What body mesh should I use for SexLab's new default animation alignments?

That should cover the body parts. (Load the body first then the Fair skin over it. . How to the armors (default game ones) match up in size?. Do I need those as well ? If so what would be the basics. I find the skin you are telling me to use far better than the ones we currently have but not quite what I was looking for .. however a very good start. Perhaps they will grow on me. At least the Orc female looks more female.

 

Yes I put this in a spoiler. Somewhat on topic afterall it is a default animation body mesh page anyway. but still a spoiler would do it good

 

 

 

 

 

Yes install the body and then install the skin texture next. That way it over writes the skin texture of the body if it comes with one. As for armors there is a ton of armor mods, what happens if you don't use a armor mod is it changes the body to fit how the armor is suppose to look by default. So you want a armor mod so the body stays the same. Like if you use UNPB and then use UNP armor mod when you put on armor your character will have a UNP body, but when naked will have a UNPB body.

 

As for the skin, there is a lot of them I only mentioned the ones I have tired. Look around on Nexus and find the skin texture you like and use it. I just happen to like FSC mod but there is a tone of them. Mature ones, sweaty body, SG etc. It takes a bit of looking but you will likely find the skin texture mod you like.

 

 

 

So I take it that in game there isnt really a big change visually to mark the change over from the nude UNPB body to the UNP body r/t armors. Cool. Yea I will probably swap out a few skin textures and see which I like more. With MO I can have a different one for each play thorugh(profile)  I should also consider4 the XP skelliton as well with some default female walks .. if I understand it correctly FNIS should have gender specific animation settings (or honor the specific gender settigns) which is sooooo verrrrry coooool. If I understood that correctly.. lol

 

 

 

UNPB is just a UNP skinny body with bigger boobs. So if you use UNP armor your character will look a little heavier but easily explained by the way the armor would bulk her up and boobs would look smaller which would make sense as women would likely wrap their boobs anyways, a old fashioned sports bra concept.

 

Sexlab recommend xpms skeleton anyways so the animations work the best. It has 2.5 times as many bones as the default one giving a much greater range of movement. Also yes if you install anything like female walk, run animations then yes make sure to select the gender specific box in FNIS when you run it. Or you will have male and female animations mixed up for stuff like that. I use a few gender animations for running, weapons etc.

 

 

 

 

I thought the gender animations for women were in the xpms. lol. I guess I have to look for some of those as well. If this keeps up perhaps I need to create a thread.. I'll start getting cramps from creating all these spoilers  I am sure I will get this all sorted. It too a long time to get FNV the way I liked it and understood what was going on.. Skyrim will be nothing but the same.

Would it be difficult to have animation settings additions to sexlab that cover the most used combos out there, so if the base sexlab uses cbbe-sos average, you could download a file if you used upnp or sos muscular or some enormous dick variant or what have you? The controls for adjusting the scenes are rather difficult to use, and get weird at times.

 

I think what you are asking for is a "patch" for a specific aniamatoin and body. I guess it would be possible that you could download one and patch the sexlab mod with the adjusted animations. However working with animations is tedious and not very many here are very good at doing this. Then there are so many animations currently and more on the way that it would be almost a full time job to keep a few different sets animations for different bodies also it isnt' just the females that need to be adjusted it is the male animaitons as well. Any animation that interacts in a M>F act.

 

In reality when this is done I expect the only issues will be like some of the issues that arise with Sexout. slight floating hands or hips not bumping etc. Very minor if you choose a different body choice. Right now there is work being done on many aspects of Sexlab at once including new animations that  might be set up using different bodies and such.

Creating a new thread likely would be easier honestly.

@nutluck

If you are referring to my constant needs to set up my characters.. I agree. However I will do some looking on my own. Thanks for the guidance and ideas. Good base to start from. useful for newer members if they are interested in getting the best from Sexlab animations..

[nutluck]

Yeah I meant if you wanted more advice you would be better off starting a new thread for a few reasons.

 

1) More people will likely see it and give you a wider range of advice/choices.

2) More likely other newer people see it and it might help them too.

3) This thread is likely to eventually get locked since it really isn't needed anymore.

[RitualClarity]

Yep I got it...

Only reason I did post as much as I have so far here is basically because this thread is dead. Or better has fully served its purpose.

I actually only meant position defaults. Not that animations are changed, but the positioning information for actors in them. 

[RitualClarity]

Oh, just the actual default positions.. however that wouldn't fix the misalignment that could occur between animations and bodies not designed for the animation. Still a interesting though.

Not everything, no. I think the result would be an improvement on present situation, though. Easier to make than modifying animations. By far.

[RitualClarity]

That is something to think about. Perhaps someone can make a patch. Doubt Ashal will release one as Sexlab is already complex as it is (and large). That idea might justify a post to see if others are interested as well. I agree. If using other bodies from the "default" might just help when someone uses different bodies. I mention the fresh new post because the purpose of this thread has pretty much been completed.

Seems if someone went through all the animations for a body type and adjusted them. Then was able to save that date in a way it could be made into a file that could be installed it would work. Sexlab already has the ability to remember that now and save adjusts made. So it seems like making body patches that preadjusted for the user would be doable. Just not sure how one would save that information and then set it up so it would install.

If it is saving this data, perhaps the solution is already there? If that data is copied and then manually dropped into the folders or installed as a patch those adjustments could then be passed around to others that have the same body configuration.Then as needed fine tuning could be done and redistributed as needed. At least getting individuals closer and closer to a desirable results without having to "reinvent the wheel" .. interesting concept.

 

Where that file would be.. I have no clue... that is even if that info is indeed separate and in such a state that it can be extracted to be distributed.

[nutluck]

My understanding and granted I could be wrong, but my understanding is yes sexlab remembers your adjustments for next time. Which suggests it is saved somewhere. I just have no idea how or where it is saved.

[RitualClarity]

It would be our luck that it is saved in the save files. lol. I guess only the SexLab master Ashal can tell us where it is hiding.. .

The words you are looking for are "Animation Profile" as indicated in the MCM Menu, the folder to find them in is

 

~data\skse\plugins\StorageUtilData\

I'd like to vote for SoS as it's the most versatile when it comes to cocks atleast, but apparently there are some issues so I've been sticking to using the SL skin option for erections. Otherwise, I personally like the Sundracon body meshes as it's mostly vanilla with a nude option thrown in.

So that means that people can pass around their setups?

 

I would give you two reps for that answer but I can only give one..

Don't do CBBE... I find UNP and adaptations of UNP to be nice. CBBE and UNP are the only ones I've tried.

 

I think UNP has a much more feminine, seductive profile. CBBE, however, is better designed for bbw in my opinion. (for that matter, I don't care what body you use, once the boobs reach a certain size it's ridiculously ugly. Clipping, stretching, mis-aligned normal maps, all sorts of problems happen. I know there are also mods made to *TRY* to fix that phenomenon, but I've seen the screenshots and they still look weird.

 

Uhm, so answer: UNP for sleek, and skinny. CBBE for fat bitches- *eh-hemm*. Otherwise, I wouldn't know. (When I first got SexLab I used CBBE, but when I found UNP and tried it, it stole my heart. Uhm, and my "lower heart" if you understand what I mean.)

 

 

SoS works well with SexLab Aroused; as a man gets horny, his penis becomes more erect. IMO, the muscular version looks ridiculous / ugly, so go for regular. If you REALLY want it, they do have a smurf dick addon. I've all three, I should remove the smurf cus wtf? I could also remove muscular. Oh, without SexLab Aroused a penis should be flaccid until sex begins. I believe there are plenty of settings to mess with it, now, too, including making penises super large, or have random sizes, etc... (also effects creature dicks)

 

 

 

 

You're never going to find a body type that aligns with all animations. I love when animations do line up, but it doesn't seem to be something I can guarantee to happen; it just happens. It's the saddest fact about the SexLab. We all have to come to terms with it.

[AlericoftheNords]

I think everyone voting -other- than UNP is forgetting that Devious Devices are defaulted to UNP.

 

Anything else requires conversion.

LOL.. I will give your second rep now for the post above that I wanted to give you 2.. .. The post that was over a YEAR OLD...

I like UNPB for its simplicity of installation and appearance; but, CBBE HDT has a lot to recommend it.  I hate toons with gigantic boobs, and I can get even better results with CBBE-HDT/Bodyslide than I can with UNPB/Racemenu (even if the naughty bits look a bit weird on CBBE).
