[partly solved] [search] making a preset from a follower

[MegurineLuka]

there is a chinese follower by the name tianshan tonglu 
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/92148?tab=description&BH=1

 

the reason i want to get her preset is to edit her to make her look like one of this mod creator character

 

 

i'll appreaciate if anyone know any costume or hair from the character above

 

what i've tried :
alternate actors + racemenu mod
tried take control of tianshan tonglu and the appearance change

i tried make my character same race as her but it seems her race is a custom nord race

tried take control of tianshan tonglu change the race and take control of another tianshan tonglu (doesnt change anything) (still face error)
 

if anyone know about the character above or anything regarding tianshan tonglu preset please let me know

 

cheers

 

 

ps* if trying to create preset without mod creator permission is aggainst the rules i'll delete this post

1. Copy meshes\actors\character\facegendata\facegeom\taigi.esp\00002FA9.NIF to SKSE\Plugins\CharGen\00002FA9.NIF

2. Import in RaceMenu.

3. I don't know the hair mod.

Ok, i missed the missing tri files.

When you import a head to ex Nord the NordRace tri settings will be added. This race uses the Base tri settings.

Try the Nord slider in race menu to +.

I tested, the 00002FA9.NIF is based on NordRace so no need to edit the NordRace slider.

The rest is to edit all sliders to you get the best result ?

I think that file is a copy of the default head. Unnecessary, better to link to the original.

Download Tes5Edit, faster to work with.

this what happen when i change it to normal nord base head parts

[MegurineLuka]

nvm i got it 

 

 

 

i try to create to be similar as possible (im noob on this)

After you change you have to update the meshes\actors\character\facegendata\facegeom\taigi.esp\00002FA9.NIF in nifscope.

All NiTriShapes needs new names. When working in nifscope use New Window so you can copy between files.

 

That default head is creepy ?

If a Race don't have tri files, I think Racemenu will use default nord race. It will not work when using head.nif with more Vertices. So in this case its fine.

sorry to say this, but you kinda lost me there

im kinda have some interest in learning how to update meshes with nifscope (as i open 00002FA9.NIF in niscope, i feel not familiar with any of these applications at all) lol

but thanks for your help. i alrd got what i really need it for the head mesh, now i just need to find out what's the outfit on this
