BodySlide and Outfit Studio - out now!

[EvilReFlex]

It exports the obj with the wrong size, if I load an exported file to a open nif file in 3dsmax the exported mesh is tiny. 

 

Its not a big problem.

Ok, sliders sound cool, but I don't see how they can be better in most instances and here's why. I've converted hundreds of clothes/armors now and the only moving that ever needs to be done is either the old caliente/cbbe move (which you have covered as a button, thank you so much) or a huge value when the meshes are way out of whack like in the 120+ range. I can't recall having to move any pieces 2 4 5 or even smaller amounts, they are either lined up, way the hell out, or caliente offset. Anyway thanks for all your work

 

It's still useful. Even if they're off by 120, you can type that into the box and apply it. Then you can open the move dialog again and use the sliders for the accurate matching. I could make the sliders go from -120 to 120, but then they would be useless as you don't have any precision when moving them anymore.

 

Well that new "Apply Overall Skin Transform" feature from version 2.5 is immensely helpful. For example all those vanilla items floating up in the air are perfectly in place if you turn that off.

UUNP updates will be the next priority, I had to get this one out early, sorry. :/

[Shivalala]

Is it Christmas already? Thanks Cell!

I blame WoW 6.2 Or at least that's what will keep me busy for the next couple of weeks.

 

Well good job on the update, plenty of new good stuff

[ousnius]

BodySlide and Outfit Studio now scan all BSAs in the game data folder (with or without MO) for the textures, in case they can't be found as loose files, load them into memory and render them.

It takes only a second to scan all the file trees, which only happens once each session when attempting to load a BSA for the first time.

[ousnius]

Integrated the brush settings dialog into the main Outfit Studio frame as a collapsible pane.

Nice!

.... and thanks for the help on those boots. Things seem to be working fine now.

[Serithi]

EDIT: Alright, seems it really is an issue with one of them. Apparently something's buggered with the skirt, i can load it fine, but when i export it again it fucks it up. Ring any bells there instead?

 

Alright, got an issue here, asking in case it rings a bell for someone.

 

I'm loading up a couple meshes for a mashup, a cuirass and a skirt. Both load up separately in Nifskope and OS just fine, can load one and then the other to have both in the outfit just fine, can save just fine, and so on and so forth. Nothing going wrong at this stage.

 

It's only when they're both in the one .nif that everything fucks up. Can't load the mashup in Nifskope (errors out the wazoo), can't load it in OS (crashes), can't load it in the CK (CK hangs). I've tested this with literally plopping in the two meshes and saving without doing anything else, i've tested it with rebuilding skin partitions, etc.. For whatever reason, these two meshes together is screwing the .nif up something fierce.

 

Any obvious offenders off the top of anyone's head for what might be doing this?

Without the skirt NIF (before it's broken), I can't do anything.

[Serithi]

Without the skirt NIF (before it's broken), I can't do anything.

I've since decided to just use a different mesh since that one's buggered (i somehow got it loading in OS and Nifskope just fine, but the CK and game crash with it still, and i'm kinda outta ideas at this point :v), but if you want to poke around in it for S&G to figure out what went wrong, i'll shoot the mesh over to you.

[squart2203]

got some problems in outfit studio. had an outfit i'm converting but i think something's wrong when it comes to weight painting.

i've already got everything done, this is the second pass where i load up the .nif in shape data to edit the weight paints.

 

 

 

here i attempt to remove some unwanted weight paints on the ribs

i deselect the bone and reselect the bone, then this happens. large portion of R Breast's weight went missing

scale slider all messed up as well.

L Breast. weight copied at the same time as R Breast, but unedited.

 

 

 

was kind of wondering why the outfit i'm converting kept having inconsistent weights between base shape and armor mesh, perhaps this is related?
but that might also be problems on my part since some other outfit i tried to convert ended up with inconsistent weights as well, and that was with the previous version of outfit studio

[dTd]

Sometimes I've had to "set base shape" before editing weights will work as you expect.

[Claynation01]

Hi i am looking for some advice with fitting armor mesh to other body's in OS2 i have been following the tutorials by Cell who has been very helpful and patient thank you again Cell

so i am just looking for general advice and tips

 

just some notes

i will have to convert the armor to CBBE first then to my goal body MCBM.

so far i have gotten 2 from scratch practice versions in game and it did not blowup! also weight slider works.

not adding tbbp yet as i want to get the basic shape down first before doing more complicated things.

[darkconsole]

did you change the way weights are copied in 2.7a?

 

when i copy all weights in 2.7a, the result is terrible not even close, but when i did it with my old 2.5 the result was flawless.

 

copying weights off uunp special onto another i just converted.

Yeah, seconding that. Copying weights looks terrible and doesn't fully copy (misses stuff that's literally right there in the red), and conforming results in weird stretched messes.

[dTd]

I concurr, weight copying and editing is nigh on impossible. Also, going from CBBE to anything UNP related gives the whole chest area a weird twisting, and specifically to Dream Girl. Converting an outfit from UNP Perky to Dream Girl should be one of the easiest things to do, the shapes are damn near exact. Going through the normal process os UNP Perky to CBBE then CBBE to Dream Girl ends up in some weird distorted mess.

ah really love if this great mod for Oblivion too :3

Awesome, I've been trying to do a modified Crimson Armor, but I couldn't cause the damn weights weren't working.

[dTd]

Ok, there's still some issues with weight painting. The copying is superb, love that. But after you copy and go to clean up lets say the under arm areas, once you remove some weight it messes up that entire bone/mesh weighting. I'll explain a bit further: Upper arm weights always copy onto the torso in the underarm area, that part must not move when the arm moves otherwise there's pretty bad clipping. When all you do is remove some small spots under the arm, it messes up the enire upper arm weighting. Same for upper arm twist or even when cleaning up thigh weighting. As soon as you hand edit any of them, it all becomes distorted. I'll provide screenshots if needed.
