grolschhorne Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 (edited) Hi Guys, Please could you take a moment to read my mod request for a Tattoo mod for a male protagonist in Fallout 4. Would it be at all possible for someone to please help me by creating a mod that gives the player character the Tattoos of former wrestler and current actor Duane "The Rock" Johnson? My 9 year old nephew is a huge fan of his and he recently saw a video on how to make the Rocks face in fallout 4 and he has asked me if I can help him do it. He has asked me to make the tattoos as well, but I haven't honestly got the first idea on what I would need to do in order to make this happen or even if it is possible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XeqDI8kknds I have seen some people's player characters with their own tattoo designs and so I am hoping that someone here is able to take pity on me and help me out lol. I would appreciate any advice (if this is something that a modding noob like myself can make) or better still would welcome someone's own work as I am a little worried in making something for it to turn out disappointingly crap. There are two main tattoos that the Rock has, the first is the more famous of the two and is just a Bulls Head with one eyebrow raised (the Rocks signature mannerism) and this is on the side of his right Bicep/shoulder. The second tattoo would be more complicated as I am sure, since it is a Samoan tribal tattoo that covers his left pectoral muscle and is a semi-sleeve around the bicep on his left arm. Whilst I know my nephew would prefer to have both Tattoo's, i am sure he would be stoked just to have the Bulls Head if the tribal part is too complicated. As I said before, I honestly have no idea how difficult this will be. For reference I have attached a close-up photo of each of the two designs, though as he is so famous there are many images that can be seen via a google image search as again I am not really sure what would be needed by the artist making the mod. I know that this is a long shot in asking for this mod, and I would like to take the opportunity to thank you for reading this post and again would appreciate any feedback on whether this mod would be possible and if so how long it would likely take to make. If it simply isn't something that can be done for any reason, I would also appreciate to be told so I can relay the message to my nephew though I am hoping that it can simply because this would score me a ton of Uncle-points lol. Thanks Again Grolschhorne. Edited August 29, 2016 by grolschhorne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onelunglee Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Finding detailed images is no problem and using PS to isolate the ink itself isn't too too bad. Integrating it into the game though, if you've never dabbled, it's a can of worms. If you're feeling overwhelmed and aren't getting much for responses, I recommend downloading one of the larger tattoo mods and making a go at reverse engineering it. If it's for personal use, might just be able to modify one of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grolschhorne Posted August 31, 2016 Author Share Posted August 31, 2016 (edited) Thank you for the tip. Someone in a facebook group has very kindly made the tattoo templates for me, but I still need to put them onto a skin. I am a total photoshop noob so I am trying to do it myself but it may take me some time. Edited September 5, 2016 by grolschhorne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grolschhorne Posted August 31, 2016 Author Share Posted August 31, 2016 So I have experimented a little with PSP and have grafted the tattoos to a body skin in what I hope are the right places. I have saved the file as a DDS (amended the one I downloaded) and then I copied the body file (as well as the matching head and feet files from the downloaded body to my Data\textures\actors\character\BaseHumanMale folder as is specified on the body I adapted installation instructions. However, when i boot up the game (either save or a new game) I am presented with the vanilla body with no changes. Please could someone tell me what I am missing?

grolschhorne Posted September 1, 2016 Author Share Posted September 1, 2016 (edited) So I have finally got it working as intended. I had to do a ton of digging to work out what I needed but I got there in the end. Perseverance paid off in the end. Now I can lay the smacketh down in the wasteland with my Nephew. http://i1031.photobucket.com/albums/y379/gavinhorneuk/20160831234422_1_zpsj6amoztt.jpghttp://i1031.photobucket.com/albums/y379/gavinhorneuk/20160831234429_1_zpsskczfwon.jpghttp://i1031.photobucket.com/albums/y379/gavinhorneuk/20160831234434_1_zps0i1atdss.jpghttp://i1031.photobucket.com/albums/y379/gavinhorneuk/20160903154801_1_zpsv8gtre74.jpghttp://i1031.photobucket.com/albums/y379/gavinhorneuk/20160903154803_1_zpsfdl6tycl.jpghttp://i1031.photobucket.com/albums/y379/gavinhorneuk/20160903154805_1_zps40fxbmqc.jpg Edited September 5, 2016 by grolschhorne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
