Yay, Rydia and Shiva, soon I can die in peace.
Keep up the good work!
(And I hope I manage to study more than you ^^)

The most annoying part of messing with the .DATs is the clipping issues. Has anyone been able to figure out how we can work around this issue? I've noticed that some of OOP's DATs look like there should be problems, but end up with none. Maybe its a miss-judgement on my part, but its worth asking.

Thatis pretty much what I was looking for Phabin. But it is on a mithra character and I am looking for a Hume Male.

*Update*
More work on the Taru coat. Some embroidery added.
Playing around with the THF AF. It's staring to look very LoTR elvish. O.o But the thought is that it's going to be cloth over leather plates. I'll darken it up a bit when I'm done with the painting.
Made myself Windurstian PLD armor.^^ I'll prolly offer it for download soon, even though there're probably only a couple dozen Mithran Windurstian PLDs in all of the worlds....
I sent the Lace dresses to Phabin, so they'll be up for downloading soon!
And one last bit of good news: I got the kinks in my site worked out! Guess what I'm going to be working on this weekend.^^ I'll still be posting updates here, but once it's done, I'll have downloads there and hopefully some tutorials.
The thing is with clipping is that the clothing mesh isn't moving with the character. As an example, here's a mesh of mine who has a lot of problems.

Now, I've highlighted the places where the underlying mesh pokes through. Some of that is the way that I did the mesh, and some of that is clipping that happened with the original mesh, shown here:

When VRS is done, maybe we'll be able to attach the meshes differently so that they'll be able to move with the model better. It'll take lots of trial and error, on my part at least. ; ;
Oh, almost forgot. I got an e-mail from someone who said that she'd seen my skins on some Japanese sites. Has any one seen these? Could you post links if you have? I'm pretty curious.

Yeah, that's exactly the problems that bother me. I do alot of messing with the hair, and that's when I start to get annoyed. I've gotten around it on make faces by keeping the hair inside the original hair. Its harder on female models though. I'm hoping we'll be able to get around it after the VRS translation is done.

As a Windurstian Mithra Paladin, I humbly ask you to get that revised AF out as soon as possible! Really, the first thing I thought when I got the original set was "eww, I feel like a nasty smelly Elvaan in this all this San d'Orian gear." Even if no one else could see it, I would feel so much better wearing that set than the one I have now =)
And, by the way, all the rest of those look like they'll be great improvements as well; I'll be sure to get those avatars whenever they're ready. Great job!

Wow, it's been a while, huh? But a lot of new stuff up. Carbuncle is now downloadable, first of all. Got get him, he's my absolute favorite of the avatars so far.
Reskinned the Mithran Lizard gear. This will prolly be the next availible download. I also started on redoing the Assault Jerkin with the same kind of style.
Shiva's been adjusted somewhat. I gave her a cracked ice texture on her hands and feet. She needs a bit more detailing, but she's almost done too.

The Assault Jerkin...... WOW.
Awesome...
Awesome...
At first I wasn't really into Shiva, but the way she is looking, I will most definetly be getting that .dat. She's stunning now. I'm at a loss for words...just don't stop.
These are amazing! I'm definately going to be downloading a few as they are made available. :)
I especially like the Windurstian PLD AF - though, I think there should be some color in there (perhaps some gold/emerald in the Tree on the chest), as it looks monochromatic now.
The one I'm really looking forward to is the THF AF for Mithra. I'm a Mithra THF, and while I love the THF AF as it is now, variety is good. :) The only thing I suggest is that if you want to show skin, etc, maybe make the top a halter and have gloves that run from the fingers to mid-way up the bicep? I love the hood and mask (THFs need masks!!). :) It would be awesome if there was a way to show our ears off, though. I always imagined Mithra suffer a lot from wearing hoods and having their ears smushed and their hearing blocked. :(
Keep up the good work! I love it!

As i have said any chance posible, pleease re-skin the Rogues Bonnet and make it a bandana that will go down to eh, neck/shoulder ... like FFTactics ... o man I would love that.
Someone kindly karma-bombed this really nice thread. I tried to "fix" it, but I can't rate up. ;; I don't know why people get their jollies harrassing others, and I don't know why it won't let me rate up. :(
Just wanted to let you guys know, I'm not dead again, just buried under mountains of homework. ; ; Hopefully I'll be able to get back to this soon so that I can finish a few projects and start a few requests.
Also, I've posted done some tutorials on a couple other forums. So if you haven't seen them and want to:
http://www.ffxionline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=51128
The next tutorial will prolly be for alpha-mapping, as per majority vote.

Secondly...the not so good news. I've been having some heath problems, and that coupled with finals coming up soon, means that almost all of my skins are on hold for a while.
I know that some people have been wondering where I've been, so I thought I'd let you all know.
Hopefully, once this all gets sorted out, and/or I start getting better, I'll be able to get back up to the pace I was going at a few months ago.
I promise to try to check in occasionally, and to not to vanish entirely from the boards. ^^
