kingtitan Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Hello all. I recently decided that I had had my fill of extremely ugly vanilla characters, so I decided to do something about it. I have only a few guidelines for my search: 1) NO anime looking characters. Not really into the whole Japanese/anime looking characters.2) Improves the looks of the vanilla races. Mostly I am looking to improve the faces of dremora females but it would be just as good if I could make all vanilla races look better. With that in mind I downloaded Beautiful People as well as this for compatibility sake. I installed the meshes, sound, and textures folders (I don't use thieves arsenal so I had no need for that folder) from the beautiful people mod (first link) and then put in the .esp from the second link in the correct place. However, when I booted up the CS with the .esp from the second link activated, there was no visible difference to any of the usual races at all. Am I doing something wrong or are there additional files I need? I just want to make my chars look much better than vanilla would make them look. I have seen various pictures in different mods of characters (female) that look absolutely brilliant and that's what I want. I can put up some links to some of these if anyone wants a better idea. If anyone with some experience in this area could at least point me in the right direction (as far as links and instructions of what to and what not to install) that would be absolutely great (free kudos too)! Extra info: I am currently using Robert's male body and HGEC for body replacers. If I can provide any more information that will be helpful, please feel free to ask me.

Harvald Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Hi friend, first Beautiful People is the Japanese Modders Stuff. Before installing you have to instell this big race package and Xeorc4. You could use this (http://www.hjsplit.org/windows/) to merge the files together, and then you can install http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=37368 How to use http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SDmT5FjUdw Part one and part two http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUnt0hzU21k&feature=endscreen&NR=1. The last step forget cause canpoon race is optional to MBP. Happy modding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFact Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 (edited) first Beautiful People is the Japanese Modders Stuff. Umm, no(do not confuse BP with BP 2ch edition, which is based on the former). It's nothing but a cosmetic mod with some custom races. It does not make anyone beautiful. You have to make your beautiful character with it.

kingtitan Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 @Harvald: To quote myself before:1) NO anime looking characters. Not really into the whole Japanese/anime looking characters. All of those links had to do with Japanese/Anime looking stuff. I have seen plenty of pictures scattered about of normal looking characters that don't look like Japanese mice. @Lfact, assuming you are correct (which is what I am assuming) how exactly would I go about doing that? Is there a certain head mesh I need? Are there any external programs aside from the FaceGen editor in the CS that I need to use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFact Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 For NPC: Check Tamriel NPC Revamped, Beautiful Women and Handsome Gents(If you don't like everyone looking young, there's revised one). To make good-looking characters: custom head mesh(such as Ren's, idkrrr's, or Head06) and custom facial texture may help, but you need patience(sometimes it can take several hours to make desired face). Using external program like SI Facegen Modeller can help you to make decent-looking face for stock human head mesh or Head06 base head mesh(of course you need converter to transplant the face you made to your save file).

kingtitan Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 The picture below (attached) is pretty much exactly how I would like the NPC to look like. I may give the mod you linked to a shot though Lfact. Is there anyone who knows exactly how I might be able to achieve the below result on my dremora? I know the skin texture is from F-inevOblivion Skinset, that's where the picture came from in the first place. I'll concern myself with the other vanilla races later on, but for now I would specifically like to make female dremora look better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFact Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 You may need to edit stock Dremora race(it can be done simply resetting Facegen value and adjusting it for your liking, but you need to adjust vanilla NPC faces as well), or you need to make a custom race that uses Dremora textures to make such character.

kingtitan Posted March 14, 2012 Author Share Posted March 14, 2012 Here's what I've done so far with a pretty reasonable result:-Got dremora textures from the F-inev skinset mod-changed the head mesh to Ren's 001 head-reset the facegen So far that's all i've done. Not too shabby but not there yet. I guess the rest is manual editing for the most part? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingtitan Posted March 14, 2012 Author Share Posted March 14, 2012 (edited) I figured the most efficient thing would be to talk to the author of the picture directly, and that's exactly what he said he did. Thanks for helping me out LFact! EDIT: I would say besides the hair and eyes (which are still a WIP) not too shabby: Edited March 14, 2012 by kingtitan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
