How about just sharing that beautiful Rachel face on the nord mesh (with teaspoons permission of course since since it was his/her? original request), awesome job HG you have sure become an outstand face modder.

Btw if teaspoon wants to keep special face for his/her own that is perfectly understandable since it was a special request and some people really like to have there own unique character.

Wow, very talented. Really, this is fantastic. I grabbed a few here, and I must say it's just amazing. really appreciate you putting these out there. Thanks much!

May I humbly request an 'Olivia' style Betty Page ? Or would the hairstyle complicate things ?

And a total noob question for anyone with patience: where do I put these dds/nif/Skin folder ? *sigh* Oh, I hope it's simple enough for me to do.

I'll try it on a couple other meshes Craigor.

It's up to teaspoon Faylynn...if he sees this he can let us know one way or the other

Betty Page eh? There is sure no shortage of photos of her on the net (an unbelievably vast amount of them actually..for somebody from that era)...most don't really concentrate on her face though oo: If I do find something usable I could try making it..the vast majority of them are in black and white too which are of no use. As for the hair..that would need a new mesh..something I don't know how to do. There might be something close out there already made though.

Here's some directions for installing these files that I had posted on another forum...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First off each of these heads needs 2 or sometimes 3 different files to work. The first is the mesh (the .NIF file) which provides the actual 3-d shape of the head in the game. The second is the texture (the .DDS file(s)....they can be .TGA or even .BMP sometimes too though) which covers the mesh sort of like a coat of paint would cover a head shaped wooden block Very Happy Most normal heads have just 1 texture for the actual face. Vampire heads (and some others) have 2 .. 1 for the face and the other for the glowing eyes.

To apply these files to your player character with the CS do as follows.

Place the .nif into the main Mw meshes folder (this can be just placed loose in there or you can create a subfolder for it and place it inside and put that whole thing into Mw meshes if you like...if you have numerous files you want to keep together for some reason like in a mod you release normally a subfolder is used..not really needed though). Nothing should be getting overwritten..if it is just change the name of the nif.

Place the textures into the main Mw textures folder. Once again they can be put in there loose (the filepaths in all the .nifs I release aside from actual mods are preset for that)..or you can create a subfolder for them..though if you go the subfolder route you need to adjust the filepaths in the nif to point inside that folder (the filepaths in the .nif tell it exactly where to "look" for the correct texture..if they are written wrong the game will never find it). Once again..no actual texture should be overwritten..though you can merge folders if they have the same name without causing any problems.

Fire up the CS..for stock races load the main Mw esm (we'll deal with custom races in a bit).

Click on the bodyparts tab..then right click on it and select new. You'll get a screen like this..

Just fill in all the data..make up an ID for it (something that won't be the same as one already in use by the game). Part has to be head..part type is skin..check off female only if the head is for a female. Check playable..select the race you want it for..and select normal (the other option is vampire..different tutorial for setting it up if anyone wants)..leave the blocked box unchecked. Where it says add art file..click and you'll be taken into the main Mw meshes folder. There you have to find the nif you placed there earlier and select it. Then save by clicking OK on the box..then save again in the upper left of the CS main window under file.

That takes you to another screen..there you have to fill in a name for the new esp you just made...


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v644/harborgolfer/Face%20Tutorial/ht2.jpg

and save again. Viola..now that head will show up in chargen or with enableracemenu for whatever race you specified once you check off the new esp. Likely a good idea to clean the new esp with testool or Enchanted editor or something before using it though.

For custom races..the procedure is identical..except you need to load up the race esp to begin with rather than the Mw esm and set it as active before doing any modifications.

An alternate (and easier..though it has drawbacks) method for installing the head is just to install the textures normally..and then find the current nif for the head your character presently has. Then simply re-name whichever new one you want to use to be the same and overwrite it. Done..now the game will load the new nif and the head will be changed..the original head will no longer show up in chargen though..and any NPC's that may use it will also get the new head.

These are all on Vampire meshes but will work just fine set up as normal heads..you don't even see the fangs unless the animations run.

I tried a couple other meshes..and honestly didn't like how they looked well enough to even post a picture. I don't know if we'll find a better one for her.

I did (finally) find 1 other semi-usable pic of her though..and used it for an overlay to give the original a bit more colour and to better define the nose...want http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v644/harborgolfer/general2/ScreenShot2449.jpg variant?

I think it looks great on that mesh HG. :thumbsup:

sure i'll take that one too thanks!!

You definitely don't need my permission! It doesn't belong to me in any way. I'm just glad that harborgolfer was kind enough to answer my request
EDIT: Oh, and I'm very happy with how she http://i327.photobucket.com/albums/k478/Teaspoon_of_Insanity/ScreenShot2.jpg http://i327.photobucket.com/albums/k478/Teaspoon_of_Insanity/ScreenShot1.jpg

Wonderfully kind of you Teaspoon, thank you. HG can I please get a copy of that beautiful Rachel face on the nord mesh?

Can we all get it?

Sounds like it's Ok with T.o.I..so here she is

Thank you HG. :icecream:

Thanks very much Harborgolfer - your faces are incredible. Can I ask please if you have specific races in mind when you make them?

No problem

Not usually Illuminiel..except for the odd one that I think looks like an elf..or whatever (like one of the faces I opened the thread with). Usually I just try to get them to look as much as possible like the sourcepic. Including the skin tones..so most of what I have posted here really won't match any race perfectly. If I use one of them personally I usually tint a skin to match the face...not vise versa. I do try and do faces that I think are going to look different from stuff I've already done though.

o_O She is nice and cute) Thanks for face, HG

Thanks again for these great files Harborgolfer. Am just creating my own NPC replacer and remembered your beautiful faces - am so glad they are still available for downloading - thanks to you Neve, Jodie and Lara will be joining Sasha, Heather and Jessica in my Breton Brigade.

Very beautiful work, thank you so much for sharing

thanks for the comments

I got time to try a new one today..Michelle Trachtenberg off "BuffY" ...

I narrowed the nose a tiny bit since these were taken..otherwise it looks quite a bit like the sourcepic..anyone wants the files post here and I'll upload them

Oh yeah...definitely

That's a fantastic likeness!

Nice work! Please upload.

They look great but somehow "too perfect" for Morrowind; their faces really stand out in the dated game engine; they look like photograph masks ina graphic textured world....Thats one of my only complains about the more realistic face packs that pop arround here nowadays, they look too much like pictures and don?t mesh as well with the gameworld. The older face packs that used photoreference had a much lower res look that flowed better with the overall look; they might not have look as striking but they looked better

Thank you. It's much appreciated.

These are all wonderful face textures, and hairstyles!

Thanks for the input everyone..Cabron..I understand your viewpoint (though I don't share it )..the enjoyment I get out of these however is seeing how close I can come to what the original pic looked like (which honestly isn't all that difficult if you use some of the gorgeous hi-res digital pics showing up online nowadays)..and..trying to get them to look like there is some sort of expression..that's a bit more difficult and I don't always get quite what I'm after with them :blink: The hi-res faces sure go together nicely with some of the new skins out now though..in particular Westly\Cappucines recent release.

anyhow..here's the link..I left her mouth open a bit on the tex so the talk anim might look a bit oddly shaded..otherwise I think it's OK..anyone finding mistakes post here

Just throwing a couple cents in; I love your Nord Rachel Leigh Cook as well as Laura Croft.
Your faces are wonderful and I agree they go well with the new skins. Speaking of which, I just got an idea for a mod.

Nice work, Harborgolfer.
