  Nope.   All the requests to convert to UNP/7b have already been used up in this thread.    (that means you should have searched the thread... you can still do that, you know)

  what's that yellow stuff on her body?

  then even as a wip you should package it up right now and share it.   because every hdt hair I have ever used spends more time spazzing out than it does laying there. Merida hair is great. . . but more often than not the tendrils get twisted up and they fight with each other. there's another set of hairs on nexus from a couple weeks ago that's even lighter and therefore it fights more.

  not to be glib, but to answer your question "because that's the way it was programmed"   because if they were different values, it would pull the rigid off-center. If you want it off center, then use the Joint tab in "constraint settings"

  the inertia tensor grid is like this box:   you got red (X), blue(Y) and just say black (Z) sides. the sides you can't see are the same color as it's opposite that you CAN see.   The Rigid Body being defined is inside this box. Imagine it being held aloft by springs (metal coils, not physics definitions) hooked from the center of each color.   the 10 defines the strength of that spring, from .00001 to 99.99999. This gives you some measure of control over the movement of the rigid. the three 10s are the only valid entry places in that grid.

  First of all, I want to point out that most mod authors are pretty beat up by hard headed users. Many "problems" can be solved if the person with the problem had simply RTFM from the beginning. No, that wasn't you, but it's the explanation for why you received a terse boilerplate response. Personally, i've grown to the point where I am as clear and direct as possible in the statement of the problem i'm having... which is usually enough to show that I've read the docs and the problem is outside that. Just a thought that may help you in the future.   2ndly, you don't have to reload anything to go to mod organizer. It has a "convert from nmm" feature. Additionally, installing your mods to it via zip is quick n simple.   People are so beat up by nmm, that everyone thinks it's going to be just as big of an ordeal to use MO. It's not. I've never used boss or loot or whatever they are, and have never EVER had a load order problem that I couldn't fix with a few seconds and a drag n drop reorder.    there's no reason to wait. Unless you're an idiot (and it doesn't seem you are) I seriously believe you'll be up n running in :45- 1hr and most of that waiting on the computer.

Walking down the street to my car on curb parking. step off the curb and BAM right there at my feet sits a quad folded $20.   Beer and 3 lottery ticks. Didn't win anything except free fucking beer hell yeah.

  what a great way to start ANY day. Waking up laughing? sounds awesome.

  You've taken your first step into a much larger world.   I think what youv'e exp[erienced is the first parts of Yuni and Msy (Meat Space You) coming together as a complete person. Because the reality is that no matter how separate that you view the 2, they're not different. . . they are only different facets of the same person.   yuni will never go away... yuni will just wind up as one of those people in your head that deals with your daily shit...      So here's my definition, the way I think about what's going on in my head at any moment.   The major players:  You: The person sitting at the control deck for your human body. Everyone else has their assignments and are standing right behind you being back seat driver. The Lizard: Instinct. Fight or flight. He's the guy thats screaming like a lunatic when you're trying to concentrate on an emergency situation. The Lizard makes you stare at the butt of an excruciatingly attractive person when you know you'll get caught looking. Captain Awesome: He's the source of motivation. He has great ideas how to Get Things Done and is always trying to help you move forward in your life. Problem is that he's loudest when you're broke.  Mr Stoic: he stands there, arms folded, speaking clearly and sensibly. He is ALWAYS RIGHT yet he has no ego. He's right and it's just the way it is. The problem is that more often than not he gets drowned out by the other fools running around up there. The Sack: He's a depressing fuck. Not depressed, mind you, but is just that fuddy duddy wet blanket guy... telling you everything sucks, you suck, your tits are too small, your dick is too small, and that you're going to die penniless and homeless in a van down by the river. He's got a commanding presence. He rarely says anything out loud, his mood tho can putt a pall over everyone elses energy. Then there's a bunch of smaller guys... The Librarian: The guy that's rifling thru file cabinets when you're trying to think of that one guys name in that one movie... He's on the job for up to 30 mins, that's why you remember the guys name when the convo is long gone. Todd: Fratboy, redneck, whatever... he's the guy that chuckles and says shit like "hey... heyheyhey... watch this" or "dude... hold my beer" right before you do something that only Todd would think is funny. When other people laff, it's their Todd laughing. Evelyn: the person that's sitting/standing next to you, just playing the part, when you're holding a full on conversation with nobody while you're in the shower or driving somewhere. She's a great listener. She will speak up confidently when the person she was standing in for is in proximity. And she remembers the entire conversation... but sometimes she gets distracted by The Sack and just clams up. Every now and then, one of these people is louder than every one else. Sometimes, however, they wear disguises. For ex, Lizard will disguise himself as someone else and poke you. It'll sound like a perfectly valid thing to think about, and you'll THINK it was Mr Stoic just being right again, but it wasn't. Problem is, Stoic is tied up in the closet and can't just tell Lizard to STFU. SOMETIMES tho, he get's out... and you're like "what the FUCK is wrong with me. that's fucking stupid" and everyone else goes "yeah".   All those little battles are played out by all the major players with the occasional override by one of the bit players. The Librarian is the only one that gets priority over everyone else... they all trust The Librarian. . . regardless of what else is going on, he'll holler from the back, the giant stacks of shelves and cabinets "IDENTITY. John Cusak. . . aaand .... um... YEAH Ray Liotta." and everyone else will stfu until he's done talking.      To me the other night sounds like Awesome and Stoic were running the show with the occasional stealthy guidance from Yuni. Congratulations . . . those guys are a great team ...in doses.   As time goes on, Yuni will likely become a major player . . . which means you will be getting more comfortable with your confidence. And Yuni will become a driving force for defining who you are at any moment. Right now Yuni is I guess running the simulator with the occasional access to the actual control deck. But the door to mission control is open... and Yuni is looking at what's going on in there.     Or maybe I'm just a moron and this drivel only means anything to me (Fuck you, Sack. Get away from the mic.)

  did you see my li'l tutorial a couple pages back? You should really do that and create circular mask templates before you do mush else. the cbbe circular looks like a pillowed square on 7b/unp.

Added Glossary of Terms and Field Definitions to "Other Guides" section of the original post.

  sounds like you're not using v4

yeaht eh distortion is because cbbe has a FUCKED up shape on the uv. It pinches weird. Therefore, the same shape on a different uv will produce a different shape on the live model.   To whoever cares, (ThisTownIsKillingMe and whoever else) if you have PS Extended, I would suggest that you replace my cbbe model with a 7b/unp model.  Open the model in nifskope export as obj. (PS will then be able to import it) It will then need some fuckwith to put it in the right position for lighting and viewing. take your favorite skin dds and add it to the diffuse layer. edit the diffuse layer to see it in a different doc. HIDE the original texture... so that it's now transparent. make and select a new layer. at this point you can start making overlay templates. in the original doc, select the mesh layer. make a brush that is a giant circle of whatever color you want as big as the size of areola that you want. line up as best as you can on a nipple. it needs to be as straight on as you can get it. click, one time, putting that circle on the boob.  save. switch to the opened diffuse texture and wait a sec. The circle that you drew will appear there. You now have a template for that size. I used all my templates as masks.   In my doc, there's a checkerboard. You can copy that over to here.    if anyone gets this far and needs more instruction, lemme know and I'll post.   If you don't have PS6 Extended, ebay has used copies for really cheap. hit me pm and I can link you to a friends store.  

  you can SLEEP WHEN YOU'RE DEAD.    wuss.   Yeah cya tmw. My woobi is callin me.

Here's an experiment. . .  thoughts?  

alright everyone . . . here's a beta for recolored assets. Basically I desaturated it (no color, bw source).   The result is: upside: the ability to make LIGHTER tones and can get just as dark, but truer colors.  downside: starting color is grey, not skin toned... meaning it'll prob take longer to find the right color.    Using mod organizer, you drop this in lower in the order than original TK and play the game. I dunno how nmm works, don't ask me.   Please lemme know what you think. Personally, I think I like it better. TitKit desaturate beta.zip

  Alright i wrote a readme and put it all together into a zip and it's uploading to nexus right now.    Will upload it here when that's done.

  I keep forgetting to up the psd . . . i DO MEAN to up it for you. I will after I get off the phone. couple hrs from now at most.    I zipped it up then forgot to put it on nexus.

  thanks!    What you need: Work Studios + console > animcam.    Ohbtw . . . hwat did you use to cap vid?

  no need. white (not like a lavender or light purple?) means the transparency wasn't right. Use dxt5 with alpha. I forget exactly what it's called . . .    the psd is too big to put here or whatever. I'll upload it to the nexus page tomorrow.

  Do you want the psd?

  Aw dude... you're doing what I tried to do for the longest time.   My suggestion: forget using it in mod organizer. I tried to get it set up right. then when I had what I thought was copacetic, the compiling and output was piss poor... I mean SOMETIMES it would compile. Then, it would put SOME assets in Overwrite, SOME in ./skyrim/data, and SOME in the MO mod that i built specifically for it and I'd go around cobbling everything together. It clearly does not follow some rules somewhere for directory access, otherwise MO would give it everything it needed.   By just using it on it's own, it puts a /data tree in it's own directory.    If you need help getting compiling working, ask away.

  mind sharing your hdt.xml? I'd like to compare it. I've been trying to get a ridicubounce like that on more normal sized assets, but can't seem to get it right.    You've kinda confirmed to me what I need to get done.

To anyone paying attention, I'm thinking that I need to recolor everything.   Everything except the rings and the tapes have a 'natural' color to them... but this is deceiving and limiting. While, say, speckled blam has an acceptable color from the get go, it severely limits the range of colors you can use. You simply cant get it (that one especially) to a very light color. And if you start using glow, that has it's own problems.   the tapes are about a 12% white (darkish grey). They can go from black to about 75% brightness of any color. if you want it lighter you'll have to start using glow. I fucked with those for quite a while, and 25% white was good enuf to get a dark grey but could go to full white and were 'perfect' at accepting colors.   So I'm thinking that I need to recolor everything to about a 18-20% white. That way you can pick a decent flesh color, and make it really light, or really dark.   Thoughts anyone?

On the body screen, hover a 'default', then look at the bottom of the screen...   I thought it was more obvious than that, so I will change the destructions.
