SMP Head HPH or UBE

[diba]

Hello, I'm trying to "convert" a head from a UBE follower, but I can't find the correct UBE sliderset. When I use the transfer select weight from the [Predator] High Poly Head (SMP).osp, I get the error "the vertex count of the reference and chosen shape is not the same".
I managed to convert HPH followers without problems and they work perfectly, but I couldn't convert UBEs. What am I doing wrong? Is there a specific sliderset required for it to work?

Hi, for UBE you need the UBE head, you wont use the "add project" instead go to the import then import nif, go to the UBE folder in my mod install, and find the UBE female head there, then you transfer the weights as in the video, and usually is that only, you wont need to edit the xml too since UBE does not change the head names in game.

Hello. I followed your tutorial to add lip physics to the character head model. The lips on the character in the first image do have physics enabled, but their positioning is messed up and they fail to wrap around the penis. The physics on the second image work perfectly normally. I performed the exact same steps for both, yet the results are different. Could you tell me why this happens, and how I can fix the misaligned lip issue seen in the first image?

Hi, the fist one might have a "already" edited head, thus with diferen vertex order, so the transfer might not work in that case, you would need to compare visually the weights from that head to the default smp head, see if they look the same in both... unfortunately if that is the case, fixing would be a little complicated.

Thanks for the reply, I managed to transfer the values to the faces of the UBE NPCs following the instructions and it still doesn't work, but it works on the player, I'm trying to figure out what the problem might be. Thanks for the help anyway.

Hmmm, maybe you forgot to add the "nistring for the XML" inside the NPC heads? usually you dont need to edit the XML, but the nistring needs to be there.

I followed this step, and in this case, the head I edited also has a different name than the standard UBE, so I also edited the XML. I tested it on other UBE followers as well, without success.

您好，第一个模型可能已经编辑过头部，因此顶点顺序不同，所以这种情况下迁移可能无法正常工作。您需要将该头部的权重与默认的SMP头部进行目视比较，看看它们是否相同……遗憾的是，如果是这种情况，修复起来会比较复杂。

Thank you for the reply. Is it possible to fix it? Can you make a tutorial video? This effect looks too uncomfortable. If possible, I still want to make this effect work normally.

I took the UBE head from J_Gon and transferred the bones from it to the COTR head in OutfitStudio.
In NifSkope, I specified the path to HP_HEAD.xml (NiStringExtraData). 
Added the my COTR high poly head in HP_HEAD.xml (00DZ_FemaleHead_0013 in my case)
I tested the COTR and COTR high poly head. Physics works. It's not always perfect. But it's better than nothing, I guess. 

What "UBE Head from J_Gon" are you reffering to? I can't make a transfer from ube head to cotr - they have different verticles count and shape. I tried to copy to cotr only new bones from UBE SMP, then i did some weights edits, and overall smp physics on cotr head works fine, BUT i have weird artifacts on cotr head - there are buggy stretches, weird shadings, you can see mouth through head. Something breaks when i copy bones from UBE head to COTR head. There is something i have to do in outfit stuido, but i have no idea what. Can some one help???

Strange, looks all correct  to me, maybe the  head is not being loaded....

Hmm you would need to normalize the weights and edit the wrong color parts, no easy if not familiar or never did something similar.

Before i my own version to UBE, jgon did a port to UBE, althoug now with this one you should just use this one insted doing the same, the easy way is the transfer for a same head, if not a same head, like you saying cotr you WILL need to manualy fiz bunch of parts on the mouth since outfit studio is good, but cant make miracles with weight copying.

Hi, well this is with other mods like sex lab, or PPA if you are using, try editing the expressions in PPA expression sistem, and if you are using my PPA preset you need to edit that one, not the default, this is normal.... a preset wont be good for everything out there, and your char might have way above normal edited sliders for the sculpt, so adjusting it to your char is normal.

I'm a complete novice at this, can you at least roughly tell me which preset or file name I need to edit. I use PPA and SL. Thanks for the help)

嗯，你需要对权重进行归一化并编辑错误的颜色部分，如果你不熟悉或者从未做过类似的事情，这并不容易。

I'm definitely a beginner when it comes to model editing, but if there are editing tutorials, I'd be more than happy to learn. I was wondering if you have time to produce a conversion tutorial? Of course, if it's too much trouble, I guess I'll just have to give up on it with regret.
