Work on diffuse.dds / Work on Tribe

[Headhunter]

Hello!

I want to make a tribe of natives wearing only loincloths. My problem is that I can not handle the diffuse.dds to remove the underwear in the male models.

It should be like the cannibals only without the paint. is anyone out there who can help me with this?

The way I see it, if you want to completely remove the underwear for the models, you'll need to remove it from both diffuse and normal .dds.

Since there is three different variants for each (skinny, normal, muscular), that means you'll need to edit 6 files for each gender if you want to be thorough.

I haven't tried removing it from the diffuse since I'm not that good with Photoshop but I have tried removing the underwear from the normal.dds previously when I was making a stealth suit but it didn't turn out the way I was expecting so I scrapped it.

All other files are already available (with the cannibal files) or can be edited without problems.

For female models, there is already a mod. Only this one file (diffuse.dds) I do not get edited and then back to the original format.

Your stealthsuit is make from shekskin, right?

That stealth suit is a combination of Shek skin, Cannibal skin, chainmail texture and uvmap lines exported from Blender. :D

The last time I was messing with the diffuse and normal texture files, I noticed that the textures for Cannibals variants are slightly different from human ones. The normal body is the same I think but the muscular and skinny are completely different. The muscle definition is different.

Plus I also noticed that the resolution is different. The resolution for Cannibals are smaller so a lot of fine details are lost. It doesn't really matter for Cannibals I guess since they're covered in full bodypaint anyway.

I tried making a modified nude normal map textures (without the underwear lines) for my suit and when I tried to apply it to the human body it produced some weird shading effect.

I know the normal map for human skin are supposed to be saved in DXT5_NM in grayscale but it doesn't seems to be working for me.

I have downloaded that mod that you're referring to from Nexus but haven't tried it in game. I only wanted to see how different it is from mine and I got to say the diffuse looks pretty good but the normal maps looks like it was done in a rush. ;p

That's more or less pretty much what he's asking for but for male model. The ones for female models already existed elsewhere but none for male so far.

[Arkhiel]

well for male model unless you want sexless dudes it's not possible ^^

[Headhunter]

I want only a sexless male skin, same like the cannibals. No need for more ^^

[Arkhiel]

oh ok. should be doable (can't now though)
