Mesh improvements for the Creation Club version of the Hellfire Power Armor.

The Hellfire Power Armor from the Creation Club leaves a lot to be desired. Of all the armor available in the main game and "expansion packs", this is unfortunately the one that is the most flawed. And mods almost always do a better job than the "official" content.
With that said, I'd like to add that I'm no expert when it comes to meshes. However, I've managed to remove - or rather smooth out - some of the problem areas that this armor has. These currently include:
1. The so-called "Buttplate Fix" that user Bunslinger (thanks for his work here) kindly let me use for my project. Basically, the lower part of the armor no longer looks like an abomination once you go into stealth mode with it. You can check out the pictures to get a clearer picture.
2. Helmet and neck area. The helmet has been extended at the bottom, making it harder to see into the (pretty hollow) interior of the helmet. It's something that completely ruined the immersion for me personally.
3. Upper part of the torso armor. The original mesh has no connections or any kind of structure there. Every other armor has something like that, even the old T-45. This makes the area between the shoulders and neck look completely unprotected - which is pretty stupid when you consider that the Hellfire is supposed to be one of the most advanced armors. I had to carefully connect, raise and extend the meshes as a makeshift measure, and even if this slightly "lengthens" the affected textures, it still looks good, I'm happy with it - and anyway, anything is better than the original faulty design.
4. Upper part of the leg armor. There wasn't much to complain about there, but I raised this part a bit, as you can see in the pictures, to give a little more privacy for the inner parts of the armor - I always find it weird when you can see into a high-tech armor so easily.
5. Part between the "buttplate" and the thighs. This part was one of the most problematic for me. Basically there was a huge hole on either side that you could probably push a baseball bat into pretty easily. It almost seems like no one actually reviewed or tested this armor in game before it was released ages ago. Either that, or they just didn't give a shit about how half-assed everything looks. Probably the latter.
INSTALLATION INFORMATION:
It's just a simple folder with meshes, no plugins or other bells and whistles. Install and uninstall as you see fit.
I hope with this you can enjoy this armor a bit more.
