[REQz] Better Body Textures

Post » Fri Apr 02, 2010 11:16 am

As I was walking around Nellis AFB in the mid-day sun, I pulled my revolver just to take a look at it, and I realized how ugly my hands looked. The low-resolution, disgustingly "cracked" skin was almost sickening. Go open up the game and pull out a pistol and look at the skin texture (at least on a Caucasian character). I know it should be cracked, that's not my problem. I'm asking for a higher-res body texture, something more detailed and realistic (a term I'm using loosely). Of course I thought just the hand was ugly, but a new hand resolution wouldn't make sense without a new body resolution. And as far as the Nexus goes, I can't find anything of that nature.

Does any talented modder want to take this on? I truly with I could, but my artistic ability is equal to zilch.

Yeah, the hands do look awful. A remake is well in order.

You must be talking about the male textures. Even for FO3 there wasn't anything as highly detailed as there was for the female textures. If I had the skills to do it I certainly would.
Just last night I was looting some guy and noticed he had no feet. They were just squared off blocks. Unlike his female accomplice (only because she uses Type 3). I don't use a male body mod as the only one on offer isn't any better than vanilla, IMO. Texture-wise, I mean.
So, it's all grey/blue underpants on my characters and NPC's until something I like comes along :)

I am indeed speaking of the male textures. Though I have never noticed missing feet of any looted character, regardless of six.

Glad people agree, though. Hopefully someone can take this on.

Yeah. What Fallout New Vegas needs are some good male textures. There are loads of female textures and replacers around.

...and maybe new meshes for the feet would be a good addition as well. :P

Not missing as in chopped off, just like Sims feet. You only know they're feet because there are legs attached.

IMO the best body texture was done by Robert in Oblivion, then Sickleyield transferred that to Fallout 3.
There was a preview screenshot (or was it just a post?) by BlackBlossom on Nexus about a high-res texture for Breeze's but I don't know if that ever happened. Like most she seemed to concentrate more on Type 3.

I wouldn't know where to start to do it myself. I have some experience in Blender and Photoshop but I mostly just dabble. Experiment. Mostly on static objects like couches, beds and chairs :laugh: I've never attempted bodies.
