Valentione Rose Heels+

Updates the Valentione Rose Heels to use DT shaders, improves dyeing and has some texture touch-ups. There is also an alternative model option for hyur-based tall females to replace the ankle cuffs for a cleaner looking version.

I made this mod specifically to pair these shoes with my Sphene Shorts Mashup mod, which you can find here:
https://www.xivmodarchive.com/modid/157952

Shading options:
• Normal sheen*
• Less sheen*

* If you want the socks to look more glossy, dye channel 2 with a metallic dye (such as Gunmetal Black) and then change the colours as you like on Glamourer. Unfortunately, Glamourer doesn't allow us to affect things like sheen rate yet (at least to my knowledge), so we don't really have control of those on the fly. It's why I have several shading options on this mod for now.

Personal note:

I like these shoes, so I had to make this unnecessarily complicated mod to make them compatible with the leggings I like to use.

Once again this was a mod that I thought I could throw together in a few minutes, but then I hit a few snags. Originally I wanted to make the ankle cuffs to be a toggle to remove them completely, but unfortunately the socks part of this model wouldn't blend nicely with the Emissary leggings (there was a very visible seam at the ankle once you remove the ankle cuffs).

I tried editing the normals and mask textures for awhile to get it to blend better but it just wouldn't work. So, instead, I stole cleaner looking ankle cuffs from another piece of gear (the Ala Mhigan Shoes of Gathering) and just slapped them onto this one.

Unfortunately, I only did this for midlander female-based bodies, so everyone else will have to live with the default ankle cuffs. Actually, the fact that this mod affects other races/genders is just an unintended side effect from the main reason I made this mod, but the coloursets look nice on them either way.
