Replacing the looks of a Creature.

[Anderill]

If I wanted to totally change the looks of Hagravens, would the only thing I need to do be Edit them in the CK?

What if I wanted to make Varied appearances?

You need to change the mesh which can't be done in the CK. You'll need Blender, 3ds Max, ZBrush or any other 3d program to do it, and then weightpaint the new body to the skeleton.

Couldn't I just change the whole race to use a different body?

Like create a new hagraven race?

 

Sorry, never done anything like this before.

Giving them new meshes is giving the whole race new bodies. If you give the new meshes the same names as the old Hagraven meshes,you could actually avoid using the Creation Kit to alter them altogether. You have to be sure that the new meshes can make use of the old textures or else you'll have to re-do those,too.

 

Now,if you don't want to replace the old Hagraven race but create a new one to add to the leveled list,you could just make a duplicate of the Hagraven race in the Creation Kit then change its name before assigning it the new set of meshes and textures.
