Everyones characters?

[Guest Canto]

Head06, Ren_Head and Digital Girl are the most common head meshes. Each custom race uses one of them, Bellas Blood Elves or DK High Imperials for example are using Head06. Asian modders are mostly using Ren_Head for what I've seen so far. Digital Girl is a pretty rare one and afaik not used very often. Face textures aren't very compatible if you're switching the face mesh, so you need to adjust them with Photoshop or any other program alike.

 

Yes, you can download them as a modders resource on TESNexus if you're planning to create a custom race. Finding them shouldn't be very hard.

Hi guys,

Been fooling around with photoshop again, so I decided to immortalize a character I loved from one of my favorite games.

 

This is Lilith from Borderlands

[spoiler=Preview]

 

 

 

Here is what she was going to look like till they redid the game

I assume you know which one.....

 

 

 

Still a work in progress, but I'm liking how its coming out.

[Silk]

Wow - love the look of the old characters. And the fact that the image to the left of it isn't cell shaded. I think that they actually spoilt the game now

 

Heres hoping that Borderlands 2 can live up to expectations.

 

Oh, and nice character. I think I might actually have to put in effort for mine now.

I agree, I also hope BL 2 is awesome. I loved the first one, (though I was shocked at their development shift, though they did a good job explaining why they made the game the way they did. They essentially said they were in over their heads when they first started the game.

 

By the way, you make some good characters yourself, so I wouldn't worry.

Thanks

I already knew about that page you linked, unfortunately

That's why I'm asking about the settings here

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Any suggestions?

That's beautiful

May I ask you what are your depth of field settings? ^^

With my current settings, even my char is blurred, which is weird...

@Ofinfin

 

I use the CrysisDof.fx. I only changed NearBlurDepth to 2 (mainly because I use the ultimate 3rd person camera mod) and ApertureDiameter to 3.5

[Aleanne]

 

2/I assume you use OBGE' date=' to have such a gorgeous environment? Can you post the .fx settings you are using?

Here they are. Note that they may darken the game too much. I had to power up a lot of light sources, and my brightess setting is at 80 or so (using HDR).

What race and face texture are you using? Adele has very realistic lips. Mine looks very plasticy

[Novafox]

She is a Blood Elf by BellaGail, using the updated head mesh availible at TESNexus.

[razriel]

trying the modified FF Race provided by LilDevil

 

my character, Effy ... after PS edit

 

 

 

 

doesn't come out the way I wanted, but I think she's quite lovely. so I stopped tinkering her face

[C-Winters]

Whoa... she totally reminds me of a female Leon Kennedy from resident evil 4! Amazing

[leddis3]

She is a Blood Elf by BellaGail' date=' using the updated head mesh availible at TESNexus.

What body texture are you using? The one that comes in that mod is very low res and I can't find one that matches the head texture.

[prq]

Awesome Blood Elf Novafox! I actually think the hardest thing of making a Blood Elf is that it's so very easy to make a good looking one that it becomes very hard to choose which one to play with!

 

[Geechan]

 

Jasmine Alive:

 

Jasmine Dead: (she uses wigs >_>. That's how I'm explaining her hair change.. yea...)

 

 

First is private textures for Blood Elf race, with Sleepy D's wig hair and Wiedergaenger eyes. Second is Wiedergaenger race, though she uses a custom texture I made, which is a mash up of a Wiedergaenger texture and a private texture. The top outfit is the MQ outfit http://www.mediafire.com/?2q05ks50gzrhaed The smaller bust is a conversion from a friend. The necklace can be found in Ryk's Angelika mod http://www.zodiac.o0o0.jp/rayk/ryk_mod_etc.html . And that is how I made her, before anyone asks. XD

[Novafox]

Her body texture is rather low res, compared to others Ive seen. Its just the default that came with the mod, plus all the various updates also located on the TESNexus page. While that set of screens aren't shopped, there is some OBGE involved. I also have a fairly decent graphics card, maybe that matters?

 

Edited for clairity.

Edit Part 2: Sorry, I misread your post prq. Long day at work I use Ozmo's Hi res textures, located here: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=20022

 

I havent cracked open the esp to see what textures the Blood Elves use, but if they use one of the ones modified by that mod above, it could explain the difference.

[Fiddlesticks]

For what it's worth, I mucked around a bit with matching the Blood Elves head texture to Ozmo's hi-res textures earlier today and, being a total photoshop n00b, gave up quickly. I really have no damn idea what I'm doing with that application.

 

I tried color matching a copy of Ozmo's texture to the Blood Elf head texture and vice versa with no luck. I'm not sure if I'll keep messing with it or not.

[leddis3]

Well I've found that Ozmo's Mystic Elf Remake package has a skin that's rather close to the Blood Elf head in the Mystic Dark Elf Remake folder.

Just lowered the brightness of the texture a little bit.

 

 

[Fiddlesticks]

Great idea, I'll give it a shot. In the meantime, here's a few shots I've taken of a different character:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Criticism is encouraged; I'm sure I'm doing a lot of things wrong, especially in the touch-up department as I am a technically-minded man and not a graphic designer in any sense.

[Phelps1247]

As criticism is encouraged I'll say way too many people use that hair.

[razriel]

As criticism is encouraged I'll say way too many people use that hair.

 

lol .. okay here's one that doesn't

 

 

[Fiddlesticks]

As criticism is encouraged I'll say way too many people use that hair.

Thanks, that's exactly the kind of advice I was hoping for.

 

I'm working on doing a color alteration to one of Sleepy's wigs but it's slow going because, I mean you know, open Photoshop, alter texture, run Oblivion, check texture, quit oblivion, make minor alteration, mix & repeat.

 

I'm gonna see if I can't find an application to maybe get a cheap, fast preview render of NIF files with textures. EDIT: (Tommy Wiseau Voice)Oh, hey NIFSkope(/Tommy Wiseau Voice).
