Kungfumonkey2011 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Being the person I am, I wanted to put my favorite starwars character's costume into one of my favorite games. Then I thought, I HAVE NO FREAKIN' IDEA HOW TO MOD! So im reallly hoping someone could put Darth Revan into Oblivion. please! I have a net for his armor but its to big, so here is the address --- http://www.theflagshipeclipse.com/gallery/albums/upload/reference/revan/normal_revan_all_views.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natterforme Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 The mask for this already exists I believe. Search under masks and you should find it. There are only about three pages to shift through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natterforme Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Personally no, but ive heard through reputation based off of the mods I download. Cant really help with you on that one^^. I would take a shot at it but Im working on 4-5 armors myself and dont have the time to add another. Sorry :ohdear: . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natterforme Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Depends on several things. You have to either make your mesh, or get the resources from other mods(capes, hats, etc.) and put them together. For now Im making my own meshes and its a lot of fun. Personally I like working on the meshes the most because its easy when you get the hang of it and you have a picture of what you want. the harder parts, at least for me, comes later. You have to texture the meshes, which means creating seams and unwrapping the mesh so it unfolds correctly. You also have to create UV and normal maps so that the texture knows how to align itself to your armor or clothing. Then you have to bone weight the mesh so it fits a body of your choice. These two parts can be tricky because they require trial and error and some background knowledge. The final part requires the exportation of the meshes to nif files, which cant go beyond a certain limit for each mesh piece, otherwise it will send it back to you and tell you to make it smaller. For me, I have been working on these 4-6 armors simultaniously for about a month. Three are near completion but need proper weights and all of them need better textures than the ones Ive been throwing on them to test them in the game. Im sure other people can do it faster though, but Im getting better and more efficient at it as I go along^^. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kungfumonkey2011 Posted July 7, 2011 Author Share Posted July 7, 2011 Well, when you finish your costumes, could you possibly throw this one on your "to-do" list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
