Blade & Soul - Inferno (Jin Outfit) Mod

This week, we have a mod request for a special type of outfit for the Jin race. The reason it is special is because this outfit cannot be bought from anywhere in game or even from the online Hongmoon store. It is only accessible to players who are members of a clan, that satisfies a certain requirement (such as rank), and have this design available. Furthermore, to start crafting this outfit, the clan workshop needs to gather all the necessary items (designs, materials and gold), donated by clan members. The outfit comes with an accessory that looks like a pair of bat wings.

We can only occasionally see players proudly wearing this clan outfit since it is not easily obtainable. On top of that, the clan leader has to select this design to be applied to the clan outfit instead of another design. The other difficult part is... well, the clan leader gets to decide who can own the clan outfit, so you better have a good relation with your clan leader.

Sadly, I am not lucky enough to be in one of those clans so I can only show the outfit through the in-game Showroom. 😥

I can understand why the viewer particularly asked for a Jin mod and I think you can relate too if you compare the outfit for the three races below. 😞

Jin                                     Gon                                  Yun
Is there something missing on the Jin outfit?

Jin                                     Gon                                  Yun
I am sure there must be something missing. 😟

Jin                                     Gon                                  Yun
Gon gets a sexy bikini top, and Yun shows off their left thigh and side torso. But Jin has the most protection which covers the entire body with only the head being flesh. Ha, now I know what is missing on the Jin outfit. 😞 Indeed, as we can see on the Mask file, there is totally no red color code (define skin layer). 😶 So, I guess my main goal for this mod is to add some flesh to the outfit. 😆

Fortunately for us, most of the areas of the outfit is tight fitting and allow us a number of choices of areas that can be repainted to skin. The unfortunate part is that the most important area, the cleavage, is a flat surface and thus cannot be repainted to skin. 😦

Let us now take a closer look at the Jin Inferno below.

Front Close-up View - Original Outfit
Does the original outfit looks like a diving suit decorated with accessories? 😆

Rear Close-up View - Original Outfit
Can you identify those areas that can be repainted to skin?

Side Close-up View - Original Outfit
What would this view looks like if repainted to skin? 😆

With the cleavage off-limit, I guess I can turn the torso region into a sport bra design but I decided to mod it into something like the Yun version but with a little more flesh. 😝

Check out the mod version below.

Front View - Modified Outfit
The left thigh is modified to be like the Yun version but the uneven surfaces cannot be simply repainted to skin, else it would look weird.

Rear View - Modified Outfit
The back is nearly fully bare with a spine-like structure connecting the neck and pants portion.

Rear Close-up View - Modified Outfit
The right thigh has much more uneven surfaces so I feel there is no point in repainting that little area to skin. 😅

Left Side View - Modified Outfit


Right Side Close-up View - Modified Outfit
I questioned earlier how the right view would look like and the answer is here. Hope that does not cause players to start running their characters side way. 😆

Well, that is all for this mod. Since I do not have the outfit to make a music video I make a creation video instead. The difference between this video and the previous creation video is that it focused on modifying tight fitting areas into skin, while the previous one demonstrated the general creation process.
