Argonian Beautification Texture Problem

[quake709]

Hi, just have a problem i recently encountered; the neck and upper body (Area above the chest) do not match with the textures of the IABT mod, and i tried to install IAFT and it just fixed the face, not the neck/upper chest. Any solutions?

 

I am using Robert's Male v52(OMOD)

 

I am not using the scripted Argonian feat

 

I am using Slof's Better Beasts(I know it works because the claws show up)

Getting the head and body textures to line up smoothly is like trying to align a straight line to a curve. That is exactly what the texture layout borders are at the neck, the head one is straight, the body one a curve.

 

I did my best to get them line up as smoothly as I could achieve, but it's still far from perfect.

 

What do you mean it doesn't match IABT? It was created from IABT, made fitting the respective body mods' different layouts as best as I could manage.

 

This, for reference, is exactly IABT and IAFT, and even those don't align perfectly:

I even made their respective borders align yet more smoothly. Did you know Vanilla upperbody and lowerbody textures were never meant to align to begin with?

 

And this is what it should look like with AB Robert's:

The neck seams are far from not noticeable, though I did my best to make them so. However, back then I wasn't as skilled as I am today and couldn't really do much, yet. Maybe I could make it better with a second try, but there's no free time left for second tries, or anything at all that is, lately.

 

Does it look different to you than in those pictures? Then it could be something else entirely and we'd have to investigate it further.

 

You got IAFT working right, so I guess it's not an Archive Invalidation issue this time round though, else your faces won't have changed at all.
