BodySlide and natural shapes: Anyone finding it difficult?

You made quite the valiant stab at it, but dude you know how these things go . . . your boobs, on the right, are . . . off. My specific complaint in general that 2pac agreed with was the underboob shape. Yours is close, but noticeably splayed out to the sides. Probably only 2% difference, but GODDAMMIT MY TITS HAVE TO BE FUCKING PERFECT.

 

Sorry if I got defensive, but Ya you are right. It is possible to get pretty close. My outfit mod is still fully compatable with regular cbbe though. I can see where you are coming from, if everyone just started making custom sliders it would get messy real fast.

 

I dunno about that. . . your sliders are contained in a group and are pretty specific. If other authors did theirs like yours, it wouldn't necessarily be a mess. The only thing anyone could do would be to make the very pedantic request for a "prettier" or "better" way to hide slider groups.

 

OBTW. where did you put the Single Weight VanillaFO4 slider? I've put mine at 50%. That seems to work out well enough in game.

 

i keep mine at 0%.

and then where do you triangle in game?

 

How does it look on the various weight npcs in game?

the very center, npcs seem to look ok, i havent seen anything weird looking

Anyone finding it as difficult as I am?

 

In the skyrim version, the default shape was rounded and if you wanted a weighty shape you had to make it. In this version a weighty shape seems default and if you want a rounder  shape you have to make it . . . and I can't seem to find the right control to do it. (round out the bottom of the breast).

 

For example, as breast grow, shaping starts to square/flatten out at the bottom and splay out to the side automatically. and I'm not even talking about the absurd super silly huge sizes either. 

 

All of the major areas seem to be the same way in that BS seems opinionated about a default shape, as opposed to the previous version that had controls with more freedom.

 

Anyone else seeing this?

 

Yes...

 

I would like something like bodyslide, but with some additional coding ... but I only have a rough idea of how it would need to work.

 

One thing I would like has to do with surface normals. A basic "resize" should be able to grab onto the normals of the body surface and scale relative to the distance from the body surface along the appropriate normals. But getting the right normal for each vertex looks like it would be a very time consuming task (because meshes are different ... and maybe bone weights need to be considered? My idea seems iffy for joints under the arm, for example but maybe if I could figure out how to extract animations and then work through what would have to be done to keep body volume constat or nearly constant through the animations, that would work???).

 

Anyways, I sort of feel like if I could work out how to do that much it would be clearer to me how to do things like body reshaping. Though, honestly, that's really about approximating anatomy (and also approximating the conventions of artists, since some things we think of being attractive are sort of impossible in real life).

 

Of course, that's all a lot of work - possibly years of work - and I imagine I would have to abandon parts of my ideas to make the other parts work...

 

But... you asked?

 

Yes, the bodyslide tools feel clumsy, to me. But they seem better than any other tools I have for some adjustments, and it's really my fault for not understanding things well enough to actually make things work how I would like.

I know what you mean man, but again it took me literaly 2-5 minutes tweaking, 2% difference its just autism... That you can correct in Bodyslide too! Btw let me be clear I wasn't critizising 2pac at all just trying to point out that Bodyslide alone its quite more versatile than it seems at a first glance.

 

On an extra note those boobs are far from perfect if you're all for "natural shapes", they look like a radioactive edition of SevenBase. Perfect (big) boobs are something like this:

 

 

LOL, jk I know its a matter of taste, just wanted to share my current preset

 

 

Really like the preset you use. Don't suppose you could share it?
