Once, there was only one framework and everyone modded in harmony, but then everything changed when the fire nation attacked.

What's the difference?
Primarily, the basic difference is the UV layout of the body/arm textures between the base version of the UV Framework, and VTK. Beyond that other features include:
KS UV | VTK |
---|---|
Arms on same texture as the rest for basic version | Arms on different texture |
Add-on version for further arm texture layout options | Requires/utilizes Unique Arms by Halvkyrie |
Unique Normals map for base version | Same body overlays for each body gender (?) |
Unique normals maps for arms with Add-on version | Emissive (glow) overlay |
Separate body overlays for each body gender | Alternate Texture for foot submeshes |
Emissive (glow) overlay | |
Unique Normals map for base version | |
Cyberarms built in to base version | |
Unique Skintone .mi (Material instance) files | |
Unique Eyebrows |
