SSE Making PC-Only Reflection Mask

[xVff12]

How would I make a reflection mask that applies solely to the player character? In case it matters, I'm using UNPB and Real Girls Realistic Body Texture. I'm trying to give my character an oiled appearance, but I don't want every NPC to look like that.

The easiest way to achieve what you're looking for would be to use a unique player mod (e.g. https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/3006) in connection with textures, that give you the "oiled body" look you want.

 

The "Shiniyess" (does that word exist?) of objects is controlled by the "specular map". For bodies, these are separate texture files with the extension "_s" (like femalebody_1_s.dds).

 

So, what I would do:

1. Install a unique player body mod.

2. Copy textures and a body you like according to the mod's description.

 

Depending on what you're looking for, you might have to tweak specular maps of existing mods a bit (GIMP or Photoshop). The "wet" specular of "Leyenda Skin" might be a good starting point. Also, "Demoniac" used to have an "oily" specular version - at least for UUNP. Don't know if the current version still has it. Other body texture replacers also might have, what you're looking for.
