Hah, Glass Power Armor. A reference to my Clear Glass Armor for Oblivion I assume. I suppose I'm now obligated to actually make a Glass Power Armor mod now. :D

 

I'll wait until someone finally gets the reconstructed default FO3 body mesh ingame. (The replacements we have now just look freakishly unnatural. Not sure why they decided to modify the body so much.)

Not a reference to anything. Just needed an example. Power Armor seems to be the most modded item (like Daedric armor) and my mind has been wrapped up in the Vvardenfell Glass project as of late.

 

"Glass" armor in this universe does not really make sense like it did in TES. Glass in the real world is not the same as volcanic glass in TES.

Ah, heh. Well ironically, I did make a mod that replaces the textures of the Glass Armor in Oblivion to look like transparent glass. Even though it's completely silly, I suppose I still have to make a Clear Glass Power Armor mod now; it's obligatory.

First Amendment? Or perhaps Universal Declaration of Human Rights Article 19? Besides, it was relevant.

You could but I'd recommend modifications to the mesh since it was not designed to be see-thru.

 

Here is an example of a model that was not designed for transparency.

 

The 1st image is unmodified.

The 2nd image is just turning on transparency and specifying the blade as 50% transparent (which looks odd at best)

The 3rd image is a modified model which takes into account that the "blade" will be transparent and the geometry is adjusted for it.
