Body outline is not smooth

[Julianinho]

Hi,

I noticed that some outline of the body were not smooth (elbow, shoulder, chest ...)
Is there a way to make it smoother?
I play in 3840x2160 resolution.

my graphic settings: https://i.imgur.com/5DMIhmR.png

Thanks

Maybe the resolution isn't actually the set one?
Change the display mode. (borderless, full screen)
Press "Apply" next to resolution.
Open the graphics drivers control application. Make sure the settings for Koikatsu doesn't disable Anti Aliasing.

These edges show boundaries of pollygons that character consists of.

The bigger breasts are - the more these polygon boundaries are visible (they can be seen at some other body parts as well).

Tesselation shader can reduce this problem.

You need to install KKUTS(KoiKatu Unity-chan Toon Shader) 2.0 or older to be able to use tesselation.

You will need to apply this shader manually on each character in character editor though (kkuts manual contains more details).

Google "KKUTS(KoiKatu Unity-chan Toon Shader)_v2.3" to get it if you are still interested.


tl;dr: It's possible to make it's smooth, but it'll requre some hassle.

Thanks for help, I will try this hope it work ;)

I tested the tesselation and it works very well ;)

but now the character is very pale and there is less shadow than before, I think

It must certainly require some other modifications and research to find the right settings, you're right it must take some hassle.

I don't have a problem with anti aliasing. I don't have the shader thing installed.
Anti Aliasing works with and without mods. I am using 3840x2160, too.

So: Maybe you have a graphics plugin installed which disable anti aliasing?
Try to disable all plugins first. To do that, rename the winhttp.dll in your gamefolder to -winhttp.dll or move it out of the game folder. Then start the game and Character editor to see if anti aliasing works now.

I have move the file winhttp.dll, start the game, everything was in japanese so I think it's normal and it's related to the file I moved, but I still have the same problem, the outline is not smooth: https://i.imgur.com/ol4rMtq.png

On your computer the outline of your character looks better than on my screen ? Because I don't realize if there is a big difference or not.
It's especially around the naked neck that we can see that it's not smooth I think.

Probably chinese. If you start the "Initial Settings.exe" choose english. :> You can also set the resolution there and choose full screen. (since without plugins you can't change resolutions ingame)

This is what I see without mods: https://imgur.com/a/WM26o4H

Thanks for your screen ;)

On your last picture here: https://i.imgur.com/tAyYu5P.png I also noticed the same non-smooth contours as in my screen.
I don't know but maybe there's nothing we can do about it and it's normal.

This picture illustrates anti-aliasing, which makes lines itself less jaggy.

Non-smooth contours are caused by model having not too much polygons itself, so it has nothing to do with antialiasling.

Tessealtion is necessary to fix this.

Btw on the picture demonstrating tesselation from KKUTS creator himself (which I posted above) it clearly don't affect texture brightness, so there is surely some way to apply it properly.

So there's something I didn't set up correctly, I'll do some more tests, thanks.
