For the second post of the new year, I shall mod a Jin outfit call the Transcendence. Those who play Blade & Soul, from the very beginning, will probably know that this is a rare outfit from the Master Founder's pack, sold to players who supported the game right from its launch in NA. It was also placed on limited time sale, on the online Hongmoon store, some time in 2017.
The outfit is mostly white with red linings and decorations. Since it is a sold outfit, the Transcendence is designed to give each race its worth. Other than the red shoulder guards, arm guard and pendant hanging at the waist, the outfit looks different, on the whole, for each race; while maintaining the basic design, that players can easily recognize that they are from the same family.
But as usual, Gon received the most love and is given the hottest design. Check out the comparison below and you will see what I mean. 😅

| Jin Gon Yun |
The Gon race gets the most 'open' two piece design while Yun gets to be the most conservative. 😅
Both Jin and Yun sports a pair of silky white stockings while Gon only has a thigh band on the left thigh.

As seen in the above image, both Jin and Yun outfits shared the same rear design for the top half of the dress, but Yun's has an extension to the bottom of the dress.

The side for all three outfits look almost identical except for the stockings and length of the dress.
The three outfits incredibly demonstrates each race's characteristic. With the mini-skirt matching the cheeky nature of Jin, long robe showing the elegance of the Yun and 'openness' displaying the Gon's energetic characteristic.
Although the three outfits give a different feel for the race, if we look closely at the Jin and Yun outfits, we can say that the Yun outfit is basically the Jin outfit with an extended dress? 😆
But of course, the mesh and texture can't just be simply duplicated as I have mentioned before.
The reason why I choose to mod my Jin Transcendence is because being a Jin, I'm jealous of the Gon's 'openness' and so I decided to mod the Jin outfit similar to that of the Gon's version. 😆
So, let's get started by taking a closer look at the original Jin outfit below.

As mentioned earlier, my intention for this mod is to make the Jin outfit similar to that of the Gon. So I started off by opening a hole in the tummy area, by repainting the white silky cloth to skin layer, and then stretching it all the way to the back. In addition, I shortened the mini-skirt a little and mod both the stockings and arm guards to give them some translucent feel.
Let's check out the mod outfit below, shall we?

| Front View - Modified Outfit |
In the top image, we can see the tummy area is now skin and the stockings are translucent.

The arm guards appear to look like skin when not under direct light.

| Rear View - Modified Outfit |

| Left Side Close-up View - Modified Outfit |
In the left side image, we can see how the skin at the tummy area wraps round to the back.

| Right Side View - Modified Outfit |
The skin at tummy area is not extended to the right side because the region where the front and rear meshes meet is stretched differently so anything drawn across this region will become distorted. As such, it is better to just leave it as it is, in simple plain color. 😦
So, the final mod has a similar exposed tummy like the Gon version but the stockings remain and the skirt gets shortened instead of lengthened like the rear side of Gon's. 😅
That's about it for this mod.

ReplyDeleteDo you do anything with the mods you make? Like post them or sell?
ReplyDeleteAlso do you have a tutorial on how you make some of these?
Hi, I don't sell them because the un-mod versions are afterall NCSoft's material even if I did mod them. I do it for myself and share the mods to others if they want and hope some generous folks can support the effort through donation 😄. I normally put the mods up at https://aionskinmod.blogspot.sg/p/links-for-blade-soul-skin-mods.html if someone ask for them. You can check out undertow.club if you are interested in learning to mod but, just as a warning, the site contains some adult materials.
Deletei really like the mod, can you put it on so people can download it too,tks
ReplyDeleteThank you 😄 I will put it up on the download page when it is ready.
