Cannot get futa color/textures to match body

[davajustclick]

Hello I can't get the schlong to match the color/texture of my body. I'm using the TNG futa addon (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/113455 ) and the assorted texture patch. I have tried to solve texture conflicts and chose all the correct options in the texture patch fomod. Not sure how else to solve this, please help.

I have run into this before as well. The answer that I have found is... complicated. Or is if you don't have photoshop, photoshop skills and patience. The problem is pretty obvious. The skin texture of the penis is slightly different from the body. Well the only solution I found was to MAKE the penis texture match the body. To do so you will need something akin to or Photoshop with the Intel DDS import/export plugin.

 

You'll need to import in the body texture and the texture for the penis.

1.) Take a large rectangular selection of the body texture that is free (as much as possible) of shadows or creases and copy it.

 

2.) Then you'll paste in in a new layer on the penis texture. The selection needs to be large enough to cover the whole edge of the penis texture that comes in contact with the body, i.e. the base of the shaft and base of testicles.

 

3.) Then you can use the eraser or a mask with a brush set to 0% hardness to fade back the edge of the body skin selection so that it 'blends' with the penis texture.

 

4.) Once you are happy with the blending of the two texture layers on the penis texture, export the texture with the Intel DDS plugin. You'll need it set to DXT5 for the compression format.

 

5.) Boot up skyrim and see what it looks like. In theory it should be a perfect or near-perfect match because the base of the penis is the same texture as the body. Technically the normal map is still different so some of the appearance may still be different but that it is a whole 'nother can of worms to get into.

 

I apologize if this comes across as complicated, overwhelming or confusing. While it is a solution that I have found that works for me, I am sure I would never have endeavored to try to do this if I did not already have Photoshop and were not already very familiar with using it. Apart from this, I am not sure there is much you can do. Fundamentally the textures of the two meshes are different and unless something changes that then there will always be that visual discrepancy. I might suggest that you just try to learn to live with it if you can but if you can't I certainly would understand.
