Fuse00 - Katari Armor 3BA UBE SMP

As I wrote above, this one took a bit of a longer time, but it's here now!

A bit of technical talk

I was at first a bit uncertain of what material I should've considered the "jacket" to be. Looking at it ingame it seems like stiff leather, but from the reference pictures Fuse00 showed it seems more like... cloth? Rather light and easy to move in, rather than something like a corset.

So I decided to keep it looking like leather, but kind of a soft leather? And I also decided to respect the original shape, so the chest area is naturally a bit raised and pressed. Not resembling a corset, but simply some tight stiffer clothing.

To maintain this shape I had to do some specific sliderwork, so that it can keep it's shape safely while avoiding clipping as much as possible. This however, works best for smaller to kinda busty frames, anything beyond that may encounter clipping!

To counter this, I decided to give this dress the "Helga treatment" and make two versions of the top part: one that retains the original look and a "relaxed" one, that instead follows the base reference body. The relaxed version is designed with compatibility in mind, so if you're experiencing clipping with the normal version feel free to test the second one!

If you still experience clipping then welp, you'll have to fix it for yourself in Outfit Studio.

Another change I did is about the thighs: in the original they're a bit squeezed by the stockings, and I didn't see it much important nor realistic for the material the stockins are made of, so I didn't keep it in the conversion. Also because I added zaps, and the stockings are one, so a squeeze on the thigh without stocking would look quite ridiculous.

So, what did I add?

Just like it happened for Akasha, this outfit turned out to be quite zappable.

So I went ahead and made 7 zaps: Scarf, Rope, Sleeves, Bracers, Stockings, Dress - Cleavage, Dress - Sleeves

For more informations on what zaps are and how to use them, please refer to the description in Akasha, as I wrote a small tutorial there!

You can see the zaps in action in the screenshots!

So, what to keep in mind?

The armpits as usual stretch pretty bad.

That's due to copying the body's bone weights onto the dress to keep it as clipping free as possible during poses with the body that's inside. For the sake of zaps I had to compromise. It's mainly visible when the arm is rised.
