Request/Advice SFM model to body mod [SORIA]

[ssjkirby]

This is bascally a request for anyone who wants to take it up, but Is it possible to convert SFM models to body meshes for skyrim? I dunno if you all have seen, [i mean it's not to have if you're interested in the content on this particular board >_>] A certain SFM artist over at naughtymachinima named Vaako [a.k.a. legend] has made quite a few amazing animations featuring his OC, 

 

Soria: 

(It isn't realistic but the unrealistic figure enhances sexyness in this situation by all means)

Stills and pictures really don't do her justice so I suggest you check out his public videos, NSFW mind you, make sure no ones looking over your shoulder

Also, I'd like to get into modeling, in particular weapon meshes and textures, but bodies on the side too so I can make personalized variations of things or make my own, where should I start?

BUMP, I'd like some advice on modeling atleast.

I was scanning the forum threads and found some very good advice and links to modding techniques.  I think they were on the previous page, 17 or 16 I think.  One had advise from Arrok, one of the premium modders along with some of his work that can be used.

Interesting my search would lead me back to loverslab. I was actually just looking to see if anyone had undertaken the same thing, and looked into what it would actually take.

Vaako's the one who first did most of the Soria animations and picture you see everywhere, and released the model data he used for gmod awhile back (You'll find that data and her human derivatives on digitalero). Of course, since Soria herself is from unreal you can find her more vanilla model data around as well.

Which I'd actually love to see find its way into fallout or skyrim. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTRwsuAdtKk, http://vaako-7.deviantart.com/art/The-blue-swashbuckler-339248721

 

 

 

Once you have that, you can find a tutorial with links to all the necessary applications and plugins for importing sfm resources into blender here, and from there I'm sure you could find one for exporting it as a .nif+.dds without too much trouble. As for actually rerigging each of the bones, that's something else entirely. It could be deceptively easy, but I'm guessing it'd be tedious and time-consuming.

Getting the assets out of the compiled SFM models is the easy part, as far as I'm concerned. However, I have never had an ounce of luck with modding gamebyro games. I love downloading mods for Skyrim, but actually doing anything for it seems to be out of my range of abilities. I would be happy to provide files to anyone who wanted to attempt it though.
