Detailed Bodies

- by Xenius

>> Description

I made this mod to match the bodies to my Detailed Faces mod.

The method I used is identical to that mod. Body textures and specular maps

have been increased in detail and size (4096 vs the old 2048 ones).

Specular maps (these determine the glossiness), have been made the same way as

Bethesda's, using slightly blurred noise, I did this at a higher resolution.

Detail of the skin textures has been increased by using a seamless human skin

texture resource. I filled an 8192x8192 image with this resource, then decreased

the size to 4096x4096 and applied it to the original body and hand textures.

Due to the added layers the amount of dirt on the skin has been slightly

decreased, but not completely removed.

On the comparison images you'll notice a slight difference in color, don't

worry about this, if you use "Detailed Faces" it will match fine.

I know it's quite hard to see the difference on some of the images, if you

open them in a new tab in your browser and zoom them in you'll see it better.

While looking at the comparison images, I noticed the female body has

blocky parts similar to the faces, artifacts caused by compression of the object

space normal maps. I have smoothed the normal map of the female body and the

hands of both genders. The male body was not necessary, the artifacts only

appear on parts that should be smooth, when there are many tiny details, like

on the male body, the artifacts do not occur.

This mod affects the following races, male and female including

old characters:

Imperial

Nord

Breton

Redguard

Dark Elf

High Elf

Wood Elf

Orc

Also note that:

- This is not a nude mod

- This is not a cleaner skin mod
