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
