Exnem body question


Unknnnnn

Recommended Posts

Ok I see this really cool mod - black luster weapons.....

 

It says its made for exnems body..

 

Does this mean I have to install exnems body first??? I am confused......

 

 

Also I'm using Beautiful people and TNR, but I want to be able to use better looking faces for my character, I was wondering if there is a mod that is compatible with TNR And beautiful people that I can use..

 

P.s. I'm a complete noob when it comes to modding, so sorry if my questions are a bit silly.

1. Yes. You'll have to install Exnem EyeCandy or HGEC. Otherwise, you will get weird texture issue.

2. Player face is what you should make during character creation. There're no 'true' face mods for Oblivion, other than textures and base head meshes. All facial shapes are determined by base head mesh and Facegen slider values. It has nothing to do with cosmetic mod(unless said mod changes racial base facegen values) or NPC face revamp mod.

1. In Oblivion and Fallout3, when an actor wears clothes/armor, clothes/armor meshes will replace body meshes. So, in theory, there's no clipping issue with clothes/armor with different shape, unless a long dress or robe uses only upperbody slot. However, most of body replacers use different UV mapping each other, so if a clothes or armor includes portion of skin, wearing it can cause screwed texture, namely 'nipple on thigh' with a body with different UV mapping.

Since HG Eyecandy is derived from Exnem Eyecandy, their UV mapping is basically same(HGEC has more cleaner UV). So no problem with BlackLuster or other ExnemEC clothes/armors.

 

2. Such face can be done with custom head meshes(like Ren's) and textures, I think. When you deal with Facegen sliders, having patience is important. Some will spend hours to make such face, though I'm not that patient person.(I prefer to use SI Facegen to make face, then paste it on save file. It works well with vanilla head mesh-using races)
