I don't plan on adding more colours, but this mod by Nekomata17 adds a few more colour variants of my retexture (Green, Pink, Red, Royal Blue, Silver, and Yellow). The file for just these colours only is in the optional files section.
And do you know if it's possible to remove the pauldrons? I tried using Outfit Studio but I got lost really quickly and since I have zero knowledge with photoshop I also hit a wall there. I really want it to look like the vanilla counterpart. If I could I would even edit the boots to be like the steel variant XD
Thanks! It wouldn’t be too hard, but I intended the set to have pauldrons, so there are baked-in shadows under it, which would look weird without them. but if you really want to do it, you could open the vanilla no-pauldron steel chest and copy-paste the settings from my .nif files (the texture paths, shader settings, etc.) and then overwrite my .nif files. or just make an alpha map for the diffuse texture where the pauldrons are fully black.
Do you have plans to retexture this mod too? The replace is nice but i think need improve especially texture https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/54211
Great Job! I have one of my followers in this getup and he looks so good now. Looks more gritty and real. Although the styling is so awesome I still loved it regardless. Now its so well put together though, thanks to you!
I just have to ask... What is that thing clipping through the chest plate's center, near the base of the neck? Were you wearing some kind of amulet when taking the screens? I don't see how that's an intentional feature of the armour. I'd use it instantly but those two bits there look completely out of place.
Edit - Is it perhaps the base of the hood, folded, clipping through the chest piece? If so perhaps make the hood shorter?
It's the base of the hood. But this is a retexture mod... I did not make this armour. Any clipping issues should be brought up to the original creator of the armour: Witchplate Armor Set
I don’t think so. I feel like more talented people have made retextures for most vanilla armours. That’s why I try to stick to retexturing mods that no one ever touched
Yes, they would need to be patched (all except the hood meshes). If you have a link to whichever conversion you are using, I can try contacting the mod author. Until then, you can open my meshes and copy the shader settings to your meshes (I changed the shader from Glow to Environment, changed the glossiness, specular strength, turned the emissive down to 0, and added the texture path to my _M maps). You can also just copy-paste the whole BSLightingShaderProperty Branch from my meshes to yours

Regardless, thank you for your hard work!

Are you gonna touch some vanilla armors in the future?

Also: Do the meshes need to be patched for HIMBO and CBBE?

When I'm done, I'm gonna send you the files, so you can post them as part of your mod (test them first, of course).
