finished double saber on other races and any future weapons, you best say something about wanting it on x race or say nothing at all because I decided that I WILL NOT do any weapons porting unless people are requesting it. So once again, HF gets all the love, kthxbai.

Most probably wouldn't know, but I worked my tail off on this one. I was glad to finally see my custom skin textures working this time around like they should. All the changes/modifications took about 5-6 hours. But I am glad its done though because it lookz goodz to meez heh. Ya, did the outfit for myself really and not for the public lol. the challenge.

My brain used up all its power and now needs a week or two off to recharge. Need to continue playing some ps2 games on the pc here with pcsx2 emu anyways. Cya and merry xmas & happy new year I guess....ugh me being nice, not good at all..........
