I'll bet you will be really glad to have that dissertation over and done with mirrored. That kind of research and writing is a lot of work.

New Stuff
I have some new armour, one is rigged one is still a WIP
Image shack is down, I guess I will post the shots later.
Edit: Image shack is still down, I will post the pics tomorrow.

Thanks for the update Corthian. :goodjob:

Imageshack is up so here they are.

The first one is supposed to be a common type of armour where as the second one is supposed to be more uncommon. The second one is still a WIP and the first one already has a female version.

Excellent armor!
Both are quite nice but if I had to pick one, it would be the second. The colors are top-notch and it looks nice and light; as it should.
I look forward to seeing them in game...

I am not thrilled by how the armour skirt came out, I am considering redoing it...
- DIE 75 - 05-15-2007
The armored skirt doesn't look bad at all. It could stand to be a bit longer as most of the samurai armor I've seen (but not all) has the skirt nearly come down knees but the plates are placed correctly and the silk underneath looks very nice.
Here are a few pics of the longer samurai armored skirt length:

(Pictures are a little goofy but you understand)
The Armor I'm using now has the same length as the one you posted:

The armored skirt does not look bad at all, but if you think you can make it look even better, go for it! :]
- Corthian - 05-15-2007
The armour is in game, and deforms very well. There are problems with the skirt which I have deemed impossible to fix, the skeleton doesn't allow for skirts, even Vanilla skirts deform horribly. I made female version. I originally wanted to use the default white kimono but on a whim I changed it, it makes all the difference.

More Armour, based on the other one hence the same clothes

Kinda looks dwemeri, what color hakama/kimono?
- Kodama - 05-15-2007
A Tatami-do, nice! :goodjob:
The color of the hakama can be almost anything, i suggest you find some samurai pictures for good ideas.
Can you show us an in-game picture of the armor?
The sleeves of the armor should also be armored, what you have now are han-gote (half armored sleeves) it's not wrong or anything, but it would be nice to have kote like this (scroll down, bottom left picture) http://www.toraba.com/rgusoku-0601-0101.htm
Or this picture:

EDIT: I hope you can make the armored sleeves, they will allow me to give the armor a better protection rating in-game, the sleeves are made of chainmail and steel plates.
If you will make them, the color and patterns of the shirt could be used for the hakama instead
