Testing the Limits of Particle Effects

[Natterforme]

Ok. This time around I am testing out a certain way to make a shade/ghost/specter character/creature. I am going to create a simple, somewhat formfitting mesh that will be the base for a new set of clothes(my thinking is for it to be like a leotard). The clothes will be mostly unimportant, more place holder than final product. I would like them to be, in certain places, slightly see through, like what is done in the cowl for the Tyrael/Altair costume, where the eyes are in shadow but the mouth is visible( I will need help in this part since I dont know how to do it). Finally, I want to have different colored flames covering most of the body, forming, roughly, to the shape of the clothes that I will be making (creating sleeves and a long skirt out of the flames). I dont know if the mist texture that you see in vanilla oblivion(the kind you see hanging around grave yards and evil type houses) can be used either in conjuction with this effect or at all. The over all point of the clothes would be to give the characters' body a very insubstantial and floaty feel to it, without using the vanilla green ghost or shade as a body replacer.

 

I would also like to use the particle effect flames/mist as the hair for the character, also in different colors.

I was thinking for it to be similar to the flames found on some swords, but if that is not possible, or if there is a better solution, I will be more than happy to accept it or move on as is needed. I know that there are rings that have flames, so Im hoping it will just be the next step up to do it on clothes.

 

I would greatly appreciate any help in this area and any comments you guys give would be useful. If I am not making much sense, but you want to help, just as me to clarify and I will try to paint a better picture. I do not currently have a screenshot or armor pic to work from to give you guys a better idea of what Im thinking of.

 

*Note*: This is not intended to be a sexual based outfit or an adult mod. The flames or mist will properly cover both male and female models over the entire body, and not just in inappropriate places. There are plenty of adult based mods IMO and I do not intend to add to the list with this outfit.

 

Thanks in advance^^. :biggrin:
