phazer11 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Ganda says he'll take a look at the meshes if someone wants to pm him with what they're thinking of to fix them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechAngel85 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 "Normal" vanilla replacements. No addition of enlarged breasts is what we're looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hishutup Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 maybe in the install the vanilla mesh and keep the texture improvements on the status that are in question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechAngel85 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 That's an option, but we'd like the mesh fixes as well...minus the breast love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamImm Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Can the modified mesh just be replaced as a separate mod? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hishutup Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 The installer is very versatile. There are several options for every statue included texture options and meshes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamImm Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I was talking about Ganda's modified mesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hishutup Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 And I was saying you can just use the vanilla meshes for the time being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganda Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I've looked through a few of his meshes and so far there a few that while with a higher poly count there are much more imperfections that with a simple subsurf level (it has its problems but I mostly use it as a higher res control) as seen here: Left is this mods', Right is my control. I eventually figured out that he pretty much just subdivided the meshes once or twice (the breasts were clearly subsurfed - the rose pattern at the tip) and then fixed some edges either manually or with a smooth modifier, which accounts for both the higher poly count and the imperfections at some of the statues. Nifskope image is this mods', Blender image is my test after subdividing. tldr: Bad meshes are bad. While not all have added imperfections (like stretching - no uv unwrapping after meshing is bad) and some even have some smoother surfaces (the clavicus vile statues has slightly smoother horns and scarf) they are simply not better than vanilla imo. Tbh, I guess that's the equivalent to upscaling textures, adding noise and calling it an HD retexture. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssArrBee Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Almost sounds like it's better to start with the vanilla meshes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechAngel85 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 We could just pick the textures we like and call it a day. Skip the meshes until something actually improved comes along. Okay, I'm hijacking this thread for a moment. If anyone good at fixing meshes will fix the vanilla female body meshes and upload them to nexus as a modders resource, I'll be eternally gratefully! FemFeet compatibility is a must and compatibility with at least one hand mesh replacer would be icing on the cake! I need this for the STEP Female Overhaul.

EssArrBee Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I moved the posts to proper thread, continue the discussion of female bodies there and keep this thread for the statues. https://forum.step-project.com/topic/4772-nsfw-step-female-body-replacer/page-33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoubleYou Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 You missed the falmer statue when testing this. Here's some screens: STEP --> Rusty Copper --> Copper --> Copper with pink lamp textures disabled (I guess that an enb does wonders on this light?) I am voting No for this mod for STEP, after playing with it. It changes the textures, but most don't even look like an improvement IMHO. See these closeups of the face, for example. The copper version is the 4k texture. STEP --> Rusty Copper --> Copper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechAngel85 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 STEP is better in those shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
