The skeletons in MCA 5.2 does not have any neck mesh. Instead, the spine from the chest mesh goes all the way into the head resulting in flying heads when clothes and armor is equipped. I've tried to add a neck from other mods but all the skeleton race mods uses some strange texture that is very dark even in full ambient lightning (in editior when you press "A"). This also result in two necks of different shape and color when there is no armor equipped, which looks rather dreadfull.

Is there someone with the mesh editing skills who could separate the neck part into a separate mesh?

I'm wondering if there would be problems getting the spine to line up properly with a separated neck.

But, I do see in NIFScope that the spine part is separate from the ribcage. Perhaps a good approach for a modeler would be to remove the spine from the torso entirely (it's Shannon's work in MCA), and work from there to make a spine and neck that match up well.

I would also be very interested in the parts for this if it is done, for some mods I am working on.

you could use the skeleton race in http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=136072&id=6777

I made also a version of the liches where they have red eyes that turn to black when they die.

I'll upload it next weeks.

tried it out

I could exchange all the meshes but it would be a shame not to use the current ones. It's a crude solution but better than floating skulls ^^

you may want to use http://arcimaestroantares.webs.com/UN_SKelNeckCHestGroin.nif

use it 3 times: for neck, chest and groin. You may use it to replace the other neck/chest/groin mesh from Arise from Death mod.

thanks Arcimaestro Anteres!
