Swapping BBB to Non BBB Armor?

[FadetoBlack04]

Sorry if this was already discussed somewhere else, but I can't seem to find what I'm looking for.

 

I found some great armor and clothing mods I want to use, but I like to change them around to fit the body I use. Some of these are BBB and as I change them to a nonBBB upper body, I can't seem to figure out how to remove the bounce from the clothing. At first I tried removing "NiNode"s that didn't appear in nonBBB clothing and bodies, that didn't seem to work. Messing around in Blender didn't seem to yield me any results either, unless I am doing something wrong.

 

What do I have to do to remove the BBB from clothing/armors?

 

Thanks for being patient with a nub modder like me, and any help is appreciated.

You need blender / 3dsMax or other 3D program.

 

I'm not sure if this is correct way but in Blender: remove BBB nodes (= Delete Vertex Groups OP1-3), then weight paint chest area to red-orange using spine2. Apply - select all - export. I did use this method to turn one bikini with wild bounce to solid rock XD

Easiest way is to just use non-BBB animations.

I don't use BBB animations, mods that I downloaded and would like to use have BBB, and as I like using this walking mod I have more than seeing bouncing boobs or clothing, I tried to swap them. I have no talent (yet) to make my own original armors so I use other peoples.

 

@Mahtawa Thanks, I'll have to try that now.

Of course you use BBB animations. BBB is an animation effect.

I did almost exactly what you suggested, however found that changing the weight paint is not a needed step. Didn't change a thing, but by deleting the "op" vertices(?) that are a part of the skeleton that did the trick with no known flaws yet.

 

Again, thanks for the help, and I'm sure I will be able to get it to work for all my other mods I need to mod. :)

I'm trying to follow your explanation but I can't seem to believe it.

 

I dislike BBB as it becomes a problem with other mods I like. I understand that some of the mods I have include a BBB body with the clothing/armor meshes, but I personally don't really use any BBB clothing/armor/bodies. I will agree that it is an animation effect, but I have to disagree about me using BBB.

 

Sorry if I'm confusing you as much as you are me, but lets just call it a draw and I'll just believe what I want to, even if it is wrong. :D

The point is that you need three things to have BBB:

 

BBB Weighted Meshes

BBB Compatible Skeleton

BBB Enabled Animations

 

If the animations you are using do not accommodate BBB (such as the Vanilla ones...) then you won't get any bounce, even if the meshes you use are weighted for BBB.

Ok, that makes some sense. Whatever the case was though, the clothes would bounce, but the breasts didn't after resizing the armor or using a static body instead, thats what I couldn't figure out. By me messing around and deleting the "op" things in blender, that must have removed the link between the clothing and the erased BBB animations that was left over.

 

Like I said before though, I'm not a very experienced modder, I mostly just make attempts to improve existing mods that I have running. So I appreciate your patience with me.

If you have a non-BBB torso, you can use Bone-Weight copying in Blender to un-BBB clothing meshes.

 

Here's a tutorial on how to make things BBB compatible, but you can use the same steps to do the reverse.
