The 揘PC Head Replacer?Comparison Thread!

Post » Sun Nov 24, 2013 6:55 pm

Thx..

Well I have experience in modeling and texturing faces, due to making faces for Pro Evo Soccer /smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />
The thing is if I want to make a mod that gives ALL the npcs a unique combination of face & hair, I need to know how. As far as I know the CS alone, only allows me to replace the vanilla heads?!
Read somewhere I should do this with help of the Morrowind Enchanted Editor, but I couldnt figure out how.

I guess I will ask some of the modders who released a full npc replacer.

The process is easy but can be tedious because there's no bulk way of doing it. What you have to do is create a head and hair body part for each head and hair (they're separate, so it's two body parts and not one). After all that's done, you then need to assign each head and hair to the NPCs. If you decide to make your own meshes, remember that ears have to be attached to the hair mesh, and not the head mesh. All that the head mesh has is the face and the skin tone of the face. If you want a bald head, just add the ears to the hair mesh and don't create any hair.

A replacer using Westly's heads was released in July - "http://morrowind.nexusmods.com/mods/42189#" - downloading now to test and maybe add some screenshots for these NPCs.

Sorry to bump this, but does anyone have an idea of what headpack this character is using?

That looks like it comes from Westly's Master Head pack. If not, then it's one of Illuminel's heads, but I'm leaning towards Westly.

Awww, that's my girl, 'Mia! /wub.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wub:' /> She's one of Westly's, though not "vanilla"... I made some small edits to one of his gorgeous faces, but yeah... definitely Westly's work.

I still prefer Morrowind's vanilla heads to any of these replacers. None of them really try to match the way the characters looked originally, and I get a serious "Uncanny Valley" vibe from a lot of them.

Try Westly's Pluginless Replacer - it really maches original style. In fact, faces there are almost the same as vanilla, but much better quality.

Nice character though, I took inspiration from her and used the same hair (albeit with some deviations), but the face is different. /biggrin.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' />

But but but鈥?pictures of Orginal Faces were added to the OP in august 2012!

Mhmmm鈥?maybe I should reconsider my policy of sneaky updates, after all.
In the future I will make sure that no update goes unnoticed.

The following pics have went missing...perhaps they could be re-uploaded please?

Beryl's Head Replacer pic II and pic III
Changing Faces NPC Replacer by Leeloo pic I and pic II
Gary Noonan's Head Pack pic III
THE Morrowind NPC Makeover pic II
Vvardenfell Visages Volume I pic III
Unique Faces Seyda Neen, pic III
Original Faces, pic II
World of Faces, pic I


The following mods have new homes:
http://mw.modhistory.com/download-42-12386 has a new home on MMH so no-one has to go through all the CNET DL crap ever again
An older copy of http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=1007 has been found and located via the wayback machine. http://mw.modhistory.com/download-42-12387 in ACE file format. RAR file format version still MIA, but it can be hoped that the RAR was just an updated packaging of the ACE version.

http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=1789 by Gary Noonan is MIA at the moment

Edit: Issues fixed, Thank-you AfroKing, http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=1789 & http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=1007 (rar version of archive) still MIA

Thank you for the update, several small issues remain:

1. Orginal Faces, pic II and III match each other.
2. (I forgot to report this) the link for Unique Faces Seyda Neen needs to be updated to http://morrowind.nexusmods.com/mods/14006
3. (I forgot to report this) Unique Heads I - Balmora lives on MMH now: http://mw.modhistory.com/download--1399
4. (I forgot to report this) Beryl's Head Replacer v1.0 lives on MMH now: http://mw.modhistory.com/download--3275


Edit: Issues fixed, Thank-you AfroKing
