request Bijin Skin w/o Breast Shading for Petite Bodyslides

[Altwen]

As you can see in the pictures, Bijin Skin's underboob shading ruins my petite girl immersion. It's even worse on the Dark Elves like Jenassa, she looks hideous at 0 weight with two big black "UU" s on her chest.. Is there an alternate skin for small boobs or can somebody make one? I'm kinda set on this skin since I have a bunch of other stuff that goes with it..

 

A texture with less/no shading under the boobs or a general guide to do it myself would be nice.

I've figured it out.

 

The problem is the normal maps Bijin skin uses all come with dark boob shading (even the petite one) so I've replaced all the normal maps with "petite" ones from CBBE Normal Map Options.

 

When you get body texture files, the normal maps are labeled _msn you'll have to replace the head and body _msn textures or it will look uneven around the neck. Using the default CBBE head normal maps works fine with any of the default normal map options.

 

Edit: Might have to change the hand _msn too

thanks for that. I've avoided small breasted females in the past for exactly that 'overshading' reason.

I can't do it, I like variety more than everyone being an anime waifu XD

Where do I find the default CBBE msn files to replace them with?

They only have the body msn file in there. Can't quite find the head msn file from the CBBE files. If you know where it is, I'd appreciate it.

Head msn is in the main download, along with the body and everything else.

Thanks, managed to get it to work.

i know this thread is old now but this replacing the _msn files didn't work for me, so i was wondering if i did it wrong or if you could please say what exact files (so from which folders) need to be replaced, i'd really appreciate it !! i like the bijin skin a lot, but this is a bit of a deal breaker for me
