Making a Custom Animated Main Menu Background

Recommended Posts

Hi. So, I painted my own player character, slapped it on to one of the numerous main menu replacers on nexus (done by replacing the mainmenuwallpaper(dot)dds file) and got it working in my game. Now I want to take it to the next level.

I want to rig my 2D painting using either Live2D, Dragonbones, or Character Animator, animate a breathing combat pose idle and then turn that into my Skyrim menu BG. Think the main menu of MGS V, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, Batman Arkham Series... pretty much any modern game where you see the main character animated while you're playing around the main menu. That's what I'm trying to emulate.

I guess I just need help after I do all the rigging and animation, what route can I take to export it to Skyrim? Can I just record the animated idle pose as a video and export that? What's the file type? What tools do I need for conversion if I need to do any? Very basic stuff like that. I'd appreciate anyone who could steer me in the right direction. I currentlly have SSEEdit and the Creation Kit installed, but I have absolutely no experience with either, except maybe dialog edits in SSEEdit.

Cheers!
