DAI Frosty Editor - Changing Tint via EquipItemAsset

This tutorial shows how to change the materials which determine which colour/tint is used in game on outfits. I use the Unequipped outfit as a base. This is done via editing the EquipItemAsset files. No textures are touched.

DAI Frosty Editing ItemPartAppearance or EquipItemAssets

Sorry for the way the video is cropped, my video editor stopped working so I had to use windows video editor which doesn't like resolutions above 1920*1080 and sorry for it stop and starting, had problems today so had to record, stop, record, stop until I was finished.

Tutorial on how to swap one armour to another using the ItemPartAppearance file types or the EquipItemAssetsThis is the method best used when creating swaps for armours outside Skyhold for companions and/or the Inquisitor.

As the other method is editing the AppearanceMeshSet but that method requires bundle editing, and is best
used for their Skyhold/Haven Unequipped Outfits

So this method I am showing today, is best used for outside Skyhold/Haven as you do not then need to edit all
of the Description_Win32 files which you would need to edit if you was to edit a AppearanceMeshSet for an
armour that needs to be seen everywhere outside Haven and Skyhold

Information we need for ItemPartAppearance files:

0 Blackwall     1 Cassandra      2 Cole
3 Dorian   4 Vivienne   5 Sera
6 Solas    7 IronBull    8 Varric

9 Female Rogue Human 19 Female Warrior Human   26 Female Mage Human
10 Male Rogue Human    23 Male Warrior Human        29 Male Mage Human

11 Female Rogue Elf      18 Female Warrior Elf 25 Female Mage Elf
14 Male Rogue Elf 22 Male Warrior Elf      28 Male Mage Elf

12 Female Rogue Dwarf 17 Female Warrior Dwarf
15 Male Rogue Dwarf     21 Male Warrior Dwarf

13 Female Rogue Qunari  20 Female Warrior Qunari 27 Female Mage Qunari
16 Male Rogue Qunari       24 Male Warrior Qunari       30 Male Mage Qunari

These are the numbers they come under. I didn't do the Inquisitor ones
in number order as for me personally I find this easier to follow.

The Information under Appearance ID is broken down into these however
with the above you shouldn't need them, but in case you want to double
check you have them right here they are;

PartyMemberID:
0 Inquisitor
1 Cassandra 2 Sera 3 Dorian 4 Blackwall 5 Cole 6 Vivienne 7 Solas 8 Varric 9 Ironbull

Gender:
1 Male 2 Female (Listed as 0 under Companions)

PartyMemberClassTypeID :
1 Warrior 2 Rogue 3 Mage (Listed as 4 under companions)

ItemRaceID :
0 Human 1 Elf 2 Dwarf 3 Qunari (Listed as 0 under Companions)

DAI Mod Maker Blender Hair Mesh Edit

This tutorial shows you how to edit hairs/meshes from Dragon Age Inquisition so you can make hair mods. This tutorial shows you how to do it in Blender. It also shows how to convert the hairs that are the same from one race to another. Big thank you to Aileani for their 3DS Max Tutorial as without that I couldn't have made a version for Blender. And for roberts2432 for working out that blender 2.79 actually worked for making hair mods for Inquisition and working out the import/export settings. And dmitrias and dunmr for helping me work it out. Without you three I would have thought it was still impossible.
