Hey Brig, glad to see you're back as well, or at least back to wrangling stuff in Nifskope. I recently made an attempt (hahaha) to fix some stuff in an outfit an discovered that I had completely forgotten how to do many things that I used to do using nifskope, and then spending hours trying to look up stuff online to make the changes I wanted. Kind of shocked me that I had forgotten so much. As for the canteen, would it be possible to scootch it over a bit so it is on her back hip, behind her holster so it isn't interfering with her draw or clipping with her hand? Not sure if it is a separate mesh, or part of the mesh of the belt itself, which is always annoying to deal with I know, but just a thought.
Yes, you're on to something with the canteen placement, Bernt was wondering if it would interfere with draw clearance too. I don't want to put on her back, but that really might be the best solution outside of replacing with something else (I'm now pondering a waterskin on its own sling instead). It is a separate block, which makes things easier, though I did just teach myself how to separate verts into new blocks in both Blender and Outfit Studio this time around. I'm very glad that I made tutorial videos for questions folks would ask me over the years; I wish I had made more.
The middle of the spots in red circles are where you can see the inside of her shirt or armor. Since the models are "flat", in that they don't have an inside face, we see the lack of something there - kind of like being on the other side of a one way mirror. Compare to the last image in the set, looking at where the shirt ends on her right/our left, you can see the inside of the shirt and the light even hits the inside differently than the outside.
As for the canteen - Yeah, that occurred to me too, but if I move it up to the other belt I suspect it would likely do uncomfortable things during some animations and poses. If I move it back it will clip through her hand when she's at rest. My initial thought was for it to be a hip flask, but water just seems infinitely more practical for her battledress. Hmmm, I think there's a wearable waterskin in the Courier's Cache mod. I'm going to have to look into that if I remember.
Thanks Bernt!
