Joy of Perspective style 1st person body

[mejoff]

Hi All,

What do we think the chances are of someone being able to make the player's body visible in 1st person, like the Enhanced 1st Person/joy of Perspective type mods for Oblivion/skyrim/fallout3 etc?

Also, while we're at it, something to keep the camera in 1st person when sitting down or stepping up to a workbench?

Chances are very low. One wouldn't only need to make an SFSE plugin that disables several parts of the vanilla code and comes with a custom anim manager, they'd also need to make over a hundred first person animations which is quite difficult especially if they don't have access to professional animation equipment and software. A mod to exit / enter furnitures in first person is much more easier.

For Oblivion, (i think it was...) They did a 'fake first person', and just put the third person camera right behind the eyes of the body. That actually worked reasonably well.

Yes, that's literally all any of the previous mods have been. they exist for Oblivion and Skyrim and Fallout 3 expressly because they just used the 3rd person models and animations.

 

Nobody is suggesting completely re-animating the entire game. This is something that has been achieved before.
