You can't. TennoGen skins are only allowed to change the helmet and the rest of the model's texture.

Id sort of agree if you could. the front chest plate has a nice design but still maybe add a bit more to it you cna still see the defualy design for its basic shape. if you could brings the back blates design into the glass on here back would make it look even cooler for the square bits maybe circles or throwing star shapes

Only helmets are allowed to have mesh changes when it comes to TennoGen. The rest of the body can only have it's textures changed.

I think you guys need to take another look at the TennoGen skins. Many of them cannot be argued one way or another, as anything other than full redesigns. Many of the TennoGen skins are such radical departures from the original frame, one cannot even recognize the frame any longer. Without being told before hand.

And no, I am not confusing them with Dev made skins.

You can turn the glass bits into any material you want. And since the glass classifies as energy colour, parts can be made transparent or solid and reassigned to other colouring channels so long as the model is not actually altered. You can see this with the Mirage Mithra skin where earlier iterations of it had the leg tumors completely assigned to energy and using a black energy colour could make them disappear completely.

Those are just well designed normal / specular maps in the texturing, no tennogen skins actually alter the model shape of frames.

Have you actually seen the models and maps etc in question or is this speculation because I have seen a few people hammering off this and am wondering what if any information is used to support these responses. I aint trying to flame just genuinely curious because I have had some misinformation on one thread that was clearly unresearched.

You just have to look closely at all the tennogen skins, they just are retexture of the original (yeah even the Graxx serie), and some creators actually said could they not change the models in some threads.

literally gara deluxe skin

you cant remodel skins other than the helmet.

which skin exactly makes the frame look so different that you cannot tell which frame that is???
seriously i personally could only think of some of the deluxe skins(which aren't Tennogen) so i am curious which tennogen skins you're talking about.

My best GUESS would be Nyx/Oberon/Loki "infested" skins. However, they are indeed simply retextures and not model swaps. Only helmets can be model swapped. I would assume this is largely due to rigging issues and attachment alignment.

And to make it easier to implement into the game.

Look closer lol, No one can change warframe body meshes.
