Cybrxkhan's Leaderhead Thread

^True, but I wasn't aiming much for historical accuracy when covering the eye, anyways, because I needed to cover that eye of his. :lol:

Sometimes you have to be inventive and creative if you can't solve a problem technically.
 
you could instead delete the eye and sow it shut by pulling the eyelid down unrigging the eyelid from the eyelid bone, rig to the head bones, and making a scar texture

Now that would be totally cool!
 
Alright, update: seems like even the eyepatch can't solve the problem, because apparently for some reason now his other non-eye-patched eye starts to loll over a bit too much to the side, too; and, frankly, I don't think it's much use if the guy has two eyepatches. I'll see if I can go to one of my older saves and attempt what Ekmek suggestion - it was an option in the back of my mind, too, and it seems to be just as badass as having an eyepatch.

Give him sunglasses. :lol:
 
Why don't we give him a jet pack while we're a it?
 
Alright, I uploaded my latest blend to Megauploads. I decided to remove the eyepatch, since if you fix the eyes... Oh well, patchy the pirate was fun while it lasted. Anyhow, thanks a lot for helping me out again! Feel free to do whatever you need to do to it.

I'll probably skeleton swap it - so who do you want me to use?

EDIT: can you upload it here? megauploads is blocked for me. I just need the nif and last blend.

No problem. There is an attachment in this post. Tell me when you download it, so then I can remove it afterwards.

Also, forgive me for my ignorance, especially since I have made a number of leaderheads already, but I don't know what skeleton swapping to "someone else" means. :blush: Does this have something to do with the animations?

Thank you so much, anyways!

Yes. You put one LH on another's skeleton and make him use the other's animations.
 
Oh. :confused:

Anyhow, then, er, Gilgamesh. I've been using Gilgamesh's animations.
 
Yes, re-import/edit/export is maybe help. (Is that skeleton swap? I didn't really understand that.)

Say you just make some LH and do a NifSwap. SOMETIMES (usually because of an f-up) the LH isn't aligned with the skeleton/eyes/mouth/whatever properly. So you can reimport the nif you just made (after the NifSwap), and then align it with the skeleton/eyes/miouth/whatever so it lines up right. Then re-export that nif. Do another NifSwap and everything should be good. This doesn't always work of course, but sometimes it is as easy as doing that.
 
Well, I guess Mihirakula's going on the backburner for now. :sad:

In the meanwhile, I've started up another LH. He'll be a bit simpler and not as pizazzy, no eyepatch included.

Here's what I've whipped up so far, I'm no where near finished, but I'd thought I'd just show it anyhow. This will be Dharmasetu of my Srivijaya CotW for the far future. I'll probably give him Darius' suit in the final version.
