vlaka Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Hi everyone :) My dilemma is as follows: Been using CBBE for yonks now and thought i'd change it up a bit and use UNP, problem is I can't find a decent skin and face texture mod which match up nicely.I've donwloaded one or two but they just dont seem to want to match up. If anyone could be so kind as to point me in the direction of these textures i would be immensely appreciative :D Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much the reason I went back to CBBE... even trying the 'seamless UNP' version of Coverwomen, I was still seeing the seam... not so much inside but in light it was pretty obvious. CBBE+any face mod+ texblend = almost completely invisible neck seams, so for now I stay with it. Good luck in your search, and please let me know if you find a good combo for UNP. :tongue: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zonzai Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 @vlakaA good ENB preset will do a lot to make the characters look better. That should be the first thing you get. @AirklotNice list. I forgot about coverwoman. It still has the best textures around the eyes and the lace warpaints are always cool. @SheWildWolfDimon99's neck seam fix works perfectly. If you can't use photoshop to fix the seams use gimp. It's free and it has a dds export tool. Copying and pasting is not that hard. Neck seams are not a reason to use to CBBE over UNP. There might be other reasons to use CBBE, but not neck seams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vlaka Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 thank you so much Airklot.My females look great now. Ill also give coverwomen a try with UNP, i dont have many neck seam issues anymore either. My enb helps blend things too which is a bonus :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can do the diffuse and spec blends just fine, but I have a problem with the normals... size wise I mean.. when I go to paste the UNP neck normal onto the normal map of the face for marquee select and cut to blend, it's twice the size as the face map.. I've tried unsucessfully to scale them. :( The neck seam is still visible if I've only done the diffuse and spec maps. Any advice on the normals? .:psyduck: Edited July 18, 2012 by SheWildWolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wukong80 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 hi, I also starting playing with CBBE until last month when I changed to UNP and I really don't regret it. I'm myself using PRETTY FACE ( I have the 1.6 version not using the last one ) which also has a UNP seam patch and it's very nice imo. No neck seam.And of course Apachii sky hair. You should give it a try. I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zonzai Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 @SheWildWolfYou have to resize the face map so that it is the same size as the neck. I don't know where it is in Gimp but in Photoshop it is under IMAGE > IMAGE SIZE. I hope that helps. @allJust a reminder, there will always be certain lighting conditions where your neck seams will show (even with texblend). But like I said before, a good ENB config will help a lot with that. Also, if you guys haven't tried it yet, check out facelight. It helps prevent your character from getting all brown and shadowy.
