can CBBE & UNP body textures for NPCs coexist ?

[seydaneen]

sorry if this is a dumb Q ...

I really put in a metric ton of learning by doing, reading and experimenting, but have hit a dead end now.

I can build pretty bodies in both CBBE & UNP in Bodyslide by now, have the physics working and have a (slightly random) understanding of what clothing works with which NPC.

There's a nice little crowd of followers and other turbocharged NPCs installed, the problem is half of them always look ugly (either robot hipjoints or four nippled airbags from hell on the other half), devil's alternative depending on which texture I choose.

a) is there a solution at all ?

b) if yes, could a kind soul please put me on track ?

a rough bullet point walkthrough would be fine, or a link to a well written tutorial

(written preferred over video, if possible)

 

Or I might just be misunderstanding Bodyslide, entirely possible.

 

any help would be much appreciated,

seyda

hello Charles,

looks like it is UV maps then ...

many thanks, that gives me stuff to research further.

for now I have settled for CBBE, seems to be the "lesser evil".

but I'll keep on digging, the curse of the better mousetrap ... :geek:

thanks again for your reply,
