Modding Dark Souls

[EnvyMachinery]

Basically, I'd like to make a mod for Dark Souls that allows you (me) to use a custom body type in the game. I know that that requires a lot of work on my end (making the model, refitting the clothes, rigging the bones, yadda yadda), but there isn't much information on modding this game that I can find. I'd like some help on what programs I'd need to do stuff like rigging the bones and importing the model, especially if I want to make it independent from other body types as a separate thing you can choose during creation.

 

Any information, even a referral to a better place to ask (I've already tried the Dark Souls subreddit. Not sure where else to post), would be greatly appreciated.

Did you get lost on the way to the Dark Souls forums?

You'd be better off asking there, as these are the Skyrim forums. =)

My original intro apologized for being in a different board, but I was in a rush out the door and thought that I was on a general board for some reason. I did intentionally go through the Skyrim nexus, though, because the community is way, way bigger here and I am hoping that I will have a better chance getting a good answer, since a lot of the users here seem like they know a lot about modding in general, and I only know a small amount about modding Skyrim and the tools to do so.

Yeah, the Dark Souls board is literally dead. There have been four replies across eight threads that make up the entire activity of the last six months.
