Well I finally got around to checking out the new textures and they are awesome, although I have to agree with Vitality about the pubic hair. But still one outstanding piece of work! :goodjob: :bowdown:

EDIT: Spelling

Just took a look at a couple of these in nifskope..really nice work..I especially like how well you've softened the seams on the inner thighs/legs and along the insides of the arms that some other skins have left. Couple things I noticed though. There's a fairly "hard" line running along the contour just below each briast that looks a bit off. Was this done on purpose? Perhaps it's just a matter of aesthetic taste whether it should be there or not. In a way it's too bad that the BB meshers didn't create just a hint of sag there as it would look more realistic..plus would cover a spot that is quite hard to texture properly due to pixel smearing in some places.

There's also a fairly visible horizontal line on the side of each leg..just below the knees. And there are several quite visible seams on the feet (which is likely quite a difficult place to get all those blended together).

I haven't gotten a chance to see anything in-game yet..it may be less visible in that lighting thus not really an issue..thought I'd mention my observations though.

Minor things though..this must have been a lot of work to do and it's a very nice variant which will add a lot of enjoyment to many people's games. Thanks for the release :foodndrink:

His name is Vality. Sorry I just get really petpeevish about name spelling.

That line is there in the image I used, it probably should be pushed down a bit more. I am aware of the seam below the knees, I may try to fix that yet. As for the feet they are going to stay the way they are, I really doubt I would have the patience to get them seamless. Also some of the seams are more noticeable on certain races and less on others.
Also thank you everybody for your appreciation, I am glad you are liking these.

It's my guess that stryder420 was apologizing to Vality7 in absentia.

Have you ever used Nifskope's UV editor? It makes it easy to fix seams and make your textures fit properly on the mesh.

Nice, I never knew you could do that with Nikskope. I don't even have Nifskope, but I might just DL and see what I can do. However that would mean everybody would have to install a new BB mesh file and I really don't know if that is cool with PDS.

I read you can import OBJ and export as NIF with Nifskope???

Just downloaded: beautiful work as usual, congrats to the release. :thumbsup:

Oh also I have been having a strange bug with the dark elf texture. I cant seem to switch to the nvde texture for the dark elf only, its stuck on the underwear version for some strange reason. I even completley deleted the dark elf texture from the folder so that there wasn't a dark elf texture and it still showed the undies version. :S Anybody have any idea what might be the problem????

This might be that you have the Dark Elf underwear texture loose in your
Textures folder (not in the Textures subfolder "bb" ). If this is the case,
the game will read what is in the base Textures folder before the "bb" Textures
subfolder (hence your dilemma). Just fish out the loose Dark Elf underwear
texture from the base Textures folder and make sure that you install the
nvde one in the "bb" subfolder and all will be well .

Take Care :angel:

Q. Are there any other limits as to what I can do with the Better Bodies source files?

A. Yes. You aren't allowed to alter the shape of the meshes and then use them to make and release a mod that replaces the standard Morrowind races. You can make a custom race with altered meshes, and you can release textures packs that replace the textures of the standard Morrowind races. You can also use the altered meshes to make a creature. Just as long as you don't use our files to make a mesh that is different from ours, and then use that mesh in a mod that replaces the standard races, you're free to use the files we've released.

Thanks, sure hope you wont mind DL an update for the female textures later afternoon.
I think Harborgolfer will be pleased to know that I have taken care of just about all the seams as best I could and fixed the briast area using Nifskope to edit the UV layout (thanks Vality.) A seam near the knee cap is really the only one that I coudn't get rid of so well but I dont think it is too noticeable. :S

I will probably edit the elves pubic region to fit the "elvish lore" of no body hair. And maybe add some color to the dark elf as suggested and then I will UL a new version later this evening.

Hopefully in the next few days I will have the male texture done as well.

Did I miss something? Where is it written that Elves may not have body-hair?! Caoul youn please just make 2 versions, one with hair and one without ?

"Often elves do not possess facial or body hair"

"and neither six grows facial, nor body hair"

Did I miss something? Where is it written that Elves may not have body-hair?! Could you please just make 2 versions, one with hair and one without ?

AnOldFriend3, I think it sounds alright. While you are replacing the default races with a new mesh, it is not altered, just the uv map, so really there should be no problem - it is up to people to choose whether they want to use the altered uv mapped mesh anyway.

Now we know that Tolkien's Elves had beards (Cirdan had one) so it is not a stretch to assume that Tolkien's Elves could also have both pubic and axillary hair.
