Blade & Soul - Scarlet Empire (Jin/Yun Outfit) Mod

As some of you may know, my laptop charger blew up on me just last week. Sadly for me, my laptop is a six years old model and the OEM does not manufacture or keep stock for the charger anymore. It took me some time to source for a replacement from a second hand dealer. That is why this post is late.

Hopefully, my laptop does not blow up on me next, else I will probably have to stop this blog and mod-ding until I can afford to get a new one. 😟

Well... That is enough of venting so let us get back into the mod.

Earlier in July, I made and posted the Gon Scarlet Empire after a patron requested for it. I modified the front and tail cloth by trimming and giving them a laced pattern, plus modified the under boob areas to skin color since they follows the correct curvature. But it seems the patron actually only wanted the front and tail cloth removed. 😅

Fortunately my work is not wasted as another patron had asked for that first version for the Jin and Yun race.

Replacing the front and tail cloth can be easily achieved by copying and pasting from the Gon mod. The retexturing of the under boob areas took a little more time because the rugged surface starts and ends at different area for all three races. But since I already know the layout of that area, through the Gon mod, it can be easily adjusted for each race. As such, in this week's mod, we will get to see both the Jin and Yun Scarlet Empire.

Since the outfit is exactly the same for all three races and all the details have already been mentioned in the Gon Scarlet Empire post, we will dive straight into the outfit.

First, let's view the original Jin and Yun Scarlet Empire below, with the Yun version on the left side and Jin on the right side.

Front View - Original Outfit

If we compare the Jin and Yun above to the Gon version earlier, we can see that it has the same appearance for all three races.

Oh! I just realized that I can sort the in-game Tailorshop to show all outfits that cannot be customized, so I used the Scarlet Empire's hair here. The default setting is to show only customizable outfits so I am always missing stuff on the list. 😅

Rear View - Original Outfit

Notice how the Yun version notoriously shows the front and tail cloth cutting into the legs but not so much on the Jin.

Side View - Original Outfit

The rugged areas on the clothes just below the breast level are slightly shifted for the three races, so the area to be recolored has to be adjusted accordingly. Of course, that also includes the difference in skin tone.

My aim for the Jin and Yun mods is to make replicates of the Gon mod. However, I noticed that the mesh structure of the breasts actually exist, under the cloth, for the Yun outfit. So I initially tried to modified the cloth into a lace layer that reveals the under boobs beneath it. Unfortunately, the entire region directly below the breasts is missing, and that missing region extends all the way to the back. 😧 In the end, I still has to make it similar to the Gon mod.

Let us take a look at the Jin and Yun modified Scarlet Empire, side by side, in the images below.

Although I indicated that the stockings has been recolored to skin, it is actually reflecting a red-orange shine.

The front cloth has been trimmed and given a lace texture.

Rear View - Modified Outfit

The same goes for the tail cloth but there are larger holes on it.

Side View - Modified Outfit

Comparing the top and bottom images, we can see how the cloth has been adjusted at the side of the breasts. This is due to the rugged surfaces that I had mentioned earlier.

This brings us to the end of this post. Catch the video below to get a better view of the mods. The video is made using the in-game Tailorshop since I am not in a powerful clans, that have lready beaten the new raid dungeon, like the requestors of these mods. And thus, do not have these outfits. 😞
