Facial Textures and Overall Beauty

[youscaryfreak]

I've been searching for a while if there's a way to make a complete replicate of a beautiful screenshot into an actual playable save game/character.

 

For example, is this even possible? http://www.ladymoiraine.com/modules/Galler...enShot12483.jpg

 

Or is that all done with a model viewing program? If it's possible with mods, does anyone know which ones are shown?

 

I've used Ren's Beauty Pack, Elaborate Eyes, many different save games of mystic elves, vampires, etc., body replacers, improved facial textures, and others, but everytime I use one, I can never achieve that certain beauty. I always get that mandatory visible neck line that you can see clearly in the following picture. Here's one of my female characters close-up:

Not bad, but how can I get the glowing effect and the smoothness of the skin, with the extremely detailed hair and eyes and clothing of the other screenshot? At the moment, she looks like a vampire. Her cheeks, chin, and forehead look like they have shades of purple in them.

 

Another reference picture: how can I get something like this: http://www.tessource.net/files/images/-117...5-TESSource.jpg

 

I mean, c'mon, there's a huge difference to what the mods depict and what I'm getting. Am I doing something wrong?

Are your video setting max everything (including resolution)? And also, try finding a building that has the same type of light.

 

I don't really know, I'm new to this Oblivion modding community, but I'm just guessing.

I have all settings maxxed, my resolution is 1440x900, HDR is on along with AA, my .ini is tweaked for quality, etc.

 

Also, why is it that during the race menu where you choose your hair, eyes, and race, the character you're editing seems to be prettier than in the actual game?

Because the lighting effects are set to bright so you see imperfections and flaws in the skin, I stick with Mystic Elves because they arn't frickin' breaded like most stalk Oblivion women are. If your looking for a place to take a screenshot, I suggest a bright place usually illuminated by a fire.
