Good evening, TERA Fans! Today I'm very proud to present our female Castanic armor renders! I think these pieces are absolutely gorgeous.

All thanks for these amazing renders go to Radacci. Male Castanics will be out soon, enjoy!

Nice turnaround time on these, thank you! The realistic boob size is making me question my decision to go high elf as my main... maybe I'll have two mains!

I know from seeing other armor renders that there are some pretty blatant clipping issues between the longer hair and the popped collars on some of these, but radacci chose hairstyles that minimized or eliminated that issue, at least as far as I can see (haven't looked through all of them yet).

I like the designs overall (as long as I put aside any "realistic" idea of what plate armor should look like), just kind of bummed about the clipping, even though it's not really apparent in these particular renders.

If there are to be Castanic priests, I think I've found my race because I just really love the style on these cloth pieces. Did you take a look at some of those boots? Those boots are fierce enough for me

Clipping is always a scary thing, but what can ya do, I guess D:

Haha Bluehole studio is full of perverts

but i like it, very nice done and put me a bit into dillema:

1) Female Elf - great butt shaking while moving
2) Female Castanic - sexy but strange running and seems Castanic race will be overpopular

nah i stay by my female Elf

[Radacci]

ya, some of the longer hairs went through some of those high collars, so i tried picking short hairstyles for those :)
in some pics there's still small pieces of hair sticking through.
But i hope it's not overly disruptive :)

Actually, they could just design a secondary up 'do for the long hair styles when they wear outfits that have high collars, but I don't know how difficult that would be from a coding perspective. Aion did something similar with hats, though, so it seems possible.

Edit: Even cooler, they could turn designing new clip-free hairstyles into a fan contest...

That's a pretty neat idea :]

For reference, the clipping issues I referred to can be seen here and here. I don't mind minor clipping, but those two are pretty sad.

I do like the boots! There's even one where I hate the outfit itself but covet the boots, lol. The Lady GaGa boots make me giggle, though. (Although the TERA team probably designed these shoes before she even wore anything like them.)

Right, those clipping issues are depressing :( Who knows if En Masse have something up their sleeves to combat that or not!

And I feel like those boots are clearly made for me 8D 8D

like, re-designed? or me re-render them? :)

haha ya, those clippings are epic.

[Geno]

well i have decided that i am not going to play this game for the epic gear... will stick with the combat system for now

[Radacci]

i think its good that the male armors dont look the size of siege machines.
i think they arnt to big anywhere. though female armors are way to little in many cases.
i kinda like most of the armors so far.
but sure, they arnt like omgepicsauceimba :) but nice designs.
It will look a bit different in-game anyways, with extra shaders, moving chars, and such.

[Apollonius]

castanic females are like the trademark of tera :D

[color="#ff8c00"]At first I was bouncing between fem amani slayer and sorcerer, but I HATE the way leather looks on female aman. And cloth looks gorgeous on them so that decided it.

On the other hand, male aman look ****** in leather, so I might make my slayer alt a male aman. Then female high elf archer. Those are really the only race/classes I am interested in.[/color]

[Novos]

Oooooh Yesss!!

loving the castanics always hehe
