📋 About This Mod
Okay, so where to start with this....
First things first - LOTS of credit goes to both Nxus 64 and Vainiuss1, without whom this mod would not be possible. The coat is originally by Nxus 64 (You can find it in his Reaper of the Underworld Mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/devilmaycry5/mods/364, and is what inspired me to make this mod in the first place). Also I want to highlight that Vainiuss1's DMC 2 mod ALSO inspired me, and I actually used the sleeves from that mod and the leg textures. You can find his original mod here: https://www.nexusmods.com/devilmaycry5/mods/344.
Okay, so as for the mod itself:
The coat, as I've already stated is a retextured and slightly altered version of Nxus64's reaper of the underworld mod. I added long sleeves to it (courtesy of Vainiuss1) and also edited the "skirt" part of the coat a bit to hang closer to Dante's hips. The prologue and mission 10 version of the coat is a brighter red, reminiscent of Dante's original look in DMC 2. Dante's cat after mission 10 is slightly darker and faded, to reflect the effects of being out in the weather and sun for a month.
Legs: original textures by Vainiuss1 which I slightly edited.
Boots: I actually took Vergil's boots to get the taller, slimmer, buckled look from DMC 2. I made them darker and edited them to give them a more leathery texture
Gloves: textured to look like the boots - I put three of of the claps from vergil's boots on each of them.
Collar: has two clasps and buckles like he had in DMC 2 as well.
EX COLOR - A reverse of the original colors - could honestly do with more retexture work, as its pretty rough rn. (white hair not included - I just can't stand Dante with black hair. NO.)
Known Issues:
There are a couple clipping issues around the shoulders and hands, where the cloth from the coat will go through Dante's skin or the leather of his gloves. Not a huge issue - but it's there.
More importantly, the gloves don't match up with Dante's hands perfectly, so if you look closely his fingers look kind of misshapen. So like... Don't look closely for now. They may scare you. I will probably be working to fix this in the future, but as it is I keep delaying posting this cause there's so much I want to do xD
Future updates: I am trying to make the chest-belt that he wears. It's proving rather annoying, but I hope to get that done soon. For now though, no chest belt :)
I also want to give a huge shout out to evilmaginakuma - my sensei - who has taught me pretty much all I know about model editing.
UPDATE 1. 2:
Okays so major update - the entire upper body has been slimmed down and the jacket has been brought to hang close to the body. Additionally, BIG THANKS to Thin Red Paste, who edited the physics to make the coat look more natural and less bulky - he also edited the slit
