[screenshots] show and explain your oblivion.

[TaiKenZo]

Hello, tes nexus.

This topic will hopefully become a topic where people show screenshots and explain their oblivion.

this means, explaining why you like it the way you play it, and if possible, tell us how you did it using mods.

I still dabble in creating faces with Singular Inversions Facegen when I have spare time.

This is done by googling actual photos of celebrities or people I know and using them in the software, then exporting to Oblivion using Construction Set.

Yikes...Obama in Oblvion! I knew it...he's everywhere! :blink:

 

My PC isn't built to run Oblivion at it's highest settings, or even halfway there, so I focus on just making sure my people look good, the environments are really secondary for me. I really play the game for the gameplay more than the graphics anyway, and I did have an opportunity to play it on the PS3 before playing it on my PC, I definitely prefer the ability to mod and the PC controls over the visuals of the console. Anyway below are a few pics of a couple of my characters against a few different textures, you can see which actually stands out obviously. The first pic is my main character right now, Valeria, the third one down is my "evil character", a vampire named Lylandra, then below are a couple of the CM partners I use.

As far as the actual mods I use, they are mostly quest mods, and I use CM partners for most of my partner needs. I also use BAB bodies and some skin smoothing mods to get rid of the lumpy Vanilla face textures. Um, Deadly Reflex is another I use, beyond that, I really don't use much else worth mentioning besides the quest mods.

Valeria looks awesome. I too value the way my characters look over environments and even gameplay. I spend more time on faces than playing. On the clip below I experimented on a face texture, which as a rule has a low resolution quality. I grafted stretched sections of an actual photo of the actor onto the facial texture for a higher quality, more photo realistic look. Seems to help.

Wow, thats incredible. I'm so used to seeing realistic face meshes coming out looking a bit flat, but this and the ones before look great. I'm not too familiar with the programs you use to design these, but i'd say you have a real talent for character model/mesh design!
