Venus Body Replacer

[gvman3670]

Has anyone here tried this new body yet? I like the looks of it. The weight scale is decent and it appears the shoulders don't distort too badly during animations. I am thinking about loading it up in MO and checking it out.

Tested it and it looks aweful ugh...

 

 

 

[gvman3670]

That DOES look awful. Is there any BBP/TBBP support for it? I didn't notice.

No biggie. I just downloaded the body, textures and outfits myself. I've repacked the body and texts for Mod Organizer and have those installed into a new profile already and the outfits are repacked and compressing as I type this, so I can install them as soon as 7zip finishes up.

I guess I'll throw a character together really quickly and see how it looks at my end. I'll report back with my opinion and pics soon.

My Venus body looks much better, but to each their own.

Maybe I should make some armor conversions for my Venus body and release them here.  Keeping the name, though.

[gvman3670]

Now that I've repacked and installed the body, textures and clothing (haven't messed with the clothes yet) I can say that it isn't that bad at all. Not as bad as the pic Evasia posted, that's for sure!

A few notes here.

Pros...

The hands and feet are VERY well done. Better than most other bodies. The hands are FAR better than on other bodies.

The boobs and butt DO jiggle while using XPMS skeleton and TBBP animations, although the jiggle on the breasts is somewhat subdued.

The textures are detailed and very realistic, on par with Real Girls or Mature Skin. I don't see any seams anywhere, which is great.

The weight slider takes you from very thin to UNPB thick all in one body. ECE tweaks can push those limits even farther.

Cons...

Don't let the body mod overwrite the mesh files for ECE or you'll get an ugly character. I avoided this by giving ECE priority and the face looks nice again. The eyeballs got goofy when Venus had priority over ECE. Just a heads up.

So here are a few standing idle pics of a character I just threw together really quick (ECE presets save some time there ). Notice the lack of seams at the neck, wrists and ankles, and note the high poly hands and actually fingernails in the mesh. Nice touches. The first few pics are with the weight at 100%, waist made thicker, butt scale maxed and no tweaks to the breast scale.

This pic was taken with the character at 50% weight wearing UNP version of A Little Sexy Apparel Replacer.

Why do all those bodies look good on screens and then like garbage in game? Compared to ZGGB-CH they are puny tiny.

My screens are exactly how it looks in my game. I'm not using any ENB to make it purdy. If anything mine look better in game because these are reduced to 600X800 and coverted to jpeg format.

ZGGB-CH is pretty nasty if you ask me. We all have our own tastes. This character, for example, is thicker and healthier built than 99% of the world's population.

[gvman3670]

I figured there would be of a response to this. Oh well. Here is the Venus body with Ancient Shrouded Armor that comes with it and using the hood, gloves and boots from "Sexy Vanilla Armor Replacer".

I noticed something else today, too. Not only are the hands and feet more detailed than other body replacers, but the matching textures come with 3D pubic hair (not just painted on like most).

[gvman3670]

Another bit of detail I noticed today. Actual NIPPLES. Not bumps on the mesh.

I quite liked the look of it's apparently varied weight changes so took it out for a test drive recently. I found that aspect a bit underwhelming in game though. I struggled to find anything about it that was significant enough to bother going to the trouble of adopting a body that I doubt will ever get armor support beyond what the author and the odd die hard supporter does for it. 

 

Not to put a spanner in the works, but you could probably come up with a more than comparable result with Stuffed Bunny's mod,  starting from the UNP Skinny preset as your zero weight and throwing a touch of 7B in there for the meaty glutes and thighs, maybe a bit of gravity to pull the breasts down into a pleasingly natural shape as they gain weight. And with the added bonus of being able to use a fully HDT weighted mesh to get there, and I wouldn't be surprised if you finished up with more BodySlide enabled armors than this body will see in it's entire life cycle.

Ew. I was okay with the body at first, then it got ugly. Reminded me of caricature drawings of body features. Definitely not my fetish.

 

Still It would be interesting to see this as a joke mod.

SevenBase was pretty disappointing for me as the transition from thigh to the legs were pretty weird along with the balloon-lookin pair of breasts. I don't disagree with the idea though, definitely not on the top but in a decent level of my "want to see" list. On the other hand, I agree on the breasts, the natural look certainly seems more appealing.

 

But what mainly caught my attention are the vanilla replacers. Other than that I'm pretty interested and will take a try at it in the near future. Anyways its better to post your criticism on the actual page, not some thread on a completely different site.

Fair points.

 

I am just running it through it's paces at the moments. The lack of support (at least at this point) is the only real downside I can find. It can go from waif to bosomous bombshell with the use of ECE, which is pretty cool. And the level of detail is higher than on any bodyslide-able body or other UNP variants. Much higher, but it didn't notice all those details right away. It took a couple days to notice them all....like the feet, hands, breasts and the nice neck/body transition. One other plus I've noticed is that the body hass less deformation during animations that nearly any others I've seen.

[w33beast1e]

I confess I didn't bother putting it through many poses but most of the recent body mods have been good for deformaiton,. The main selling point I could see with this body was it's shape change as you went up in weight, clearly he's gone to the trouble of thinking beyond just 'make everything bigger'. I had a 10 minute fiddle around with UNP Bodyslide and came up with this poor effort, but it does illustrate it's possible to get some significant variation using a skinny preset and then putting a little 7B meat on at max:

Not bad. I haven't used the UNP bodyslide tool myself. I've checked it out but haven't really done anything with it.

I have the feeling that , 7base gets the most hate becouse its getting really popular and whats popular = hate.

Its like everyone is forced to play Bombshell version with 100% weight and then complains about this body. How bad is it.

To be honest I think it's what we in the UK call a 'Marmite' thing - you either love it or you hate it. I definitely get why folks don't like it. It's my favourite body I think, though if I had a choice Lady Body would be what I'd use and that's pretty much the anti-7B - go figure.

How bad is what? Bombshell? Not the worst thing I've seen. Here's my version of She-Hulk with a max weight 7B Bombshell body.

If you mean the ZGGB-CH body then that is kinda' terrible in my opinion. Really cartoonish giant parts and everything. A real woman like that could barely walk or breathe.

[afa]

Anyone having issue with opening up Venus' texture? they work in game, but I can't seem to view it separately.

The body looks nice, the details on hand and feet mesh is unique, having some trouble with hdt physics tho, and I prefer a shaved texture.

[gvman3670]

I opened it right up with 7Zip. I had to so I could fix the file structure and make it match Skyrim, which is what Mod Organizer wanted.

 

I found that the 3D pubic hair is in the body mesh (and the texture for it is in the texture folder). When I first used a different texture the pubes were purple. That's how I found out.

SevenBase is nothing compared to those massive, inflated thighs.

 

Not to forget that 'hate' wasn't mentioned anywhere. I did mention 'disappointment' though. Don't know where you manage to pull that idea out from but disappointment = hate? That's some interpretation you got there.

 

Still haven't tested the body out yet...

[gvman3670]

I have to say that I like how it looks. The ass actually looks REAL with a very realistic shape. The boobs can get pretty big, though. Like pornstar big. They do have a bit of gravity, though, so they lay like they have some mass.

Couldn't have said that better myself. If you've heard of the pornstar Eve Lawrence; her boobs were the inspiration for the high end of the Venus body breasts. The idea was to go from cute, "tear-shaped" breasts to large, fake, perfectly round tits at 100%.

I really appreciate all your great critique of Venus. As thanks, I have released here and ONLY here a small Bikinis cache. Located here: http://www.loverslab.com/topic/32411-venus-bikini-closet-body-test-drive/?p=812248

Judging from Evaiasdutch's experience, I have to say not all of you will like Venus, unfortunately. I think that guy had some kind of bad skeleton or something because MY Venus looks like this:

Your's should too if you install it fresh and with the skeleton provided with it. Thanks again for the great comments, guys!

 

EDIT: I just tried to see if I could reproduce the same scene EvaDutch posted. I couldn't. The screen he posted has smaller hands, an elongated pelvic area, and the boobs are not sitting the same too??!!

Did you modify my meshes, Eva? I have to ask because here is mine on the left with your's on the right:

Here is some more food for thought. See how poses can affect the appearance, too?

This is REALLY profound:

Amazing, isn't it?

[van_gelis]

it's the enb plus skinny (lower weight) plus hand fix plus female feet etc.  i believe that the textures must be compatible with xp32 -better yet xpms- it isn't that bad after all .
