SmedleyDButler Posted September 15, 2017 Posted September 15, 2017 I've been trying to convert some UNP armours to Vanilla Long story, but essentially it's because I have the NPCs as Vanilla to accommodate certain overhaul mods I like, such as Credo, and use Custom Races to give my own character a UNP body. Anyway, I'm trying to expand some of these overhauls I use and since they all use vanilla assets I'd rather change 2-3 armours to Vanilla than to try to change dozens and dozens to UNP. The problem is that when I run the armour converter, it screws up badly in two places 1) The boobs. It cuts the tits ends off, such that I get "Boob frustums" (which is funny as hell, but doesn't solve my problem) 2) Above the crotch (and corresponding small of the back), gets really warped. The second one isn't so bad because I can usually reimport the skirt or corset or pants or whatever was covering that area and make them work. But the first is unsolveable. I've tried converting from UNP regular and UNP slim and set up my lattices properly as far as I can tell, but always end up with a wonky end body and outfit. Anyone have any ideas? Are there individual settings I could tweak to prevent this? Is this something Outfit Converter simply can't do and it has to be done in Bodyslide? Thanks!
myuhinny Posted September 15, 2017 Posted September 15, 2017 Are you talking about the clothing converter by Gerra6 or a different converter? Gerra6's clothing converter works best if you are converting UNP to a different UNP version then if you try to convert UNP to CBBE because UNP and CBBE have different UV maps. Next is there a body underneath the armor? I have seen stuff convert bad before because there was no body under some parts. If you try to convert UNP to CBBE you can't use the UV map search when making a lattice.
SmedleyDButler Posted September 15, 2017 Author Posted September 15, 2017 Hm. I have the UV search turned off because someone mentioned that you shouldn't use it when converting between armours. I've converted CBBE to UNP alright once or twice with it, but this conversion to vanilla isn't working out. I do have a body under the clothes, it's the UNPslim pushup body specifically designed as a modders tool to be used under clothes. I tried making a lattice specifically with that mesh as the source (from), but I also tried with the regular UNP slim as well, both with nearly identical results.
myuhinny Posted September 15, 2017 Posted September 15, 2017 Vanilla meshes tend to be shit meshes that have many flaws in them and not many lattices in them so they don't convert very well in the clothing converter. I use the UV search all the time the only time that I have it turned off is when I'm converting a CBBE armor to UNP or UNP to CBBE because turning on the UV search will make it convert it incorrectly because UNP and CBBE have different UV maps the breast and hip - crotch area are not the same so their textures are different. CBBE body using UNP textures will have the nipple textures in the wrong area and the hip and crotch area have nasty hips marks and crotch marks.

Yeah, not surprised there. as they're definitely lower-poly, so it makes sense that they'd confuse the converter. Oh well, luckily I found a bit of a crude workaround.
