The Toggling

[Airwolfen]

Thank you and the team so much for putting in the effort to make this happen! My fashion framing can continue as usual.

[xXDeadsinxX]

Yes! Finally :)

[Shadow8600]

Thank you all very much.

[Testostzzet]

Thanks [DE]Taylor and everyone at DE! Any chance we could get a writeup sometime on the hurdles and how you conquered them? It sounds like quite a project that I'd be fascinated to hear more about.

[Neptlude]

Thank you!

[MartianJellyfish]

Thank you so much everyone at DE (and fellow Tenno) who helped make this possible. You are a godsend and have my full trust again.

^{_{I ain't even sorry about the Grineer sacrifices.}}

Thank god. T_T

[LeaserResael]

Absolutely awesome news. Thanks to everyone who worked to make this happen. It's always better to give everyone the option to choose how they want to use these skins. 
Glad to see a toggle is going to be added and I cannot wait to get the Incubus Loki Skin + Helmet.

Again, thanks a lot for listening and working towards the best possible solution.

Thanks!

Nova prime looks so good with her prime parts :D

I was taking pictures before it's gone

Excited for the Samurai Jack revival, are we? 

Jokes aside, please know that the toggle didn't make it into the console build for this week's update. Currently, all of the Prime models are replaced with the Normal models, but that will be changed in a future update!

yep i know. It is to be expected after all, better late than never to be honest 

[OniDax]

Just saw this. Wow. Just wow. That is some serious dedication, DE.

Okay so after looking through Valkyr and Saryn I guess it's impossible to simply edit the mesh parts like they were the armor pieces due the ridicolous amounts of modifications they have (like, Saryn literally LOSES mesh parts on her Prime while gaining others). Nekros is another example of this.

So what I guess the game does is simply call for the regular mesh once it's toggled.

I liked my suggestion better. Basically thge same, but was a better UI presentation and you could totally fake yourself as a regular frame :P

A deep and respectful thank you from the bottom of my heart, your art team all deserve a hug and a box of cookies for pulling this off.

Make sure the ones responsible for making this happen know how appreciated they are!

I am actually still unclear about that.

If the primeparts are on a different "layer" and are strictly speaking added models, then it depends on how much the body is modified.

If this is a toggle between regular vanilla body and prime body that is still better than just making primes into vanilla by default. 

I guess we know soon eh?

[Seratuhlis]

I am happy that my faith in DE has not been misplaced!

 

This is also one hell of a Valentine, I knew DE loved us enough to take their time

[Stenu]

Thanks God! and you  too  Taylor

Actually the Primes are modified models, so...

To make it clearer: Compare in game Saryn to Saryn Prime. Check her right leg. You'll see what I mean.

Aw, I was briefly excited thinking this was about being able to toggle between archwing flight modes.

Oh well, I'm glad you set out to do something people were hoping for and figured out a way to do it.

Is this only for Warframe Primes or will the toggle apply to weapons as well? Because the Burston Prime has a different reload animation than the Burston regular and when I use the Solstice Burston skin on the Prime the model gets messed up. Reloading is done through the stock and the clip goes missing and never gets replaced.

Isn't Saryn at the epicenter of this? Her model is so different from the base that it can't handle the texture, they have to share the same texture but have different UV-sets.

The leg especially seems to not have a corresponding place in the texture at all, so those UVs are elsewhere. That seems to indicate a new uvmap could solve that to allow the texture to cover those areas.

Would mean work for someone.

thanks for this, glad I can still use my skins the way I like

Nekros is another example, Prime has the Mortos attachments as part of the wings, normal are integrated on normal mesh shoulders.

It wouldn't be viable to do that Too many Warframes now, and then there's future ones. Hence what I said: Per frame toggle set up calling for the other model.
