» Sun Jul 03, 2011 3:30 am I grabbed a mod the other day called 'Midnight Helm' which adds a unique helm as an additional quest reward when you complete the Thieves Guild missions (ala the Cowl of Nocturnal in Oblivion). I like the concept quite a bit, but I wanted to change the stats on the item.
That part is easy.
The difficult part is the model - the one included with the mod is a rework of a Morag Tong helm, but it doesn't mesh well with BB/BH and there is some fairly nasty clipping at the neck.
I had a go at changing it...then gave up and decided I would look for a better helm that looked a little more like the Cowl of Nocturnal - although I don't want a direct copy of that.
I grabbed the 'Death Dealer Helm' mod and played around with the model in NifSkope. I removed the disks, the horns and the spike - what's left is a pretty cool Cowl shaped helm. However, it's not quite right. I feel the helm is actually oversized (at least with the BB/BH models anyway) so I resized it and tilted slightly to make it line up. The problem I have with it is that the bottom 'spikes' to either side of the mouth curve out and away from the face, which looks a little 'gappy' from below. The texture also does not look right at all with the other components removed.
I've tried to play around with the model in Blender but I really, really can't get to grips with it. I'm no artist,
What I'd really like to know is:
1) Does anyone know of a retexture for the DDHelm that might work?
2) Does anyone know of any particularly suitable helms? I'd like something unique rather than a retexture of a standard item.
3) If the answer is no to both, would anyone be kind enough to make me one?
Thanks for taking the time to read this,
