At the end of my rope trying to get body physics to work

[timmodude]

I'm playing AE (1.6.1170) and I thought I had all the necessary files to enable body physics.

XP32 Maximum Skeleton Special Extended

Faster HDT-SMP

CBPC Physics with Collisions

CBBE

CBBE 3BA

 

But when I view my character in 3rd person I don't see anything bouncing or moving at all.  I've tried FNIS, Pandora & Nemesis.  Sex Lab seems to be working fine.  I'm just totally lost as to why I don't see the body physics.  Do physics only apply when wearing physics enable clothes and not nude?

 

Help?

 

I feel stupid because I had a character that worked perfectly but decided to upgrade to Anniversary Edition and start over and deleted all the files for that character.

Physics apply to the armors (naked body is armor) that have weightpainting for the nodes that the physics preset is configured for.

None of these have anything to do with physics. You forgot BodySlide, which is usually key to making the meshes that are physics-enabled.

I don't know why it clicked this time, because I swear I've done it previously, but It's fixed now.  I do have BodySlide, and I've tried creating the meshes in the past, but it worked this time.  I probably just didn't select the correct body in the past. 

 

Thanks for helping my brain work better this time.

correct Bodyslide body (mesh) OR.. correct Bodyslide body preset (definitions and directives)...

 

Not all presets are the same. One type (CBBE preset) may  only be usable with CBBE. another with BHUNP, another with UBE, another with CBBE-3BBB, another with 3BA v2, etc...

 

They may look similar in the application ("Pretty Girl", "Slim" etc,) and they're often not spelled out as being made for this or that body type  (Ie the name may not state that it is meant for CBBE/UNP/UUNP/BHUNP/CBBB-3BBB/CBBBE_3BA v1/v2, etc etc)

 

Bodyslide preset and Bodyslide body are pairs. and they need to be matched 1:1 for "proper" results..

 

Example. Say you have a CBBE-3BA v2 body...

 

Therefore, you need a CBBE-3BA v2 preset to produce the expected outcome in Bodyslide during build.

 

If you choose a CBBE preset instead, you've now just gimped the 3BAv2 mesh build, since all of the node and slider definitions needed by the 3BAv2 mesh don't exist in the CBBE preset to fully cover the CBBE-3BA v2 body spec. (that is, you might still get the boob size right, since they both share the same spec for that Breast size", but other important stuff that 3BAv2 has is gone, missing, not there)
