Frosty1976 Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 The new Adec body is a nice looking body and is apparently based on HGEC so why can't someone just import a high rez HGEC. Both CBBE and HGEC have massive bottoms which might be ok if you are making redgaurd but on a nord, briton or in fact anything else just doesn't look right (not to my taste anyway). In a balanced figure (even for a well endowed rear end) the bottom extends to about the same line as the shoulders not like CBBE and ADEC were they extend twice as far. CBBE also has a massive gap gap between the legs and when i loaded ADEC last night my wife looked at it and went WTF those breast are ridiculous and so i immediately covered it up with that horrendous looking daedric armour. Athena is better proportioned but the breasts aren't quiet right. Mark 5 shows promise but needs more development and I would prefer something maybe a little more idealized. HGEC was just about a perfect idealized figure for the vast majority of people which is why it was the most popular. I know everyone likes to put there own creative touch on things but can someone import the frames just for the eternal gratefulness of what would no doubt be many? Please.

Rennn Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 There's not that much of a racial body difference -_- HGEC was too idealized in my opinion. I preferred Type V in Fallout 3; it was like hgec, but with a smaller butt and realistic non-rounded breasts. It was beautiful because it was more realistic. It still looked like a model's body though, which would be bad for Skyrim. CBBE looks like a pervy cartoon, and I say that with as much restraint as possible. It's not even hot it's so unrealistic and swollen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perraine Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 I'm assuming you've looked at, and past up TnT's Athena body?My link It's currently my favourite for pretty much the same reasons you mention ... However I do (almost) like the "pushin cushion" on the ADEC body, it's just a teensy, weensy bit too much (I lurv a girl with curves... 'tis why I still pick Lydia over Aela) but If he gets the weight slider compatible version done that should help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rennn Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 I almost kept Athena, but eventually I decided that due to the plastic skin, vanilla was actually better. Vanilla has good, pretty realistic curves; it's too bad nobody is trying to edit that instead of making a whole new body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rennn Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 :pinch: Their 3d modelling skills may surpass mine (you should have seen my attempt to make a tree mesh, now that was truly lolworthy), but I'll find or make a realistic body mod before this is over. It befuddles me when I see large plastic mannequins that function only as somewhere to mount a breast wandering around. Does nobody think of how females might feel about this? :no: What if a male mod released that had like a fourteen inch part and was four hundred pounds of pure plastic muscle. Would that be creepy? :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If girls want a muscular guy with a fourteen inch wangly-doo, well, they can go ahead and do just that. It's about keeping an open mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty1976 Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 Maybe your right and when ADEC has finished his body will go down to something a little more idealized and a little less hyper-sexualized. I just don't understand why nearly all the bodies so far have gigantic rear ends and breasts out of the fever dreams of a virgin 17 year old ;especially the gigantic rear end thing which can be made to look ok if balanced by properly proportioned shoulders but they haven't been. Just want something that demonstrates a little artistic sensitivity. P.S.I don't think that many girls want to have a character run around with a 14 inch schlong for most it would be funny for about 5 minutes then they'd get over it.

Perraine Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 The 'plasticness" (such a word?) of the bodies is more to do with the _msn.dds and _s.dds and the main skin texture files, which are the normal maps and specular maps and diffuse maps for the bodies.Just do what I did and play around a little with photoshop or gimp and try merging/splicing different texture files together ... Personally I like the 'curvier' Athena mesh, (and even the new ADEC <phew> Curves!) but I too didn't really like the fake looking flesh, I also don't mind it if a girl looks like she works out a bit, as a good "Nord Hero-ette" should (I think I just invented another word) So I combined some of the 'Muscular" flesh/skin textures with the default ones supplied with Athena, plus a little 'vanilla' Skyrim as well .. Works well for me ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
