I want to thank WhiTeRaven and Omega Res Novae. Since I decided to retex Ruby WEAPON they have been really helpful in getting me up to speed quickly on the different modeling tools. First I changed the TEXs that alac had, both quadrants. I decided to make them both my Ruby Red, which is a picture of an actual ruby. While working in Kimera, I made the decision to switch the chest, claw, and waist out with the older ones, that way it more closely resembles Ruby WEAPON rather than "a giant made of random jewelry" and use strategic lighting to help them all resemble each other. After that, the legs were annoying both WhiteRaven and I, so I lowered the brightness on the legs so now all the ruby red is the same tone.
I had to make sure to uncheck the "0 as transparent" block, twice I went to save and realized it was checked, so then I hit cancel and kimera crashed. So I had to redo it.
Here's what it looked like in Kimera before I darkened the legs some:
And here it is with darkened legs and useable in game. No bugs found with it either.
I'm pretty happy with how it looks compared to what it started out like. If anyone is interested in using him in battle, I'll upload the files and put in a download link on my first post. If this does get some people wanting it, can a mod please move this to "Releases?" And as always comments and suggestions are asked for, wanted, and appreciated. Not too bad for my first battle model, huh?
