Advice On Creating A New Race

[Bludragan]

O.K I have seen (and played ) many excellent race plug in's and was wondering if there is a way to make a werewolf based race (only in werewolf form permanently)without them being treated as werewolves?

 

 

 

 

 

P.S. I would prefer to use the pre-formed textures and .NIF's Bethesda supplied or any that are already made (my modelling skills are all about standing in front of a camera and that is it :D )

 

thank you for all replies in advance .

OK, you'll need to do the following at least:

 

1. Set up your race's basic stats, powers and abilities, description, name etc. in the Character > Race dialog. Work this out first, because you need the race reference for the next step.

 

2. Identify the models used for the werewolf bodies and assign them to the appropriate body parts (under the "Body Part" tab in the Object Window.) For examples, look in the list for anything starting with b_; this should give you an understanding of what's what. You'll need one of each, for each sex:

a. ankle

b. chest

c. foot

d. forearm

e. groin

f. hair

g. hand

h. hand.1st (this is probably a pun on 'fist')

i. head

j. knee

k. neck

l. upper arm

m. upper leg

n. wrist

Which comes to at least 28 body part references, not including different head-styles and vampire ones. Don't forget any, since it looks damn strange with parts missing.

 

Those seem to be the main two parts to creating a race.

Thanks for the info :D I will try it out a little later as I have been working on a city right now (for vanilla MW) and hope I get it right .

 

 

 

P.S. I believe the 1.st refers to first person view :P

I've thought about this too. Perhaps you could use the werewolf head that was supplied in Bloodmoon, there is a single mesh of it, and attach it to the khajiit body in a new mod. But then where would you get a wolf tail from? Maybe you could retexture a racer plume to look like a wolf's tail but that would probably look terrible.

 

Do you know how to make a new race in TESCS? I can tell you if you don't.
