Some minor update on Samus’ suit!
Mesh & textures are 90% done.
There is some weird distortion on the inner knee areas which I have to figure out & fix.
Have to create a H-scene for the Zero Suit. I’m leaning on a ripped version with crotch & breast exposed (like in most H illustrations).
Also have to figure out how to hide her pony tail & side hair when she has her helmet on and show them again when she takes it off. This is gonna be the hardest part of the mod.
Deciding if I should have the visor opaque or transparent (as shown). I really want to have it translucent, but I can’t seem to get it to work right.
Still have to test everything, but I don’t expect any problems.

Here’s my version of Samus. No major mods, just made the pony tail tie red and made her hair part the same way the original. Also gave her the realistic blonde hair look, that you can’t get from Make.

How the visor looks now is pretty cool o.o Can’t wait to see the rest!

Or have the helmet hang back during an ecchi scene?

I’d say keep it transparent. It might cause some slight issues in AG3′s engine, but her visor has been transparent since Super Metroid on the SNES…it’s more cannonical for us fangirls :p

The transparency doesn’t really have any issues in the game, I just find it TOO transparent
It doesn’t really cover the hair, brows or lashes, due to how they layer transparency in the game.

Well. Atleast, back in Super Metroid, they way they show the transparency on the visor is with one side transparent, the and other opaque, because the visor is rounded (so logically you’d only be able to see through it at the right angle, refraction would make it opaque otherwise). Maybe you could simulate that by having one half transparent and the other opaque?
Bit complicated for such a minute detail I guess lol

This is really impressive it beats any Samus mod I’ve seen so far. Great work!

Dude… you’re starting to transcend from simple hobby to amazing art… her suit is astounding. The detail on the armor is amazing. I’m really taken aback but such quality.
What ever happened to your Motoko GITs outfit. From the screens she looked done! I’d certainly love it just as it was.

Wow, that’s a great Samus costume..! I like the transparency in the screenshot too…
Nice work, I’m dying to see this in game
I think I’ll listen to Metroid Metal as I wait~

outfit is pretty much done, I’ll release it as soon as I figure out how to hide her ponytail when she has her helmet on.

So that’s the hold up? Good luck then…….

just wondering, where to get that mod for the hair to take away the black part that doesn’t change color?

with the ponytail-hiding, in Make when you create an outfit, under Head there is the option to set a specific hairstyle for the outfit. i don’t know if and how it’s possible with custom/mod-outfits, but maybe it’s a pointer o:
