Noxvern Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Hello modders, After many attempts and searching everywhere on the internet for a solution, I come to this forum with the hope that you can help me. The problem lies in my custom armor that I have created. As you can see in the image, the texture is completely black and I don't know why. Both in Blender, as in BodyOutfit Studio and in NifScope the textures were visible, but when importing it into the creation kit it looks black. I have used all kinds of programs like NIF Optimizer or Cathedral Assets Optimizer, but I can't get it to work... How can I solve that? Thank you for your attention!

Sphered Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Does it look black in-game too? Its most likely a vertex color setting causing this, but the game basically ignores that and usually renders it the expected way For tools to see it the way you expect, check your shader data and the shape data. There is a vertex colors section in each and if they dont agree with eachother, yeah black can happen. Check the actual color scheme too under the shape data. Your exporter or tool might have defaulted all to black. All white is the typical default for Skyrim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the BodyOutfit Studio? Im noob on all of this and I don't know how to make them match or where I have to change' it hahaha Thnx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sphered Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Nifskope is handy for stuff like this. Here is a shot showing where you go to see that info Also there where its says BSLightingShaderProperty there is a flags section which says whether this model uses vertex colors or not More or less the same process for SSE mesh if its that, just the layout in skope is a little different. And honestly it might be just fine to disable vertex colors entirely. But either or, just make sure the color scheme is all white like in this shot and not all black if you do keep them enabled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noxvern Posted January 25, 2023 Author Share Posted January 25, 2023 Found another problem, now the armor becomes "invisible" when you look closer. Especially the uper body, the rest its fine I dunno why :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sphered Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Looks bad ass The disappearing thing is niche. My guess: You have translation coordinates on the trishape and should clear them. Or. You need translation coordinates on the trishape. If the latter, I am not certain what armors need, but I do know some head shapes need position z around 120 to not have that disappear issue. Play with it I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
