TechAngel85 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 He said he fixed them with a optimizer, but I am sure that is the problem. It seems fine with diffuse, but it destoys scaling on normal maps. I learnt that the hard way.This is what I assumed. I learnt that the hard way as well when doing the STEP Female Overhaul. Normals shouldn't be resized with an optimizer unless you know the correct settings. That's takes a lot of playing around to figure out. In that time you could have simply recreated them from the diffuse for each down scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalkHoganPL Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 (edited) I told him it was because he used "Interpolation" when scaling the textures, but I think he did not understand what I was saying. In GIMP this is: Image > Scale Image > Quality > None He said he fixed them with a optimizer, but I am sure that is the problem. It seems fine with diffuse, but it destoys scaling on normal maps. I learnt that the hard way.Thanks, in GIMP scaling with no interpolation now it works. Currently, normal maps are already fixed, scaling with optimizer it's also work, checked everything and it's ok.Thanks and regards, Halk_Hogan_PL ;) EDIT:In 3ds max before and after fix (with optimizer): Edited May 23, 2015 by HalkHoganPL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harpalus Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I think that these are STEP worthy. I'd flag it as testing if I could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssArrBee Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Did the testing for this mod. I left out the picnic basket because there wasn't one laying around Solitude and I was to lazy to look up the FormID. Vanilla->Realistic Baskets HD->HD Baskets (current STEP) This mod takes some of the baskets and makes them look like they aren't really wicker, but rather some kind of basket wrapped with twine. The lack of 3D on the brim of the current STEP baskets is bothersome though. They look like something from the PS2 days. The seond set of shots shows one of the custom mesh/textures combos and it is really good. I recommend this mod for STEP Core to replace HD Baskets.

DoubleYou Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Might not the larger basket possibly introduce clipping issues at some locations? Also, what is the vanilla appearance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssArrBee Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Doubtful on the clipping since those are just stood up next to certain things and the size difference has more to do with the way I placed it on the table. I think vanilla is lower res version of HD Baskets, but I'll update with those I guess. EDIT: Alright, I updated with vanilla and they suck.

EssArrBee Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Added the picnic basket without the vanilla shot. All vanilla baskets look terrible anyways. I actually kinda like HD Baskets for the picnic basket though. Maybe mix and match or something is best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechAngel85 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Maybe it's just the lighting but they look way out of place. I'll install this and test it out in-game to see how they look in their natural placements and lighting. Which resolution did you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TechAngel85 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Okay, that's the one I downloaded. Just looking at the files, it looks like vanilla and HD Baskets only has one texture for all baskets (vanilla looks like rope to me). This mod gets around that limitation by using custom meshes pointing to the different textures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechAngel85 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Tested them out in-game all morning. Love them. I vote to add this to replace HD Baskets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssArrBee Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Kind of a no brainer really. The only one I'd really like from HD Baskets over this mod is the picnic basket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssArrBee Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Any objections to accepting this mod for STEP Core to replace HD Baskets? I need to know for another project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechAngel85 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Nope. It looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
