I like to hyper-focus on learning very specific things then make tutorials on them so others don't have to suffer so HERE YOU GO! :D I will be updating the version number on this mod page when a new part is released so follow it if you'd like notifications! I plan on adding part 2 some time next week. If you have questions feel free to reach out to me on Twitter.
NOTES
Part 1 should be enough for you to be d a n g e r o u s if you already have some knowledge of Blender and making 3D mods for XIV.
Part 2 will go more in depth for those that are newer to porting or modding (like ME). Showing how to import an XIV body, sculpt and shape the BnS model to it, and weight paint.
Part 3 will focus on converting BnS textures, creating colorsets (yay π), and throwing everything together into Textools for testing.
The modding community for BnS is basically dead so it took me a lot of trial and error to figure out this method. I bought several stress snacks during those weeks (shout out to Costco and their bulk cinnamon rolls). I hope I saved you all some time and headaches and I canβt wait to see what beautiful ports you make for XIV!! ππ
