tolerance Posted October 12, 2020 Posted October 12, 2020 hey, been busy, not a fan asking others for help, but i can't figure out this issue. so i got this new body i made awhile ago, kind of an alternative to musclegirl. this one has a bit more fat, so it isnt all lumpy , i'm thinking of calling it brickhouse, its actually based on zkec i think, seams match hgec... anyway, i cant get the lats to compress correctly and get a sharp bend that i would like to fix, but every attempt to hand-weight the area has made it worse. 1FemaleChestAndLegsCurvesThighs tonedLines bulk v2.nif anyway, i want to ask if anyone even would like this body and put up with the flaws oh, and anyone know how i can best use seam mender, it usually works, but it wont run some meshes
gregathit Posted October 12, 2020 Posted October 12, 2020 The best thing to do is to import the body and skeleton into blender and then bring in the animation. Rework the animation and you can then export the fixed animation. I think the problem you are facing is the animation was made for a particular body type that is much thinner and with the bulkier body you are using it just doesn't fit anymore.

Yes some meshes don't work at all or do not work well. Sometimes a mesh as template works and sometimes it is better to create a lattice. Your body works with HGEC hand and HGEC SetBody reloaded foot. But there is a gap with vanilla head. Fix Head gap with seam mender works better with a head and upperbody lattice. Only head or only upperbody nif mostly doesn't work at all. When you have the final body and still have a head-upperbody gap and still problems with seam meander I can try it. Sometimes older/different versions works better. I use 3 Mesh Rigger, 2 Clothes converter and 4 Seam mender versions . . . and mostly one works

It is worth a shot, go ahead and try it with that skelly. I doubt it works however, as you'd need only a very small portion of the skeleton to increase to decrease the clipping. As to editing a bunch of animations, perhaps just pick the ones that need it. Like maybe just the idle animation or whichever animation bugs you the most. The other think you can look at is to do some more editing to decrease the proportions so they don't clip. That may not be to your liking as it may destroy the look you were going for. But that route might be the least amount of work. I wish I had a better answer for you. Sorry.
