Creating a custom race or altering NPCs with Daz Studio Genesis?

[Giichil]

There is one thing I have noticed missing from Skyrim modding, or maybe I just haven't found it yet.

 

Aliens.

 

I don't mean xenomorphs or predators either. I have enough of those in my game.

 

I mean actual abduction type aliens.

 

I happen to have custom morphs and textures in Daz 4.9 Pro, but I don't know how to apply to Skyrim.

 

Skyrim deals with .nif, whereas the custom morphs affect the Genesis model and don't seem to turn into a .nif?

 

I could be mistaken.

 

I want either the player character (perhaps via a custom race) to be an alien, or perhaps many more NPCs later on.

 

Like what I have now in Daz, big black eyes, grey skin, three fingered hands. Here's an example:

The problem is that -- you should first read Daz's EULA regarding user-made models.

Well, if we can use purchased models to create renders and even sell those renders, then what's the problem importing them personally into my Skyrim?

don't try to understand they don't make much sense

 

there are dozen of daz outfits converted to unp or cbbe, is there a problem wearing them? no

some body textures are from daz too, is there a problem using them? no

you can even put victoria 4.2 into skyrim and call her demonica, nobody will care about that (but if you start saying it's you who made it, that's another storie)

 

if they don't want it, don't give it to them that's all ^^

Oh, I just altered skin textures. The original skins you see in the far above example picture isn't even what I'm going to use. Nope, I don't want to take credit for anything. All I want is aliens in my Skyrim. So do you know, or know of people who would know how to convert that custom morph (into a .nif mesh maybe?) and the textures over to Skyrim? Perhaps as a custom race? I need instructions, I'm walking blind here :­P This is just the start, because these are awesome aliens. Once I have them in my Skyrim, I can then waste gobs of time modding the game to look all sci-fi and completely un-lorefriendly. Flying cars. Phaser pistols. Indoor technology. All Dwemer ruins will be steel metal. I had a dream, but they cut the development of the game Backspace.

there's a daz to 3dmax tutorial somewhere

 

here's what i do

 

- export your skyrim bodie in a .obj and load that in daz

- do something like that

 

- that will allow you to copy paste the weight from unp or whatever to your nif in bodyslide

- export your daz bodie to a .obj, reverse z or it will have to be turn around

- import that in blender or 3dmax

- there's probably a part for the back of the head, one for the thigh, one for the tits... merge that (you can put about 25 000 verticles per nif) (but check the uv map so it load texture from the same file)

- assign the eyelash to a new part and get rid of it you can't export because of them (daz heads are a pain in the ass)

- in nifskope, as usual, 12 83, sbp_x, textures path

- load that in bodyslide with a merged unp or whatever as reference (to have everything)

- copy bone weight (only 3 fingers, so that will need some edits)

- that's it, your alien use xpms so he can dance in whiterun if you want

 

Export as an .obj from the CK?

The weight from UNP? Bodyslide? 

I'll have to watch YouTube tutorials on Blender and/or 3DMax.

Nifskope, I have that.

Bodyslide again.. merged UNP .. I have UNP in my Skyrim but.. huh?

Bone weight... xpms skeleton right? I.. I'm lost. Completely lost.

Export as an .obj from the CK?

 

did i say something about the ck? i don't even have that...

in nifkope, you select your bodie, and export as an .obj

 

just try it, and when something don't work, that's when you try to understand why

what is what, i don't know that, most of the time i have no idea what i am doing

 

i just put an outfit on v4, import that in blender to make the nif, and load it in bodyslide to weight it, that's all

 

a bodie need more things, you have to know how to make msn textures

daz eyes and eyelashes are complicated, that's probably why demonica don't have them

and the head won't speak if you don't make a new tri file

I said that because of a certain then-big-name modder who decided to commit career suicide on Nexus by posting screenshots that look like her "works" but were non-existent armor and accessories and posed with Daz.

I'm just being cautious.
