New Clothing Body Style Converter Beta v0.89f (10-26-2014)

[foreveraloneguy]

Tried another set of meshes. Got the following error:

That at least is something, as before updating to .89g, mesh rigger was just bombing on the mesh with no indication as to why. Here's the nifs... My guess would be it's due to the fact that this mesh has a ton of  bits in it.

 

bondage.7z

[gerra6]

That's a very nasty error. Sounds like a corrupted nif.

 

I'll see what I can see, once I finish testing some unrelated code.

[myuhinny]

I added TBBP to the _0 bondage body and the body actually changed after it was done. 

 

It never crashed or threw out any error other then the body changing and all that I had selected was the BBP bones the nif went from 4,949 to 6,401.

Are you using the portable version or 64 bit and the scripts?

[myuhinny]

Oops I never looked at the thread I thought it was the mesh rigger thread. I used the newest version of the mesh rigger  to add the TBBP haven't tried it in the clothing converter I still have the .85 build of that. Portable Package 0.85a (Recommended) is the one I'm using.

[gerra6]

The download links for Mesh Rigger and Clothing Converter on http://kgtools.org/actually download the same files.

 

No need to grab both.

[myuhinny]

I downloaded that the other day I just didn't let the clothing converter part overwrite anything.

 

I tried the bondage_0 body in the clothing converter and got no errors and I converted it from whatever body size it is to UNP slim. 

 

[foreveraloneguy]

So .85a is weighting the mesh it successfully? Do I understand that correctly?

[myuhinny]

I ran it through the .85a build it converted without any problems or errors and no body/armor glitches. Not sure if it is weighting it correctly or not as I'm not sure how to look to see if it is weighted correctly. This is the one that I converted to UNP slim.

 

cuirass_0.nif

 

[Monsto Brukes]

I built a lattice with an earlier version, 89e.

 

was running that lat with 89g and got this error:

you prob didn't need the whole traceback, but i wanted you to see that it occurred right at the beginning of the processing the next mesh of the set which happens to be named *_gnd.nif. Uncommon, but not unique.

 

here's the set and the lats.

 

lats.zipheartsong.7z

[foreveraloneguy]

I ran it through the .85a build it converted without any problems or errors and no body/armor glitches. Not sure if it is weighting it correctly or not as I'm not sure how to look to see if it is weighted correctly. This is the one that I converted to UNP slim.

 

cuirass_0.nif

 

Very odd. I reinstalled .85a, and mesh rigger just crashes out with no errors right after I select the BBB bones.

[gerra6]

Very odd. I reinstalled .85a, and mesh rigger just crashes out with no errors right after I select the BBB bones.

Well, I just went ahead and ran it through the latest dev build of Mesh Rigger (pretty much the same as the version on http://kgtools.org/)

 

No errors. However, that mesh had a truly amazing number of vertices, so the surface search was *incredibly* slow.

 

Anyways, here's what I did.

 

1. Strip off all of the extra meshes from the cuirass_0.nif and rename it template_0.nif.

2. Run Mesh Rigger. Copy the BBB weights from your unpb_awesome_0.nif nif to template_0.nif. UV Search is enabled.

 

That gives this: template_0.7z

 

3. Run Mesh Rigger. Template: template_0.nif. Targets: cuirass_0.nif and cuirass_1.nif

4. Wait. Forever. And then keep waiting. Damn, that nif has a lot of verts. Keep waiting. Go watch a movie. Come back.

5. Check the output folder.

 

output.7z

 

They look pretty solid in Nifskope. No signs of deformations or other issues that I can see.

 

Try them out in game and see how they do.

[foreveraloneguy]

dad frabbin nabbit... I guess I'll try deleting and  reinstalling then? If it works for everyone else, it's got to be something in my set up.

[foreveraloneguy]

Ah, one more thing... I think this is related to you adding the option to tell the windows not to close until the user presses enter... This was after deleting everything, then extracting .85a, then overwriting with .89f.

[gerra6]

Could you post the log file from that. I'd like to get an idea of what the settings were, and exactly what the tool was trying to do.

There ya go.

[gerra6]

I can't seem to replicate that error on my end.

 

Try swapping the convert_clothing.py file with this one: convert_clothing.7z

 

Let me know if that works OK.

[foreveraloneguy]

The error is a bit different. I'm starting to think python knows about my growing affair with C++ and hates me for it.

 

On a completely separate note, I'm running Win8 x64. Not sure if that makes a difference or not, but I'm wondering why I get different results than others when I run these tools.

 

I also went ahead and tried a full python 3.3 install with the light scripts to see if that made any difference. It didn't... same error I originally reported.

 

 

[gerra6]

Well, my primary testing environment is Python 3.4 64 bit on a win 8 machine.

 

I'm doing some final testing on the next update to clothing converter, the one with the automatic cleavage crash option.

 

Assuming it passes the trial, I'll post it for testing and see about tracking down your bug.

[foreveraloneguy]

How did you get pyffi running on 3.4? The last version I found only supported up to 3.3. And 3.3 is the latest version from your OP instructions.

[gerra6]

Drag and drop.

 

Basically I copied the pyffi files into the appropriate folders in the Python installation folder. That's also how I managed to get Pyffi working with the portable installation

 

Basically copy the pyffi-looking files from the Scripts and the lib\site-packages\pyffi folder to their equivalents in 3.4

[gerra6]

OK, Clothing Converter 89.g is now live at http://kgtools.org/

 

This includes an option to automatically generate and use a complex 2-step lattice.

 

The net effect should be identical to the method outlined here: http://www.loverslab.com/topic/27557-new-clothing-body-style-converter-release-candidate-v085a-10-04-2014/?p=960799

 

Instead of needing to run all of those extra steps to manage 'cleavage crash', just enable 'Two Step Lattice' with x-axis constraint when running Make Lattice.

 

To control how the two step lattice is applied when running Clothing Converter, select the appropriate material type from the 'Use Alternate Constraints' options, or enable 'customize meshes' and enable alternate constraints on individual meshes.

[ger4]

Making a lattice with the latest version, with 2-step enabled, I got this error

Also, when applying the generated lattice to clothing, I don't notice any improvement in the cleavage crash using the 2-step lattice.

PS - After more testing, I also get this error when I tried to enable mesh customisation during the clothing conversion process

Also, did you manage to make any progress on fixing underboob clipping?

 

Cheers

[cobme]

Hey again gerra6, it took me a while to get myself some free time to test the newest version with the meshes I was trying to convert.

I downloaded version 0.89h and retried the process but the result was still wrong -

 

 

 

 

I have no idea if I'm doing something wrong, or maybe missing a stage in the process...

For your convenience, here are the meshes I tried to convert, and the body types I made the lattices from -

 

FullPink.nif

(from) body.nif

(to) body.nif

[foreveraloneguy]

I think you mean .89h I'll give this a go. Found an armor giving me even greater fits running through the converter. I can get it looking sort of right if I constrain both x and z axes, but then the body doesn't convert well. I'll give this a go after I get home from work and see if the 2 step does a better job. I was trying it manually last night and still not getting good results. The _1 converts pretty well, but the _0 is... not good. Not good at all. 

 

On a related note, I think that bondage mesh that was crashing rigger was a memory issue with the 32 bit portable version. I saw python get up a bit over 4 gig while weighting the mesh now that I'm running the 64 bit version. Didn't take that long on my machine, either. About 10-15 minutes total for both _0 and _1.
