Tattoo's for Fallout 4

Recommended Posts

Hey, im experimenting a little with making tattoos for fallout 4 but i cant figure out how to add them to the body succesfully.

 

I wanna do it step by step so you can see what i'm doing and hopefully tell me which steps are wrong :)

 

 

1. i take the cbbe femalebody_d.dds file and open it up in photoshop   (i already installed the ps 6 dds plugin)

 

https://s.put.re/C5kjb7o.png  this is the message i get when i try to open it (when i press yes it will open up the body with 3-4 little copies of the body in the same picture and when i press no its just 1 time the normal body - i choosed no)

 

 

2. open up a tattoo -> copy it to the main body (just a little side question here the picture is at this size -> https://s.put.re/7paUgGo.png

 

 

                                                                                    and when i copy it to the main body its just like this ->https://s.put.re/yfJ1fPK.png

 

is this normal ? cause when i want that tattoo bigger the scaling ruins the resolution which is kinda annoying.

 

 

3. i "multiply" the tattoo ( i dont know the english button-names so i try to translate them from german in english) to the body, like this -> https://s.put.re/62PQTvb.png

 

 

4. try to save the body -> https://s.put.re/9sLXwiy.png

 

 

5 as off the 1st image it says i have to use "use existing mip maps - when you save" like this -> https://s.put.re/ADuGoVB.png

 

 

 

6. press save 

 

[as a sidenote the .dds file i just create is a differnet size the the original (left original, right new) -> https://s.put.re/NaoVjQE.png ]

 

 

7. open up the game and it looks like this ->  https://s.put.re/R4uLwaJ.png

 

 

I don't know much about photoshop or .dds files but i really tried to get as much information from youtube, topic's etc. and no one  had problems like this.

I'm sorry to hear that it still don't work for you. :-(

Maybe you want to try GIMP? It's free and similar to PS. Or we should try to get it work with the nVidia-Pugin. But for that we should communicate via PM as it will be in german.

Theres literally no way i can get this to work...

 

i installed gimp 2.8 ->downloaded the dds plugin ->get the error libgimp 2.0.0 is missing -> googelt the error -> found 100 of topics about this problem tried a few solutions -> none have worked so far

1.(reinstalled gimp from another download site (parthas place)

2. downloaded libgimp 2.0.0 put it into the file and get a new error 0xc00000007b

 

seems like adding a little picture on a other picture is like traveling to the moon...

I'm really sorry to hear that, I could never get the nvidia plugin to work for me which is why I switched to the intel one. I have cs6 as well, is it saying that with all .dds file you try to open? or were you able to get it working?

 

Ich bin wirklich traurig zu hören, dass, könnte ich nie bekommen die nvidia-Plugin für mich arbeiten, weshalb ich auf die Intel zu wechseln. Ich habe cs6 als gut, ist es zu sagen, dass mit allen .dds-Datei versuchen Sie zu öffnen? Oder konnten Sie es funktionieren?

Today i installed Gimp on an other PC and it works. That's what i did:

Downloaded Gimp from here https://www.gimp.org/downloads/ and downloaded the plugin from here https://code.google.com/archive/p/gimp-dds/downloads. I took the gimp-dds-win64-3.0.1.zip

Installed Gimp. Copied (just copy, don't doubleclick) the dds.exe from the downloaded plugin folder to C:\Programme\GIMP 2\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins

Close all windows and fire up Gimp. That's it.

To save a dds file in Gimp: Go to Datei -> Exportieren als... -> change the name to whatyouwant.dds -> Exportieren

A little window will popup where you can choose your compression (DXT1 for example) and generate mipmaps. Than ckilck OK and your done.

I hope it helps.

I tried female and male .dds files (head, body...) none have worked so far.
 
 
Thx for your answers, have a nice day :)

Hi,

I have a litte problem with editing a skin with a tattoo,

I followed your instruction with gimp every thing looks/works fine.

But when loading my save game the game crashes... Its definitely the texture because when I replace it with the original texture it works fine.

 

Im not sure whats wrong with it maybe the compression I chose BC3/DXT5 and generate mipmaps?

And the mods textures Im using CBBE Ida Body (paler), Vex's Tattos(resource png), Unique Player from NexusMod

 

Anyone some idea or can help, its a bit Frustrating :-/

 

And sorry for my english its not my native language

I choose bc3/dxt5 and generate mipmaps aswell !

 

Did you untick the option "load mipmaps" when loading up your femalebody_d.dds ?

I dont know if more then 1 layer causes your game to crash but as you can see on the screen -> https://s.put.re/FQuQhp7.png i only got 1 layer

 

 

i allways try to get the tattoo on the perfect spot (takes much time yeah =D) and then "combine" it with the body. (when i finish 1 tattoo i export the the .dds put it in the basehumanfemale folder and start bodyslide - there you can see your body with the tattoo and you dont have to close gimp for that)

 

 

Heres the tutorial ive used to get startet with gimp -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsWgQ52bMc4 - 3:30 is where he gonna show you how to "combine" the layers .

 

 

Seems weird to me that your game crashes only because of your textures - i tried to start fallout 4 without femalebody_d.dds just the dirt body and head textures and it still worked.

 

Maybe theres some others stuff in your load order or your base game has a problem.

Is someone there knows how to make paint.net (the latest version) to open my dds, please?

 

 

sadly no - but try out gimp, tjure did a very good instruction how to install gimp with the dds plugin

I honestly dont know why the game crashes with the modified texture, for me it worked after using a clean download of the base texture and the png tattoo, maybe sometihing was wrong with the files.

But it now it works fine.

And thanks for the toturial vid
