Heels for Unp texture mismatch.

[Frankfranky]

I have been a CBBE user, forever ... but I have finally decided to go UNP. The problem I am having is with High heels, or more specifically, the feet in high heels. Very often, despite d/l heels that clearly say UNP, I am finding a texture problem with the feet. They are all murky and blurred and they definately don't match the body at the ankles.

 

I had this problem initally with the shoes from Luxury Collection. Then I realised that I was using the CBBE version. So I swapped over to the UNP version, and now they all work perfectly, so I was thinking oh, ok, so the feet obviously have different UV maps between UNP and CBBE, I mean that would make sense, right?, so I have to make sure I have UNP shoes.

 

So. I look at the Shoes Pack by s666 here on LL. I have always loved his shoes. Nope, problem with the feet. I go back to the mod page to have a look, he says " UNP is realised, but shoes 168 and shoeswear are not including within. " I check all the shoes. None of them work correctly with UNP. I read the comments. 1st page " Thanks for the UNP Support. " What am I missing?

 

Elewin Pumps 2. It says UNP on the box. Nope Problem with the feet. .... Clearly I am doing something wrong, right? but what?

 

CHH - the only ones that work without the issue are the UNP (NPC). I go through the comments. Arrisson C seems to be answering the queries has this to say " The NPC platforms use default female body textures for compatibility. The regular platforms replaced feet's object normals map for vision. " What is an object normal? I feel this may be a key piece of the puzzle.

 

I have made new feet in bodyslide - UNP, UNP- special,  - UNP (XPMSE) doesn't change the issue. I put the old feet from the origional Dimonised UNP body d/l back on. Nope. I can't be the only one that has had this issue? surely. Do I just have to toss most of the heels I have collected over the years?

 

help. plox. Andy are you out there? You usually know these things?

Problem with elewin pumps in the nif texture settings possibly it's corrected in the esp but I didn't check. I don't know with s666 shoes because no d/l link I could find that works.

I will take some pictures. s666's shoes are here on LL https://www.loverslab.com/files/file/2006-shoes-pack-for-skyrim/ I went through the nifs of Elewin's shoes, s666 shoes a few others. I am no expert but I couldn't see anything wrong. I think, the foot inside the shoe (this is the only part with the problem) is UV mapped for CBBE textures. I think this needs to be replaced with a UNP foot. I was hoping someone who knew exactly what the problem is could confirm this before I have a go at swapping it over myself. I have replaced a lot of DX armor CBBE to UNP already that work perfectly (just installing other peoples conversions. I didn't do it myself). Did they really swap the foot model, then shape it to fit the shoe to make them work? Or is there a better and easier way. Surely?

Ya the texture settings are fine, forget that. Problem is the mesh of that foot but it does not match any cbbe textures I checked against either, it always shows up with that mismatch in the uv on the inside back between heel and ankle. So I looked at the only high heels model I had in game and it has the same foot with the same issue. I have luxury collection but didn't install the heels so I guess the thing to do is compare the foot model used there vs the ones you are having this problem with.

I will keep on it. I will work it out ty for helping to narrow the problem down. It is a very srs issue. There is no way that Skyrim can be saved in bad shoes!
