Blade & Soul - Enchanting Temptress (Yun Outfit) Mod

It has been like two months since I posted the Gon Seductress and its sister outfits; and finally a viewer requested for the Yun version. Soon after, another viewer requested for the Jin and Gon Enchanting Temptress. If you have followed my blog so far, you will probably know that I have done mod on the Seductress, Temptress and Enchanting Seductress. The only sister outfit that I left out is the Enchanting Temptress (excluding the Pure Seductress). With these requests, I guess I will just take the opportunity to complete the Enchanting Temptress for Jin and Gon, plus all four outfits for Yun. However, this post will only focus on the Yun Enchanting Temptress since they look quite similar. I have also included the Gon and Jin Enchanting Temptress in the video at the end of this post.

To be honest, I had already done the Yun Enchanting Temptress a long time back, even before I started on the Gon version. I chose the Enchanting Temptress at that time because I had already mod the Jin Enchanting Seductress and I wanted to see how it looks on the Enchanting Temptress. However, I did not post it because it does not look particularly nice on my character (you will get to see why in the images below 😦 ). But since a viewer wanted the mod, I figure I will just share it because it may look good on slim character.

In simple explanation, the four outfits (for Yun), which should be tight fitting, seem a size larger than my character's body. Thus, when the cloth region is recolored to skin layer, it gives an equally odd feel.

Let us take a look at the original outfit below and see if you agree. 

Front View - Original Outfit

Somehow, I find that the thighs look thicker than what I have customized.

The lower torso region also looks a bit off.

That thigh-to-arm thickness ratio seems exaggerated. Did I really made this or is it an optical illusion? 😰

Right Side Close-up View - Original Outfit

Due to the perceived larger body size, I had to retain the cloth at certain region to soothe the separation between the skin layer and cloth. These regions include the tummy region and the area below the arm pit.

So, without further delay, let's see what the mod looks like below.

Front View - Modified Outfit

Do you see the contrast in size between the torso and hip-leg after the areas are recolored to skin? 😰

The tummy region is retained but I recolored it to leopard spots. I only did so for the Enchanting Temptress though. The other three outfits still have the original texture.

The rear view still looks ok I guess. 😥

But something feels off near the chest in the side view.

Overall, I am not quite satisfied with how the mod looks on my character. Hope it will look better on others though. 😥

Check out the video for the Enchanting Temptress for all three races (Gon, Jin and Yun). Since I do not have the outfits, I used the in-game Tailor Shop to show case the mods. Enjoy!

Blade & Soul - Seductress/Temptress/Enchanting Seductress (Gon Outfit) Mod

After filling a string of requests for Jin and Yun outfit mods, finally one viewer asked for Gon. Since I have been mod-ding Yun and Jin outfits for the last few posts, I guess I should show some Gon love in this week's post.  😅

But comparing the number of requests for the three races, Gon significantly has less. Does this translates to the lower number of players having a Gon character? Or maybe because Gon always get the hottest outfits out of the three races? Well... I cannot be sure of that but I had occasionally seen players complaining about their Gon female characters having strange standing pose, causing them to look slightly deformed. Having played characters from each race, I do agree with their opinions. 😅 But then again, the virtual world of Blade & Soul is not of our human world, so certain level of ambiguity should be allowed, like the Lyn race.

Moreover, the designers of the game tried to give each race their own characteristics. While the Jin mimics the human race (except for their exaggerated hip size 😂 ), the Gon is given powerful features to engage players who likes their avatars to be strong and wild, and the Yun to attract players who likes their avatars to be more feminine and elegant. Unfortunately, the creators might have taken those unique qualities and applied them into the standing pose to a level that the characters look slightly deformed. 😓

For one, I have not heard of players complaining about their male characters being deformed. Maybe because male characters of each race are not given those exaggerated poses. 😆 Also, I contemplate that as human players, we like the characters to behave and match more closely to a real human, while at the same time achieving what we want in our avatar (i.e. stronger like a Gon or more elegant like a Yun).

So the developer may be better off having those over exaggerated poses corrected to look more human so as not to cause any deformation. After all, I think a normalized pose would be sufficient to convey the unique characteristics of the race, isn't it? 😅

Looks like I have gone off topic so let us turn our focus back to the mod.

In case you have forgotten, I had made a mod for the Enchanting Seductress outfit for Jin race before but I did not include the Seductress or Temptress outfits back then. So in this post, I will focus on the two main sister outfits and leave out the Enchanting series since these outfits look exactly the same on all races. Not to mention that I do not have the enchanting series...  😭

Since you can read all about where and how to get these outfits in the previous post, let us dive straight into the original Temptress and Seductress below. First up, the Temptress outfit.

Front View - Original Temptress Outfit

The main series are full black in color unlike the enchanting series which include stripes or spots. Also, we can see the nettings, that run from under the arm to the ankle, on the sides.

The difference between the Seductress and Temptress is the arm guard and the leg straps.

Right Side Close-up View - Original Temptress Outfit

We can see the arm guard on the right arm for the Temptress.

Let us now check out the original Seductress outfit below.

Hmm... Does that standing pose looks a little awkward?  😅

Front View - Original Seductress Outfit

Comparing to the Temptress, the Seductress outfit has two straps on the upper left thigh and tiny spikes below them.

Rear View - Original Seductress Outfit

Also, the arm guard on the right arm is not present in the Seductress outfit.

Side View - Original Seductress Outfit

The reason why I can complete three outfits in such a short time is because the Seductress and Temptress outfits actually sit in the same texture files. So I actually mod-ed the Seductress and Temptress at one go. After finishing, I can simply duplicate it to the Enchanting Seductress since they have similar 3D models.

For the mods, I tried to apply the same concept from the Jin Enchanting Seductress. That is to turn the full body outfit into a swim suit style. 😅 However, not everything can be done the same because the Jin and Gon 3D models have some differences.

For the Gon model, the tummy area is significantly 'floating' above the skin layer and thus, I cannot re-paint that area into skin color like I did for the Jin. 😓

Let's take a look at the Seductress mod below.

Front View - Modified Seductress Outfit

The mod looks very similar to the Jin mod except for the tummy area, which is still covered due to the constraint that I mentioned earlier.

Now, we can have the great view of the hip and leggy legs just like in the Jin mod 😍 .

If you had used the Jin mod, you would also notice that there is no tan lines on the Gon mod.  😆

Let's now compare to the modified Temptress below.

Front View - Modified Temptress Outfit

Looks similar to the Seductress but no leg straps.

The arm guard is still up on the right arm though.

Eagle- eyed viewers may be able to notice the tiny spots, that float in front of the lower left leg, on the Seductress. That is an issue that I cannot figure out as of now, except knowing that they are artefacts left behind by the tiny spikes that I had removed. 😰

Well, with that we reach the end of this post. Catch the video below and keep an eye out for the next post.

Blade & Soul - Enchanting Seductress (Jin Outfit) Mod

For the third Blade & Soul skin mod, I'll be touching on one of the earliest outfits which I have modified. This outfit is also shown in one of my initial videos involving "The Shattered Mast" dungeon. But due to the short length and quick movement in the video, viewers probably can't get a detail look at it. So, I made a separate video and also takes the opportunity to describe the modifications that I have done on the outfit. This outfit is a sister to four other outfits (Seductress, Temptress, Enchanting Temptress and Pure White Seductress) which are also worn by the two NPCs - Scarlet and Cobalt Widows. The version worn by the widows can be seen more clearly in my other video here. However, I prefer the Enchanting Seductress mainly because of the stripes on it.   😆

The first four outfits can be bought, from NPCs in Moonwater plains, using tickets that dropped off the twins in "Night Shade Harbor" open world dungeon and "Blood Shade Harbor" party dungeon. The Pure White Seductress, however, is a special event outfit. You can check the image below for the five outfits. They are mostly identical with a difference in cover nettings, texture and accessories such as shoulder cap and leg straps.

From the first on the left, we have the Enchanting Seductress followed by Seductress, Temptress, Enchanting Temptress and finally the Pure White Seductress.

Seductress and Temptress Outfits

If you examine them closely, you can see that Seductress series have leg straps on the left thigh, while the Temptress series have shoulder guard on the right arm. Similarly, the Enchanting series comes with stripes and spots, while the primary series comes in full black. The Pure White Seductress, though, is the Seductress in pure white (as the name implies) and have the nettings on the cleavage and sides removed.

Let's take a closer look at the original Enchanting Seductress below.

Do you agree that the stripes make the outfit that much wilder?  😄

But what's that netting doing over the cleavage area?  😑

Rear View - Original Outfit

Tail! My new favorite!  😍

More nettings on the side of torso and legs...   😑

So, are you seduced by this outfit yet? If not, check out the modified outfit below.

Front View - Modified Outfit

Well... As you can see, most of the materials have disappeared and are replaced by skin layer.  😅

That netting over the cleavage area is also gone.  😍

Those tan lines on the thighs are actually artefacts due to me doing color matching, but they look surprisingly pretty and so I left them.   😝

The final modified outfit looks more like a sexy swim wear but is it seductive enough for you?   😆

Eagle-eyed viewers may notice the color difference between the shoulder-arm area and the rest of her body. Well... you are right, that's something which I overlooked and left untouched. Although I did made right those on the widows' outfit.  😥 

[Updated] Finally take the time to fix the color difference and placed the download link below.  😅
