throttlekittys Hot Heads

throttlekitty\'s hot heads, v1. 7. 8. 2007 Type: Replacer / Resource for character heads. Conflicts: Any other mod that changes the \\meshes\\imperial\\headhuman.nif file. Edit 10. 11. 7: A new head mesh has been added! \'tkMaleHeadTweak2\' is a variation on the first \"masucline\" tweaked head; it puts the cheekbones back more in line with the cheeks for a \'meatier\' look. In the quest for an attractive face for my Oblivion characters, I found I had problems creating the sorts of faces that I find attractive: Sharp, angular and gaunt! The Facegen head is an \"averaged\" head mesh with even geometry to suit many types of face structures, But the facegen system doesn\'t have full coverage of the mesh in some areas when it comes to making something a little more stylized. So, I tweaked the shape of the base mesh to suit my taste, and I\'ve had a much easier/faster time creating the types of faces I find appealing. There are a lot more tweaks i\'d like to make to the head, but I don\'t have the software for adding a new facegen face. Thusly, I am limited to making alterations to the stock head, and cannot change the geometry in ways that I would like to. Indcluded are two .nif head meshes: One is more masculine, one is more feminine. These terms are applied a little loosely, as facegen can still work either to suit different kinds of female or male heads using either. Both heads will function exactly how the stock head does, they will animate, deform, and texture sliders work as normal. I have not included textures, and by default, these meshes use the textures from \\textures\\characters\\imperial\\ Masculine: - much more prominant chin - sharper jawline - more concave cheeks - sharper cheekbones - lower, more protruding brow - sharper lip shape - slightly narrowed and deepened eyes This mesh is suitable for a rugged and sharp look. The lower brows add a permanent sense of meanness with just a hint of a scowl. This mesh is a bit more restrictive than default or the feminine mesh. Feminine: - softer and skinnier jawline leading to a strong cheekbone - concave cheeks - skinnier nose - more defined lips with a slight pout - lots of subtlety :) This mesh is more suitable for a softer, cutesy face on the skinnier side of things. I would suggest checking both meshes out in nifskope to better see the changes I have made. It may help to temporarily replace \\meshes\\characters\\imperial\\headhuman.nif with one of these meshes. Load up the CS, and start checking out NPCs, or crafting a few heads to see how you like it. Usage: I really can\'t recommend using this as a full replacer, which I will explain shortly, but it is the easier route. Simply copy one of the heads to \\meshes\\characters\\imperial\\headhuman.nif and you\'re ready to go. You don\'t need to use the .egm, .egt and .tri files, they haven\'t changed from the orignals. Using these meshes as replacers
