Skyrim Face/Head files

Recommended Posts

My apologies if the answer to my question is easily found. If so, I couldn't seem to find it.

 

The Question :

 

Where are the files located that contain the information on your head/face that you make in character creation? My first thought was to try the .ess savegame files, but I dont know what I should use to open it.

 

I thought it might be in the bsa archives, and I have an editor for that. However, I didnt think it would be there b/c those are game files unrelated to user character configuration settings, right?

 

 

...lol plz dont call me a noob unless u also tell me what to do XD

I'm not sure where in the save files character appearance is stored.

 

The models are located in meshes\actors\character\character assets

The textures are similar: textures\actors\character\character assets

 

Thanks, I can see all the mesh and texture nif and dds files,...they have one for each option on every slider in character creation. I was hoping i could combine all the meshes and texture into just one for the whole head, or rather i was hoping the game did that for me. However, now I think the information may just be stored in scripts, and the skyrim.esm assembles all the nifs when a savegame is loaded.

 

ok in the mesh directory im in Actors > Character > Facegen Data > facegeom > Skyrim.esm....there a quite a few nifs here...are these the ones combined to make the face/head mesh anyone?

If you want a full head nif, you have malehead.nif and femalehead.nif under meshes>actors>characters>characyer assets. I extracted the female head and it seems to be a basic full head mesh. Maybe it's the base where all the other meshes are put together, haven't look much into it, I'm waiting for the CK to start messing with heads. Hope it helps.
