You saddly can't edit body models, though that is one of the things I would like to see changed someday. :l

Indeed. I read from another user that when these people makee the models, it's basically like, coloring in a color book. You can add textures and details within the lines but you cannot edit the lines themselves (cannot change the model template). So they work with what they got and people made incredible works by being a bit clever!

EDIT: Body model-wise. I believe helmets are green-lit for whatever because it doesn't affect the animations of the frame.

My bad, I could have sworn that some of the existing tennogen skins actually had body changes. I guess there's nothing to do but wait for a prime or a platinum skin or something

Actually, I don't know what DE was thinking. I don't see how they can limit players because they might make skins that don't fit the animations, when they made skins like Trinity Prime that have massive clipping sections, even just in a neutral stance.

I feel like letting players modify the body shapes would let people actually fix some of the major clipping zones with their custom skins.

But oh well

pls add metallics
then done

you are allowed to make textures invisible, DE have confirmed that. so making the ammo containers invisible is allowed.

Really? That's the first I've heard of it. And I'm assuming you mean model, not texture, but anyway.

I suppose if that's the case, only certain parts of the body could be modified, like the plates and pieces that Prime Details swap out.

Body models cannot be edited because of rigging issues.

Because if they allowed that, the riggers would have to rig it every single time, for every single TennoGen model. That would in turn mean that DE would either not allow creators to remodel bodies(which is the case now) or slow down the acceptance contests so that the rigging team can allow the workload to actually be rigged.

The problem is that, as a full model, there are no textures between the ammo containers and the body. Say if you were to make the ammo container invisible, you'd actually be able to see inside of Mesa because there is no texture there. That's why the ammo container has to exist, or else there's gonna be a hole that you can't paint over. I don't know if I explained this correctly.

Or how about this: say you have wires in a pipe that connect into your wall, that allow your wires to go into the wall. If you remove the pipe(make the textures invisible), you'll just have a giant hole in your wall. Filling that hole up will be the equivalent to remodelling the body.

I really wish that TennoGen allowed custom created bodies. TennoGen creators have shown over and over again that they are capable of very high quality articles. However, the issues presented with it would outweigh the pros more than the cons.

I think quite the opposite. I think they fit nicely, because it reminds me of the Revenant from Paragon, or someone who's died and comes back to hunt the living (Kinda Supernatural-ey. Where's Sam and Dean??)

i really think author should do sometihng with the name
names in warframe suck as it is but i doubt devs will go all the way and use words as devil, demon, satan etc
i think more neutral name will be much better, or even make up word what does not mean anything like Graxx
