How To: Make Leaderheads! Ekmek's Guide

I haven't seen this one before...I usually just end up with no leaderheads or civs if I screw up :p What exactly happened?
 
So far, I always copied the meshes solely (at least if I don't misunderstand you) and never had problems. But well, you are the pro...
 
Blub. As I am not working with Blender, I can't tell you for sure whether my blend is working properly. There were two warnings in the backround which I only recognized when closing Blender. As it takes me years to import nifs, I didn't do it again, but instead simply post what I have. Haven't seen anything wrong when viewing the lh in Blender, though. What troubles did you encounter when importing Churchil?

Blender model.

Because the original nebuchadnezzar was made by nifskope this model had everything unrigged/not assigned. I did a quick rigging of the hat, beard, toga to major body parts so its not perfect. but i basically cleaned it up so it can be more like your last LH so you should be able to handle it from here. i recommend modifying the face more though.

attached is my blend.

Thank you very much, and my problem is "Python script error: check console", and then a skinless skeleton showing up!

But thank you again!

There I was referring to a problem I sometimes come across when I mess up on the XML. That I already know how to resolve. I do have a screenshot of a broken .nif though.

I'm download it, and I'm wondering....
Who is in the picture?:confused:
 
You mean, that it is rotated? Hmmm... don't know. In 3ds max, it happens from time to time, but then I don't care about it. Rotate the view and do like there is nothing strange. Could be, that the exported nif is strange, too - even after nifswap. But then, you can correct it inside nifskope. I suggest you do some minor changes to churchil, then export it and see whether you would get it to work. If not, let me know. I may play a little with the import settings, although they are set up the way Ekmek suggested in his tutorial.

I can honestly say I've never seen anything like that. I've done that kind of thing when I click the wrong mouse button, and I've had some .nif's where the hands are out of line, but where he's off-center and upside-down, never.

That's a version of Elizabeth. One of my friends asked me to do some work on that for his Civ game. This is what happened.

Wow! It's a good thing I'm not using Churchill to make Big Brother then :lol:

Btw, does anybody know if Mugabe usually wears a suit like FDR or if he's in some sort of military uniform, like De Gaulle?

its deals with transparencies. right click on ninode and choose add property pick alpha channel. that should do it. if not click on the alpha channel and set the last value to 1 instead of 0.

Sorry, Ekmek, I just can't seem to find the options you're talking about.

its in the same pop-up menu when you copy a branch but choose node, then choose attach property, then choose nialpha channel.

or just click on an alpha channel in another LH and choose copy, thn paste in yours.
 
Thanks. Also, who do you think has a better overall-like garment, Hannibal or Augustus? For my Big Brother LH, I think he should have black overalls, like the Inner Party does in the book, but I can't decide if Hannibal or Augustus has better armor for that purpose. I guess I could also use the leader of The Forge in Final Frontier, his chestplate looks a lot like overalls. I'm using Stalin's head for BB's head, because that most matches the description in the book. I could also just make .dds files for Oceania, Eastasia and Eurasia. I'm planning to make a mod based upon the world scenario in George Orwell's 1984. I'm planning to incorporate the existing Big Brother's .dds for the back-and-foreground though. I can never remember the name of who made that Big Brother, so if someone will remind me so I can give him credit that'd be great :goodjob:
