CBBE butt lines.

[Thorham]

Hi,

 

Does anyone know how to fix this ghastly 'butt lines' issue?

The picture is too small, you can not see the problem.

That's the CBBE uv map. Depends on many factors like having filters that softens the image (fxaa or aa) distance, resolution, and lots of things can make more or less noticeable how bad CBBE uv map is. It's like neck seams, you've got to try and dissimulate it.

That's the CBBE uv map.

Are there any good replacement uv maps that fix this?

[hryh23k9823u]

UV map is in the body, can't be replaced. Although the texture choice should help making the effect more or less noticeable. Im not sure about your pic it seems like the default CBBE texture, try another texture mod with more detail/realism maybe.

when I click on it is the out of it.

I think that picture size is enought to see the uv seams in the butt checks and ankles...

[Thorham]

Right, I mixed that up with normal map for some reason

I've tried a few, and they all show it. Some less than others.

Yeah, they're the default textures. Suppose it can't hurt to try a few more.

 

Guess we can only hope the body's author will fix this in the future.

[hryh23k9823u]

tbh I always used CBBE and most of the time I dont see/notice. From your pic it seems the graphic are lower than lower that won't help...

[winny257]

"Lother" I am an old man and my eyes are not "more" so well.  
I have used a Microscope and I could then see the stripes on the ass.  this is clearly a problem-texture.

[Thorham]

Settings are medium with reduced textures in 1920x1080. Should that really matter? For example, I've never had any issues with UNP.

[hryh23k9823u]

Reduces textures doesn't help at all in dissimulating texture issues ^^

UNP uv maps are better though, you may want to switch to unp bodies.

[hryh23k9823u]

Also you can wait for the 'Universal Body' release, it will be much better than cbbe and unp all together.

[Thorham]

Reduced environment/building/etc textures. I'm using the second highest CBBE resolution textures. However, even the highest resolution textures that come with CBBE 3.2 (65.5 MB diffuse map) don't fix this.

 

UNP uv maps are better though, you may want to switch to unp bodies.

 

I'm currently using that, but was looking at CBBE to have more options.

Sounds good, thanks.

I think if you set texture quality in low/medium (skyrim launcher) no matter the actual resolution of textures skyrim will screw them anyways. You should really use textures in hight no matter what, its not that performance hitting compard to shadows and it really the most defining elements of overall visual quality. Also long camera distance will make the uv seams more noticieable, at least for me.

I use medium textures to fix the purple meshes problem. Welcome to low-end computer land

The highest resolution CBBE texture doesn't even load if I set textures to high Second highest resolution texture loads properly, but the seams remain.

It sure does. When you zoom in, the seams go away completely. That would make you think it's a render issue, but even 3ds Max shows this problem. In fact, 3ds Max shows the problem extremely clearly.

But how many ram do you have to spare? Cause skyrim vanilla only can use 3.2gb without ENB Boost.

[Thorham]

But how many ram do you have to spare?

Four gigabytes.

 

Cause skyrim vanilla only can use 3.2gb without ENB Boost.

I would put in more RAM and use ENB boost, but with 32bit WinXP that just won't work, and since I'm quite broke, I can't upgrade to Win7/8. I actually bought this computer without an OS because I couldn't afford Win7/8 at the time, either.

[hryh23k9823u]

I always had 4 and no pink/black textures with enb boost, just recently 8 but still 4 better than 3.2 plus you can actually reduce memory usage (not only allow more) if you set enb boost to enable compression. I recommend you to use enb boost (not actually graphic enb modifications you can't run that, only the mem patch, management, compression) also SSME and maybe safety load too. As for the OS i dont think you need a 64bits not sure. Although, that thing about being broken to not upgrade OS is assuming sometihng I dont want to mention to not bother anyone here ^^

[Thorham]

Certainly worth looking at those options, but ENboost really does have to work with HiAlgoBoost. Without that, the game stutters, and I can't stand that. On my system, HiAlgoBoost changes Skyrim from unbearable (even at low settings) to properly playable, so that really has priority over EVERYTHING.

 

As for memory usage, wasn't the game somehow limited to just two gigabytes of RAM? ENBoost also mentions something like that if I'm not mistaken.

 

Thanks for the advice, looks like I've got some things to try. Perhaps I can improve how the game runs, which is actually much more useful than getting CBBE to look right

 

About your last comment (the broke part), I think I know what you're hinting at, but I would still have to get more RAM, and I can't even afford that at the moment

[hryh23k9823u]

Your best friend against stuttering is enb boost, although I know HiAlgo is very efficient... HiAlgo just lowers the game resolution, nothing really fancy... The good thing is that it does on the fly according to the fps needs. Anyway you can use both of course. All this memory patch should allow you to maybe use textures in 'high' and gain some fps I think... That should make the ass checks looks better.

[Thorham]

Didn't know that.

 

HiAlgo just lowers the game resolution

Not exactly. Even when I configure HiAlgoBoost to not lower the resolution, it still gets rid of the stuttering completely. I use the resolution lowering functionality for a nice FPS boost (especially useful during combat).

Great.

Okay, gonna try it.

[Thorham]

Tried it, and the butt lines issue has improved a lot. However, the performance dropped It's never easy, is it?

[hryh23k9823u]

Copy your enblocal.ini (spoiler it) maybe you have some setting wrong.

[Thorham]

There may indeed be something wrong. I just did what they said on the HiAlgoSite. I also read somewhere that HiAlgoBoost only works with ENB up to version 2.36 (which is what I used, because the current version doesn't with HiAlgoBoost here).
