Can't get rid of terrible neck seam

[Deleted6279032User]

I am using Calientes Female Body Mod Big Bottom Edition and CBBE skin texture V2 V3 plus Thepal and UNP compatible. I don't understand why I'm getting this ridiculous neck seam. I tried installing them with the NMM and manually and I can't seem to get it to work.. if someone could help me out I would greatly appreciate it!

I used texblendlite.exe and that didn't fix the problem either...

What face mod is that?

[Deleted6279032User]

I believe it's the CBBE face pack found in Calientes Big Bottom Edition mod

I think caliente has a tool in the pack called texblend which can be used to get rid of neckseams.

I would search the nexus cbbe thread for more informations.

I've tried that and I'm still getting the same results

I just looked at the pictures of thepal modpage and honestly on a lot of those (from the modder himself) posted pictures there are neckseams.

Which is kinda strange, than I looked at the date of the files and those are from february-april 2012.

I went to the caliente thread and there the newest download (which youre probably using) is from november 2012.

 

IMO thepal isnt created for the cbbe body v3 youre using. The neckseam is prob created because face/hands/feet use the cbbe v3 textures and the body thepal.

 

Texblend should be a solution for this, but for whatever reason its not working (you should ask for help in the cbbe v3 thread).

it's a texture problem, you are not using the right one that's all, the blender works perfectly,

go back to Thepal mod page and choose the good one between the bunch of textures he provide for almost every custom body.

just a tip, in case of multi textures, there is specific install order to get it done, you must find your's.

 

the best is to install all the cbbe package (by caliente), body, then texture, then cbbe face as well, finally the blender and you're done. the mod author provide all the necessary tools to have a "one of a kind" char

and it's one of the most accurate body mod on nexus, every thing works fine for age now.

Actually, that's incorrect. If you use all the textures for face/body/hands from the CBBE mod, then you never need to use TexBlendLite.

@iShrubbery:

Download the full version of TexBlend, select 'Body and Feet' as the 'Set', and blend the neck files for the colour/normal/spec maps. If you are indeed using the CBBE face pack with non-default body textures, then this will blend the already-blended face file with the unblended body.

TexBlendLite only blends the neck of a non-CBBE face texture to the default CBBE body textures. If you use another body texture mod, then it wont work.

Check the CBBE FAQ, or post a comment on the CBBE mod page/TexBlend mod page if you need more help.

so my bad, i've always run the blender after setup the body with body slide. thks for the tip ;)

then the neck seam, it's just a question of how many "layers" you use, if one is misplaced then it's not working well

 

i'm using unpb now and without blender, i must organize the install order to get rid of the neck seam, using Thepal/Navetsea/Xs2reallity/Honey vanity
