Help me create DA's Morrigan on Racemenu ...

[Redflyingmonkey]

Help me out please , I'm horrible at this stuff. My Skyrim Morrigan looks like a crossover between Macho Man and his brother, damn it ... I'm sure it's possible too, everything needed is in Racemenu, not even a need for face sculpting or whatever, but for the life of me I can't reproduce something using a Chargen, any chargen on any game ! I'm sure there must be someone here with some kind of innate talent for this, and it's okay, I mean you do sorcery but that's fine y'know. Use your magic dude ! 

 

I'm talking about her ; 

 

 

 

 

Super bonus cookies if you've played Inquisition and know exactly how she looks like now ! Couldn't find any pic on the google with her new face, plus playing on Xbone so no screenshot... (console :derp:derp:derp:)

[bp70]

is it even possible? Most of the hairstyles used on the main characters aren't available for the player.

 

That, and Inquisition doesnt actually have a real shade of black hair.

On Skyrim, I meant on Skyrim dude 

 

Saw a guy make a pretty clever look a like of Dany Targaryen using DAI's chargen tho, crazy what you can do with basic face bone scaling and movement.

i dont like how she looks in this pic

 

[Redflyingmonkey]

She doesn't really look like that in game too, but it was the only close up face pic I've found... Yet again, she's pretty old in DA I, so I think that's pretty accurate of how she'd be at 40 y/o, no ?. But I'm counting on someone who has played DA games to know what she really looks like !

[Sdesser]

Hmm. Interesting. I might give this a try later today. I'm not saying I'm any good at making character faces, but I've never tried making a character based on a reference, so that's something new!

 

*Edit: inb4 it's 9 hours later. Damn Creation Kit and time warping. At least I got one part of my mods dungeon done and started working on the second one. x)

Perhaps I'll have some time tomorrow to check this out.

 

**Edit: Do you have any other image for reference? Like from a different angle or something. Need one mainly because I've never played Dragon Age.

Is this her?

Okey-dokey. Did some messing around with Race Menu.

 

Tried using this as my reference:

 

Tried to make her a bit older looking (the reference image is her younger?):

 

Is this even close?

[Redflyingmonkey]

Holy fuck you're getting there ! I've been continually trying since I posted this, and mine doesn't look anything like it hahaha ! Was that done on ECE ?

Top picture will always be Morrigan for me.

In my opinion she needs to look a lot more disapproving to be Morrigan, her scowl is pretty much her signature.

also this is a gorgeous character, will you be sharing her preset?

[Sdesser]

Alrighty. Thanks for the feedback. I'll see what I can do, once I actually wake up. Managed to mess up my sleep rhythm once again and slept for 19.5 hours.

 

@Redflyingmonkey:

Nope. RaceMenu 2.9.something. The newest official release anyway.

 

@bitterne:

Sure thing. Attached below!

 

Also made some random preset while I was messing around:

(Don't mind the blocky shadows. I want to run Skyrim at close to 60 FPS and my GPU can't handle shadows that well.)

(Don't mind the blocky shadows. I want to run Skyrim at close to 60 FPS and my GPU can't handle shadows that well.)

 

I'd rather have slightly blurry shadows than sharp ones. I prefer this (for performance):

iBlurDeferredShadowMask=5
fInteriorShadowDistance=4000.0000
fShadowDistance=5000.0000
iShadowMapResolutionSecondary=512
iShadowMapResolutionPrimary=1024
iShadowSplitCount=2

I'll test this out. Thanks!

 

*Edit: Using this at the moment. Shadows cast by characters still look pretty much the same. Other shadows are just fine.

Any tips?

I would advise not looking at page 1224 on the Show Your Skyrim Counterpart Thread

Damn, if I get that preset I'm starting modelling her hair asap, or even adapting a RIP from DAO. Going to beg for it hard, RIGHT NOW 

[Forgotten1337]

Well, if you've recently checked out the Show your skyrim counterpart thread, EstonianJones has a pretty good recreation.  I'm willing to bet if you asked she'd tell you how she managed it.

Almost perfect, but needs a little more whore makeup and a wider nose sellion.

[Slaves of Tamriel]

Here's my take

 

Attached a RaceMenu preset file, in case anyone wants it. And lists of relevant mods to recreate her.

So many Morrigans, I'm drooling all over my keyboard. 

[Slaves of Tamriel]

Updated the screenshots and the preset with proper makeup and some minor adjustments.
