AttributeError: 'Logger' object has no attribute 'errors'

I don't know if the directories for some of them are supposed to have the double slash.. but it appears nothing is being modified.

 

[myuhinny]

It shows you why with the last line **AttributeError: 'Logger' object has no attribute 'errors'**

 

There must be something wrong somewhere in the mesh that is causing that error to pop up.

 

Maybe try loading the nif into nifskope if you can and click the mesh then export it in .OBJ format this will remove all skinning and what not that is on the item. Next load it into whatever 3d tool you are using and scale it down to the correct size export the new mesh out and redo the texture paths and try to run it through mesh rigger again.

Which of the tools I must use to fixed UV maps?

 

Oblivion upperbody mesh with wrong UV map ( it's HGEC but "deformed" ) It does not reach the lower body UV map

That's the Seam Mender, although my luck with it has been variable.

[fejeena]

Seam Mender ? How ? I use Seam mender to fix gaps between nifs. There is no gap.

 

it is a color seam. The upperbody has no "original" HGEC UV map

It doesn't just fix gaps. You can use it to match UV maps, normals, and bone weights too. But as I said, I've had mixed results with it.

[fejeena]

But what settings? There is a search distance, how can it fix a whole UV map ?

 

here "copy skin only" and "search distance 100" Yes that's a upper and lower body

UV 2.jpg here "copy skin only" and "search distance 100" Yes that's a upper and lower body

You're right - I envisioned synching UV maps of two meshes, not repairing an entire map. There are a lot of good tools here, but not that one.

[varenne]

@ fejeena - if you have skill with Blender, it may be the quickest (I've had limited luck fixing UV issues in Blender).

 

Alternately UV Mapper is good but that would entail a little bit of a  learning curve.

I think that 100 is an exagerated value for search distance, that's why you got those odd results. Default is ten or something like that if I remember correctly. PM me the meshes, I should be able to fix the seam using Blender. Or you can learn to do it yourself, as explained in this useful post (jump directely to post #5 as it contains detailed step by step instructions).

[myuhinny]

There could be a flaw somewhere in the to or from file. I have had some nasty looking bodies before running them through these tools. Both in oblivion and skyrim. Some of the old bodies from one of the older set body mods has some flaws in them. One that I can remember off of the top of my head is one of the LAB bodies from one of the old set body mods.

i downloaded this for the mesh rigger , as i work on head editing only (femalehead.nif)

 

i used to copy and paste bsdismemberskin modifier and skin in 3d max from the vanilla to the 3d head that i want (same vetrices count /order) 

 

so i searched about this and it lead me to here , so can i copy the bones (bsdismemberskin modifier and skin) from a nif to another nif through this tool ?

am working on Citrus head so i want to copy its bones

Yes, copying bones is what this tool does. Good luck with it.

In this post, gerra6 says the following regarding use on skirts:

gerra6

 

The current iteration of Mesh Rigger can handle skirts reasonably well, although you have to be a bit careful with the settings (long search distance, override distance, high number of vertex targets)

 

For reference, how long should the search distance be and how high the vertex targets?

 

When saying longer or higher, I have no idea by how much.

I use the defaults of 20.0 and 1 and haven't had any problems.

For skirts? What are you using as the source mesh for the weights?

 

[Supierce]

Usually a similar skirt with the needed bones. Or similar dress.

Any examples? There aren't that many skirt meshes out there right? So it's possible the ones you've used will work for my case.

 

[Supierce]

ible the ones you've used will work for my case.

These aren't lore-friendly, but...

Oh... oblivion >_> Guess I can't use that then.

I just wanted to ask some of the experienced people around here about the Mesh Rigger.

The problem is that the resulting meshes still have some clipping and I don't know if it is because I did something wrong or because that is the best that it can be ??

 

Here is what I did: I Noticed some clipping near the butt in some clothes because I use an HDT body ... so decided to use mesh rigger to fix that .. So I opened Mesh rigger and loaded the reference both my body nifs the _0 and _1 ... and did't change any of the default values in the program then afterwards chose the butt bone for weight copying ... and left it to rig my clothes .  So the resulting nifs had less clipping but still there was a considerable amount of clipping in the butt area ... is that normal or can I do the rigging in a better way ?

I usually fix clipping in the Clothing Converter, using the custom option and adding padding to the areas that are clipping. When that's not an option, then for me it's pretty much trial and error. I usually produce something that works, but some meshes just clip horribly, especially with certain animations. Those I either abandon or live with the clipping.

[myuhinny]

@Amrovich

 

For skyrim stuff that is clipping if mesh rigger doesn't remove the clipping you could try using outfit studio's increase mesh volume option to increase the mesh in areas that are clipping or decrease the mesh volume of the body where the clipping is happening to try to remove the clipping. You would only have to do it to 1 nif and then redo it to have both _0 and _1 files again. The other option is to look at the spots that are clipping and then use outfit studios to zap out the body in the areas where the clipping is occurring just make sure that the areas are covered by cloth or you will get a holey body if any spots are not covered by clothing.

 

So just take say the _0 file and modify it with one of the 2 options listed above export the new version out and remake the _1 file.

[Amrovich]

Thanks Supierce and myuhinny for your helpful solutions <3 will try both of them ASAP

[idle]

Am I the only one who seems to be too stupid to use this tool?
I'm trying to add hdt to an armor and I get stuck at the point where you choose from the grid with the thousands of weights and bones (?).

What am I doing wrong?
