Description
===========
Merry Christmas everyone! This mod includes a set of new clothes and a new staff with a dark,sexy and serious theme.
It has BBB support and the staff has some nice particle effects.

Location
========
You can find these items in Bravil at the north gate in a "misterious chest". I repeat IN Bravil and not
outside!

Details
=======
This was just a random attempt to prove my apartment colleagues that I can
model.
As I progressed with this more and more ideas started to pop so I decided to
implement them.

I didn't focus on the texture part too much. I really like my models to have
real details and depth. The corset and skirt have tangent normal maps generated
from 200k poly detailed corset and 180k poly detailed skirt.That explains a few things.
The gloves also have tangent normal maps but look a bit meh. They were entirely modeled
from scratch because I didn't like the hands. The fingers are probably
a bit long but I like them that way. The most annoying part was weight painting
them because they had twice as many polygons as the default hands and I had to gradually paint every edge loop.

Also,the boots were modeled from scratch too. Better than my last one with fewer polys.
Still a bit meh,but I'm getting the hang of it.

The staff also has modeled leaves,but you've gotten used to this idea my now :P.
Petals were modeled too,each of them.Leaves also have baked tangent normal maps.

I also tried something new with vector graphics for the stockings and laces and they turned out a lot more
better than if I used a photograph texture. Sure,they don't have all the tiny details,
but they never show up in-game anyway and make the texture look blurry.
And with vector you have a lot more control similar to modeling.

And there are a lot of other things left to say but that's enough.

Last time,there were some things that really annoyed me,so I'm not very enthusiastic about modding,
at least these type of things. I'll probably rarely
mod in the future these kind of things. I'll probably look into other things
that most people rarely use and focus on those instead.


Install
=======
1. Extract the files to a temporary location.
2. Examine the folder structure and make corrections where necessary.
3. Copy files to (install folder)\Oblivion\Data\
4. Start Oblivion Launcher, click 'Data Files', place a checkmark beside the .esp file(s).





Known Issues or Bugs
====================
Minor clipping issues here and there. Some minor issues with the skirt necklace/whatever.Chains
lack real textures because they are too small anyway. Some laces look a bit meh.And the skirt laces clip a lot
with the stockings. I had an idea about a fix but I'm sick of working on this. Don't comment about them
unless you really understand what they mean. Better off not saying anything!

History
