Skyrim Body: Which would you like ported? - Developers

See title. It's between CBBE or UNP. Keep armor compatibility in mind. I'm going to only be using one set of face textures in my upcoming Skyrim ports, so it's going be final. No, I won't be porting the body itself. Rather, it'll be the deciding factor in armors and textures.

Personally, I'd go with the UNP body over CBBE. The UNP body is more versatile than CBBE since there are more body armor mods that actually work with the UNP body alone, while also causing no issues with the default armor sets at all. On the other hand, the CBBE body usually requires replacing the default armor with CBBE compatible sets from what I've seen, and the body armor mods seem to consist of armor sets that are almost always specifically made for characters that somehow have breasts the size of a fucking zeppelin blimp.

[QUOTE=Katra804;46893717]-Snip-[/QUOTE] Agree. Any suggestions on a face/hands texture? So far I'm liking Fair Skin Complexion for UNP a lot. Edit: Here it is on a Ningeheim/Breton hybrid: [IMG]http://a.pomf.se/thgvlm.png[/IMG]

unpb :v:

I dont know these mods, but I'd go with the exact opposite of what looks like FakeFactory female models.

Neither are realistic, but I prefer CBBE because of BodySlide, so I'd say CBBE.

[QUOTE=Fredrika;46894448]is this just limited to female bodies?[/QUOTE] For now, I'm just finishing the head. The male head is going to come after this and some hairs/armors.

This is about proportions and armor selection.

Go for UNP, whatever that means. MOAR OPTIONS! :v:

[QUOTE=GreyGeist;46893797]Agree. Any suggestions on a face/hands texture? So far I'm liking Fair Skin Complexion for UNP a lot.[/QUOTE] If I could actually find the texture mod that I was using a while back with the UNP bodies, I'd link you to it. It seems like it may have been pulled from the Nexus though, so I'll see if I can find one of the other sets I was using. [QUOTE=Fredrika;46894448]is this just limited to female bodies?[/QUOTE] Considering that UNP/UNPB and CBBE are body mods for female characters, the two options presented are only limited to female bodies. There are male body replacers as well, but those are made by different people from what I can remember.

[QUOTE=Trek;46894350]I dont know these mods, but I'd go with the exact opposite of what looks like FakeFactory female models.[/QUOTE] neither then?

[QUOTE=krigulv;46894640]neither then?[/QUOTE] UNP actually looks decent, and towards weight 0 looks quite realistic.

I like CNHF myself it doesn't look overtly idealized, but it hasn't been massively adopted by the community so there's hardly any content for it.

[QUOTE=GreyGeist;46894812]UNP actually looks decent, [B]and towards weight 0 looks quite realistic.[/B][/QUOTE] albiet still an idealistic portrayal of the female form.

Go for both. The more customization, the merrier.

UNP looks more realistic and the mesh topology isn't a complete fucking mess when it deforms like CBBE does. There's really no contest in the geometry department. [quote] skin [/quote] Real girls real skin, pretty much no comparison in that department either.

Do you guys also port props? :S I am remaking whiterun for gmod and really would need some skyrim props.

[QUOTE=opti2000;46896728]Do you guys also port props? :S I am remaking whiterun for gmod and really would need some skyrim props.[/QUOTE] Znalecc ported some props from skyrim and it contained various buildings from whiterun.

UNP it is. Ported the Blood Witch armor to start. [IMG]http://a.pomf.se/sbedgn.png[/IMG]

Whats up with the textures

[QUOTE=-nesto-;46900193]Whats up with the textures[/QUOTE] Something messed up when I saved the normal map, so the SSAO was acting up. Here's a screenshot from HLMV. [IMG]http://a.pomf.se/ibbodj.png[/IMG] Only problem are the 16mb normal maps. Sigh.

Did you edit the diffuse or something? The leather looks like it's had its contrast jacked up and you have weird shit going on with the pants and arms

[QUOTE=-nesto-;46900272]Did you edit the diffuse or something? The leather looks like it's had its contrast jacked up and you have weird shit going on with the pants and arms[/QUOTE] No, it's ported directly from the DDS files of the original mod. I can send over the textures if you'd like to tweak it.

How about Serana?

[QUOTE=GreyGeist;46900442]No, it's ported directly from the DDS files of the original mod. I can send over the textures if you'd like to tweak it.[/QUOTE] Nah not necessary, I ported the armor months ago when I was learning Skyrim to Source. Can you post a shot of the diffuse from vtfedit?

If you could use this hair too: [QUOTE][IMG]http://static-2.nexusmods.com/15/mods/110/images/38326-1-1373778193.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] That would be nice.

[QUOTE=trololguy;46901000]If you could use this hair too: That would be nice.[/QUOTE] Is that from the same Seranaholic mod?

Yeah, it's the file: Seranaholic v1_0_1

[QUOTE=trololguy;46901065]Yeah, it's the file: Seranaholic v1_0_1[/QUOTE] Alright, I'm not exactly sure how to tint hair files. However, I'll definitely do my best to replicate. I'm thinking a dark, dark brown? Edit: [IMG]http://a.pomf.se/jajvuo.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://a.pomf.se/eiklze.png[/IMG]
