Hello there dear Habsburgs and Bourbons,
moving on with the jewelry design, materials and heightmaps for the Mythic Dawn Priestess project.
As i posted lately, I modelled some very simple medallion-based layouts of the jewelry and tried to distribute these elements ...

Hi guys :)
Moving on with the toughest part of redesigning the Leto Outfit into MDP.
My first attempt will be a simple form and an elaborate texture of the pendant's medallions. So first I try to set up some nice proportions and scale of the elements and secondly I'll experiment with the materials in Substance Painter.
I also ...

I wanted to post Falka (and Saskia) 1.7 at Nexus today, but I discussed the steel material recently with one of the Patrons and we got to some interesting conclusions.
I need only a bit of time to incorporate these ideas and the major update will be available at Nexus this week I hope.
So please stay tuned :)

I wanted to post this one for a long time - speaking of masks headdresses and voluptuous gowns.
I don't know if the Emerald City series is any good as far as screenplay goes, since I just watched it for the costumes. :D I really admire every Tarsem Singh movie (he is the director here) as far as aesthetics are concerned. I also Loved The ...

I thought I'd do a little bit more this weekend regarding the MDP project, but I had to clean my flat :D since things started to pile up dangerously. What I managed to do, is to think about the new belt concept. Again, I started with medallions forming a chain and I think I'll stick to that.
Only few details left to remodel and I'll be able to get back into Substance Pain...

Another quick report about the recent redesign process.
The headdress is done, the necklacer is done and the bracers are done. Time to move on to the bodice and skirt, where I want to redo the jewelry accessories and details, since the general form has been redesigned alr...

Well here goes the final look of the headdress :)
I really like the medallions motif - it looks more like Hermaeus Mora - related, which adds a pile of evil to the look, which is kind of nice I guess :D
Now time to move on to the necklacer :)
Cheers!

I finally started to redesign the recently banned Leto Headdress into The Mythic Dawn Priestess Headress.
I gave the previous no 6 sketch a go in 3d and went somewhat into details with it.
So, to model the multilayer halo I created 5 layers - front to back:
1. The organic sunrays
2. The ...

I finally started to think about some alternative looks for the former Leto Outfit. I'll try to stick to mythic dawn theme. Since I really like the rising sun motif for the headdress. here are some first designs. I will produce a bit more I guess. But I already like some of them :)
What do you think?

Hey there dear Patrons,
a small WIP update.

Unfortunately the Leto Outfit had to be shut down, both here and at Nexus, on the request of the original author of the outfit.
After a brief chat she told me, that she had no problem with the mod itself, but it became somewhat widespread and that was not very pleasant to her since she started to worry that people would think she recreated the mod and not the other way. 2021-01-14 13:40:48 +0000 UTC View Post
Here it is,
Falka Armor 1.5-beta featuring the Saskia Retexture clean/shiny and dirty/worn versions.
The package lacks the crafting recipies for Saskia. I'll add them later.
Works both for UNP and CBBE. Do not hesitate to report of anything is wrong with the package.
Enjoy!

I just finished adding some really little details to the new retex like a new look of the raven brooches and refining the normal bumps here and there. I also played with clean/dirty versions. In the pics you can see the clean and shiny one :)
The early access is planned for tomorrow :)

Did some first screen tests with Falka to Saskia retex. I'm quite happy with it, especially that I managed to change the armor's appearance pretty much. Even the belts look a bit different than originally :D It was fun to do :)
I think I'll do some small tweaks and we'll be ready to do an early access for Habsburgs :)
Stay well guys.

Moving on with turning Falka to Saskia. I put some dirt on the brigandine and liked it :D Also designed the breastplate basing on Saskia's set.
I'll be doing a bit more details and more wear here and there.
I'm also thinking of doing a clean/shiny and dirty/worn versions. What do you guys think?

Hello Habsburgs and Bourbons,

Unfortunately my mods have to be converted to the remaining body shapes by others.

A quick update. The bodice is beginning to look :) I'm doing all the small details by hand to get a fully non repetitive pattern. It takes ages but I hope the effect is worth it.
Once the pattern is finished there will be time for some more seams wears and scratches and we'll be ready to move on to weight-painting.
