[Nightbringer00]

some more pics of your nocturnal robes in better light

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the textures are from 16 HQ Nocturnal robes and three replacers

[Caliente]

Thanks for the pics Nightbringer, looking good!

 

Ryanhabs: The top end is a bit much for me too, the lower weight values are pretty good though. I'd like to build a version with AA-C cup size soon. hope you enjoy!

[Atreyu]

Thanks for the awesome job. I play a khajiit and the skin got a bit messed up so I adapted the skin I made for the astridbody so it would fit this one.

 

If anyone is interested in my skin I'll upload it here:

 

 

 

I also added my modified armor to the mesh so that I can have that awesome body even with armor on.

I'll post some pics and the armor.

 

 

 

I'd love to be able to upload this to the skyrim nexus (my armor and my khajiit skin) but I wont do that if you dont want your mesh redistributed.

 

Love. That. Skin.

Thats music to my ears! A-cup and AA-cup are probably the most unpopular sizes for body replacers but thats about all I used in Oblivion for the games I actually player. I used other sizes for screenshots and such.

Thanks you for do this. Just downloaded it, and it's really an eye opener. I tried to add alpha property to the nocturnal mesh, but nifskope keeps inserting it at the root. Is there anyway we can make this work with alpha channels?

[Triratna]

@ Ofinfin and Triratna -- Well, maybe good news: I'm uploading my body mesh tonight to Nexus. I love the work that goes on here, so I want this place to be where I release first and get most of my feedback. A big reason I rushed to get this body made is so people can get busy making awesome clothes for it!

As far as what to call it, I've been calling it CBBE (Caliente Big Bottom Edition) or CBM (Caliente's Body Mod). Don't want to diminish the awesome work that HG and Exnem did (upon which my body is certainly based), of course, but adding the extra letters into the name might just be confusing

 

YES! MAGNIFICENT~! That's should bring megaton amount of compelling justice for the great & mundanes.

 

We can expect serious craft from the other tribe this week.

[Evilokami]

I tried this out today.

 

Heh if conflicted with 2pacs. Still had the hands with the nail polish. But it was easily changeable.

 

Thanks for this.

Maybe someone can upload this to some Japanese/Chinese/Russian boards?

And in Skyrim nexus, of course, the biggest international Skyrim modding place of all around... as long as no link to here is done, it would be OK I think. After all, living in the shadows has its good sides...

 

BTW, it needs a name... maybe SCHB (Slider's Controlled/Caliente HGEC Body)?

It's hard to announce that for asian modder party like Korean, Japanese or 'even' Chinese, Now that SHY-uploader is closing down.

Well, basically let me explain what you need to do, since you seem to be having some real trouble with that waist/hip...

 

I've had some experience with it, and I know how confusing this particular part can be.

 

Alright, this is what it looks like when you first import it into blender... Yeah, she looks like a real fatty. And that's probably gonna make you want to overcompensate (but don't!):

 

 

 

But that hip/waist ratio is NEARLY perfect. Here's what you do to the default mesh... First we highlight this area right here, all the way around the waist, just above the butt. Hit "O" to turn proportional falloff on, and hit s then the directional to make it just go in profile-wise and not up/down or left/right (my model is upside down or something for some reason, so I'm not sure what it'll be on yours; it's S Z for me. size along the z-axis). Once you hit SZ or whatever the axis is on yours, then you can use your mouse wheel to change the proportional falloff and you want it about like this:

 

Something about like this... it's made her a lot slimmer, and made her butt more round but so far we haven't touched the butt or hips at all (this is how you keep things anatomical).

 

Next we want to make her butt a bit more round, so we select around this area:

 

Same thing but reduce the falloff a bit, something like so:

 

Then go along the edges of the butt and just do GZ (grab on z-axis) and move them in or out a bit till you get something about like this:

 

At which point, that's basically a pretty nice round butt. Next we're gonna highlight around the waist here, where the hips have a dip between them and the ribs, like this:

 

Then we just s+x (size by x-axis) and move it in just a little, and we get a result like this:

 

And that right there is basically a near perfect hip-waist ratio and booty. Just slap your breasts on there, and you have an amazing body.

 

Anyways, I hope that helps.

 

P.S. Sorry if this was confusing. I kinda got confused and made too many images or something... xD...

@ XunAmarox

Isn't the lower back too arched? Then again, everybody has their tastes.

[Triratna]

Obse.. i mean skyse (skyrim script extender) is required for set body scripting into skyrim. Again we'll have to wait for skyrim CS release on 2012.1.1

Thanks to the pics you posted, I have to wipe the drool off my keyboard.

And here's how I'd ideally do the breasts & butt:

I didn't mean in the sense that it isn't realistic, more of a personal preference thing.

I like big butts, I cannot lie.

Haha, can't blame ya XD

[Jay1646]

I'll patiently wait for someone to do AGHGEC for skyrim

[Guest wnxmegax]

I don't know I like a little more meat on my girls but I see what your trying to get at more curvy look.

[skybird]

I got question: I am more a fan of normal boobs but there are some classes in the game I would love to see with a more 'enhanced' version like barkeepers and wenches. Is this possible at this stage or we need wait till January?

That wouldn't even depend on the body. You could just edit those two outfits to be all tits mcgee.

Wow, love it, it seems we have the same taste

[Caliente]

@Xun

Thanks for the detailed demo of what you're talking about

But:

 

That's my CBBE lowest weight mesh superimposed over your final picture. The hips to waist ratio is almost exactly the same! There is a slight difference on width of the illiac crest (approximately a 4% scale in the x axis to match yours), which gives yours a more realistic trapezoidal shape versus my circular shape, but its a very slight difference, and possibly unnoticeable in the game.

The butt and waist sizes line up almost exactly as well.

(There are more pronounced differences comparing the body as a whole, but that's expected, since you didn't modify those parts.)

 

I think perhaps there's a perceptual factor occuring, in the lit and animated game, the body doesn't look like it does in model form.

 

I think what you're really wanting is an updated idle animation. Bethesda has historically been HORRENDOUSLY BAD at making women stand and move like women. Skyrim is much better than previous games, but there's still a noticeable air of masculinity in the standing poses. Particularly, the hip bone should be rotated around the x axis by probably 2-5 degrees. This will arch the back and show off the butt better. Incidentally, this is also what the girls in your (terrific) pictures are doing ... They have natural bodies, but know how to pose themselves to show off their assets.

 

@ skybird: Xun is right, replacing the Tavenkeeer outfit will accomplish what you want -- Not any more diffcult than the Nocturnal Outfit I made.

 

--

 

In order to address some of the complaints about the skinny waist of my mesh, I've created a variant version that thickens the area a little bit. I don't think this will be to Xun's taste necessarily

I consider this a testing version, so I'd love to know what you all think. Further, there's an optional version within the package that sets the arms to their maximum vanilla size for those who don't like the skinny arms of my normal BBE replacer. It's a self contained replacement for my other body replacers.

 

I'm calling it the Natural Big Bottom Edition (NBBE) just to keep tacking on letters!

[XunAmarox]

Yeah.... hips are way too wide. Legs also need to be closer together.

[Caliente]

You mean on both models? Afraid I don't know what you mean...
