How to create a custom race?

[Newgamemodder]

Hi nexus,

 

Like the title says i want to create a custom race based on oni's facial tri shapes and such. i also want to create a new body (so i can have several meshes with different body textures), so essentially a copy of the female human race for npc's

 

How would i create one?, i have 3 races i want to create (1 is just a head race, and the other 2 are just new bodies i want with human heads). The only thing i know i need to do is batch build ALL outfits with the new body and rename them and rename the textures the .nif's use.

 

How do i create an entry for the head and bodies so they can have all clothing/hair and such

 

Thank you!

Official bump:

 

So i've read about armoraddons. I see you can select it for different races. But is it possible to have a different .nif for 1 race (human) and another .nif for another race?, or is it not possible?

 

I am confused about this:

" to make the armor available to multiple species with different body plans (like the Welding Goggles)."

a long form Inboxing is headed your way;

though, I wholeheartedly encourage this kind of modding!

 

I recommend you watch Marco's Tute from Bethnet,

as well as PoorlyAged, RedRocketTV etc,

then, you can check out tutes at Minds, github, and thisweekintech on how to do that.

it's a little fiddly, as it really requires 3DSMax (2015) with particular pluggins and codec installed to do the pathing right etc.

those are available from bethnet

it is worth it though, as it looks great once you've done it.

You can then make it as an ESL, ESX or other format for the batch/pivot stuff.
