Blade & Soul - Red/Ivory Specter (Yun Outfit) Mod

In the last five posts, I have been filling mod requests by viewers and this post is yet another request.  😅  And there are still more on the list. Busy, busy, busy...  😵

As you can see from the title, we have the Red and Ivory Specter in one mod. Not because I have suddenly grown two more hands and can work on two mods simultaneously but because the two outfits actually share one package together with their other two sisters: Light Specter and Dark Specter. In such a case, it is easier to duplicate one mod to the other outfit since they share the same 3D model.

Check out the Specter sisters below.

Red Specter            Ivory Specter          Dark Specter         Light Specter

Since the Specters look exactly the same for Gon, Jin and Yun, I will only show the Gon version here.

The Specter outfits look much more similar to the Cheongsam costume than the Yun Twist of Fate that we have seen before. The main difference from a traditional Cheongsam is that the slits at the sides have different height, with the right slit significantly longer than the left.

Other than color difference, the Red and Ivory Specters use full piece of cloth while the Dark Specter has small holes littered throughout the bottom part of the outfit, giving a semi see-through effect if we look close enough. The Light Specter, on the other hand,  has holes on the yellow portion of the outfit.

The most prominent design of the Specters is the armor pieces on the right arm and right leg respectively. The armor pieces split the arm and leg in two, with a blazing ball of light connecting the top and bottom halves.  😲

The Red and Ivory Specters are exchanged, in Jadestone Village, using tokens gained from faction PvPvE (Blackram vs Bamboo Guards). That means putting on a Blackram outfit to defeat Bamboo Guards or vice versa, depending on which outfit you are after. However, the more exotic Light and Dark Specters can only be bought online from the Hongmoon Store.

Before getting to the mod, let's examine the original Red and Ivory Specters closer.

Front View - Original Outfit

Unlike the case of Twist of Fate, where the cloth fully follows the left leg and looking weird during movement, the Specters have their cloth 'cutting' into the leg. 😦

Well, I guess that's how much technology (collision detection and object property) can manage for now... At least until processing power takes a huge leap to be able to render real-life like physics, without busting our puny budget. 😓

Side View - Original Outfit

Comparing to the front view, we can see the right slit starts all the way up on the waist, while the left slit starts on the thigh. As such, we can see the panty string with a ribbon at the right side.  😅

Since the request is simply to sort out the cloth that 'cuts' into the skin, I mainly trimmed the cloth at the front for the mod. With the cloth at the front trimmed, the cloth at the back will also have to undergo the same treatment. In addition, I shifted the panty string up to the waist, in line with the start of the slit, so they will not mar the beautiful leg.  😆

The above paragraph probably sums up the entire mod, so let's look at the modified outfit below.

Front View - Modified Outfit

With the cloth trimmed, we see no more flesh cutting cloth. Unfortunately, the Specters lost the essence of the Cheongsam design. 😥

Instead of a flat ending, I made them crooked to fit the fiery nature of the outfit.

The panty string and ribbon are no longer in view. 😅

This wraps up the mod for this week. Watch the video below for a clearer view.
