Blade & Soul - Dreamcatcher (Jin/Yun Outfit) Mod

In this week's post, we will be looking at two mods, namely the Jin and Yun Dreamcatcher. I had done the Gon version two months back and just last week, a patron requested for the other two races. The patron also promised a donation so I took the bait. 😆

The information about the outfit has already been provided in the Gon post so I will not go into those again. But just for information, this outfit's appearance is the same for all three races. The position of the costume portion in the textures are exactly aligned and that is why I can make two mods in a go, by copy and paste. However, the skin portion are distinct for each race, so I will still need to separately remove the shadows on the Jin skin texture. Fortunately, the Yun skin texture does not have shadows. 😅

Another difference that I found on the Yun texture is that the mesh structure for the breasts are intact, unlike for the Gon and Jin. This means that the Yun version can probably go topless. 😲 But how that will turn out still have to depends on the shape of the mesh (i.e. some are compressed to a side or right out flattened so as to be able to remain under the costume, no matter how bombastic or weird the shape player tries to customize them. 😅 )

I wanted to do something to the area which surrounds the Yun's upper torso portion, but the same card structure which I mentioned in the Gon's post prevented my idea. In simple terms, the whole stretch that made up the part of the costume that wraps around the upper torso, is actually made up of only two vertical cards. So my two options are to either totally remove them or keep them intact. I chose the latter. 😥

Let us view the two original outfits in the images below, with Jin on the left and Yun on the right.

Same design verified. Same cloth cutting leg verified too! 😆

The turquoise region wrapping around the upper torso is made up of just two vertical cards.

Pieces of  white cloth extends from below the dress.

The red cloak looks similar but while the Jin one is flatly opened, the Yun one is crumbled towards the center.

Since the patron did not specify any other thing, I decided to mod the Jin and Yun outfit similar to the Gon mod.

As a recap, the dress and red cloak were trimmed and the embroidered lotus patterns were shifted accordingly. The pieces of cloth below the dress, the trinket at the back and the portion below the front butterfly knot also had to be removed to match the mod.

In addition, the shadows on the skin texture of the Jin need to be erased as well.

The images above show the outfits after the dress has been trimmed.

Rear View - Modified Outfit 

The trinket attached to the bottom right of the dress had to be removed since that portion of the dress, that it was attached to, has been removed.

What is left of the red cloak can be seen on the neck. I had tried several variations for the cloak when I was making the Gon mod, but none seems good enough so I trimmed it down to leave only the neck portion. 😓

Similar to the Gon texture, the skin portion for the Jin and Yun only took up around 6 percent of the total texture. So we can expect the skin to have less details and looks stretched in some area. 😥

This brings us to the closure of the Dreamcatcher mods for the three races. You can watch the video to get a better idea of the mod outfit. Sadly, I do not own this outfit on any of my characters so I can only capture the outfit in the in-game Tailorshop. 😥
