#redmagpie

here is a screenshot of my current project, a bonus top for the bladedancer outfit.
this will take some more effort than usually, because the was not made with "easy access" in mind.
ok, storytime.
the idea was that you open and close the armour in the back so that the weak point of the armour does not face the enemy (aside from the exposed belly ).
the problem is that you can put on the armour by yourself but it is quite cumbersome.
in later designs i have switches more to side or front openings what makes the work on the exposed bonus tops easier as well.

#redmagpie #normalmaps

the normalmaps update for the bladedancer set is now available.

ha, for a moment i was tempted to reinstall LotRO and walk to Carn Dûm again to get the old preview background.
but then lazy as i am, i have searched through my archives and have found the old screenshots, yee.

#redmagpie

currently i am working on the update for the bladedancer set.
but before i add the normal map, i will change the chainmail texture.
that picture here shows the foundation layer for the pleats and other details.
the actual texture will be projected onto it afterwards.

#redmagpie #normalmaps

the normal map update for the waylayer set is done.
now only a few texture sets are left.

another interesting thing is to review your old works after a few years.
back then it has looked nearly perfect and now i see all the small flaws.

well, you get a boobies shot anyway.

here a bonus top for the shield maid set that reveals a bit more skin.

#redmagpie #normalmaps

compared with the old version i have added a different chainmail texture and completely reworked the panty.
