Create character from npc

[bensprinkle]

Hi, I have a cool follower that I am using and was wondering how I could create a level 1 character that looks exactly like her.

 

The follower is using all standalone meshes and textures too, if that makes things easier.

 

Thanks!

Bump.

Have you tried locating the actor in the creation kit?

 

Type her name in to the object window filter making sure that either "all" or "actors" are selected to refine your search.

 

When you find her, right click and click edit. (Note: if you right click her physical form in the cell view window and click edit you will need to click "edit base" in the new window that pops up) Then look at the tabs along the top, click "Character Gen Parts". Look at the base head parts area for facial information and you can find the hair colour at the top.

 

Then go to the "Character Gen Morphs" tab and make notes of the other facial details, lip, eye and nose type for example. Take a screen shot of the sliders if it helps and refer back to it when you are creating your character.

 

Hope this helps,

I've tried making presets and such going into the actor window, duplicating the npc, etc. But it uses custom meshes and textures which the game doesn't want to load for some reason. It also uses some tri files for the eyes and face and such, which are also not being loaded for the preset. (Face morph files for elf ears and stuff like that)

 

I'm thinking I might just have to create a custom race and try it that way. This is hurting my head. T_T
