Player heads?

Post » Fri Jul 23, 2010 7:31 pm

Any good mods that adds player heads that you can recommend?

Also, how do i add my own player head (including a new mesh, not just a retexture), i guess it requires me to do something in the TESCS?

Thanks.

To add a head from a resource that doesn't come with it's own ESP, pop open the CS and click the bodyparts tab. Right click the list, hit new. The rest is quite self explanatory - just make sure to check off that the head is playable and set it's gender. When the CS says "Art file" it means the mesh you want to use. You'll have to find that in the explorer that pops up, etc etc.

Pretty much, to find great heads just stop over at PES and put "Westly" in the search field. :P

Great :) Aren't there any short hairs out there.. I kind of miss more "normal" looking hairs in MW.

I wanted to test how bump mapping worked on heads. It didn't really make that much difference. http://piclair.com/data/v88py.jpg looks kind of stupid here because i overdid the glossiness on the lips (i should have used a female model instead of my own lol). Most of the time you don't notice any difference, only in some lightning conditions. Meh, moving onto something else ;)

Corean Hair probably has the most variety of hairs.

Second this, and the person you want for heads is definitely Westly. :)

Illuminiel also has some great Redgaurd and Wood Elf heads. I use a combination of Hers and Westlys.

Corean hair just added long hairs and the ears looked really bad with the hairs, stood out like crazy.

Im using Better Heads, it doesnt seem very compatible with it because the head clipped through many of the hairs too..

Ok, gonna check out Illuminiel's stuff, i've seen her screens they usually look great :)

:shrug:

I think the ears look fine (without modelling new ones, that is; I am probably biased since I put the mod together, though ;) ); I worked with them for a long time just to make the ears work and fit in the proper places on the hairs, but there were just some instances where there would be some odd clipping.

As for the compatibility with Better Heads, it stood to reason that I could not make the hairs fit every single head mesh perfectly without making them too big to be believed would fit on the head. So, I made sure that they worked with most of the heads in my head pack that I was able and left it at that (as they will be made use of in my comprehensive head and hair replacer eventually).

:D

The ears looked strange on my face texture, but my ears are very flat to the head so i guess it could be a reason i thought it looked odd hah

Anyways, great work with the heads and hairs :)
