This is no texture issue. Nor is it a mesh issue. The magic word here is "Skinning". The 2 meshes are assigned different skin modifiers, which are apparently not very compatible, and cause clipping - that means that they are intersecting.

 

You'd have to tweak the skinning of one of the meshes for this issue not to happen. An easy way would be to go to frame 10, and auto-key the legs upward (so it looks similar to the sneak position). Then paint/tweak the weights on the problematic vertices until no clipping occurs, then simply delete the animation keys and export again.

 

If you want to make sure there's no more clipping, you can always import the animations (idle, sneak, etc.) into 3ds max and check it.

Thank u so much for the input, now is fixed thanks to u man, :heart:

Glad I could help

Any chance we could see (or download) the final result? Looks pretty good from your first screens!

[ecchiless]

Sure thing, im only doing the gloves and the boots for the set, btw i was following a guide to make stand alone stuff, but skyedit dies on me every single time >_<, and when it work i just can make it right, the damn esp doesnt load the armor in the forge D:

 

PS this is th guide i was using http://pastebin.com/tRcCS538 <--is that right or im missing something¨? xD

[Handelo]

Don't have much experience with SkyEdit, but if you're experiencing crashes besides the other issues, it could be that your version is bugged. Check to see if there's a newer version, maybe?

[ecchiless]

Greats news handelo, check this http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/imageshare/image.php?id=37265 maybe i can upload it this saturday. ^^

[Handelo]

Great! Looking forward to it.

Also good to see I'm not the only one looking forward to it (judging by the nexus comments) - This thread looks more like a PM log lol.

FYI, all your texture paths in the .NIF files are

 

"c:\program files (x86)\..."

 

When it should just read the path from

 

"textures\..."

 

Example: "c:\program files (x86)\the elder scrolls v skyrim\data\textures\armor\tona\airy-lily\hotpants_black.dds" should only be "textures\armor\tona\airy-lily\hotpants_black.dds". Notice there is no backslash at the start of the paths.

[Handelo]

Wouldn't have missed this

There's only one issue that's bothering me - backface culling. Both the armor and the boots are slightly wider than the body, which isn't bad, but when you look inside you can see through them, since the faces that are facing away from the camera aren't being rendered.

 

I'm positive there was a way to turn that off somewhere in Nifskope... *looks at tutorials*... *rummages through all NifSkope properties*... Argh, but for the life of me I can't find it!

It's definitely somewhere within the BSLightingShaderProperty though. I've solved it by copying this branch from another, non backface-culled nif and replacing the textures with your original ones. You'd have to do that for all the meshes though.

 

P.S. The model will still appear culled in NifSkope, you only see the difference in the game.

 

Edit: Here's the problem before and after the fix. Note the sleeve and collar. The same happens with the boots and pants:

 

Backface Culling:

 

 

 

No Backface Culling:

@Don Caballero

 

Noted, gonna change that in the next update, thanks.

 

@Handelo

 

Any vanilla armor would be ok?

[ecchiless]

Lol i change the path in textures and now my game crash when i try to load a save xD

 

Edit: Yay no more crashing, but still the same effect in the boots and dress , could u share the nif that fixed handelo?

[Handelo]

Well, I used one from another version of an Airy armor, actually. I'll PM it to you, since I don't feel like hunting down the credits and sharing it openly lol.

[ecchiless]

Busy week, so the next update is delay it, gonna try to fix "everything" is this update.

 

PS I wanna a new job ;_;

[guilmonex]

By adding a NiStencilProperty to the boots will make it show the interior faces, that should do it.

By adding a NiStencilProperty to the boots will make it show the interior faces' date=' that should do it.

I used the double side in the shader tags and is working now, but i need to fix some vertex, cause the weight or is too much or too little and to be honest i dont use max a lot, im more a c4d guy, and i do more architectual stuff, so no bones no weights ^^, still many thanks for the tip.

 

Cheers o/

[guilmonex]

I don't use max at all, just know something about maya and nifskope.

 

Waiting for the release! XD
