What the hell!? :eek: I just lost them again! :bitch:
Ok, i have a backup plan, i have seen concept art of this type of armor on the Void forums, it's here: http://www.void-oblivion.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=115.0
Scroll down untill you see the picture with the Hara-ate, once that you know what it looks like, you can see the pics i had here: http://parodismma.tripod.com/japarmor.html
It's the armor on the top row on the right, and the of the two pictures below it's the one on the left.
I hope that helps
:alert: EDIT: i will try to link like you said Corthian.
:alert: DELETED BROKEN LINKS
EDIT: Pffft... why can't things ever be easy? Those links don't show the pictures, oh well...

Whatever, I got the idea.

These are the Armors in game, forgot to take pictures of the female versions. The manchu armor is giving me trouble but I expected that. I might get rid of the front and back skirt plates they don't deform well.
I finished the Hata Are

I'm thinking of re skinning that one, by the way, what color?

It's a HARA-ATE, ("hara" means: belly, "ate" refers to an armor piece in this case)
What you said there was "side genitals" :lmao: (the words have more then one meaning, but this translation was the funniest)
Make sure you got the correct name for the armor in-game ok?

I like it, it looks just like the real thing :goodjob:
We could have another color for the armor in addition to the one you already have, like one with red laquered steel plates, so we will have a red armor and a black armor =)
For the lace, the red armor would look best with yellow lace.
The black armor would look great with light purple lace.
About the skirt plates that don't deform well, i feared this would happen.
When i looked at the picture i thought: would it be possible to fix the problem by making the upper part of the front skirt plate wider (the side plates would have to be adjusted accordingly), and maybe make the lower part of the front skirt plate less wide, that way it would deform so that it would look like the top and bottom of the skirt plate are the same size when in-game. (this sounds desperate, and it is).
Strange how the "blades" armor does not have the same problem, it has skirt plates, right?
Anyway, don't just remove the skirt plates... that will make me cry ;(
I like the armors in-game even with the deformation problem, but the boots will have to go, they have to be replaced with armored tabi (kogake), you can see them HERE it's the bottom left picture.
- Corthian - 05-20-2007
Hara means stomach, I knew that. Your idea on how to fix the plates will most assuredly not work, in fact it would make it worse. The Blades armor does deform same way, badly.

It does? Damn... oh well... it was just an idea

Question: Do we use both obi meshes or get rid of one?
- Kodama - 05-25-2007
The first three links don't work, but from what i've seen the textures look great :goodjob:
I can't see the backside of the obi, so i'm not sure if we should use the old and new meshes, i would have to see them both on one picture to compare them.
But if you think the new mesh is better, then it would probably be best to replace the old mesh.
- Corthian - 05-25-2007
I made boots.

I snagged them from the Poser model. The rest of the models' poly counts were far to high to use.
- Kodama - 05-25-2007
Good! :goodjob:
What about the texture?
The shin-guard looks like a type that's made of solid plate, it should be laquered black for this armor LINK (and a red version for the red armor).
- Corthian - 05-26-2007
Black lacquered, that is the most easily textured surface, I should finish it soon.
