Question about the 4x & 8x nipples on the DOAHDM textures

[MiriamGarrity]

So I was looking at trying to enhance the resolution of the nipples on the DOAHDM skins by & @osiri and I noticed there are actually 2 nipples on the body image - one says 4x and one says 8x.  

 

I tried editing the 8x one but nothing changed in game (not in a fight or in Beach Paradise movie mode, not when zooming in really close with the camera...)  Does anyone here know: is the 8x version of the nipple ever used?

 

Thanks!

No, it's not for HDM. A good way to tell is looking at the texture viewer in LR Photo Studio. You can bring it up by right clicking the model and selecting the option:

 

 

The 8x nipple is used in the original OSIRI model, which HDM is mostly based off of (check the logo in the upper left).

Aha, that makes a lot of sense, thank you! I wasn't aware of LR Photo Studio, I'll see if I can find that somewhere, thanks! Maybe I'll try moving the UVs for the DOAHDM model to the larger area... more texture density can only be a good thing, right?

Haha this is where you surpass me, my child. The UV stuff looks so unbelievably complex and delicate it scared me right off the first time I tried watching a tutorial. I need to learn it one day though.

Yeah, bad UVs can completely mess up a skin, create all kinds of seams, etc.

 

The only reasons I think I may be safe with the nipples are:

 

1) There's alpha around the nipple to help it blend into the skin

2) There are existing UVs for the nipple in Osiri's skin... though if the mesh is very different, that probably won't help me much... heh

 

I'll give it a shot sometime and see.  I have grander plans right now (trying to get one of my original character models into the game...)
