Normal Maps and Skin Issues


Recommended Posts

actually vanilla bodies have "NO" to "has vertex colors".

 

Still no luck with the normal maps, turning off normals and/or vertex colors just made the outfit very dark.

Actually vanilla bodies have 'Yes' to 'has vertex colors'

 

At least mine do. :confused:

well that's weird , mine doesn't ... they all have NO.

 

Well I made somewhat progress to the normal map issue, it turns out that it has the do with the BSLightingShaderProperty Flags.

4867 is for bodies and does make my normal map appear but it seems to be object based normal map.

771 which most armor has just make the specular appear.

897 is for some shields and swords, but makes my game crash if I apply it to a armor mesh.

 

Oh well I guess I'll have to try different numbers, if anyone have any other numbers you have seen elsewhere, then feel free to post them.

Updating Nifskope didn't really do anything except it feels abit more confusing and every time I save a mesh I get the error message "link points to wrong block type" which happens on vanilla meshes as well.

 

I took a closer look on the vanilla skyrim armor (however the body is still good ) and they don't have as good normal mapping as found in oblivion or fallout, but atleast they have some bit while my outfit have none.

 

What really grinds my gears is that the specular map (the alpha channel) is fully functional, I just won't get the negative values.

 

Does the "update tangent space" actually do anything for skyrim meshes? since I won't get the "NiBinaryExtraData" unless I choose to update the TS inside max. I've also tried having a NiBinaryExtraData inside a mesh but it won't make any difference.

 

Here is a few pictures of my settings:
