Here is a little detective story: This armor is made of three existing armors and it has one texture which is a combination of textures from all three of these armors. I wanted to upgrade that texture to 4096x4096 so needed to find these original armors with better resolution textures for them. First two were easy. They are T-51b and T-45d power armors and Strider5 has made beatiful new textures to make them better. But where does the waist area come from? Looking at it a while it was obvious that it looks like a medieval armor piece. It also looked familiar. So would it be taken from Skyrim or Oblivion? Some googling later found it on Enderal armors as an armor called Selna. So it must have been used in Skyrim... More searching through Skyrim mods showed that it has been used in few Skyrim mods and also gave the final answer of origin. Armor is originally from Witcher 2 and is drawn by polish artist Marcin Blaszczak: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/4e/3b/b0/4e3bb0b6f31b9be6c89a8bc8d83e5b31.jpg
How many other armor pieces have visited Temeria, Skyrim, Enderal and Portsmouth in 4 different games? I still don't know who did this combined model for frontier. So if anyone knows please tell me.
Hi, could i request (optional) White or Winterrized versions? Since the faction is called the Crusaders, it would fit better with theme of Crusaders/Templars..... maybe something like in the picture, with only the chest and the added armor parts below the chest, in white/winterrized....
Originally only the gold stripes on her armour were environment mapped with gold type cubemap. They still didn't look so impressive. I made them just more shiny than the already shiny metal so that they stand out in light.
Doing it with cubemaps could give a more gold like look if done right. Will have to play with it at some point.
But why can't you play Frontier? I think playing through in Crusader faction is worth it. You get three really nice power armors and there is no space stuff.
Maybe you can try reducing the draw distance in the settings, it works for me with my potato laptop even with over 50 mods. No graphic enhancer mod tho.
imo a shame the Demon Crusher power armor has that thing attached on the back (power pack I think?) Clips through weapons lol, maybe it's possible for someone to remodel it?
Nothing much that would affect Frontier characters. Type4 body for female and zzjays skin textures but I think frontier faces are separated. Hmm... Not sure...Frontier has surprisingly good characters with few exceptions. This one I have installed: https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/55174 Donovan is the coolest follower. I give him biggest baddest power armors and few minutes later he is walking around with beanie on his head and backpack on top of the armor...
I think FOV was changed taking some of the pics. That is why armors look a little wide and short.
It is like 2k because one 4k texture includes all three textures + helmet. Original texture was 2k, so gives double the resolution. The 51b shoulders are still not good because they are so small in the texture file.

Any plans on retexturing the demon-crusher and enclave cosmic/cryo armors?
I think Demon Crusher is pretty good as it is.
