Outfit Studio, trials and tribulation! Help... please...


Recommended Posts

Posted

Ok I'm asking here in hopes some one can help me! I am totally new to outfit studio, I have watched the tutorial videos, read the tutorials AND i just don't get how some people convert these things so nicely I use slim default body which tends to be very far from most clothes created on loverslab.

         visa a vi the Outfit studio I have learned how to load a new project etc conform all set slide to 100 set base shape etc... whatever that actually does dunno... then I have got to use brush tool to increase decrease mesh to fit my slim preset whatever! Here is where I really run into an issue, I get the whole concept but With things like Zenna PantyHose (which I for example really would love to get in my game) the Mesh is quiet different from slim so when I brush it down, things get all wobbly distorted and distended, because there is so much mesh that it cant really get slimmed down to my body without a bunch of extra mesh getting all messed up, Yet I see people posting in the post section that have obviously managed to do just that, and I am just so confused and frustrated! Because apparently no one has a tutorial explaining anything near what I would like to do, and how to manage it properly.

 

example 1 of original pantyhose

index.php?app=downloads&module=display&s

example 2 of some ones conversion

blogentry-39987-0-25667400-1461479527.jp

 

       Now of course these body shapes are a bit closer than the original and the slim, but still the mesh in that conversion is so perfect, and really I have no idea how they managed that without getting the distorted extra mesh, the thighs for example are still much much slimmer than the original. Ok soo if you have read this far, IM super sorry about coming off as hella whiney, but I am ripping my hair out here, I have spent at least 2 or 3 days multiple hours trying to pour over every tutorial I can find, and testing it, and repeating on different outfits, and I.. Just... don't get it!

 

Alright PS if anyone can help me, I love you forever long time, K thanks!

      Btw I am cross posting in technical support, and Zenna pantyhose post, just in case, I don't even know if technical support is the right place for this, sorry! Been long time lurker.

First of all, make sure you're using the latest version of CBBE and Outfit Studio / BodySlide.

 

 

 

 

 

You say you're using the CBBE default slim preset so I'm assuming that you're already built you character's body using the "CBBE Body" option in Bodyslide. "CBBE Physics" doesn't work right so if you used that option, rebuild using "CBBE Body". The next step would be to use that SAME preset and build your outfits, whether they be Zenna's or from any other mod. There's really no need to go into Outfit Studio unless you notice some clipping when you use the BodySlide preview window. That's when you would use the brushes to fine tune the outfit mesh to the body you're using. Zenna's outfits are made very well and I've never had to tweak them to fit my toon.

 

Remember, for now, you should use the SAME preset that you built your body with to build the outfits. 

 

As you become more familiar with BodySlide and Outfit Studio, you can experiment with the "(Outfit)" type presets.

 

If you find that you're always going into Outfit Studio, especially with Zenna's outfits, you're doing something wrong. All you have to do is build them in BodySlide and you'll be good to go.

 

 

EDIT: Also, from your post, you're sayimg that you're going into Outfit Studio and, I quote:

 

 

" visa a vi the Outfit studio I have learned how to load a new project etc conform all set slide to 100 set base shape etc... whatever that actually does dunno... then I have got to use brush tool to increase decrease mesh to fit my slim preset whatever! Here is where I really run into an issue," etc etc etc.

 

 

The tutorial you're following is actually showing you HOW to give an outfit BodySlide support BUT that's unnecessary in your case because Zenna HAS ALREADY DONE THAT FOR YOU. All you need to do is build / batch build the outfits in BodySlide. Outfit Studio is unnecessary in this case.

You know what I finally found a video that showed me how to do the Build batch thing etc, I had no idea about that whole thing, On CBBE and Body slide page none of the tutorials are clear about it I actually don't know if one mentions it, anyways like I said I found some random video that explained it last night by pure luck and yea... So relieved, either way I appreciate the response and trying to help me :) But problem solved!  So far.... 

 

[Edit] you know what if its alright to link videos here I'll post it in case anyone else has the same problem and ends up here somehow... (in the second half it explains about getting clothes to fit the CBBE bodies)
