Racemenu add-on feature

Recommended Posts

When trying to create presets based on real people such as celebrities, it would be nice if we could select an image file from our computer while in-game and in the racemenu customizing our characters, and also have the ability to make the image transparent and superimpose it over the face of our character.

That not a quick feature unfortunately. To get really accurate skin and faces would require custom skin diffuse and normals for exactly one face, and ideally unique morphs as well, since in-game morphs are generalized for a demographic, like Western European morphs are used in Skyrim, etc

What you really need to get an accurate duplication (instead of "looks just like so and so, that doesn't look at all like so and so) is a 3B scan of their face at the very least, pushed through whatever (not sure, blender maybe?) to generate a Skyrim-ready mesh.

 

And that's just the mesh. We haven't broached texture, skin tone, makeup, unique moles and other tiny little details that define the unique character of a given face or body, etc.

 

TBH, I don't think Racemenu offers enough control points to accurately create a faithful duplication effort of face OR body, and among the dozens and dozens of ostensible "celebrity" mods, I have only seen one that approaches an accurate cartoon reflection of a Hollywood type. Maybe three if I'm being generous. No offense to their authors either. It really boils down to the tools, and no offense there either. Software limitations are a practical reality.
