Orc Head Replacer

[marek0712]

Hey, folks!
I've just uploaded that orc head I created some time ago.
I was busy, that's why I haven't organized the files.

Here's the link for this: oblivion.nexusmods.com/mods/42509/

If you guys find any trouble or have any suggestion, give me a shout around here.

A great improvement over vanilla orcs


EDIT: It can't be downloaded yet. The text appearing instead suggest it's a matter of hours.

[marek0712]

Strange, it appears that two users have downloaded it.
If it still doesn't work for you, just let me know and I'll gladly upload it in my sendspace.

[amgepo]

The download is working now.

[marek0712]

Hey, man, is it working well in your computer?

[amgepo]

I would say so . Not much orcs to be seen (I never realized how few orcs are in Oblivion) but so far the change is an improvement (a great one). Good work

I've been wanting to do something a little less than this - i.e. a compromise between the current pig node, and the human one - as a modified morph, so it can be controlled in character generation with a slider.

Can you point me at the tools and how-to's you used?

[marek0712]

amgepo, I think there are more city guards than orcs in Oblivion. By the way, I'm asking that because I'm curious to see how my head works in a better computer. As you can see in my screenshots, my machine isn't a jewel.

@ghastly, well, I used Nifscope and Blender. Nifscope to set the nif file and Blender to do the modelling (I also have a tablet, and that helps!). I read the tutorial Editing the Head Mesh in blender by RGM. It's for Head06, but works well for Vanilla Heads. Just avoid the step "Remove Doublet Verts", when you press w, because it haven't worked for me. Maybe that's just for head06.
It's also important to keep the other files egm, egt and tri together with the nif.

Good luck!

Well, wrinkles in the upper part of the nose are more notizeable than in screenshots, which is good. It enfatizes the ferocity.

The best part is that the noses didn't atract attention either. It didn't seem like something not being part of vanilla (except for the fact that we know that vanilla noses suck ).

[marek0712]

Yeah, my computer is horrible. The wrinkles are part of the age textures. I had used the Imperial age textures until I noticed that the original orc textures are nice too - and it's less files to occupy my hard-disk. You can give it a try too.

Oh, boy, I miss my orc in Skyrim u.u

Finally! I really like that head replacer.
It makes me consider to play an Orc. Right now I'm playing an Argonian. There are way too many races in TES.

[marek0712]

Thanks, Chenoa!
Looks like no one complained about the meshes, that's nice. =D
