[Idea] HDT "model" ... pending new name?

[b00marrows]

I blew up in a thread recently asking blaab about a base body model.

I want a base body shape for collision with things like my tail (yeah i'm still working on it, groovtama has a gift coming soon)

 

If it is possible i want a base body shape that things can collide with. as my tail will have full movement, im hoping it will collide with the full body of the player and anyone around them.

 

Hopefully than I can finally whip people with my tail as a turn away in anger... yeah i always wanted to do that...

 

Yoo was kind enough to give me a floor and thigh collision lets hope yoo or someone elce can do the rest

 

 

BONUS QUESTION:

 

I was wondering recently... i have a mod that adds corpse collision where you can step on and walk over corpses (may sound morbid but i find it horrible warping through them...)

 

dose anyone know how the modder done this? did they use HDT??

1. HDT.xml or even skeleton.hkx once converted to xml format has entire full body collision data for you.

It's probably not going to work perfectly with your tail as you'd need to set it up so that butt collision/movement doesn't overlap with tail collision and the only way to confirm that is to use 3dsMax or be good at math.

 

As for the bonus, the guy explained he changed some sort of record in an .esp file to enable player collision with ragdolls.

No it doesn't use HDT (that mod was made well before HDT anyway), it uses the already built in havok collision that's inherent in the skeleton.nif (same data was copied over and ported to HDT for full body collision).

 

Skyrim has it's own havok world collision, that's used for things like registering hits from weapons onto actors and making sure you don't pass through walls and stuff.

 

HDT is just another instance of Havok collision world on top of the game's one. Their like 2 separate layers, they don't interfere with each other.

If done right the "HDT model" could help with things that collide with the body.

 

It could help with hair Collision

It could help with capes collision.

It would help with my tail (this is the main reason I want it )

Probably a few other mod i cant think of right now...

 

It could also maybe be a step forward for the "HDT penetration"? i wonder how it would work with the mouth and back of neck....hmm...
