Has this been converted?

[OneWhoSpeaks]

Hey guys, just a quick question. I found this armor pack and was wondering if it had already been converted into a CBBE compatible format. I've been searching for a while but haven't had any luck so far, so I figured just asking would be faster.

If it has been converted, could you please provide a link to it? And if not, direct me to where I can request that it be converted (since I haven't the slightest clue on how to do it myself).

As far as I know, there's been a few partial conversions, but nobody has done the full set yet. There's also no ground object linked to any of the armours, so that may be a factor.

Thanks for the links, I'll take a look. And what is a ground object? How does that affect the conversion of an armor?

Ground objects (a.k.a. World objects) are meshes that are attached to the armour's (or any item's) records so that you can interact with the armour when you drop it from your inventory. So, without one, the dropped armour just becomes an intangible piece of pretty cloth floating in the air, and the only way to get the armour back is through the console.

 

It affects the conversion of an armour only if the person converting it cares about being able to pick up the armour from the ground. Attaching ground objects is just an extra step in the process that can't be done in Outfit Studio, and the CK is an annoying tool to use. Combine that with a large list of armours that need fixing (some of which are only single weight armours), and you have a recipe for burnout. That's probably why there's no full conversion set. People just do enough to convert the armours they really like.

 

(Hint: I actually have a full set of conversions, and I'm slowly going through that pack and his stocking pack and attaching ground objects to them. I just have to find the time. RL is a bitch about free time sometimes. I just don't want to release it before I'm done and did some QC.)

Alright, makes sense. Thanks! 

 

P.S. Good luck with finishing off those armors, I've seen little bits and pieces of the process and it looks confusing as hell.  Can't wait to see the finished product though!

There should be an option in Bodyslide's Outfit Studio to convert from UNPB Chapi to CBBE.

That should get the outfit close enough to a cbbe shape to then use the brush and make final adjustments.

Once you do that delete the body and insert a CBBE body and setup some bones (hdt bones and what not)...

 

Note: those outfits were probably only bbp (no butt, or belly bones) so you'll need to add those as well as delete the breast 1 bones (npc L breast 1, and NPC R breast 1) from the outfit or shits not going to end well...

 

Also note that one or two of the items don't use the default chapi shape...

I remember the rope bondage one being that way, and will take some work to make it fit a cbbe shape. Then again that rope one is set to press into the breasts so it wouldn't look correct on a regular no indented body anyway...

 

Good luck...

Not gonna lie, very little of what you just said makes any sense to me. I have literally zero experience in converting armors successfully, I tried once but failed miserably because I had no idea what I was doing and attempted to figure it out on my own. Bones and weights are words I've heard thrown around before but I know nothing about them . Thanks though, I may have to start learning how to convert things now, since I really, really want this pack for my own.

Basically, bones are what allow the body to move, and weights tell the system how much of an influence any command has over that particular part of the object. Not really something that mesh converters really need to know the details of, but really important when you want to create original content.
