Player model replacement

[fennecwind]

Is it possible for a mod to replace the player model with, for example, Dogmeat? I know that no armor would fit, don't care, I just think it would be fun :)

Well, technically it is possible to replace the player model, and there are several replacers doing just that. For example the Type 3 and Type V bodies.

 

But, first of all, if you don't want to replace everyone else, you'd have to define a new race that you'd pick. There is no such thing as a player model, there is just a model for a race. Everyone of that race, uses that model. (To the extent that kids are actually separate kid races.)

 

Second, I think the model would have to be rigged to have the same bones, or the game would crash when trying to put a vault suit on you. So basically you'd have to make an anthro furry kind of dog :P

 

Which, granted, a few people would be all over it :P

Ok, thanks for the info. It looks like it might be beyond my ability, but I suppose anthro versions might be fun too :)

no there may be an easier way create a armor to make dog meat that may work, I am unsure though. never tryed it my self

I think it's doable in theory.

 

there should be a way to do this with OBSE FOSE. much like the polymorph spell. :shrug:

 

you won't get first person with polymorph, unless you make a 1st person skeleton and all the anims.. and no clothing or weapons would be equitable... clothing might be doable. but weapons.. :whistling:

 

Doing it the other way I have in my head.. just forget it... you don't have the time and it'll be rife with issues. I'm a bit tired to really think on the matter.
