Re: Modelling/Skinning assistance (global topic)
i went ahead and download a skin that I wanted to put a new head on. The skin, being from JK2, had the wrong skeleton, but I imported the JK3 one to use. I cut the head I wanted and stuck it on the rest of the model (via the mechanism: 'parent to' of objects). At first the skin appeared headless in modview, so after trying around some things (seriously i have almost no idea what i am doing. I am doing what the know video tutorials say exactly, but i get a whole lot of different errors) I put the head on the body using the parent method again. SO, after i tried exporting it, it said that i should split meshes. after a whole lot of time trying to figure out what exactly it wanted, I think i bypassed it! But the error now reads cannot load r_leg...unweighted vertex. Which was something mentioned by Trin to possibly be the problem for the head in the first place. AFTER some more tweaking, selecting the vertex groups, and using ctrl+i inverting the selection, thus choosing the unweighted ones (some guy on the internet proposed thut ::shrugs::) I managed to bypass that error and now I get the same one for the other leg. To which this method is useless because the inverted selection yields no results. My eyes are about to burst from their sockets. Does *anyone* have an idea what is going wrong?
I know a lot of things may sound incoherent, but that's the way they sound inside my brain as well, I am doing my best to describe what happened, having zero experience with this. So sorry in advance, and thank you for your time!

Re: Modelling/Skinning assistance (global topic)
Change #1: Cloaked variant of base tunic skin. I was thinking something like the black cloak with the dark blue lining that comes with the Black and White Kyrios skinpack. Maybe with a gradient fade from black to white around the edges if you really wanna be fancy? I dunno. A variant with the hood raised would also be nice, but might be difficult to model, considering Alsanna's horns.
Change #2: Different hairstyle on all variants, since Alsanna wanted to have long hair, so I feel like a skin that reflects that would be nice. ^^ What I was thinking was basically kind of a longer, floofier version of the hairstyle she already has, with the twin braids and all. Sadly, I don't really have any good references, so I guess I'll just have to fall back on weeb-ery. Kind of like this, except colored like her hair is now, and with her horns sticking out beneath/between the bangs.
If anyone's interested in helping, I'd be much obliged. Thank you!

Re: Modelling/Skinning assistance (global topic)
I've finally found the motivation to make some tutorials about frankensteining in blender.
Here's the first one :
(first part is missing the cursor but I guess it is still self explanatory)
Requirements :
Blender 2.79b or lower
JKA blender plugin suite
I'll make another one with more complex things, and bug fixes later but if you have some questions feel free to ask.
Answers without Questions :
- The white parts you see during the video are meshes of the model that aren't linked to a texture in the skin file.
- If you're struggling with the "right click to select" method of blender you can change it in the input panel of the user preferences.
- I'm using SublimeText to edit the skin files.
- I'm using a custom theme in blender, available in the user preferences.
- I'm deleting the various LOD in Poe's skin to avoid comflicts, by laziness and because I don't feel them really usefull nowadays.
