[Request] Best UNPB Texture, thoughts?

SadisticIntentionsXI · April 3, 2013

What is the best UNP/UNPB Texture (With face texture) there is? I've tried a few, and most are okay, others aren't even good (might be old files I found).

Any suggestions on which one(s) to use?

It would depend on what you expect from a skin. Personally, I use Honeyvanity's Barbarian Skin (shaved version) because of the muscle definition it offers. Maevan's Mature Skin Texture isn't a bad choice either if you're looking for ultra-realistic skin. Both can be found on the Nexus too.

I don't like the Muscle definition of the Barbarian Skin, and Milkdrinker is just too bright

I tried the mature skin, but the moles just bugged me, they look more like liver spots

Are there any cuter ones out there? Upper class, hasn't worked a day in her life, unmuscled type textures?

I am wondering that as well. Right now I am using Fair skin body and face, which they are no muscles really, it isn't bad, but I want something a little more realistic without all the muscles.

Use the standard normal map from UNP/CBBE and color map from the mature skin if you don't like muscle definitions. Mature skin has options, alternative textures that don't have moles and scars.

the creater has alternative without moles which is the one im using no moles with scars I can post image if you want nevermind I will

SadisticIntentionsXI · April 3, 2013

well you can just wait a while because the creater for mature skin is making a mole less one for unpb

Cool! I'll be patient and await for the liver spot/moleless version. Ty Killercam21 for the info!

I am pretty stupid when it comes to mods, and what not. I wouldn't know where to begin. I couldn't tell you the difference between an .sk from something else

I use this personally, I don't have any screens to show you as my laptop is currently away for repairs but they are superb. I don't think you will be disappointed. Now author created for use with UNP body but I tested with UNPB-v2.2, and v2.4HD on max weight and it worked fine for me. So might be worth a try, lots of options and res choices.

I did enjoy that skin, but I always kept getting a weird neck seam in different lights. I even tried using Texblend to fix it, and all it did was make it worse. (Which is strange, considering I followed the instructions to a T)

that is odd, I've been using it since release with no issues......sorry to hear.

Neck seams sometimes appear out of nowhere, even if the body and face textures have been carefully created. This is often a result of the SSAO settings of your ENB. Higher quality SSAO seems to make the issue more noticeable, at least in my experience. Turning it off in-game cause the seam to vanish instantly though.

Yeah, all ENBs and lightning overhauls (Realistic lightning, Relighting Skyrim, etc) make neck seams appear on all custom textures

From the ones I tried, Bleak ENB and Jasmin Real Cinema are the ones that make neck seam less visible, and Superb ENB and Enhanced Shaders - the most visible seam.
