Greetings dear humans!
Today and yesterday were important days for the upcoming Radiant Denia Mod. Great progress have been made and she's already starting to look very satisfying to watch! I created this post to reassure all of you that I'm at 100% full power on the task and everything is going well so far. I believe I'm now finished with the hardest part of the mod or at least I hope so. It's still very tough for me to find the required hours but don't worry, I don't do "sloppy" and delays should be acceptable compared to my other releases! (should be 1 week from now max, least could be 4 days) Now I'll list you what has been done so far in 28 hours of work :
Finding the mod main concepts, etablishing new color palettes/harmony
3D-mesh modifications & building (hardest!)
Creating mods for her base form, her liberation form
Adjusting weight and animations hooks (solving any clipping issues)
Setting new UVMAPS
Correcting and re-formating normalmaps, stereomaps, materials, speculars and shaders (total of 8-16 layers per component, done only for her base form)
Her default "radiant" textures are finished. (meaning her base form is already ready!)
Having an idea of the number of toggles and their nature
The work that remains :
Creating all her liberation form's radiant new textures. (30% of her base form's textures will be used to create this liberation state so fairly faster)
Creating a mod only for the menu display (this sucks and I will loose a lot of time in here! Like Zani and Calcharo, this menu asset is completely different from the world one and require all 3D edits to be ported/vertex re-weighted one by one... A bad news, Hiyuki didn't have that.)
Covering her forte mage staff (very fast, I won't change much of it)
Correcting new alpha maps and confirm shaders final states (Doing in last to findthe right final shadows)
Creating all her possible toggles' new textures (optional hair, eyes, sub-color : the funniest part!)
Coding all toggles to the perfection
Creating an "express lock" (first official one to ever be release in my mods!)
Creating potential roll-back to vanilla options (legs will be tricky...)
Creatings posts and visuals (the thing I hate to do coz it always takes ages)
Still a big pile on my plate but I'm slowly getting there. Like always this will be all worth it! Oh and be reassured that this post's picture is absolutely NOT depicting my mod in any way. Take care my furless ones!
