Clipping and Rigging Issues with New Vendhyan Mystic Set (female)

[Belisarius_565]

While I like the overall look of the new Vendhyan armor, it was clearly not tested much on female characters. Even with an unaltered vanilla body, there is significant clipping on the Mystic Loincloth and bracers. I used TOT Custom for the testing, but I made sure to test everything with vanilla sliders. On the bracers, the first knuckle of the index finger sticks through the metal, on both sides, in the idle pose and during walking. It looks fine in T-pose, but you’re not supposed to see a T-pose in the game.

As for the loincloth, it’s far worse. Many of the bits that hang off the belt (both leather straps and metal bangles) clip into the thighs at idle, and to a lesser extent in T-pose, and the right butt cheek clips through the back in T-pose. And if you happen to look up the skirt, the butt clips through the panties in multiple places.

These problems become even more pronounced if you use Custom to change any sliders. I know Funcom doesn’t need to support anything besides the vanilla body, but most previous armor sets were rigged well enough that they continued to fit the body even when the sliders were changed. Clearly, not as much effort was put into rigging these new sets properly. Again, these issues are only seen on the FEMALE version, the male looks fine.

Given how much this content costs, I think we have a right to expect better than this. Please go back and fix these meshes. Many modders do a better job than this, and their stuff costs players nothing!
