About this image

After a loooooong break, work is finally restarted on the retextures for Imperial heavy armour. There's more weathering effects, and some glossiness, and Gauntlets and Boots are now done. I will be doing Helmets and Swords next.

I'm going in a different direction now with the female armour, as you can see. I'm using "Practical Female Armours" by JZBai, because personally I feel like the female armour should be more similar to the male one (because it's a uniform, after all), and I really like the way it looks.

So, this makes two benefits: The armour is more uniform (which I think is more realistic) and also I don't have to worry so much about battling with the vanilla female armour (which has a very confusing and distorted UV mapping) which means less work. Of course, if I release it, I will make sure to ask permission to use this great mesh from JZBai.

As always, I'm very eager to hear opinions!

Unfortunately, work has been suspended on this project indefinitely. Sadly there are no longer plans to release these textures for the foreseeable future.

    I was begining to think you gave up! It looks great but I'd prefer it to have the standard female armor look. Though I do understand that is a lot of work. Maybe you could release it as an optional file? Really like how its coming along

      That was actually my plan to have the vanilla female be an option file. I think (provided that I can get permission to use this mesh) I will release it first in this form, and the vanilla female (which will likely take a while to perfect) will be released later.

      Currently, all the armours (including this one) now have sleeves and pants as well, so I will also include a version without sleeves/pants for those that prefer it.
