[REQUEST] Salma Hayek face preset [SOLVED]

[Ezarr]

So I've been trying like crazy to recreate Salma Hayek's face in Skyrim but it has been an struggle, her face is to complex. This was the closest I got (NSFW): 

Spoiler

 

 

As you cans see it is not good enough to do her glory. Then I found this 3D work of her (NSFW):

 

Spoiler

 

Her face textures still looks like shit, but I think the face sculpture is on point. So I want to know if someone out there could make a face sculpture using some 3D program to get as close to the real thing. Or if someone with good skills with ECE/ Racemenu could share me a face preset.

um not sure but her facial shape might be easier to reproduce with COTR high poly face. At least her facial shapes resembles it to me that she is close to that.

Sorry, is that Citrus head? Cause I'm already using it.

I did not look into it before. People did some awesome celeb presets with it. https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/98585

 

By reading the descriptions it appears that the character creation overhauls has its own face mesh so it should count as another high poly addon.

 

And examples, note that these are SE mods but probably skyrim LE compatible as we are speaking of data files.

I havent tried COTR myself but it appears to be able to do pretty amazing things. I am using the usual high poly face for SE and some presets have problems with nose normal maps etc. Hoping this head would work better. Also the quality of the preset vary very much. Some are really awesome some pretty bad.  Need to give it a look myself at some point.

i will do my best to honor her

Ps: You did a really good job on her. If i'am using "COtR", it's because it offer a high poly head mesh like "high poly" mod but it adds a lot of sliders which are not by default in racemenu. (I have never used "high poly" yet so I don't know if it adds any too)

Looks like you are getting there. Is  a bit hard to tell cause of the textures you are using, but the head sculpt is looking good. These are my recommendations:

 

Spoiler

 

The space between the brows should be a bit more reduced, brows also could be thinner and the lips a bit less thicker.

 

post pics of more angles if you can.

 

I can see you reduced her jaw in the second pic, her jaw is tricky as hell hehehe

Would I need to have COTR high poly face for it to work?

[daxoss]

Sorry! I'am not an expert so i don't know but probably.

Oh my misunderstanding! if you want to use the presets for Skyrim LE, you obviously need COtR for LE and its all requirements.
Download any presets, open Skyrim, open racemenu then choose dz nord race then choose the preset (at this point, the head become blue but it does not matter), go to sculpt mod and export the presets you want. Then reload a save, open racemenu, again chose nord race (but work also with another COtR race), go to scuplt mod and import the nif file. Done!
But i think it won't be quite like mine, you'll have to rework it a bit (that's how I did when I imported some presets from LE to SE)
Hope this wil help you

I hope it does not vary too much from your picture. Where can I download the files?
