So has there been any thoughts toward a set body type spell for Skyrim?

Because why choose one when you can have them all?

If I ever get started on Skyrim modding, that's the first thing on my list of things to do.

 

For now, I'm still having too much fun writing Blender scripts.

My first thought was 'Hey that's an interesting idea! Why don't I make one?' and then I realised the reason noone has already is because of the way Skyrim files work - you see, it would be possible to make such a spell, and effectively changing the race (each race would be called CBBE, UNP etc with their own directories in Skyrim/Data) - however the way clothes/armour work with textures, you would keep reading the female body texture from one directory for all existing armors - so basically if you wanted to switch from CBBE to UNP via spell, *POOF*, new shape but the body texture would look well screwy - only way around this is to effectively overwrite textures files via some bespoke code whilst playing, which would be a) tricky and well dodgy.

 

So, sadly don't think this interesting idea can be made real - OFC if someone want's to prove me wrong then great - best mod EVA!

I'd say custom races can have its own texture files, so I think this spell is possible.

 

I managed to achieve something with the NoNo MyHighHeels mod. It provides different folders where to put unp and cbbe meshes and textures and change them ingame. Hands didn't work well though.

I think one of the pre-requisites for me to work on a Setbody for SKyrim will be to first finish my automated UV Map copier (in the planning stage, but nothing concrete yet) so that I could create versions of the body meshes standardized to a single UV wrap standard.

 

Of course, I'd really like to wait for a solid Skyrim nif importer for Blender before I even attempt any of this.

Gerra6 I was almost abuot to ask in the Oblivion forum of such a mod-btw yours is fantastic!-,since I havent played Skyrim yet,I am  Oblivioncoholic!.When you create and release it,its gonna be one of my top choices,judging from your work in Oblivion

Actually, with AV (automatic variations) you can already have a dozen+ texture sets for the same object/actor. All you'd need to do (disclaimer: this is a relative term, it'd actually be a lot of work) is examine AV's code to determine how it knows to read from different texture directories, and work that code into the script invoked by your change-bodies spell to also change the texture set read for that specific actor, so the texture and meshes line-up.

BodyChange changes the texture. Not that I know what I am talking about.

 

(Did a google Setbody Skyrim lead me to here )

Futanarium kinda did it. Could be seen as a proof of concept I suppose.
