Creating an eye mod; Need help with some things

[Tr3x4Arms3237]

Hi guys,

 

I've decided to take the jump into creating my own mods and creating my own textures, etc. I found that creating spell effects was beyond my skill level, so I'm going to do something I think might be a little less difficult to make.

 

I've got a fairly decent understanding of how to make an eye mod (directing the textures to the meshes, etc) by general understanding. Do I need to create a new entry for each set of eyes for both male and female, both elves and humans, etc? And if I duplicate an eye in the CK, does it automatically add itself to an ESP file when I save it? For example, I've duplicated the file called "FemaleEyesHumanAmber", will renaming it to something like CustomEyeAmber add it to a separate ESP file and I can continue duplicating it and renaming it as I deem necessary?

 

I think for starters, I'm only going to do human-based eyes just so it's easier to complete.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
