Real Facial Scars, some problems

[KorTheRed]

Okay, so ive worked out how to actually make and sort of add real scars to skyrim.. right now the problem im having is actually implementing it into skyrim in a safe and easy way to use so everyone can use it.. i have already tested out my testscar file by just replacing a map with the standard male head one.. so every male had this.. was just a test to see if i had the right map or what.. it worked just fine.. now to get it to where its player only, for now.

 

So far its just a normal map, i tried just slipping it in the normal map file on some scars.. didt workout too well because i foundout that those scars are sectional not the whole face.. so i figured complexion would work, did the samething but it just became a very well painted scar with light mapping on the scars to make it look 3d when it was in fact 2d.. and it messed up my faces shading.. made the face pretty much pitch black when out of light and super bright in the light though that might be a polygon problem?... if theres a way to fix that so it can be put into the complexion files thatd be great, if not no worrys.

 

i dont know much about texture mapping.. i know a little, so if anyone could help point me in the right direction or tell me where and what im doing wrong thatd be a HUGE help.. been banging my head against the keyboard for about a day now.. would love to be able to make this a easy to use mod so everyone can use it.. once I get the putting it into the game part all done ill make 12 to 15 scar maps and put it up as a scar mod.. would be more than happy to make personal scars for those who can help me out!!

 

this is what it looked like when I placed it directly into the all males face map files.

the left scar goes inward... the runes on the right go outward like a brand.. also these are unpainted, they will be painted to make them look more like a scar then they already do. b
