I'm not setting out to create a new UV map or for any such perfection. However form some of the tests I've done I do believe I can get the skin to transition nicely (at present). I also intent to make note of such danger areas (I am already very familiar with a few of them) where things get stretched and crushed.

Basically, I'm striving to make a template more accessible to newbies so they don't have to go through these same pains we are.

If you're seriously considering taking requests, I formally request a skin for the Frost processor set

If you don't like the idea, it's fine if you deny this request.

Thanks in advance!

Here are the rainbow pants I spent all day working on!
(The two sides are tinted differently for testing purposes.)


Which allowed me to get the leg transitions almost seamless.

While there are still some odd shadows if you look hard enough, if I stopped now it'd probably still be considered a success. Still,I think I can improve them.

Her back is still kind of a mess. I'll spend more time on it once I finish her chest, which still has some odd shadows.

Not sure if I mentioned this before, but the right and left thighs are labeled incorrectly in the template because when the guy was making the UV map it seems he mixed them up and dragged them to the wrong sides.

one thing, is at 1024 x 1024 pixels? if not it wont work

It is, depending on your browser, or it might just be the site, you'll have to open it in a new tab.

Ah, gotcha. That's very nice of you.

It's looking really good nevertheless, keep it up! After all the things you have been through, I'm sure no one will say anything. I didn't notice the incorrect labels lol, guess I was too into fixing the seams to notice that.

He knows what he is doing and these are just tests anyway, the final output will be in 2048 x 2048 to match the original template. This allows creators to create higher quality costumes and then shrinking it down to 1024 to minimize quality loss and to be used ingame.

I'm fine with doing a costume for the Frost Set, in fact I plan on doing a costume for each processor set, but no promises and I'm only in ch.3 of the game, haven't purchased the Pirate Set yet too.

But what I am wondering is that do you have any preferences on the costume like say so and so's costume from this anime or that game or you want me to decide for myself, either original creation or based on something like my Inori costume?

Also, I somehow caught a high fever so it may take awhile before I can start working on it.

[Aphrah]

@Xerain: I'm sure your updated template will be of great help. I'll make sure to include it in the opening post once you finish it.

@Ke-Y: It sucks to be sick; I hope you recover quickly. I have a request for you, but I'll wait until you finish the Ice costume before I give voice to mine.

I plan on re-vamping the opening post this weekend with a FAQ, and a Tips section. I might even get around to making a video of the Part 2 costumes.

Do you think you could make a skin for the Delphinus unit?

aw.... get well soon!
If you prefer an anime preference, how about tsubasa's relic/armour from senki zesshou symphongear?

[Xerain]

This.

If someone else can't get to it I might consider it after I finish the 3 or 4 things already in queue.

Be posting another update soon once I clean this up a bit.

If you mean the English template we included in the opening post, then that would be my fault; the labels, since I didn't know how the UV map, or texturing would work.

If you mean the one on the official site... wait.. is there one on NISA's Mk2 site? xD

Thanks, and sure thing about the request.

Thanks, and that works. One thing though, I've only watched the first episode of that anime so I am wondering if her relic will change later on or it'll be the same as the first episode throughout? I've searched some images of her and it seems like there are couple of versions of her relic but I am not certain if those versions are official or fanarts so the next question I have is, is there a preferred version you have in mind? If not then I'll use the version that's in the first episode.

Do you think you could make a skin for the Delphinus unit?

I actually planned on doing it and planned on using Inori's second battle suit for it, but the second battle suit doesn't look that good so I scrapped the idea. Any preferences as to what type of costume you want to see on the Delphinus Set? Basically the same questions I've asked Ocean. If you can provide me with more info that'd be great.

Also, I will do the requests in the order I get them so as it is now, this is the current order:

1. Frost Set.
2. Aphrah's request.
3. Delphinus Set.

If you mean the English template we included in the opening post, then that would be my fault; the labels, since I didn't know how the UV map, or texturing would work.

Yeah there is an official english template released on NISA's Mk2 Site, and that's the one with the wrong label. XD

Yes, i do have a preferred version, but the relic does change after the first episode, ill put the amount of times it changes inside the spoiler below if u intend to watch the anime as well as my preferred version thanks again!

Spoiler:

the relic changes twice if i remember correctly, once three years after kanade sacrifices herself (seen in the OP) and once again in the latest episode, ep12, although u only get a glimpse of it at the end. This form would be my most preferred form, but might be difficult as it was wings-since it most likely cannot be done with the wings, the one seen in the OP would be my second preference.

I imagine it was the fault of the guy making the UV map, which lead to it being labelled incorrectly as it defies logic.

Imagine the right hand, right shoe, right arm, etc, are all on the left side of the map, and the left hand, left shoe, left leg, etc are all on the right side. However the right thigh is on the right, and the left thigh is on the left.

So if you made the labels with all the left stuff on the right and all the right stuff on the left, it is in correct because the thigh is the exception to the pattern.

Also the back is rotated as if you are facing her back.... while the upper arms are as if you are facing her from the front. So there's a whole lot of confusing "my right vs her right" stuff going on.


Gradient Meshing her back is driving me insane. I think I'm just going to use solid shapes with a blur effect for the details on it.

The OP version can be done as I can get enough references for the looks on the various parts of the relic, as for the ep12 verison, you said that there's only a glimps of it right? Then it is possible that I won't be able to do it because of the lack of resources. The wings thing is also out of the question as it can't be done. Nevertheless, looks like I got some catching up to do with that anime and see for myself.

@Xerain - I wish the guy who did the UV Map gets fired lol, how hard is it to do a nice layout of the mesh on 1 side and then duplicate it and mirror it to the other side? This makes everything symmetrical and so much easier to work with. Maybe the devs are all masochists loving to work on such messed up uv map lol..

On a side note, here's the skin tone fixed version of Darkdam's Magic the Hard Suit that he was requesting for a fix. Enjoy~
